And they did it twice to us as well

Twice on 2nd/3rd and 20 or so they threw screens for first downs.

Fans and I am sure defensive coaches as well just hate that.


Also did everyone notice how Luck had a WR screen or screen knocked down early at the line, then later in the game, twice, he adjusted on similar plays. one of them was the Rogers screen for a first down. Threw the ball under/around the defenders jumping arms for the completion?

First game would've been Webb and Clark at tackle, I think?

That literally happened to the Texans yesterday. 1st and 10, Watt gets a sack to make it 2nd and 18, then Luck finds Hilton for 25+.

I think things started to stabilize when Castonzo came back. I like Nelson and his highlight plays, but he is still a rookie.
