Interesting take by Bedard, in the first of his breakdowns. He went over the 6 sacks and found that on 5 of them, the blame would go to others for the play's failure. Mostly Brown, Ferrentz and Cajuste for bad protection, but he damned multiple receivers like Henry who didn't have his head around when there WAS a chance to complete the pass. On the one he blamed Mac for was waiting on Herny and Stevenson to turn their heads and NOT going to Aghular or Bourne who were open on the other side. Then he backs HIS interpretation of the data with film.
BTW- I happened to notice after reading a story about Fields' shoulder separation. I couldn't help notice that he had 1642 passing yards and was treated this year (or at least after the Pats game) as the top guy from his class and a budding superstar. Yet the much maligned Mac Jones who just as quickly had gone from being the next Brady, to 'who's next"; has 1384 yds in FOUR fewer games.
Now I'm not myopic. I understand how Fields is a dynamic run threat, but the dude still can't pass in those critical moments. And when the greatest ability is your availability , his latest injury should be a cautionary tale to those teams that are willing to live or die on the back of a dual threat QB. I see a guy like Allen being the exception to the rule just because he's so damned big. When he's takes of he's going to be bigger than 90% of the guys trying to tackle him in the 2nd level. I worry about the poor 180lb DBs trying to bring him down. IIRC Jackson has only finished the season in 3 of his 5 years, and the 5th one isn't over yet for the one playoff win QB.
