It really is a combination of all three, and I am not sure we draft our way out of it in one season.

1. The oline is suspect a times but they are no where near that bad.
2. Our receivers do not seem to be able to get into a position where Drew can throw them open anymore. When is the last time you heard someone say he threw them open? That was uttered many times in 2009-2010.
3. Drew ignores the check-down that is wide open and at times he could just run forward and slide to pick up 5-7 yards and doesn't.

There were many catch-able passes last night that were not caught. Our receivers do not seem to muscle the defender away.

All true Oak. I will cease from defending us in bad weather until we prove otherwise. When our receivers did get a chance to catch the ball it became slippy time.

Oh, and Meachem is NOT a possession receiver. Throw to him while he is wide open ONLY.

#3 has been killing me all season. Drew will try and force the home run instead of taking the sure thing. Unless it's Jimmy Graham going up against a gimped up nickel back I say he needs to take the check down.
