Its puzzling to me how some players get all the excuses in the world (*cough* Jimmy *cough,* ) while others are fed to the lions despite having proven success at the NFL level (Pettis/Kap).
I really think there are some underlying biases that people aren't even aware they have. Its kind of a fact of life.
Kap has a bad game and sacked multiple times: Dude can't call protection at the line of scrimmage. He has no pocket awareness. Good QBs make their line better. His release is to slow.
Jimmy has a bad game and sacked multiple times: The line is trash. Jimmy needs more than four seconds to throw. Its not his fault he's got happy feet, his line wont block....
Sorry just venting on the inequities.
so far this season the only excuses I've seen and have used myself have been A. rust (i think idr) and B. his ankle.
oline has been trash almost all year except for the last game and maybe the Rams game
