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.

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.

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.

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.
