quick thoughts on another debacle

We haven't done many outside runs in general. Even Hines/WR's on jet sweeps like we've done before. I feel like I see soft looks quite a few times when they do the jet sweep motion, but they aren't calling it. I agree, it would loosen up the box and create some false-steps by defenders.

Yesterday was like the HOU game, especially offensively. It wasn't like JAX or KC. Our OL wasn't constantly allowing the pocket to collapse. But they did get flat out beat in some 1-on-1's against some good D-lineman.

But then Matt Ryan takes it from being a negative play to a full-blown fucking catastrophe with the fumbling. If it's not giving TEN the ball already in scoring range, it's creating a 3rd-and-impossible when it should be 3rd-and-medium.

Not only is it stopping our own offense which is moving the ball effectively even with zero running game... but it's pinning our defense in terrible position while they otherwise played plenty well enough to win.

I would guess we will win just enough games to put us out of contention for drafting a top QB and we know ballard isnt moving up to get one, so.......

What would a new coaching staff have provided us yesterday? Extra time in practice not turning the ball over at your own 30?

Mediocrity sucks. Although this might be a deep QB class with guys that have potential but need developing. I don’t know if I love the top couple guys.

Only takes one failed block to collapse the hole. They just aren’t playing as a unit. I don’t know. That’s what the oline vets were saying last week. We will find out soon.

I feel like we have been in constant decline with this group for a while. Seems like we could use a new voice next season.
