We'll need all the pass rush we can get for this one if we want to win. Gotta make it uncomfortable for Stafford or he's going to light up our secondary.

Lol it's like we are right back to where we left off last year..

And somehow our Oline is worse.

Not true. TW, McKivitz, and Brendel are the same as last year. Puni is healthier this year than last. LG is still a question mark but that doesn't make the OL worse than last year. If anything, Puni's health makes it a bit better.

After last years results with all of those injuries, I wouldn't count these guys out until we see them in action.

He was fighting for his life out there to set the edge and doing solid job the few times I focused on him. He's going to play a lot more base down snaps than expected due to the lack of depth at edge. Not great for his pass rush because he's going to be exerting so much energy on base downs, but it is what it is.

I defer to you on all things Dline but I thought he came close on some pass rush reps in the second half.

he had some close ones.

Saw him get sucked inside a few times too.

All part of the process.

Yup, he had some good reps and got very close at times.

he beat his man on a long puka completion, stafford was just able to let it go half a second before. still a bit too many knockdowns for my liking, but at least hes had some flashes

was he a victim of a lot of those double teams while engaged and pushed to the ground by another OL?

Height does not belong on running downs. He was gets washed and pushed around. I felt bad for the guy.

They have no choice. There aren't enough bodies, and you need to give Bosa a breather. Don't forget he missed camp. You don't want to risk aggravating anything on Bosa.

It sucks for Romello Height because he's not built to do it, and the same thing that happened to Bryce Huff last year could happen to Romello where his legs get heavier with each passing week and his get off starts withering.

We'll be okay, man. Nothing is ever perfect. Once Williams is back, things should start to normalize. And maybe we sign someone before then. Keion played pretty well too. Let's just hope we enjoy some good health from here on out.

Getting Mykel back will be massive.

Too bad we can't fuse Mykel and Romello into one player. Mykel's size, length and strength with Romello's get off, speed, and bend would be one sweet player.

Hopefully they can develop or sign some depth to rest our DE's. Huff was a UDFA originally and hopefully they can find a similar gem. As for Height - he shows some promise. We'll know more as the year wears on. But so far, he's not looking like Drake Jackson in my eyes.

If this game taught me anything is that we need Mykel Williams back.
