Yeah - make him throw from the pocket and he sucks.I've been kicking this around too. This past offseason the one coach hire that I did not like was the DL hire. Looking at his history, I did not like the production at each of his stops. Felt like an underwhelming addition. Then the camp reports started rolling in about how good our DL was performing and I figured ok cool he's gonna make a statement this season with this young group.
That still might happen. I'm not down on this front or anything and I expect them to get on a nice roll as we go. But the Cards game really shook my confidence. Just the complete disregard of something so obvious as rush discipline vs Murray, to me, is unforgiveable. But that said it falls mainly on DC for me. Because if he was beating that drum all week prior there is no way we would have seen that shit we saw. With Murray it's not about sacks or pressures, it is about containment.
So we'll see what they do vs SF. Whose QB will also brutalize us just in smaller chunks if the rush isn't coordinated.
Allow him to roll out and he becomes an all pro
Rams were great the last few years making him throw from the pocket.
Plus that's why I call him 8 game Murray. By the 8th game, his hamstring starts acting up from all the hits from running around and he isn't as mobile after the 8th game.
Lamar Jackson astounds me that he can still run around after 8 games from all the hits he incurs.
