All the objective stats from 2019 showed that Hart was a well above average pass blocker that would not be easy to replace. Fans here just continued to hate on him for his 2018 performance. I remember when Andre Smith was a favorite message board whipping boy even after he started to play at a very high level
From what I see our O-line's biggest failure is picking up stunts and blitzes. They seem to fail more at assignment than being beaten one-on-one. Hart and all the rest of them have looked bad this year. But remember when everyone was gushing about Spain not allowing a sack in years. Then he comes here and blows an assignment on the play that got Jonah Williams injured.
I don't rate Hart and never have as you said based on previous performance...but i was thinking at half time I will give him some credit as I didn't hear his name at all and it feels like he has been better this year
The right side generally was holding up much better than the left side where Jordan and Williams were just getting beaten - some of that was not just missing assignments.
Then Hart, Spain had that miscommunication and let a guy have a clear run on the QB and from that point on it just fell apart.
It feels so broken despite them trying different combo's, bringing/drafting different players so that has to be on Turner primarily.
