Both men are behind the league this year
Abraham Lucas and Grey Zabel are both allowing more pressure than the league average at their spots this year. Lucas allowed pressure at 0.68 times the league tackle rate in 2025. This year it's 1.26 times, and his Value Over Replacement, where 100 is replacement level, fell from 127.2, 30th of 96 regular tackles, to 97.2, 50th of 69, below replacement level. Zabel went from 0.90 times the league guard rate to 1.17. His VOR fell from 137.7, 18th of 96 guards, to 104.4, 45th of 75.

Follow @hawkblogger →Wow. Now Kobie Turner out as well. Rams have some serious talent on the sidelines.
Poona Ford out for the season is a massive blow for a run defense already struggling.
Rams lose a key part of their offense. WR room was thin to begin with. Have to wonder about the decision to use that top pick on a QB.
The sands are shifting in the NFC. @SandoNFL had some great context about just how bad the Seahawks offense has been, how good the defense has been, and why he thinks they remain the team nobody wants to face.
