Since our interior O-line sucks......

These are upper eschuland D lines especially San Fran if we are going to compete at that level. Pull up the play by play stats of the first half of run plays from the Pitt game and count all the 'No gains' we had. There was only one 11yd run.

Take off your 'homer eyes' and put on some real 'critical objective football eyes'
and go back and watch snap for snap all 3 pre-season 1st team interior O-line play and they pushed NOBODY around whatsoever but rather got pushed back a lot !!

Maybe Watkins can help maybe not, but at least it's trying to fill a need we desperately have IMO.

That's pretty knee jerk if you ask me.

We were running a lot of screens and shit and obvious run plays were obvious.

You also didn't see a lot of pulls or traps by the o-line.

Sorry, but I don't echo your sentiments about the offensive line. The only bad series that they had was the first one with the 49ers. That's it. And I certainly didn't see Hudson getting manhandled like you imply.
