You don't want it, you don't need it, but you're going to get it anyway.

The Kevin Sheehan Show, here's Kevin.

I think it's a combination of several things, and also the guys around Sam getting it.

You know, it's like we've had, I've talked about this earlier too, about those aha moments where all of a sudden because, okay, I see it, I get it. Well, you know, some of the things that we did up front with the offensive line seem to be paying off. I think getting the ball out, Sam's hands quicker, you know, creates that, that, you know, the ball's out, frustration for the defense when a guy gets the ball out early and on timing there's a little bit

of frustration it seems to develop and then overall the guy's understanding i mean you see some of

the things that we've we've been seeing from from the backs and from the tight ends that are chipping

their way out uh shoot we even got a couple snaps where we have the receivers chipping and all

understanding just how important it is and it's all kind of, I think, at the right time for us offensively.

Ron Rivera earlier today during his Wednesday presser answering the question about the offense

the last two weeks and the decreased sacks and whether or not they are due to the offensive line

changes or Howell's development.

And he said it was a combination of several things.

And he ended it there with everybody's chipping.

You know, backs, tight ends, they're chipping on their way out.

Shoot, we even got a couple of snaps where we've got receivers chipping.

And they all understand just how important it is.

It's all kind of coming together.

I think at the right time for us offensively, he said he's right.

It has come together offensively the last two weeks.

Let's see if that last two weeks, if it's an aberration,

or if they can really develop some consistency offensively,

they're going to need it Sunday because this is a much bigger test than the one they had in Foxborough this previous game.
