Which is wild to think because at times they did look better as an overall unit compared to the last two years. The running game was non existent as well, so, the fact that we allowed the most pressures tells me this team couldn't do [BLEEP] right per usual.

1st in pressure rate allowed by a unit.
21st in yards per pass attempt.
22nd in 3rd down conversion rate as a unit.

Dead last in the most important aspect of today's pass happy era in the NFL and towards the bottom in moving the chains on the most important down in this sport. It's clear we have concerns at LT, C & RG. I don't see the point in moving Harrison in year three.

Scherff needs to go. Morse needs somebody behind him in the hopper ready to overtake him outright for the job this summer or at least be ready to go by 2026. Little has shown no history of being able to stay healthy during a full regular season.

This is why I circle back to Baalke on this subject as well. Because people are under the impression that Pederson is to blame for some of it. While I agree, to an extent. Baalke at some point has to step in and say what's better for the team based on his evaluations and not the coaches.

So, all in all.

You drafted Walker Little and traded Cam Robinson which feels like a move that should have happened two years ago.

You signed Ezra Cleveland.
You drafted Luke Fortner and failed and replaced him with Mitch Morse.
You signed an over the hill and oft injured Brand Scherff.
You let JaWaan Taylor walk and replaced him with Anton Harrison.

You traded for Cole Van Lanen awhile back, you drafted Cooper Hodges in RD7 and you drafted Javon Foster in RD4.

Just not a ton to like about this line at all. ALL of these moves, time spent and investments made with a continued DECREASE in overall play, durability and reliability as a unit. That's awful.

In fairness, Scherff was a fine signing at the time, there's no way we should've paid Taylor what he got from the chefs, and Harrison was a great prospect for the cost. The issue was the refusal to move on from Scherff, Robinson, and in some ways Fortner when it was clearly time. As a result we have big holes in those two positions in the middle. We don't know what if anything we have in Hodges and Foster yet, CVL played fine in relief this year and Hance remains the bubble "just a guy" guy. Going into next season we have Little, Cleveland, Harrison, and Foster under longer term deals; everyone else is either a free agent or on their last year. Hodges has two years left, but his contract is meaningless to the cap. It's time for fresh blood in that room with at least three new players coming in this offseason.
