There’s zero question in my mind that Aaron’s decreased mobility was a part of that.. call it forced errors or whatever you want to name it.  I also believe he was playing a just a few % shy of his previous collarbone injury arm strength. Combine that with the gimpy knee and it’s a recipe for error.IMO the biggest factor of the roughly 30 additional sideline throws was injury recovery (both mental and physical) on the part of the QB. That was also accompanied by his obvious reluctance to throw to guys he hadn’t fully gained trust AND there were some moderate degree of not coming back to finish the play.I expect... 1. the combination of Aarons improved to full recovery. 2. the experience gained in the rookie year of the WR group and 3. just the overall awareness of the issue (addressing WR schematic/coaching adjustments) making it a focus to reduce those missed opportunities... the solution. We’re obviously not the only ones who are discussing this and I am fully confident we see a dramatic reduction in throwaways this season. Spending resources on improving our OL and a more seasoned WR/RB/TE group will make us better by default.</blockquote>
