Robert Hunt is worth every penny!

National Media clowned us for our investment in the interior oline. Fug them, we’re a top ten oline in the league due to our investment.

Top *1* after yesterday’s game. In pass protection at least, I haven’t seen overall ranking, but they allowed four total pressures again yesterday and weren’t credited with a sack. I remember one was on Jatavion, I don’t remember who the others were on.

So why was Zavala in at LG in the fourth quarter?  Of course, he had a false start to remind us of the 2023 OL.  No word on a potential injury to Lewis?

Heard it was an elbow stinger.

And Hunt flexed on the guy after the play was over too. Keep Pounding.

Good.  It was good for Zavala to get some quality reps.

Zavala actually played pretty well after he settled in.

Depth on the OL is critically important

The offensive line is the biggest surprise for me this year.  I figured signing two guards wasn't going to move the needle much if we didn't have a center and Icky couldn't play.  But they are absolutely pushing people around in the run game, and doing a great job in pass protection as well.  Austin Corbett looks pretty good, but it makes me wonder if being sandwiched between 2 good guards is helping as well.

We had the perfect storm last year to screw up Bryce for good.  When Christensen and then Corbett went down, teams started stunting and blitzing through A gap.  Bryce could not read it and check down, etc.  He was bait.

Hunt seems like a fantastic addition and brings some nastiness to the line

I really hope Ickey figures it out; he seems like a great kid

Yep. I think they ruined Bryce's confidence. But you can't carry that ish into the next season. Gotta be mentally tougher than that. Andy made maybe 1 pass that Bryce can't make. But he made a dozen throws that Bryce just wouldn't take (attempt).

I don't think Bryce has NFL tools, so it's a moot point anyways.  But I think his regression this year is due to being overly concerned with the pass rush.  I can't remember which analyst mentioned it, but they said his eyes are going down way too fast this year.  That's a death knell for a QB's confidence.

Bryce doesn't have the tools to propel a squad like last season. But this team is completely different. Actually see more new names than old ones. Bryce's regression has been 100% mental. Unfortunately that was supposedly his calling card - being smart and mentally strong.

Someone asked this offseason who the best player on the roster was after Derrick Brown and my answer was this dude. Hunt is one bad, bad mofo. Huge fan.
