I think the same can be said about receivers inability to bail (at times) the QB. I think Marvin would like to see Andy re establish his protection. We've all seen Tom Brady & Aaron Rodgers stay behind the line, move the pocket & evade eminent pressure by re estabilishing protection even when there's a complete break down or totally missed block.
With that said, in no way am I condoning last year's protection. It was abysmal and needs to be addressed.
The line is a ton to blame but you are exactly right. Sometimes it seems that Andy could just step up and throw the ball, instead he rolls into the pressure. That being said, our receivers don't do a good job of the scramble drill. I know when Roethlessburger gets out of a sack there are receivers running open everywhere
