So both NY teams OL were not supposed to be all that good.

How many teams do we play this year with strong OL that May be able to counter our pass rush?

SF and Philly. However it also depends on the release from the QB as well.
Now SF lost their top OL in FA, so how have they looked so far. Can our pass rush get to there QB for once.

Philly we keep hearing how great their OL is. And maybe they are, Teams need to gel yet. But so far from what I seen. They are not what they were from last year, yet. Can we contain Hurts and get pressure on him

So what other teams we play that have strong OL. Detroit?

Philly's oline is a bit better in run blocking, but some of that is due to the QB's ability. I hate short yardage against them.

Not only top OL but greater or Elite QB’s.

This defense looks awful dominating but surely we all want to see what it can do up against some of the best teams and QB’s.

Mike McGlinchey. But I think Trent Williams is their best offensive lineman.
McGlinchy was considered by many as the weak link on their unit last season. Many of the fans on their boards viewed him as a borderline bust. Micah hip tossing him like a sack of tators wasn’t all that unusual. The contract Denver gave him was ridiculous!

So looking at the schedule.

Maybe SF, but Purdy gets the ball out quick. However, if our secondary, and if our LB's can hold Kittle from getting open for a second longer. Can our pass rush get there.
Hurts, has been getting some pressure by lesser defenses. So we should create some issues for him.
I mentioned Detroit, but need to see more from them.

Maybe the Dolphins OL, they seem to be giving Tua time to throw.

My concern is not so much any of the other teams OL's, it is more of the mobile QB's. Jones and Wilson did more in the run game, from broken plays by not getting the sacks, then any RB so far.
Hurts will be an issue, even Howell from Washington has some wheels.
