I just want to highlight something that is truly important and that is the value of pass protection. Especially interior lineman play for a QB like Russ.
This is what great protection looks like. Yes, I know QBs can play a role in protection, and that some of the sacks/stalled drives last year were on Russ. But it has never felt like we truly invested in a proper O-line overall. While we can say Russ disappeared in the 2nd half, the stats show that the O-line also disappeared.
Now with Russ finally in a modern offense (10 years later) and two really good guards in Lewis and Gabe Jackson, this is exciting. Look at how Gabe man handles what looks like Buckner. Simply impressive and incredible and I really hope he can stay healthy :irishdrinkers:
