With Winston Justice sidelined because of a knee injury and Ryan Harris experiencing back problems, King Dunlap was given the start at right tackle. On an early pass play, Dunlap worked well with rookie right guard Danny Watkins – the former picking up a blitzing Lawrence Timmons and passing Lamar Woodley off inside. Dunlap had no problem handling Ziggy Hood when squaring off with him on runs or passses. Watkins wasn’t quite able to seal Hood on a toss play, though, allowing him to make the stop.

Watkins flashed the ability that made him a first round pick and both men were perfect in pass protection for two second quarter passes.

[But] there just kept being opportunities we felt were consistent with the goal of being aggressive in the short term but not sacrificing in the long term."
