Someone who knows online play much better than me... please tell me if I'm wrong.

He was not at all the problem today... at least not in the pass game.

Looks to me like a guy who was taking care of business.. and someone I'd be happy to have in that spot.

I agree although I have to rewatch it to assess. It always blows me away how some of our Ram family can assess that in real-time.
 
I don't know, man. We'll see. He whiffed on some run blocks early and obviously gave up a sack late (before I turned it off). McVay focused the offense today on protecting the OL, so I'm not sure how much stock we can put into it. At a minimum, he seems like a good backup OL.

Agreed. Bosa utterly destroyed him on that late sack. Little early to say much about him due to quick pass stuff Mcvay has been forced to run. I mean he's better then a few backups we have thrown in the fire like Kolone and our boy Evans, but that isn't saying much.

I'm tempted to rewatch the game to see how the individual Olineman played but don't think I can stomach the shitshow again.

Bosa's one of the best in the business. He is of course going to win vs a young LT.

But notice that Bosa was lining up other than LT too. He wasn't feasting on Jackson like he did with Boom. Jackson has the lead in his ass to handle the power rush.

C'mon Texas, I for one would look forward to reading your analysis on the O line play.
I know it'll be painful but sometimes ya gotta take one for the team!!

Jackson looked stronger, quicker & more alert than Boom, from what I watched.

One sack against Bosa? In your first start?

I have zero issue with that.

We’ll see if he grows… but I’m optimistic.

Yea and while I know a sacks a sack the Rams all had just been deflated basically a souls crushing sack but it's Bosa dumb as he is he is a great player I can live with that in your 1st start with a team that destroys us. That can improve with we experience.

PFF grades had Hav, Allen, Aboushi top 3 linemen yesterday.

I like Alaric though he was 4th and you know who came in last! What is keeping Evans on the team??? Because the so-called experience over the others really isn't a factor with such a low score.

Y'know... I usually check the PFF stuff and it usually kind of reinforces what I think I saw...

But.. yesterday? I did not think the right side of the line had a good day. I must be just missing stuff.. because the right side actually looked pretty lame a few times.

Yeah and PFF mixes run blocking and pass blocking, win %, loss % and other who knows what factors. So maybe Evans is worse vs run than pass, but both still not good enough.

I'm not really trying to defend Evans... I'm more baffled by the high grades Hav and Aboushi got. I wasn't impressed.

Maybe Evans is just a black hole that destroys the entire line.

According to PFF Hav allowed 2 pressures 0 sacks and Aobushi allowed 0 pressures. But we saw how the running game went... so yeah, same old problems.

And to correct myself Evans had a pass block grade of 15.5, so he was slightly better in the run game. 15.5! I wonder what a 0 grade consists of.

For his first start against San Francisco's defensive line.

Not too shabby.

I was watching Alairic Jackson at every hike until the play developed and particularly in the replays.

Evans actually provided us with a boost in the run game on a few of the long runs he was still up field hitting 49ers.
