    Shaq had 1 sack and 6 QB pressures. Looks like he's rounding into shape well.

    in any case, he sucks. . . we may be stuck with him, though. . . we sure as hell don't have any quality options to replace him internally. . . i love the idea of a trade as much as anyone, but freakin' everyone needs more decent O-tackles-- it's not like there are a lot of usable ones available, and anybody who does happen to have one is going to ask a premium when guys like russell ocrap and andrew whitworth's corpse got paid like they did this past off-season. . . hell, we got a 5th for samfrailo, and i don't think he can play at all. . . what's it's gonna cost for a guy who's an upgrade from watson?

    it's a total seller's market, even for dudes who are way over the hill, or just plain not very good. . . which is why i'd be totally cool with them going back for another OT with our first pick next year. . . it's getting so tough to find legitimately good linemen-- they're worth their weight in gold in today's NFL. . . i hope to hell they can get bowles' pass pro cleaned up, because you gotta love his mentality. . .

    Not ballet slippers, ice skates. Slippers don't slide backward as easily as Watson did. He's got skate blades on his cleats.

    Watson was owned during the preseason and that trend continued in game 1. Rock solid run blocker but HUGE liability on pass protection.

    Ingram and bosa are top shelf rushers, lets see what happens when a lesser DE comes at Watson. Bad coaching decision to not chip on his side. Bolles did great for 1st official start.

    I forgot where in these threads, but one of our regulars quoted a commentator (Polumbus?) saying they DID give Watson some help chipping: It just did no good.
    Oh, valid point. I thought you meant all starters, you should take the time to be more descriptive, don't be shy. Jaded

    Never confuse frustrated candor and disloyal malice.

    I watched the same game Polumbus did. They gave him help in the first half, but not much at all in the second.

    Man, so glad they drafted Bolles instead of paying him.
    *The statements above are my opinions, unless they are links, because then they are links, which wouldn't make them my opinions, and I suppose stats aren't necessarily opinion, but they are certainly presented to support an opinion. Proceed accordingly.

    Indeed. I thought he did an exceptional job against Bosa.
