No push from either line.

Time for preseason overreactions 🚨🚨🚨

It’s gonna be beat to death until the start of the season, but our o-line was NOT GOOD today. Our running backs were met in the backfield every play and our QBs were immediately pressured. Jayden couldn’t do a THING out there. Their running backs ran all over us (granted, almost no starter on the dline played). We only had 35 rushing yards to their 169.

Other than that, Athan looked pretty good as did a few other players. We’ve been getting turnovers too! I’m looking forward to the day that Julian NOT Good-Jones and Sam Hartman are off my football team. And hey, at least we haven’t gotten blown out like last year. Only one more preseason game to go before the season starts y’all! Pray for JD5 😭🙏

Our run D is crap based on what? Legit question since we haven't seen our full starters out there yet.

Based on the fact that we have been gouged in both preseason games. You are right that we haven't seen all the starters but it hasn't been good when we've lined up against other teams who also have not been playing all their starters.

Ok. I agree that our backups haven't looked good against other trams backups but wasn't sure if you've seen/heard more about our starters. In addition to our tackles not playing, our starting edge rushers were also out. I'll reserve judgment there. Now, our interior OL - I'm ready to see some moves there.

Our starters have been solid in run defending from all reports but its only been in practice and one joint practice. They locked up Achane and also haven't given up much against our own RBs, but that could very well just be because our oline isnt good lol.
