Form the articles at the time, Brodie recognized the blitz and pointed it out to Charles, who then took the wrong blitzer. Yes, it was a mistake from a blown assignment and most likely inexperience. How many blown assignments can you point to from experienced and lack of energy from experienced (older) players on every team, every Sunday? Hopefully the mistake doesn’t result in injury, but each circumstance of a missed assignment has that potential. It happens in every game, and jot just ours. Our guys aren’t perfect and and I know they all just try their best. It just happened to result in the injury this time.

Now, I do agree with you that the line and team must be put together mentally prepared and with the best players in each position to give the team the opportunity to win. I have to disagree that “What got Brodie hurt was that there is too much experimenting going on.” It isn’t working new players in and putting responsibility on them, it is just the specific hit, or the specific events of the moment. Had Brodie been turned slightly differently, it would have just been another sack. Had Tamba not fallen on the RBs feet during his tackle, he wouldn’t have bruised his spleen. So on and so forth.

I wish that we had the luxury of a solid line to limit the hits on our QBs. I do hope that the mobility of Tyler will keep him upright, but I think someone, experienced or not, will blow their assignment and we will all hold our breaths while he is running for his life, hoping that he survives.
