What’s he supposed to say? "wilson can't trust the O-line, so don't expect any throws from the pocket"
Bevell is right. He really has no choice but to trust the protection. If he doesn't and bails earlier than he needs to -- it's only going to hurt the passing game.
Is it ideal? Is the pass protection good? Of course not. But Wilson has to trust it unless we want to give up on the passing game.
I was going to post something similar, but I don't fully agree with the sentiments. I don't think the main issue is Russ bailing too early this year, I think he's improved on that and whilst he still does it, I'll take the good with the bad because the former often exceeds the latter when he's making plays with his feet.
I seldom see Bevell drawing attention to himself, it's like the coaching staff are infallible; which is dumb. It's always 'Russ needs to trust his guys, or 'Russ needs to get the ball out quicker'. How about 'we need to exploit matchups better' or 'we need to call plays that cater to our inexperienced O-line' - we achieved that in the running game last week, i hope our passing game can make the leap. Too many times are our receivers not getting their head round before the pressure comes, or Jimmy Graham's in blocking on important passing plays.
I think Russ needs to trust his receivers more than his linemen.
