And there is plenty of blame to spread around for those passing stats. Including a lack of pass rush from anyone other than Trey Hendrickson and underperforming veteran DBs like Awuzie and Scott. Scott as you should know lost his starting job to Turner just a couple of weeks ago
Are they rapidly improving? The texans threw for 356, Lamar threw for 256 (which is above his average), Pickett had his best passing day of this season, maybe his career last week, and 300 yards to the Jags...
The pass rush has an impact for sure, I've just seen too many examples of getting excited by young players and being overly confident in their improvement going into the next season (Ossai this past offseason). I'd be much more optimistic if we were actually seeing improvement from them this season. At a certain point, by the end of your 2nd or rookie season, you've played a lot of ball and the improvement of play from the end of rookie year to 2nd year isn't as drastic as many folks think. It just feels like it is because they play at that improved level for the entirety of their 2nd (or 3rd) season.
