6 pressures isn't so great but zero sacks allowed in 60 pass attempts and everyone here quotes PFF as an important source. So anyway just wanted to point that out.
But to clarify I'm fine with Chase and pleased to see he has been playing well.
Had we drafted Sewell, he'd be our starting tackle on either left or right. Meaning Reiff or Jonah (more likely Reiff) would've kicked inside and helped our interior issues we're currently struggling with.
Yes, Chase is playing great. I don't think anyone doubted that in April. But most of the pro-Sewell side saw the current line struggled coming a mile away. Hopefully our prize QB makes it long enough to eventually take full advantage of these great receivers.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
