The rushing to the line factor was the same for both teams. Back in the day our OL would have been able to take advantage of the opposing DL being back on their heels. One truism from the Parcel's era s that if you give a team an excuse to fail, they will. If BB has lost anything it is that he listened to the criticism about being too hard and unapproachable to become someone pretending to be chill. The mental edge is as important as physical as talent in any sport that is dangerous. More than than the experience/talent difference vs Mac this is where losing TB12 really hurts.
Sorry if I misunderstood. You point out a bigger issue with the veteran center not setting the tone. He is supposed to be the leader of the OL and help Mac through the transition. Where is leadership for whole the offense coming from? We know the coaches are learning on the job. Mac is in year 2 so his credibility is not really established. We have seen that he is starting to show his frustration and hold the WRs accountable for doing their part after the play. Part of his development will be to hold them accountable during the play by not going to repeat offenders. It really sucks that there will be no continuity during the evolution.I didn't mean for my thoughts to be seen as excuse-making... It's more like explaining another example of just how mentally weak this team is, as you correctly stated... It is disappointing however that on this particular one it was Andrews who was the (mentally) weak link there.

"Nice play."Queen has tweeted that Mac said something to him, without specifying what it was.
Campbell isn't a dirty player. There's zero history and he's one of the most charitable guys in the league. This isn't a Pollard rolling up on Gronk situation where there's a lot of history and motive.
Let me crush the QB on the last play... It was pointless except for revengeGiven Campbell's physique and inability to spontaneously levitate, I'm not sure how people would expect him to avoid landing as he did.
Was there a penalty? Fine? Suspension? I just don't see any obvious intent to injure on the replay.Let me crush the QB on the last play... It was pointless except for revenge
