Trench

Yeah hit our skill guys are good. There is no doubt about it. 

The O-line specifically, when it gets better we’ll have some space. The

last week i rewatched some of the earlier games this season, while Martinez has not been at his best, to me a lot of his woes are having zero time to process what's going on before he's running for his life. and a lot of the time it's on a four man rush. 

can't be but so mad at his mistakes when he has to pirouette out of a sack because his linemen are getting bench pressed in his lap

 
We really got exposed in this area tonight.  (Bit of an understatement.  Hell, it's been an issue all season long!) But I think this is probably the biggest reason why Martinez looks worse this year.  He now seems to have "happy feet" which is not good at all for a quarterback.  I am fairly worried if he can ever recover from it.  I have to admit I was a little worried when Jurgens was named starting center with very little time even practicing the position in fall camp.  It shows in his snaps (that seem to represent a Taylor Martinez passing chart) and I think that has thrown off Adrian's mojo from the start of this season.  The rest of the line looks terrible as well and that could be due in part missed communications from the center position.  Frustrating.  Just frustrating.

OLine played much better when Adrian went under center.  Jurgens is severely handicapping the offense with the poor snaps.  It is like giving a down away every series.  But the OLines and  DLines are no doubt the weak links.

That's kind of an accurate way of looking at it.  How many times would that screw things up on a veer option or RPO?  Quite a few I'm guessing.

Herbie pointed this out during the game. When you get a bad snap you just hand it off because you have lost the chance to read the play. Maybe pulling the ball was better but when you're jumping to catch it you don't get the chance to read it.

I get that Cam is a talented kid but making the QB jump for every snap is a deal killer. Learn to snap or ride the pine.

Unfortunately,  their defense was already in our backfield by that time.
