Time to Throw vs. Sack Rate (Russ vs Notable Peers)

[jammerhawk]

The numbers are interesting but do not tell the whole story. It’s difficult to effectively pass block for a QB who is sandlot playing to extend time. There’s enough blame to be shared around, on RW for holding the ball too long, or running into the rush, on scheme for slow developing plays, on the OLine for failure to protect, on a weak play action game or upon the RBs for not selling it, on WRs & TEs for not getting open quicker, on the coaching staff for not creating up tempo offence, on the PC for being highly predictable.

A change of scheme, more strength in the interior OLine, a short quick passing O, effective play action will all help protect RW better but he needs to contribute too.

Hence, why he said he needs to play better too. Seems people forget he recognized that he needs to play better also.

John: I wasn't slagging RW just saying there is enough "blame" if you want to use that word to share around. I am huge RW fan espect him and know the team needs to protect him better but he is part of the problem and many hits he experiences can be shown to be on him. The O needs to be faster and have a play action that is respected, and less predictability in scheme. All of which will help Wilson get hit less if he gets rid of the ball quicker.
