Agree that Dallas has a good OLine, and prior to the Eagles game, probably they did have the better OLine than we did. Having said that, this 49er OLine is pretty young and getting better. I really didn't see the 49er OLine getting consistently physically overpowered by the Eagle DLine, and that's not an average DLine. The 49ers basically dominated the Eagles DLine - kind of shows me the progress this Offensive LIne had made during the course of the season. McKivitz isn't the passing turnstile that McGlinchy is, for example. He's done decent. Burford seems to be getting on the same page as Brendel and McKivitz. Depth is decent too, with Feliciano doing decent in place of Banks. They are operating more as a unit than ever before, and those *in game* reps really is a big deal in improving their performance and coordination as the season wears on. It also does help that Brock doesn't hold the ball longer than he does, for sure.
that looks more like CMC though haha BP doesn't have blue eyes lolol
