I posted this several days ago, but when you break down the 1st string Oline even in game 1 against the Boys, it did very well.
There was one glaring error by Brown that got Gurley stuffed, but that's about it.
Against Oakland they were downright dominant. Sure Mack got the sack but it wasn't on the oline. Everett and Higbee were double teaming Mack and he split them and made the play.
I'm saying right now that this starting Oline is so far superior to anything we've seen around here in years that it is encouraging. We also have better depth than some think. I've been a Williams fan from the day they picked him up. He could develop into a replacement for Whit at LT in a couple more years. Eldrencamp has done well at all 3 spots they've lined him up: both Guard spots and Center. And Blythe greatly improved from week 1 to week 2. Sullivan is just really good (I didn't realize he was that good) and Saffold looks better than I've seen him in a long time. The Left side is darn tough; and Brown and Havs are starting to get it together. The big thing is that Brown is coming off the ball quicker and that makes such a huge difference. Havs and Brown are handling stunts so much better too. Dude is the dancing bear; big guy who can move better than you think. If they can just stay reasonably healthy, they are going to be a solid "B" oline at worst.
I'm still concerned by TE blocking; frankly they've looked like crap. The only guy I'd trust blocking right now is Harkey.
