The Rams aren't exactly a pass rushing juggernaut and they were still able to continually get pressure on Purdy. Then you had several whiffed blocks in the run game that resulted in either no gain or a loss.
If you want to argue that they've played well, be my guest.
those ends on the rams have looked good multiple times...they might be better then we thought....
side note
We have heard from multiple player how complex the running and blocking scheme is for the 49ers, it is quite possible you can't just drop in any rookie center and get the calls right.
It is super easy to say "get better players", it is a completely different thing to find the guy who can do what is being asked.
I really think the future of the 49er line should be a mix of finding these "rare" dudes who can move and think the way the 49ers seem to need, then RETAIN THEM. If you can't just restock them...retain them. Take Puni for example, hey look we plugged a hole....do we let him leave in 3 years, to start this process again?
I hope Nugent is the answer and they are crash coursing him in what he needs to know to take over the position at the latest next year.
