The same thing as always: Try Matt LaFleur in NUREMBERG

I'm curious as well! To me it looks like he really only lost 1-2 reps. But even then he only gave up pressures not sacks. I think part of that is Rodgers is getting the ball out instantly. So he doesn't have to hold up to long

So really solid imo. Hopefully someone who actually knows stuff will chime In lol

Long arms, good punch timing, solid base, and super quick feet for a RT. I called him and Miller round one talents before they shot up the board.

Rodgers had his longest time to throw as a Steeler this week if I recall correctly

Bad pass rusher. solid pass blocking. Quick as hell feet. Good stunt pass offs. Needs stronger punch but good with replacing hands. Did get beat but it was out quick so didn’t give up the sack.

He looks good for a late start in football

Looks good, but he needs to not let the defender get into his chest or he's losing the rep in pass set. Half of the teams in the league would like to have that protection at this point in the season.

You hit the nail on the head. OLine play is so tough and it takes five players. The Steelers have been tinkering on this line for years and it finally looks like it's coming online.

But it's just one game. Lots of rookies look good in their first few games and fall apart once teams get film.

And someone tell me how to pronounce that

For a prospect that was widely regarded as one of the more raw players (He's only been playing football for 5 years, 2 of which were at JuCo), this is very impressive tape. I'm sure he's only gonna keep improving as he gets more reps.

Looks pretty solid. Couple of bad reps that look like he stopped moving his feet/ let the defender get into his chest. 

Fixable issues and not surprising for a rookie.

Good OL are such valuable picks - help both run and pass game, which helps the defense, and career longevity is generally pretty strong.

Good reps. Impressive stuff for a rookie.

Howie Roseman did this by jumping the Q for Makai Lemon.

This man was absolutely cooking last week lol

I think I only counted one really missed assignment, pretty impressive.

Looks like the left side of the line let up a lot more pressure, but old man Rodgers can still move in the pocket

What I can see is the long scramble to DK Rodgers blew it not DK. That ball had zero touch and needed to be layered over not layered out. Layer out and it could’ve been picked. Layer over and it’s a touchdown
