Our pass protection can’t keep performing like this. Our leading candidate for MVP is running for his life on almost every snap and if this continues his body will not hold up for the remainder of the season. With Hurt’s knee issues it’s obvious that his game is suffering this year but because of that knee, he’s not as mobile as he was last season to escape the pocket collapsing. I am by no means a doomer, but analytically speaking, the coaching staff needs to make adjustments.

For instance, I would keep tight end to block on more downs and cut back on the empty backfield formations to give additional pass protection for Hurts.

This cannot continue. GO BIRDS!
