Underhill: Kellen Moore said he took this job with the idea that Derek Carr would be his QB

I'll give Klint and Carr credit, because they way they turned around the pass protection for Carr was night and day.

8 sacks in 10 games is pretty phenomenal while dealing with an insane amount of injuries.

They was still pressuring Carr at a 24% rate, but a lot of those were during when Eric went down..

They had something there with that scheme. Sadly, it was a house of cards.
While I agree, I think McCoy helped take a lot of the weight off Carr's shoulders. He was identifying fronts and those responsibilities were taken off Carr's plate. It's why things looked so disjointed while McCoy was out/injured.

On the flip end, I'll say that we saw a lof of those blocking schemes with TE's blocking edge rushers that failed, and miserably when it happend. It wasn't as big because Carr was getting the ball out in a timely fashion in this scheme, but the "quick game" was also something they highlighted in the off-season that they would implement to help Carr.
