that's an interesting point. That first sack/fumble was just as much or more on JC as the o line. He stepped up in the pocket but did so too quickly considering he didn't get rid of it. He could've stayed behind his blockers a second or two longer. I see why Zorn said he should've run it, cause he stepped right into the pressure.

Well I am sure he was taught to step us since there was a big issue with him fumbling in the game against the Giants because he didn't step up. I think JC is not getting clear direction and on the other hand he does not have the freedom to think for himself. He has to think too much -- instead of letting him go out there and use his instincts. If I was him I would dump it off to Cooley also. But what makes some people think that "at times" Cooley isn't the best option when our best receiver is getting double teamed and the other WRs are not creating separation. Also if he doesn't have time then he is going to rush things. But its a combination of a few things. This is exactly why Sherm Lewis was brought in to find out what the issue is with our offense.
