You can't blame the o-line when they've given Taysom 3-4 seconds to get rid of the ball. We don't have an aTm o-line that's gonna give Taysom 8-9 seconds to deliver the ball, but nobody else besides aTm does, either.
I thought the o-line did a decent job vs a very good Texas d-line. They opened holes and gave Taysom enough time to make throws. Against Houston, the o-line did their jobs for the most part. I'm sure there were some plays they got beat on. But the pressure came from Houston's delayed blitzes. That's not on the o-line. That's on the OC and the QB to recognize and exploit. If the MLB is going to constantly come on a delayed blitz, send a TE to his vacated spot and it'll be wide open the entire game.
The ball was sailing on Taysom in the 1st half, and he got a little gun shy in the 2nd. That, to me, was our biggest issue vs Houston. When Taysom wasn't gun shy in the 1st half, we:
- had Blackmon's TD called back on his own penalty
- scored a TD
- scored a TD
- scored a TD
- if not for a tipped int, fairly confident we'd have just scored another TD
- strip fumble after a long pass play.
When Taysom was letting the ball fly, even though he was missing some throws, Houston couldn't stop our offense.
