Conklin not handling Pass Pro well...




While reviewing all of the offensive plays from our Preseason game against the Bears I think I picked up on some glaring and consistent issues. I am by no means an expert on OL play but I can confidently say that Conklin gets shoved backward in Pass Pro quite often when he is left on an island. Mariota sailed or just missed a few different throws to his right (as has been documented in the past) yesterday and on each of them he looked to be lacking confidence in Conklin not getting backed up into him. It is pretty tough to set your feet when your RT is stepping on your toes. I will be curious to see if the coaching staff addresses this with a TE on the right side or using more rollouts, perhaps?

Anyone else notice this?
