Another impact is that if they are sliding protection to the right every time the opposite side pash rush has a much easier time. On Nwosu's hit of Fitz he has an inside rip with the LT on an island. If they had slid protection left, he would have gone straight into a G.
Staley also had multiple play calls last year where he used the line shift toward Donald to get a free rusher on the NB blitz. We haven't showed that yet, but it's there. Bosa dominates protection calls just like Donald does, so the same concepts apply.
Our opposite side EDGE players do need to do better with all this space. Getting Tillery on a stunt with Fackrell crashing should also be there and maybe get him some momentum.
