Even with the o-line being injury riddled last year, and not performing well overall...Joe still ranked 3rd in average time before being forced to scramble, and had the 4th highest amount of throws under 2.5 seconds.
It's not crazy to think that with the addition of Reiff, getting a starting RG in the draft, getting a full year out of XSF or Spain at LG, and if the line as a whole can stay relatively healthy...that there's reason for optimism this year.
Right. What no one seemingly wants to admit, is once we had Spain and XFS both healthy and playing, the wholesale onslaught of our QB was stopped.
