Like others have mentioned our D usually craps the bed when it looks like they should dominate.
Doesn't matter who the coaches are or what team it is.
An opposing team's tattered line with beat up players and 2-3rd stringers should equal an ass kicking... nope, they only get blocked like playing world beaters.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sewell plays his best game against out team.
I wouldn't say they were dominant against Green Bay, but there is a reason GB puts up 30 burgers at will against just about every NFL team. They were held to 22 points in regulation and Rogers was sacked twice. That game isn't on the defense. Not saying that you said it was, but they had a really good game against Green Bay. Before everyone throws out the stats about Adams and a 100 yard rusher, Adams was targeted something ridiculous like 16 times and their RB had next to nothing outside that one long run where Bell missed the tackle in the hole (but amazingly, was the one that tackled him way downfield.....talk about not giving up on a play).
Sewell will likely end up a really solid OT, but it was the "next Anthony Munoz" crap that drove me nuts. He played in a quick-read offense in the Pac 12 that isn't really known for their edge rushing talent.
I still want Daniel Faalele from Minnesota to be our RT. That man is so massive it is ridiculous. He eclipses the entire side of the line and never goes backward (or gets stalemated) in the run game. Spencer Brown was the guy I really wanted in the 3rd, but Ossai looks to be a stud if he can stay healthy. Damn, can you imagine what this defense would be doing if he was?
