Offensive Tackle

Russell Okung- The game was rough for Okung to start, and it didn’t get much better. His pass protection was inconsistent, and he allowed multiple pressures on the game. As for his run blocking, after this game one wouldn’t guess that run blocking is his specialty. His grade: 24.6

Ty Sambrailo- The fact that Sambrailo managed to play 41 snaps before being benched is astonishing. Saying he was a revolving door is putting it nicely. Hopefully, Donald Stephenson is ready to go against the Chargers because Sambrailo shouldn’t be starting. His grade: 0.0

Michael Schofield- Schofield is the only player to receiver two grades, on for his play at right tackle, and another for right guard. His play at right tackle was mediocre, but started off as really poor. He managed to bounce back, but ever so slightly. His grade: 57.8

Offensive Guard/Center

Michael Schofeild- At right guard, Schofield looked really good. He had his bumps, but managed to bounce back from them for the most part. There were a few times were Schofield got bit by the play of those next to them, and he tried to do too much to cover for them. His grade: 71.2

More from Denver Broncos

Max Garcia- The left guard needs benched. His play was atrocious, and his worst of the season. There was no push in the run game, which for a ‘run game mauler’ is completely unacceptable. His pass blocking was poor, and he often looked outmatched, as he has all season. His grade: 0.0

Darrion Weems- When Sambrailo got benched, Weems entered the game at right guard. The offensive line play stabilized some, but they still have their issues. Few of them were because of Weems.  His grade: 78.4

Matt Paradis- The center had a down game for the second week in a row. His decisions have been questionable, like turning the opposite way when there it a blitzer is coming. Multiple instances of question choices, and poor run blocking plagued Paradis. His grade: 12.8
