Arent AA and Dee Ford getting a combined $33M this year? It's ridiculous how little value we get out of our cap on these two.

Just looked it up. Fords deal averages $14m per year and Armsteads is $17m per year. So $31m for the two of them.

Oh that. That makes me feel much better
Completely forgot about Ford. Didn't even see him on the field

Bosa gets doubled, held, and chipped all game, and the rest of the DL gets no pressure. I don't get it.

Hopefully Willis will help but that's not until after the bye week. We should get Hurst back next week.

Kinlaw needs to step the f**k up. I have no idea how this dude is just flying under the radar around here. He was the 14th overall pick and was getting his ass kicked tonight by a guard that was drafted in the 6th round.

He is nowhere near 100%. I won't deem him 100% until I hear that he was a full go in practice.

Which will never happen. They will be managing his knee for swelling all year
We could have had Bosa rushing next to DeFo for the next decade but no, we decided it was better to have AA and Ward. And then we replace DeFo with a DT who has chronic knees issues and looks better doing everything other (intercept a pass & block a kick) then what he is supposed to primarily do like stop the run and generate a pass rush. Oh and Ebukam looks like he has no plan when rushing the passer. Hustle guy that just runs right into the offensive linemen. At least Ford hasn't jumped offsides yet.
Pass rush was not addressed in the off-season like some of us suggested. There were some vet players that would have been contributing. Samson has not been it.

What's happened to our big F/A signing Ebukam?

If we had only won the SB on 2019

Ebukam tries really hard and is a high-effort guy, but he's not a pass rusher. The dude reminds me a bit of Solomon Thomas lol.

This says it all. Ebukam has zero pass rush skills.
