Brissett has always taken a lot of sacks, and it has only gotten worse. The absolute worst type of QB for a team with an inexperienced OL is a stationary one that is reluctant to throw into tight windows. It is a recipe for disaster, and makes everyone else look worse than they are.

Andy Brickley's potty mouth
Also, they are blitzing repeatedly, because word is out Brissett is very slow on reads.
This is exactly why I'm willing to give Maye a shot, he brings a much different dynamic that teams would have to plan for and couldn't just unleash the blitz. They would actually need to contain against him. This would be a totally different offense. Maye would make the OL look a lot better. It looks as bad as it does because Brissett sucks.

That's one thing they've got a good team needs at least. A #1 corner.

The Coney Island of my mind
Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels are doing just fine today. Looks bad on someone Maye not getting a chance. Pats OL that horrific?
The universal consensus after the draft was that Williams and Daniels were going to be Day One plug-and-plays, and that Maye was going to watch for a year. Week-over-week reactions based on what people are seeing Right Now doesn't change that.

Really have to wonder how bad Maye is in practice for them to refuse to play him.
I don't buy the line/potential injury reasoning.

Judging from the whispers from the locker room, it would seem that is not the case. Other players want him out there.

Part of the issue this week is with Andrews being out Brissett is making the protection calls. It could be Maye wasn't 100% ready for that.

Oh I agree. I was saying that derisively because what he showed in pre season was better than this
