Edge pressure can be avoided by stepping up in the pocket, but interior pressure is very bothersome for a short QB. 'Adequate' is not good enough, interior pass pro must be good.

When is the last time we prioritized the interior OL? I know we tried paying C a couple times, but that was more about calling protections and knowing Kyle's system. Banks looks solid, but we haven't been very good at drafting OL at all under this regime. I wonder who the free agent G's and C's are?

I thought he was not good to start the year, but got better as the year progressed. He's good. Someone with advanced stats might have the numbers to show how well each individual was at pass pro. I'd love to have an interior OL where they each are at the top of pass block win% (or whichever stat shows they are good at pass pro). That would go a long way in setting up Brock for success.

I know McGlinchey has been better than usual this year, but if we had a better RT Purdy would actually be able to roll right and throw with his proper mechanics when things went off schedule. Right now he rolls left because the right side collapses and his only safety is behind Trent. But he ends up having to turn back or spin to square his body with a throw and by that time he is usually throwing it away.

Move Trent to RT vs Philly

I kind of hope he succeeds because I know it triggers all these coaches, scouts, and talking heads in the media that do NOT have the HUMILITY to see that sometimes they could be wrong about a player. It's complete arrogance.

Kyle is proving that you don't necessarily need a superstar quarterback to be competitive and I think it bothers some that's why so many are dismissive of the team's chances of winning a championship.

It's crazy to me that Purdy must win the SB in his 9th start as a rookie to be the guy. Talk about high expectations, sheesh.

Truth. Do you think the draft is the best place to find these guys, FA, or both?

Absolutely. The Saints continually had top notch OLs throughout his time there. As you said, adequate is not good enough, they need to look for linemen inside that can consistently win their matchups.

An old Naval Aviation saying is "One 'Awhh $hit' wipes out 'a Thousand 'Atta Boy's'".

This is why Nick Saban is great in College ball, but a fish out of water in the NFL.

Physical attributes win in College. It takes Headwork to excel at the qb position in the NFL.

Meh Brees made them look better than they were. McCoy is a good player but Ruiz and Peet aren't.

Hmmmmm. Now would you give up run blocking effectiveness to have that? Because of course everyone would love to have both, but nothing's perfect.

Since the 49ers are ready to win right now, I'm fine with splurging in free agency to get an immediate boost in 2023. I don't know whether it's Brendl or Burford that would be replaced. Brendl is coming off a pro bowl season and is a free agent. Burford is promising and getting valuable experience. Also don't know what the free agent market looks like because the names I see I don't recognize (because I don't know much about interior OLmen on other teams).

I don't think RT has anything to do with him rolling to the left all the time.

No reason to assume that both Banks and Burford can't be those guys…they're young and only starting in their development as NFL starters.
