After this series, Washington moved Young to the other side of the formation. He did not rush against Slater again until the final drive of the game. It is unclear if this was planned, or if Slater dictated this change because of his play. Sweat, whose arms are almost two inches longer than Young’s, moved to Slater’s side after the first quarter and stayed there until late in the fourth quarter.

It did not matter.

Sweat was trying to use his 35.75-inch arms to get separation against Slater. At least five times, he appeared to commit an illegal hands to the face penalty. The refs did not call any of those apparent penalties. Sweat did not win any of the rushes.

The Athletic has the best sports content I've seen. Worth the sub if you can afford it.

Here is film with Montez Sweat, and his long arms on our short-armed rookie OLT's throat. Slater was hanging tough, with great balance and lower body strength.

Meanwhile, a big play by LAC was negated by a bogus Hands to the Face penalty against Oboushi.

Slater is so, so impressive. Let's see how he handles speed vs Randy Gregory, et al.

Gregory probably not playing with COVID and Lawrence out with a foot injury. Slater shouldn’t have much of a challenge this week as long as he plays like last week.

Do you doubt Rashawn's consistency ?

I do not, one of many reasons I expect us to win.

We are gonna match up well.
I like our weapons vs their coverage personnel.
However the possibility of Dak, Zeke, CeeDee and Amari boat racing us must not be taken lightly.

Girls have a great to elite offense but we have defenders that can matchup and get stops. I expect us to turn Dak/girls over a couple/3 times and to keep them under 25 points.

Could you imagine how bad we would have been so far if we had contract delays or problems that held him up from being available to us...I don't even want to think about it!
