I saw Lawson was rated high and they know 100% more than me, but I saw the LT stuff Lawson (right in my area where I was seated), not once, but twice throwing him to the ground. His strength on those plays was not impressive, but it was their 1st string LT.

The  jury is still out on our OL, but Hopkins looked good, Boling looked good, Bodine looked good (sorry haters of Bodine) and Fisher looked good as well. Ced missed a few blocks, but overall he looked better (I know he sucked in 2016) showing improvement with power (no one powered him backwards into the QB like a year ago) and his run blocking was strong at the point of attack, but did whiff on one run block too.

Their starting tackle (Donovan Smith) looked great.  He was tossing MJ around like he was a paper doll, had great feet and did not get fooled by spin moves.   Love to have him.

Bodine had one bad play where he got destroyed by the DLineman - but was pretty good the rest of his snaps.

Og got destroyed twice by Spense, but otherwise was really pretty good.  A big improvement.
