Yep, a huge drop off from Kerry Hyder. Kinlaw is also invisible as a pass rusher.

I will say I thought Ebukam got held on one of those last 2 throws right in front of Rodgers.

He absolutely got tackled. You call every ticky tack PI in the game but a blatant hold right in front of you where a guy gets tackled and it's not holding?

Major drop off. Hyder was an every down player. Ebukam is a specialist who can't do anything special. Looks like we have Bosa and nothing else.

He's hurt for Seattle anyway.
It was only a strength relative to other position groups on the team and to us Zoners who repeat these names over again and convince ourselves we have 9 stars on the DL when we have maybe one.
AA is not sudden at all. Just big.

Two years ago the defensive line didn't even allow Rodgers to even look down the field in the two games. The line would have had zero sacks in flag football tonight. It's remarkable how far this unit has fallen since 2019. And this was supposed to be the strength of the team.

I wonder what's missing from 2019? It's not like we had an all pro interior lineman

Cool but that doesn't change that fact that Ebukam to this point has been trash.

And constantly overruns plays or loses contain.
pass rush was ass

what a disappointment
Bosa and a bunch of scraps. Hopefully Jordan Willis can help us
Demeco is going to be sick watching the tape. On the last two throws, the Packers chip both Nick Bosa AND Dee Ford. That's 2 guys shortening their routes into the field, yet Davante Adams still got open. Also, if Armstead fires off the ball on time, there's a good chance he ends the game.

Man, AA again is just so slow off the snap. Almost every play

Armstead was downright unblockable that year. He reminded me of that contract season Stubblefield had in 1997. Buckner anchored that line like a boss. Even role players like Jones, Day, and Thomas contributed in limited capacity. This unit hasn't shown any of those signs yet.
Ebukam, Key and Ford even play against their depleted OL?

From the TV angle, I have no idea how they didn't throw a flag here. Ebukam gets literally hooked into the ground. But maybe it'll look different when we see the all-22.
