We have multiple problems. We allow too much pressure, especially up the middle. Our QBs (whoever is playing), appear to have some blinders in the middle of the field and we routinely throw into danger. With one exception, we saw Lance play the Jimmy-style offense. Shanahan routinely makes some bizarre judgment calls.
Our single biggest need is a starting RG, which we don't appear to have.
You got me thinking. Kyle's seen this before and adjusted to a mere negative passing game to compensate. Lots of fly sweeps, WR screens behind the LOS, etc. We saw some of that last night esp. with Jennings.
So if the starting unit isn't looking too hot either, I wonder how much the pass protection will factor into if/when Kyle will start Lance. Because the flip side is with Lance, he has more move-the-pocket options, rollouts, keepers, etc.
