49ers Offensive Line

Do you remember when Trent came over, then we had Mack for the one year. Trent said a star center is the anchor to Kyle's o-line scheme. Calling the proper protections etc.

I think any coach knows you need a great blind side tackle for your QB. But it does seem Kyle knows he needs a better center. He tired to upgrade Brendal, but nothing worked out there last offseason. However, It seems he doesn't prefer to develop young guys there. I think they're largely gone about guard well. And he bucked his own trend when drafting Banks, who's been very good. So there's some hope he will keep it real to himself and keep getting better.

Our starting roster is overall excellent the next few years minus the o line.
3 of the first 4 picks should be best OL available. In fact they need to get in the habit of drafting o line way more. We have 12 picks? Should be 5 o line. 2 run stuffing DT. 2 secondary , 1 te, 1 speed wr. And then a bpa

That volume of o line bodies alone gives us a chance of hitting on one every year.

Easy pal easy.... no more bickering. Just enjoy our success. We need positive energy to win today

Right? MVP QB + top 5 OL = these whiners are still whining.

"But NC said..."

Haha.

deflect deflect deflect ..good spin strategy

Hey I said the O line would kill us and I was wrong. It's OK I would rather win it all then be right. I do want to have some discussion on our line play however. I'm watching Kermit start to come back and that sucks.

I reserved judgement until week 8 but after those 3 straight losses and McKivitz getting killed starting week 1 against Pittsburgh, if someone told me in week 16 TrenchWarfare/Brandon Thorn would have us ranked in tier 2, #5 overall, I probably wouldn't have believed it.

TBF, I share YAC's hidden concerns as well. I don't necessarily fully agree with that ranking but in a year where we've seen every tier 1 OL bounce around, I can see why they'd be ranked that high right now...consistency.

My concerns aren't hidden. Pass protection is one of the worst in the league when Trent isn't protecting Brock's blind side. Without Trent this run game averages less than 4 yards per carry. Without Trent, Brock and CMC, this team is fighting for the 7th seed.

Well you and I know that. But for the crew in back who don't read or comprehend, I'll let you speak for yourself. I probably should have used the word "masked" instead because it's hard for many to see that weakness unless you're really looking for it.

Masked does sound like a better description. 👍

Well, s**t.

Once you lose 2 starters and a backup you look terrible? Imagine that.

Probably have Baltimore 1st even though they couldn't run and the 9ers missed a good 4 sacks because Jackson is Jackson.

You guys mock real deficiencies with quips. Reality is our C is ok, our RG is a weakness and our RT is certainly not a strength at RT, let alone LT. So 3/5s of our OL is between mediocre and suspect.
