Abe Lucas's return and the O-line

[toffee]

Lucas was our best tackle in his rookie year, in yesterday's game, he was still the better tackle.

True, but Bosa was dealing with injury himself and took himself out of the game. From what I recall, Bosa only got around Abe one time for a QB hit.

Bosa got a new injury during the game because Abe man handled his ass.
I'm happy somebody took it to Bosa finally!

On the other side, Cross's butt hit the turf a few times.

Yea...Cross is good until he gets off balance, which more often than I'd expect.

In his first game back, Abe Lucas was already the best offensive lineman on the field yesterday. He got a pass block grade of 73.4 and a run block grade of 79.0. Olu has a pretty impressive run blocking grade for the day. You can see the sharp drop-off with Jerrell on pass blocking. (His high run block grade is misleading due to the small sample size.)

The numbers look good. Let's build on that. In this game I saw blockers engaged with d lineman. If we can get the same out there for the rest of the year working

Bosa came into the game with a hip pointer injury.

I love watching Lucas block. He is truly a master technician. I’ve always thought he’s better than Cross or Wright (both drafted #9 in first round).

Re Ole's pass blocking grade in this thread. Strange, I saw a tweet today where ESPN gave him a pass blocking win on 27/28 plays

Now he also has an oblique injury.

Yes, I saw that, too. I think these grading systems are a bit subjective or maybe just difficult to apply.

Love Lucas so hope he can stay healthy. Could be massive moving forward.

His sack was a result of Charbs missing Bosa and blocking Lucas instead.

In charbs defense, he hasn’t been used to anyone blocking on the right side all season so he must have just been confused.
