Offensive Line

Honestly they did a lot better than I expected, but Sam Darnold and CMC made them look better than the numbers indicate. They gave up 11 pressures but luckily Sam released the ball quickly and only gave up 1 sack as a result.

Pat Elflein gave up 4 pressures himself.  

It’s hard to expect a high powered consistent  offensive production if the offensive line doesn’t improve

Pat has got to go as a starter. One thing that did stand out today as well, and they mentioned it on the radio after show, our short yardage push is a big red flag. Every time when we needed it, we failed. This is a trend from the Steelers pre season game, so I hope it does not continue. 11 pressures is still concerning against better teams it may get ugly.
 

With that being said, I was at the game today, and fugging happy that we beat the breaks off the Jets to get opening day win. Side note……when was the last time we one the first game at home? Dallas?)

    • Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.
    • The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter. 
    • Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
