Smith has almost no time to throw.
Our Oline sucks. How can you expect AS to drop back 7 steps if half of the Oline can't block? Hudson and Asamoah are getting pushed back into the pocket...great, now Smith has to move left or right into the pocket...so he decides to naturally move right because he's right handed. Welp, can't do that because Fisher got his ****ing ass kicked too. So now all of this being in a span of a couple or few seconds, AS is running for his life as he either scrambles to pick up a few yards with his legs on a broken play or he takes a sack.
Hey at least he's not throwing picks. When you have the best punter in the NFL that can pin teams back deep, it's MUCH better to take the loss of yardage and just punt (esp w/ this defense) than to throw a pick and give the ball to the other team w/ good field position. You put the defense in great positions to do it's job and let them get the ball back to you on offense so you can try again. That's the game we're playing right now...Herm Edwards has to be jacking off furiously to our style of play.
If our offense wants to get better 3 obvious things MUST happen.
- We need to hand the ball off to Charles more. At times the playcalling against PHI was ridiculous. He's the best player on this team, and one of the best in the NFL..you need to get the ball in his hands.
- Oline needs to block much better, particularly Eric Fisher.
- Give the ball to ****ing Jamaal Charles
