Pass blocking

[leonardfan40]

This line today was nowhere near as bad as last year. Last year was a talent issue. Today was not. Hopkins looked bad but the rest of the line was solid. Last year we only had one solid lineman any given day if that.

This was scheme/good defensive timing/and Hopkins getting owned. Not the whole line. You can fix the issues today assuming Hopkins improves as he comes back into form. The issues last year were both coaching and talent. Those weren’t getting fixed.

This was week one with a new coach and players and guys coming back from injury. Take a breath and give them a little time. I really did not see anything concerning from the line today except Hopkins who we all know is capable of playing better so expecting improvement from him is not unrealistic.
