Well my eyes saw him shoot some gaps and get penetrations, but they also saw Raji handled quite effectively with one on one blocking. He's a long way from becoming a dominant player.

The Raji watch is going well. He's currently ranked 6th at his position of players with 25% of snaps played and has a +5.0 rating.

I think something folks need to realize is that no player is going to win every snap.

As perhaps Raji's biggest detractor, I will give him guarded praise for his performance last night. He came out early in the game with energy and actually did exhibit something resembling dominance. It didn't last for the whole game; Into the second quarter and more so in the third quarter, he and the rest of the D Line were getting pushed around some, although not quite as bad as in the past. Then at crunch time, they snapped out of it and showed some toughness again, although I don't recall seeing much from Raji late in the game. It was Daniels dominance and to a lesser extent, Pennell, and occasionally Datone Jones, at least as much as Raji, but I will say, he wasn't too bad.

I have some guarded optimism because the Seahawks have a line that is a work in progress, esp. after giving away their C for a TE who won't block, so I'm not quite sure how to interpret the results of last night.

With that said, the DL rotation is encouraging, and it seems there are some glimmers of hope that they could be OK. Jones put down the doobie and showed some hustle, Raji blew through the line on a few occasions, Daniels was Daniels, and even Pennell seemed to be improving. They were showing glimpses of what we thought they could/should be.

Raji and the Interior Dline played well against Sea and Lynch. They were playing on Seattle's side of the ball most of the game. There was nowhere for Lynch to run most of the time except to try and bounce. I don't recall many yards gained between the tackles by seattle.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I think the defense will have some peaks and valleys but I feel strongly that this defense will end up being at least somewhere in the top 15 when all is said and done in the regular season.

Raji was arguably the most impressive defensive player for the Packers last night. He was consistently pushing around his guy blowing up run plays. What really impressed me was he helped shut down a couple outside runs also.
