    Reasons that it will likely improve.

    1. We don't face the Steelers and Texans on the road at all the rest of the season. He's liable to find facing most of the defenses he will face the rest of the way easy by comparison.

    2. We have a new TE, and 3 new O-Lineman on offense. One is a rookie. they have played 2 games together thus far.

    3. Locker hasn't even started a full season's worth of games yet. He will improve at least somewhat as the season goes on.

    4. Locker's biggest issue is getting nervous when the D blitzes. This is perhaps the most correctable problem a young QB can have. Experience and confidence in his improving O-Line should take care of that.

    LeSean McCoy, Doug Martin, AP, McFadden, Ben Tate, Deangelo Williams, Alfred Morris, CJ Spiller, Forte, Arian Foster, Jamaal Charles, James Starks, Mendenhall, Knowshawn Moreno, Reggie Bush, Demarco Murray, Ryan Matthews, Trent Richardson, Daryl Richardson, Fred Jackson, Ahmad Bradshaw, Steven jackson are all having better seasons so far.

    CJ is having a season right up there with Bilal Powell.

    You think facing 2 of the best run defenses in the league and having a new TE and 3 new lineman might have played a role in that Alex? lol

    How nice it is for a RB to have not had to face the Steelers and Texans when being evaluated after the first 2 weeks!

    I don't know if they are truly the 2 "Best" run defenses in the league. I mean, they probably are since they each got to play the Titans and crappy CJ, but are they really the best??

    And no, it shouldn't matter, that's what pre-season was for.

    The Steelers are #1 against the run pretty much every year.

    Perhaps, like I said it was a bad throw, Locker has no excuses on that one.

    Giovani Bernard made that "tough" Steeler run D look like chop suey on several occasions..

    Something would be wrong if Alex didn't complain about CJ

    The guy is playing well, its 2 linemen and our receivers I have beef with.
