OL got one, lets show the other big uglies some love. A couple good performances from some of our back ups. I think Day is a solid DT rotation player, then with Sully, AA, Taylor, DJ, i think the interior looks good playing alongside Buckner. The DEs looks like the biggest issue, the backs up at least. They looked terrible against Cowboys 1st team OL. Hopefully we dont stay in house and pick up a rotational pass rusher who can do some damage. Valoaga looked pretty good against back ups, but any decent pass rusher can dominate 3rd string OL.

The young guys are facing a lot of adversity out there and they are consistently rising to the occasion. That bodes well for the future.

From Next Gen Stats: Michael Penix Jr. did not complete a single one of his 9 passes under pressure in Week 7 against the 49ers, the most such pass attempts in a game without a completion by any quarterback since 2023 (Sam Howell, 11).

Penix was pressured 11 times on 42…

Run defense is so much better. The pass rush leaves some to be desired, but that's to bew expected with losing Bosa. It is nice to see our defensive line not getting blown out of the trenches.

Defensive line is impressive to me right now. Falcons are one of the best rushing attacks we're going to see all season and they shut Robinson down for the most part. The pass rush was better than I was expecting too. Overall I think the entire defense has been really good considering the pieces they're missing - Saleh and Kocurek are worth every penny.

Yup, It also helps when you invest 3 high draft picks to the unit.

Yeah, and the rookies are playing really well. I think the team can go really far without any star players (other than arguably Lenoir) because Saleh has everyone on defense playing better than JAGs.

I know a lot of people are already looking at Houston as a win but I'm scared we simply don't have the pass rush to make Stroud uncomfortable and he's got enough talent and weapons that if he's not rushing throws that he can pick us apart.

Just sucks that every time we take a step forward it feels like we take a step back after the game. Even more frustrating knowing what this team could've been if we stayed healthy all year long.

Saleh will be dialing up blitzes all game; he won't just let Stroud stand back there comfortably.

Although I expect a win, it won't be easy and I expect it to be a grinder that could go either way depending on who makes more plays.

There are no easy games for us.

We are missing too many players.
