Granted Dobbs ability to get out of trouble helped but there were times he stood in the pocket ripe for a sack.

Congrats OL.

Gotta give these boys some love. If Kendrick played rt tonight he was absolutely great! I know Dobbs helps them alot but it definitely was not jail break back there tonight.

I was looking to see if we gave up any. Incredible turn around. I also like how Dobbs throws the ball away. I like Worley but he never seems to throw it away.

They looked good. It's almost as if the line had gained confidence in the fact that they know Dobbs will roll out if the pocket breaks down.

I'm happy with the stat but it's a little misleading. If we had another Worleyesque statue back there the sacks could've easily been in the double digits so... Can we say this O line has improved? I don't think so. But, honestly, as long as we keep finding ways to win this year it won't matter

Dobbs skill set helps for sure, but they are improving and gaining confidence on every snap.

O=Line is finally starting to Gel a little. Experience is the only way to make a bad O=Line good.

This team did not quit! Even with all of the adversity. The fight is there! Dobbs is a playmaker, FEARLESS! :)

Even on the long TD run to put SCAR back up by 2 TDs they still chased him all the way down the field. Two years ago they would have quit running at the 50 yd line.

Defense can't pin their ears back with dual threat qb

Exactly. On many of the deeper throws Dobbs had plenty of time the commentators even mentioned it. The main reason for that is because the defense has to respect a scrambling qb so they can't crash in. Considering the effort Dobbs had tonight it's only gonna make things tougher for our opponents now.

Oh, and it was great to see all of them there people disappointed tonight. I love it.

Yeah, thats awesome. And the sad thing is that Worley would have taken 5-6 sacks tonite, and had -30 yards rushing.

Its pretty obvious what this offense needs. Even more obvious that this staff has no ability to mold an offense to their talent (QB).

Here's the difference. With a mobile qb the d can't pin their ears back sellout with reckless pursuit. They have to stay disciplined.

what is misleading is the sack total thus far. I have said since day 1 that Worley caused way more sacks than this line actually gave up. Yes they are young, but they are not as bad as their reputation is. Worley held the ball way to long, and hardly ever threw the ball away.

Very proud of the O line. Even when Dobbs sat in the pocket, they gave him great protection all night. Sure Dobbs mobility helped a lot, but they gave him legit protection when he needed it. Awesome to watch. 0 sacks! :rock:

A mobile QB keeps the defense honest. When the blitz Dobbs runs out for a gain, and they know that. While his accuracy isn't where it needs to be, he's a metric-ass-ton better than last year, and will hopefully improve through the rest of the season and into next year.

Congrats to him for giving this offense some hope in spite of the terrible plays that Bajakian calls 75% of the time.
