Garwo is a fumbling machine.
I do not know why Levy plays so much.
The OL looked better.
This.
In fairness to Levy, he’s quite good in pass protection. But, overall, I don’t get the reticence of using Bailey. He was playing great yesterday. But, then they switched things up with Garwo... which started the gifting process that quickly resulted in us needing to throw the ball all over the field.
Part of the reason why Jurk was off yesterday was VT doing a good job defensively. Give them credit. Anyone who has watched games this year knows that Jurk uses Long as a safety blanket. He’s either the first or bailout read. VT schemes to take Long out of the equation. They also seemed to shadow Flowers. Gill, Galloway and the backs were open all day. But, without Long, Jurk couldn’t get in rhythm and was just off all day as a result. Not everyone will be able to copy this D successfully... but I’m sure they will try.
Btw... with the OL... are we a full time ZBS team again? The struggles on the OL feel like the mess we had with Jim Turner... which prompted JB3’s return. It is the only thing that makes sense as to why you would shuffle and why these seasoned, well-respected players would suddenly suck so bad and miss tons of assignments. That said, they were marginally better this week. But, still way too many times guys are coming untouched because of missed line calls.
