Russ is off. You can tell Bevell is trying to compensate for it using all the tricks and short-gain tactics to try to get him some momentum. The play calls after the first series reminded me or Russ's rookie year.
Hopefully he settles down a bit, as the line improves incrementally. San Fran's defensive line is super talented, but Seattle's protection did make them look better than they are.
Glowinski is routinely, putting-Russ-in-harm's-way overmatched. I was an advocate of his for a while. I'd put Aboushi in there. Now.
Until yesterday I'd have been opposed to your thinking that but Wilson is off. He doesn't trust his OLine with good cause and is missing throws he usually makes. The several drops by Prosise and McEvoy disn't help his confidence. The whole situation has him not trusting what he sees and he is double clutching. A good example was that short pass to Graham in the left flat. It is a classic example of him overthinking, RW bootlegs left fakes the pass to Graham which pulls the coverage towards Graham and then dumps it off to him ensuring a 2-3 yard gain when the play would have gained more had the double clutch not happened. There were others as he overthinks. Credit him reacting and making a tough instinctive throw to Richardson for the season's first TD. Sadly that high was replaced with more dis pair after extra point was missed.
That was a simply horrible show by the OLine and both Glowinski and Odhiambo were worse than useless. I'm certain now that Glowinski should be replaced and Odhiambo is showing he isn't a Tackle. I don't know what Coach Cable is seeing in these two but what they are showing during games is ugly. Nobody is gaining any confidence with the play being shown by these two. :177692: On a positive note Ifedi showed improvement, Britt played well, but Joeckel was nothing special at anything. He looks to not be strong enough to play G. I think he should move to LT and Odhiambo move to LG or be simply sat down.
That was such an awful show on O today that the bright spots of the RO beginning to work again and Carson creating holes for himself when the OLine wasn't able to do so were taken away by repeated QB pressures, hurries, sacks and resulting missed passes and drops. The O was forced to shift gears to allow it to work at all in the second half. Until that happened there for me was sense that the team was going to lose this game to a team that wasn't better than them. The OC kept going away from the TE passes that showed positive gains and I could not see any reason why.
That was vey ugly. To me though there were a few things that the team can work with and glimmers of improvement in the running game.
