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.

You can throw the blame wherever you want all day, but at the end of the day, it's up to the Head Coach to fix these problems.

Tell me how the head coach gets the players, coached by perhaps the best offensive line coach in the game today, better than they are being coached by said coach.

Please explain. In detail. I guess I'm slow. What am I missing?
