Here's what I have noticed. Counting the parts of the pre-season games that had any relevance and this game we have seen several QBs who seem to drop back and get rid of the ball to the first guy on their read very often. It seems they are rather comfortable coming to the line, reading the D and then KNOWING where the best option is. JC does not have this. He seems to have a stone cold progression on every play that he dogmatically follows and invariably the first option isn't open. In this league if your first option isn't open and your line is pass blocking only adequately or worse then your are dead. I counted numerous times where there was a 3/4 option open that JC never got to.

We have to pass protect better to give him a achance to get to these reads.
We have to execute so everyone, most importantly JC, gains comfort so know what to do.
We HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO run the ball with more aggression from our line. They need to start mauling. That will make it much easier for everyone to build a better comfort level.
We have to pray that JC's short comings right now are a result of ignorance and inexperience rather than an inate inability to execute this offense.
