We can't run the ball...so taking your foot off the pedal and running the ball fails.
But, our QB throws int's under pressure too...so they run the ball to avoid interceptions.
It's a vicious cycle...
Having a good interior of the offensive line would largely correct it. We haven't had an above average Center in over a decade. Actually for most of that time we've had one of the worst Centers in the NFL.
Very true.....which is what leads to our QB throwing INTs, the C is in his lap most plays. Also, you can't run the ball, so defenses tee off on the pass.
I personally believe that if we had added Alex Mack in 2015, the playoff drought would already be over. You can't constantly get beat up the gut and win when it counts.
