Two words: pass protection. It was clear watching the games that he wasn't even allowed much time in the pocket.Can't remember where I read it, but Russell lead the league in attempted passes from outside the pocket (26%). He also lead the league in scrambles with 50. As much as people try and convince me that he is just fine in the pocket, I'm not sure that's true. His height is something he and the staff have to manage. He did do well playing catchup in the playoffs, but I'm not sure he can be a volume passer
The o-line getting back in form is my main concern going into Sunday's game
