It was in the 3rd quarter with 10:45 on the clock. He bit on an inside fake by Clowney. Jimmy had to immediately step up into trouble, resulting in a sack. Bad play. The very next play, Staley stone-walled Clowney giving Jimmy almost 7 seconds in the pocket.
There were a couple other OL breakdowns that were way bigger issues than anything that can be pinned on Staley. Garland's whiff on the stunt that led to the Jimmy's first fumble. Then McGlinchy getting dominated by Clowney for the other fumble.
Overall, the OL protection was quite good. Clowney is an extremely talented pass-rusher. He was going to be disruptive. It is just unfortunate that Jimmy Garappolo couldn't protect the ball better.
Is this considered a bad play or maybe not because Coleman was there to partially block? This is the first dropback of OT. btw I love Joe and will chalk this game up to rust. He isn't prime Joe anymore but still good enough to not be playing like how he did in this MNF game.

This is a play action fake.... pretty sure Dwelly was supposed to put a hit on Clowney and then peel off. The OL's first step is supposed to sell the run in play action.
Clowney wasn't fooled though. He played the pass all the way. Obviously I don't know all the responsibilities here.... but to me this looks like a broken play. Maybe nobody on the Seattle defense was buying play-action cause we didn't run very much.
