Yea. Its hard to gel if they aren't all playing together. Who do you think steps in if MM isn't ready to go week 1?

I have to believe its Mills as Brunskill has been stuck at C and Moore has been shelved with injuries.

Not panicking but you have 3 rookie/very inexperienced interior players at G/C and a RT that sucks when he is healthy and is current still hobbling. Oooooh, and we have our high priced rookie QB to protect. One more thing, the center position is highly relied upon in a Shany offense. Concerned for sure........optimistic is much too rosy.

Pass protection is a legit concern for sure, but I'm wondering how well new members of this line will be at run blocking. If they aren't close to the run blocking efficiency of last year's line, I think the offense will be in big trouble because then the opposing defenses will be able to t-off that much more on passing plays - especially if the offense keeps getting into 3rd and long situations because of a lack of an efficient running game.

Does anyone have a sense yet how well this line shapes up on run blocking?

This reads like panicking

This is no joke! I only have the pre season to go on but the IZ, gap and power seemed really solid. OZ was your standard boom (big gain) or bust (loss of yards). I did notice almost all of the big runs came behind the Poe and Mills on the right side.

It seems like Shanahan's offense leans heavily on a strong run game (see 2019 postseason) so good line run blocking is crucial. I hope your basically positive initial impression holds true during the season.
