I thought arm length could be an issue as well. However, Slater did a great job for us yesterday. So maybe this is one of those instances where despite there being a small deficiency versus what is ideal in one area, Slater is so good in other areas that he more than makes up for the much discussed arm length deficiency.

JH10 said that he had time to push the ball downfield that is why Ekeler didn’t get chech downs.
I almost can’t wrap my head around what that statement means. Quality, above average, even spectacular pass protection for an entire game.

The team still needs to generate more pressure. We saw how bad it was without Bosa last year. The coaches really need to do something about helping Bosa out and for him to be healthy. This was a problem with the previous coaching staff. Staley and Hill need to right the wrongs under Lynn and Bradley.
Nwosu is inconsistent. There are games where he'll show up, and then other times he disappears. He's too on and off
We need contributions from the other edge rushers. The coaches need to use Rumph more. It's his time to shine. Fackrell has been around the block, I expect more from him.
Middle of the D-line, the interior, still has more to be desired. Lack of pass rush there has been this team's problem for a long time now. The team needs something out of the interior unit; Tillery, Jones, Covington, and whoever else the coaches put to rush the passer there.
Nwosu is inconsistent, but also talented. He has a knack for making big plays and I suspect that he will get more consistent with more regular playing time. Fackrell is more consistent, but lack's Nwosu's top end game. Rumph needs to be developed. Right now, he is an obvious pass rush situation only player as he lacks stoutness in the running game. Also, he is not a better pass rusher than Nwosu at this point.
We play a base 3-4. The middle of a 3-4 DL is the NT. That position is hardly ever going to be filled by a player with great pass rushing ability. Players like Joseph fill that position (i.e., the biggest, most stout player on the roster). In other formations, sure, we could benefit from a better interior DL pass rush, but there are not a whole lot of top end interior DL pass rushers throughout the league.

No wonder Pip's development is so stunted...a possible excuse here, but the true test will be how well he does later this season...

Give some examples of when it did? It's pretty much about contracts.
I believe we got a 4th for Micheal Turner and his 34 mil contract and that was 12-13 years ago and was a good contract.
He was second in the league rushing with 1699 yards and I think they went to the playoffs.
Tyrods 5.5 mil won't get us but a 5th. Hec I'd be surprised at a 5th..

In yesterday's game the backs often stayed home to help pass protect. It was the game plan for a very good front. It won't be the game plan very often I would guess.
