outside of our 49er injury problem that they have not addressed our poor line play is why were in this spot. when they stopped prioritizing our lines we stopped getting better. this teams strength has turned into our weakness. the lions are in the position they are in because their OL pushes the defense around however they want an dictates the game. we are now the opposite, our OL cant do s**t. our DL gets run all over all game. this team decided to load up on WRs who will never score points(ya looking at your foerester) because their QB will never even have a chance to get them the ball. I hope we don't sign Brock to a long term deal because wel be pissing all that money down the drain since its inevitable hel get knocked out for the season again after a DLmen runs over our trash OL. this team doesn't need weapons or DBs it needs linemen. there was quality DLmen to be had in trades this year an they didn't pick up s**t.
this is why if next year shanahan goes into the year with the same plan for personnel an the OL you may as well write the season off at the start. what's the definition of insanity? its not working, make changes.
Yep you nailed it
Defensive line was how this team made the Super Bowl twice. Offensive line and Defensive line was the case in the Harbaugh era. We mostly neglect the Offensive line with Shany. Puni was a brilliant pick. But other than that they mostly neglect it and it shows. You have to build the lines if you want to win.
yep an what happend when we started ignoring our DL. this. our DL declining and us being at this point is no coincidence. we are porous on our lines. we need that impenetrable always getting pass rush push DL back. we need a big fat aubrayo Franklin plugging up the middle to help maliek Collins, bosa on one edge and dee Ford with different legs on the other side. we can only dream.
We literally lost Bucker and Armstead. Then they got arrogant and thought picks like Kinlaw (major bust) could replace it. Plus expensive, aging vets who don't fit this system (Hargrave). We have never been the same since we lost those two. Especially up the middle. They thought they could replace them in the draft and FA. Both have failed and we haven't been the same since. That's when we were dominant in the middle.
exactly. when our lines started declining the team started declining. the OL never excelled anyways they did just barely enough to get to the SB so they could blow it on the big stage.
we sacrificed our lines so we could have 13 WRs an 34 DBs. what you saw on the field today is the result of that strategy.
