It's not all on the o line though. Example: with about 7 minutes to go in game when Dobbs nearly threw his second pic - AS blitzed the LB. The o line created a nice pocket and picked up all D-lineman (i.e., they were all engaged). Kamara did not recognize the blitz and ran a flat route leaving the LB unblocked. Dobbs should have recognized this at LOS before snap and so should have Kamara - it was not a delayed blitz and was obvious.CORRECT:
J Dobbs did not execute very well. Occassion pressure, but mostly poor execution and decisions.
The running back had to deal with early contact for the entire game. O-Line did not get a push, even late in the game.
Defense, 13 points only. If we give up 13 point per game, best in nation. Not sure about 1st half, but the expected D showed in the 4th quarter.
Offense, 20 points only. Honestly, I expected about 35-42 total, with upside. Simply, poor execution of a limited game plan
Not denying they didn't play great - but Dobbs missed a lot of throws with no pressure. We've seen that before, but this is the first time I've seen him make terrible decisions. I think our schemes weren't solid either (see my post above). How do we not account for a blitzing LB. How does Kamara and Dobbs not see that? Better communication would certainly help. So would better coaching.Dobbs was not good. No argument. But he did not have adequate time most of the time. The o line was pathetic. So while Dobbs was bad... The same is true of the o line.
