Nice, I read burford looks great. How about banks and center?

Burford struggled in PP but Banks and Brendel looked really solid. I'll watch them all again closely later.

Yea. I am going to have to go back and watch Burford again myself. I thought I saw Banks get pushed back in pass pro a couple times on the first drive but looked better on that bomb to Gray. Brendel did look solid. I honestly cannot see Brunskill beating him out for the starting role. It will be nice to see the entire starting lineup play together before the start of the season.

At first glance, I totally agree. Always fun to rewatch without the emotion. I don't like the quick inside pressure so I'll pay extra attention to what happened there.

Rewatched Poe in the 4th QTR, he did a good job in pass pro on the Purdy TD throw and 2 point conversion. Well, in my opinion, at least. I thought the OLine in general did a good job in pass protection. There were some breakdowns, but I attribute it to not playing together vs being physically dominated.

Getting to the 53 this year is going to be hard.

Justin Skule needs to go. The guy is flat out useless in pass pro.

Absolutely.

That left T was as bad as Skule at RT too. Not a lot of clean pockets for 2.5+s all game. I'm definitely looking forward to getting TW back.

There weren't. But the qbs also did a fantastic job of buying time and stepping up. A significant difference from what the team had.

Mills should get run as 2nd team RT. Skule is done.

Backups are a different story we are pretty thin at OL

I think we are just trying to just five good starters, given the losses on O-line. I wouldn't expect big things from the backups yet, but for me, it looks better than it has in years past. We are better considering many thought the whole IOL was going to be a problem and right now we are only looking at center as the point of concern.

Yes. Was that Mckivitz at LT? I hope both our starting T's can stay healthy all season. The IOL looks like it has a chance to be adequate enough. If we can finally get some durability and chemistry along the O line, it will go a long way to keeping Trey a head of schedule this season.

Best thing for the 9ers right now is to have Brunskill be first off bench at all the spots. Hope Moore can get healthy so we can see him more at guard.

That is his role. He has been very solid at both OTs in the past. He is serviceable at Guard and Center. Keeping him is like a 3-in-1 package - he saves roster spots for other areas where there is solid depth but no roster spots available otherwise.

I don't understand why we keep Brunskill inside. He performed much better at tackle in the past.
