The only person on the OL who looked solid against Chicago was Spain. Williams got beat, Hopkins struggled, Reiff got beat and XSF looked bad.

I’m not sure Trey Hill would be worse than Hopkins right now though…

I can’t be too upset with Hop, I think we all know he came back too soon from an ACl. Filo was the weak link today. Cant keep trotting him out if he can’t pick up the right guy

Weak link implies only one was a problem. 4 out of 5 sucked yesterday.

I thought Spain played pretty well in pass protection, so I’m glad to see the numbers back that up. The other 4 were pretty bad.

I didn't think Mixon had a great game by any stretch but that doesn't mean he sucks.  Play design was boring and predictable.  REALLY predictable.  

And why was it always out of 11 personnel?  Dumb.  But that is  hardly Mixon's fault.

Yeah, but you can’t change the entire line. You have to assume that Reiff will play better and Williams too. Hope Hop comes around. Think Filo has been bad both games and Carmen brings more to the table

*Carman

And XSF was fine week one. But he was brutal yesterday. We’ll see though. If Pollack thinks there needs to be a change I’m all for it.

Oof. I don’t even know who our RB coach is, but I know what he needs to be focusing on in that room…

Sample and Perrine are dead weight.
Both are contributing nothing.
I noticed CJ playing in the FB spot and
Not Sample.
