Again, they have absolutely no idea from down to down how this OL will hold up in pass protection. JB was sacked 3x sunday but hit 9-10 more times and no idea how many others were rushed. If I'm their brain brass I'm getting JB out there on more roll outs/ sprint outs and use the passing game a bit more as run plays in completing more 5-6 yard passes. Don't worry about those deeper downfield gains as much and look at getting in better down and distance situations. If they do that they'll have plenty of success in more downfield plays.
They need to take a lesson from the Ravens offense who were able to dink and dunk their way on several drives to converting into 1st downs last night. Lots of quick outs,quick hitters on screens, quick hitches, crossing patterns, dig patterns, etc.
As stated in the article, the defense knows what we're doing on pretty much every play because we're doing no misdirection or anything to disguise the plays. When the front 7 know exactly what you're going to be doing of course that's going to make the Oline look worse.
Zac Taylor apparently wants to tell the opposing teams "Hey, this is what we're going to do. Try and stop us bitches".......but then they do stop it. Over and over and over again.
