ESPN just released their projected offensive line rankings for this season. Niners right in the middle at 16. Interesting note about Brunkskill against Donald since it seems like Donald never really has a dominant game against us. See the Niners write up below:

Projected starters: Trent Williams, Aaron Banks, Jake Brendel, Daniel Brunskill, Mike McGlinchey

Predicted pass block rank: No. 15
Predicted run block rank: No. 16

"The Niners are of course anchored by Williams, but losing Laken Tomlinson hurts, and PBWR has seen McGlinchey as below average in each of the past two seasons.

Everyone has a rough time against Aaron Donald, but no one more than Brunskill. He has surrendered a 54% PRWR to Donald over his career, the highest of any player with at least 15 pass-rush plays with a win or loss vs. Donald since 2017."

100% based on last years personnel - we're getting bump from what the guys have done before.

I think these projections are about in line with what I expect, maybe too low (top-12) in run blocking. I feel like we have a middle-of-the-road offensive line and an elite defensive line.
if it were really based on last year, the ranking would be higher

they are where they should be for the time being

From Football outsiders

Let's take Garoppolo, for example. He was pressured on 23.4% of his dropbacks, the eighth-lowest rate among 34 qualifying quarterbacks in 2021. So he was passing from a clean pocket about three-quarters of the time, and on those plays he was fantastic—his 64.7% DVOA was third best behind Aaron Rodgers and Kirk Cousins. When pressure did arrive, however, Garoppolo's DVOA fell all the way to -95.4%, well below the league average of -74.0%. That's a drop of 160.1% in DVOA between pressured and non-pressured plays

Yup. We are moving on from a QB who cannot perform under pressure and we let go of the 2 weakest pass pro's on the line.

Yup. TBF, not many QB's are successful in the playoffs with a 42% pressure rate (25% is good) and <3ypc.

That greatly needs to improved upon...this time for Trey. He needs to help his OL as much as he can and make the plays that are there.

Neither will likely happen in year 1.

NY brought up the same topic in the Jimmy thread. I asked the question in there. If a QB is under pressure on 42% of his drop backs with an ADOT as low as 6.0, is it because the QB is holding onto the ball too long or is it because PP is just that bad?

Didn't you already do the TTT splits? When pressured, when not. It's hard to say in a general sense but the ones that pushed a 3s average you can assume he either didn't pull the trigger and/or tried to buy time. Neither are going to end well for him. As to IF there was a primary or secondary open, we'd have to look at that sample. My guess is he didn't see something he liked and didn't pull the trigger in a tight game. So "holding the ball too long."

I don't think I included them all on that chart I made but here they are.

Was that the playoffs? Those are insanely high TTT's.

I thought you had one that showed his rating while no pressure and with pressure and the TTT's corresponded too. Like 2.3s and over 3s. No?

Yes. These are playoff numbers and under pressure only.

I may have posted Jimmy's TTT with and without pressure but I did not make a chart for all playoff QB's

Correct. It was just about Jimmy. It was a super comprehensive splits post.

Man, those are crazy high. As an example, JG is usually one of the fastest at around 2.5ish. Anything from 2.8+ is all your mobile QB's.

Here is another interesting chart. It assigns blame for the pressures allowed.


Well that is fascinating. I'd love to read how they came up with that operational definition.

Man, I tried to predict this unit a bit ago but I just don't have any idea how effective they'll be in run blocking with the new scheme and personnel.

I think I had them around 23 to start. Probably closer to 16 by the end of the year.

That's a ding in my durability book.
This unit will be the death of this team this year. Mark my words.

Good report on the front page today, apparently all played well apart from some Center issues.

We'll see. I don't think they'll be a train wreck, which should hopefully be enough with the talent through the rest of the roster

I hear Bosa wasn't playing. That might be the difference.
Sounds like brunskill can't consistently snap the ball.

Any news on west? Was hoping he could be a dark horse center.

I hope this doesn't cause him to miss too much time. I was hoping to see him competing for playing time this year.

Agree 💯%, I like Jaylon Moore's athleticism. He's a big guy that can move. I think durability is an underrated part of a football players overall talent. Hope Jaylon heals up quick.

Seems to be an obvious weakness of the team. Which might also be the case for the Rams and possibly TB.
