Just for conversation... rookie OL!

We know that the deafening crowd noise in Seattle is their twelfth man on defense, and causes many a snap count and line call to go unheard. Things can turn ugly very quickly in that environment even for seasoned O linemen. That being said, how do you think Mike Iupati and Anthony Davis will hold up in their first career start. Will they be overwhelmed by stunts and blitz packages and look overmatched? Will they show why they were drafted so high in the first round by showing flashes of dominance. Or will they look very good at times and very "rookie" at others and get a mixed review? Personally I think both of them will raise some eyebrows around the league with their solid play early in the season!

all of the above.

they will do all of those things in one game, easily.

not sure how they will do

but i’m not sure it matters a lot. the 49ers should beat the seahawks anyway, and it will be great preparation for week 2 and beyond.

When life gives you fruit, add a bunch of sugar to it.

Mixed

I expect a lot of blitzes at them.

I bet we get at least one false start from Davis

There will probably be a few mistakes, some missed blocks, some holds. Overall I think they will do pretty good, mainly because I’m not that impressed by the Seahawks D-line. But I think there will definitely be some “rookie moments” to frustrate all the faithful.

I'm a little concerned

It was against the Seahawks that Alex’s shoulder was injured a few years ago. With two rookies and our non regular center in there, I’m hoping he is protected.
