If it was a quick pass, where Griffin is just supposed to release it within 3 seconds, and Polumbus didn't hold his block for even that second, does that change your opinion. Obviously, I don't have a hand timer, so only looking at the seconds that have elapsed from shot two to shot 3, but that doesn't really change my question. If the QB expects to drop set throw in 3 seconds, should a RT be able to hold a pocket that long?

Exactly what I was thinking. If it was a quick pass play climbing the pocket makes no sense. If it was a longer developing play ok, of course it makes sense for him to step up.

Looking at the routes being ran, it would appear it was a short pass play.

edit: Just noticed it was shotgun formation. Damn.

I We going to say it was shotgun but you beat me to it.

Anyways beside Polombus having no shot of stopping Watt, why is the RB not helping to double team HIM?

You had the right idea though. Robert needs to climb the pocket more. The one play I remember was the intentional grounding play. He should of stepped up in the pocket instead of running in to JJ Watt, but hindsight is always 20/20.
