I never see him adjust plays, or blocking schemes. Opposing defenses don't even try to disguise blitzes against him most of the time. He does none of the "field general" type adjustments at the line of scrimmage like Brees, Rodgers, or Manning. He seems to just run whatever play is called, no matter what the defense presents. At some point, the excuse of poor protection has to dry up.

THIS

yeah his oline was struggling but he makes zero adjustments. he takes more sacks than rothlesburger. I give him more of the blame than his blocking.

he blows.

I saw that plain as day last night. He's my insurance policy for Vick, and now I'm pretty nervous. He wasn't calling out protections, so it's not confusing why he was on his back all night.
