But I thought in the Fla game two things happened:
1- they got pushed back into the pocket BUT maintained that pocket for Dobbs. There weren't many flat out whiffs. Maybe Dobbs didn't have as much time as we would like him to have but our guys, for the most part, kept that shell around him.
2- Dobbs had incredible trust in that o-line to stand in that pocket and deliver many of those passes. He also showed great courage to step into his throws when he knew he was going to get hit.
A couple times Fla got a free run at Dobbs on a blitz but I was pretty surprised how our line held up against that great, and make no mistake it is great, D-line of Fla. And Dobbs made some great and accurate throws when he knew that pocket was collapsing and guys in his face.
The o-line did what we needed to. Just not many busts or whiffs. Just give him a couple seconds and they did. They can and will get better. But think about how big a mismatch we thought it would be coming into the game. They really stepped up.
