Look at that picture on the 'Zone's Home page right now...Bosa looks like he's in the process of getting choked by maybe the Rams' Whitworth! More of that to come from this DL against opposing OLs.

They should call this defensive line "the legendary Hot Boys"
Kwon should let them have it!

This DL should definitely have some kind of nickname.

Thinking of that old movie, there were gunslingers, knife guys, bare fist guys, all sorts. Just like our magnificent 7.

Better yet, go with the true masterpiece - Seven Samurai.

You know what I love about this DL is almost every guy can play any spot on the DL in this system.

Both are pretty good.

Our secondary is starting to get noticed. If Ward can keep it up we'll ne a bunch of names.
I like the way Saleh made a correction and the D line adjusted perfectly after the Ram's first drive. It looked like McVey might have sussed the D out but the instant adjustment contained them. It was subtle but beautiful in its plan and execution. Good to see such versatility from the D line guys. It give me hope they will be able to contain some of the better offenses we will meet this year.

It's comedy when offenses think they can block Bosa/AA with a tight end.
Anyone know the total snap count for our defense over the last three weeks? It feels very, very low

Buckner has the most and he only averages 37 snaps a game. This is a very very fresh DL which is why short weeks and travel have no effect on them.
EVERYBODY EATS

The Dline needs to get the running game in check early against one of the best rbs in the game rn. Let's not let him gash us early to start the game! If we keep their rb in check our chances of winning probably double.
