At least Bradford wasn't complete dogshit this week ...
He still hasn't got a prayer going forward because of that offensive line.
I watched a fair bit of the match again today. It frustrated me even more. Starting alongside the QB with no momentum, and asking him to move parallel isn't Murrays go. It suits Matthews a bit more - the more I see glimpses of Matthes, he could be our "Shady-lite" - but we aren't using him!
But we can't run north/south because of the O-line problem that I'll keep whinging about, and because Kelly doesn't use any semblance of an i-formation anyway.
Which, in my view, all leads to the lack of rush protection causing Bradford bigger problems than our lack of pass protection. Matthews, Agholar and Ertz can't get open because teams can completely sell out the run against us and we still don't make yards. This is a bigger problem than any lack of time in the pocket, because while it's been a problem, it hasn't been in the top 5 problems that we've been having.
The worst bit about re-watching yesterdays game? It absolutely confirmed everything I said in the weekly thread and got in an argument about. Washington are horrible. Despite our abysmal first half, we got back into it when Bradford starting airing it out and making Washington defend more than 15 yards in front of the line of scrimmage... and we had it won!
It is frustratingly ironic that the defence, who've been the sole reason that we've able to stay in games for so long, cost us that game yesterday in the course of one drive.
