I want to add, Hawes was dominant in blocking again,  I noticed a few runs go his way and it opened up a lane, he's a dog

He could play in the OL if required, he’s a beast

If and when Milano returns, just stick with the 4-3 and someone teach Dorian how to tackle. 3 linebackers should help Bosa's contain.  Oliver & Walker are the future of our DT's. Bishop is still very raw by gradually improving every game. Baby steps... Rapp?...for a guy who launches himself like a "friendly fire" skud, he sure misses alot of tackles. Hopefully Hoecht & Hairston can have an impact before December?

 

I'd hate to think of where this offense would be without Cook.  I was wrong and he's worth every penny. Kincaid too is turning things around from last year. The Saints game execution wasn't perfect but this team reminds me of a cat playing with a mouse before ending it.

Shaq looks good when’s he played.  I like the idea of playing 4-3 base with Shaq

I like the play of Shaq as he hits opponents very hard and has been fitting some run gaps pretty well.

 

But in space Shaq, to me, has looked extremely slow.

I thought Williams played better last year when he was filling in for Milano.  
Not that he wasn't still in the wrong place sometimes, just less of the time
 

Perhaps we were hiding him better last year, between the DL rotation and Rapp/Hamlin instead of Rapp/Bishop?

 

He just looks like the same guy to me.

Slow to read/react which makes him a step late and allows blockers to get on top of him.

Can't cover anybody so he's a liability in anything but short yardage packages.

Poor instincts/decision making on gaps, angles, passrush, etc.

By any measure I can think of, Shaq Thompson is a better option out there, imo.
