Great article and breakdown! I'm a huge fan of Irv and he's an asset to the roster. Disappointed that they're not moving him around maybe as creatively as before outside the classic TE position and getting him on the field more. Definitely havent held his lack of production this year against him ... as you've demonstrated there's successful plays/production to be had; too bad the combo of Cousin's terrible pocket presence and mobility with the lack of interior protection this trend will likely persist.
Thank you. I noticed this last week that Irv was asked to do a lot of blocking on max protect plays because they figured Watt/Mercilus would crush them. I don't think there's reason to panic over Irv
Exactly; the fact they feel that he can positively contribute towards pass protection is only a positive for the team and his future career trajectory long term as a well rounded player. Hopefully he's a foundational piece to the next championship run puzzle.
It's the same issue over and over again. The interior o-line is inadequate. The guards consistently get beat and put Cousins under early pressure. This leads to mistakes and missed opportunities.

If that was Randy Moss it would've been a war. Great article Mathew.
Good luck on your four season porch!
