We are done time to tank.

Kind of like when a Db draws PI to prevent a sure Td. Don’t know if it works that way on offense though.

It does in a way. Speakning from my own experience, when you play O-line you feel a great deal of responsibility for the QB and more often than not you rather take a holding penalty than letting your defender get a clear path to hit him.

While playing I did a lot of things I'm not particularly proud of just to protect the QB.

I wish I knew where Armsteads head was last night. He looked terrible. Everyone has a bad game I just hope he plays like he normally does for the rest of the year. It's a miracle Teddy didnt fumble on that blind side hit.

If I had to put a finger on it, I'd say there was snap count confusion a couple of times. Robert Quinn is a hell of a pass rusher though. He's made a lot of tackles look bad. Easy to see why the Saints had interest in him this off season.

TA is an elite LT. He'll play much better next Sunday.
