There might be a coach out there who is suddenly available that Shanahan thinks could be an upgrade or he just felt that Embree wasn't cutting the mustard, eitherway its his prerogative to move on.

Hopefully we get one that will get Kittle more involved in the damn gameplan aside from just staying in to block. I can't say for certain if that's Kyle or if it was Jimmy just not looking his way but something needs to change and Kittle needs more freaking targets. It's a joke how underutilized he was

Pretty much this.

Kittle staying in to help block 50% of the time.

"DAMNIT, why isn't Kittle getting the football more often?"

1. He wasn't the worst.
2. @Phoenix, I know he stayed in to block and acknowledged that.

There's other ways to help out the RT to get Kittle the ball more. I know both of you know this. Chips, shifting the RB to that side etc… We going to pretend that we the only team in the NFL with pass protection issues? That's such a weak excuse to not utilize Kittle who's one of the best in the NFL in the passing game more often. Just my opinion. If you guys are fine wasting him away as a blocker "50%" of the time, I simply disagree

Tom Compton's PFF run-blocking grade is #2 in the NFL ever since 49ers have inserted him at RT, better than even Trent Williams' grade.

Compton's pass-blocking efficiency score would rank dead last of all qualifying NFL tackles.

Wild dichotomy but the first part is found money

Great 49ers gift ideas ⇨

He was the 53rd ranked OT in PBLK at the end of the year. Dude was butt.

Lol but I should believe Lombardi? Everything he says is grain of salt for me. Look, I ain't denying that Compton sucks and absolutely is among the worst, as is Mcglinchey IMO. All I'm saying is that there are other ways besides Kittle staying in to help the RT pass protect and that I think he wasn't utilized enough, especially in the playoffs

Here's a way to simplify things....get a right tackle that doesn't suck at pass blocking.

Kittle ran the 14th most routes this yr among TEs (487), he was 2nd in the league in RBLK snaps (449), and 9th in PBLK snaps (70).

BINGO!!!! The 14th most routes this year among TEs is absolutely pathetic and a waste of his talent IMO. If people think that's "plenty" I wholeheartedly disagree.

Kittle having to constantly block DEs and LBs took a toll on him physically. Yesterday he said he had been hurting since game 1 this year. I have to believe that running more routes and throwing his body at fewer 300 pounders is going to extend his career. Bring in a new OL coach who can teach McGlinchey how to pass block and...problem solved.

Kyles run heavy offense does play a big part in that as well.

SF was damn near last in passing attempts this yr, so I wouldn't expect him to have as many route snaps as guys like Kelce and Pitts.

McG actually graded out just fine as a pass-blocker this yr. He wasn't elite but 70 overall is pretty good. How he recovers from his injury will be the issue. Our RG issue is the problem more than anything.
