I think I would bench Torrence for Edwards for the rest of this game. He might be the better option heading into the playoffs. No shame in Torrence hitting the rookie wall.
The OL was abysmal on that entire drive. Torrence in particular is starting to remind me of Saffold from last year, it has been that bad in recent weeks.
The two plays were not remotely similar. Quick slant like what Kincaid ran is an automatic win against cover 0. A flare to the flats is not with a free rusher.
The hot read was Shakir but you need to at least slow the free rusher down so Shakir has a chance to finish his route. That's exactly where Josh was looking.
Hot read doesn't matter when there's a completely unblocked free rusher up the middle. Someone on the interior screwed up. Happened several times against the Pats too.
I don't think our defense can do anything without Douglas on the field. Losing our only true #1 CB against the best offense in the NFL is an impossible disadvantage in the middle of the game.
He's had issues in the 1st quarter over the last three weeks before looking like his usual self the rest of the game. Slow starts for sure. Hopefully something he can work on because spotting a defense a full quarter isn't going to work in the playoffs.
