Twentyman: After allowing seven total pressures and three sacks between them Week 1 in Green Bay, Detroit’s young guard tandem was terrific in pass pro Sunday against the Bears, allowing just one pressure between them and a single quarterback hit by Ratledge.
“I think in particular Tate (Ratledge) and (Christian) Mahogany, as younger players, kind of were able to get last week out of the way and kind of settle in a little bit today,” Goff said after the game Sunday. “I thought Tate played great today. I haven’t seen the tape, but at least in pass pro, it felt firm there. It felt firm, he felt strong, it felt like he was pushing downhill. It felt like he really settled in.”
Mahogany and Ratledge are going to continue to get better the more reps they both get. It’s important to have a performance like the one they had Sunday. It should give them a ton of confidence moving forward.
