I've been thinking about the injuries list, particularly the OL. I haven't done any kind of statistical analysis, but just some hunches.
It seems to me that of the three QB's that have played a lot for us in the Harbuagh/Shaw era, Luck, Hogan and Costello, Costello is the least mobile, doesn't seem to scramble as much etc. I'm wondering if this has some sort of correlation with the number of OL injuries we've had. For example, if our guys need to be able to hold the pocket longer because they know KJ isn't going to scramble, is that causing injuries?
Another issue I wonder about is the run/pass mix. We've been throwing more with Costello - do pass plays result in more OL injuries?
Would value feedback from others, particularly if you have some stats to back it up.
