I think it has more to do with the lack of positional consistency of the offensive line. And more importantly, the center position. It may also be on Dalton to a degree. The cadence may be causing an issue at times.

You can only coach so much. It has more to do with repetition. You can only do so much as a coach when the offensive line (including the TE) has been in a constant flux. The main culprit has been the lineman with the fewest snaps, Throckmorton. He's had close to 20% of the entire team's false starts himself.

What else can a coach do to to get him to stop? Bench him? Hell, he's only playing because there isn't anyone else available. Every new CBA reduces the amount of time that coaches can spend with players. It also reduces the number of practice repetitions. At some point to the individual players that are making mistakes. If it was solely on coaching the entire team would be making the same mistakes. They aren't.

Doesn't make me happy either because I don't believe that's the main issue. Put the blame where it belongs ... on the players themselves. We have backups up and down the offensive line. Sadly mistakes come with that situation. Throwing blame at one of the best defensive line coaches in the league makes no sense.
