It was a sloppy game by the OL but when they weren't shooting themselves in the foot, they were playing well. They had a couple of series early in the game where they were clearly trying to find their footing and some screens/excellent plays by Mahomes and the skill position guys bailed them out. I think they'd probably tell you that as well - Schwartz did.
But as the game went along, they tightened up quite a bit. I'd still like to get some reinforcements in the middle but the cavalry isn't comin' anytime soon so this is what we'll get.
The good news is that Aaron Donald would pretty much rape ANYONE we put on the other side of him - he abuses All Pros like they're UDFA rookies. So the height of the speedbump isn't really all that relevant.

It definitely wasn't an A plus effort kind of game, but when they go put up 500 yards I'm not gonna pile on too much.
It was never really in question and in reality was just a game they needed to get thru without getting hurt.
Hopefully Watkins is ok.
