Agreed. But there are ways to minimize this:

Coaches need to get through to Howell and have him make smarter decisions with the ball. He needs to stop holding on to the ball and know when to get rid of it.

He also needs to protect himself. He had a long run in the first half and pretty much got crunched instead of sliding and protecting himself. He's going to get killed if he doesn't learn to how slide and protect himself on those scrambles.

EB needs to adjust his game plan and focus on the run. Having B. Rob play 20 snaps and only running the ball 5 times in the first half is unacceptable. I also think they need to start getting Rodriguez more involved, given Gibson's fumble problems.

Some of those sacks were also caused by blown assignments like BRob not blocking the end rushing. Need to clean up and Wylie needs to do his job instead of talking about it.

It's coaching, poor ability of identifying personnel (which can also fall under the "coaching category"), and Howell holding onto the ball too long.

The first one can help mitigate the latter two with better game planning and being aware of your current personnel.
