Sometimes, statistics don’t lie
 

Sam Ehlinger dropped back to pass 29 times on Sunday. According to the guys at PFF, he was sacked 10 times, hit 3 more, and pressured another 10. It might well win the award for worst performance by an Offensive Line in the history of the game.

The curious thing, and the factoid that might have gotten Reich fired, is that I can’t remember a single occasion on which Reich had his Quarterback, a guy who is reasonably mobile, roll out to avoid pressure.

I mentioned this in the game thread as well. No rollouts, no naked bootlegs, no creativity. But also, why so many games of bad play by Pryor before he was benched?

My wife asked, “ they couldn't run the stretch play”?

Things don’t get better when you fire coaches, they get worse. I think Irsay made Reich fired Brady. I also think Reich resigned just fed up with things.

This season was done the moment they decided to play Ehlinger. They are gearing up for a rebuild and new QB new system.

That’s what they should have done when Luck retired. Instead Ballard has prioritized his job security.

probably not far off.

Ehlinger's first pass last week was a rollout i believe

I did not watch the first drive, but I did not see any rollouts after I started watching.

Correct, but he didn't have a single rollout vs the Pats.
