With regards to the pass protection. Yes, the O-line has regressed in pass protection...in particular Braden Smith. But, that is not the whole story.
It's not like Daniel Jones was besieged by an early pass rush. In fact that was rarely the case. I can place equal blame on DJ as well as play calling.
Maybe DJ needs more freedom at the line to check to whatever he wants. Because there wer obvious blitz situations where we just were not prepared.
Yes, this an excellent time for the bye for the Colts. Some self-scouting needs to be done to break tendencies. I also believe that more bootlegs for DJ would be beneficial. DJ has got to stop drifting back in the pocket though, because he's turning 5 yd sacks into 10 yd sacks.
Shout out to the special teams! Every one of those big returns were critical to the victory.
