Seven games in it’s pretty apparent that we’re not going to be able to protect Mensah against a half way decent pass rush.
Given this liability it seems that we are going to have to adjust the scheme to something similar to Texas under Sark: lots of screens to receivers, backs, and tight ends, mixed with quick passes and play-action shots. That’s probably the best thing we can do that doesnt require good protection. I don’t follow the Dolphins but Tua seemed to do a lot of it a few years ago
I’m not an X’s and O’s guy at all but Mensah will get destroyed against a decent line if we keep doing what we do. I hate the horizontal game but at this point we don’t have much choice.
