He looks like this worst center in football right now. I think you have to consider benching him for Feliciano if he's healthy after next week.
Ricky should get called up too.

Brendel has reverted to playing like his draft position.. UDFA.

Meanwhile Zach Frazier looks like a stud as a rookie. I'm so over this bargain basement approach to the OL.

IIRC Feliciano isnt eligible to return until like half of the season. He also hasnt played in TC at all and is like 32 and has never played an NFL snap at center with 49ers
There is basically zero way Kyle is replacing a center mid-season imo

Stop reminding me 😭
I don't hate Ricky by any means but to me, Frazier was an obvious starting caliber player on the board and people are already calling him elite.

I thought Frazier would be exactly the person we wanted here. He fit everything we want. Pounded the table but sadly I have no say.
I also screamed for Creed Humphrey and we took Banks...
That said, we took three other gold helmet players I wanted in Puni, Malik, and Cowing this year.. So I don't want to be too negative but I thought Frazier should've been a no brainer.

Stop it, I'm sad now.

It looks to have been a solid draft but adding Frazier to the mix would've taken it to a whole other level.

Brendel is doing quite well in run blocking. His PFF rating of 67.7 is better than just "acceptable."
It is in pass blocking that he STRUGGLES. His 29.5 is the lowest in the league by 11 points. It is also the lowest two-game rating I can recall in his career (I watch this stuff). Overall, he ranks #25 in the league. In the past, he has been around 18. Let's hope he gets back to at least that level.
Kyle mentioned they missed potential large gains on four pass plays due to a breakdown in protection. KS wasn't specific but it is likely Brendel was the primary culprit in most of them.
His true pass sets are even worse. It's wild that they didn't even bring in legit competition at a position that's supposed to be so important to the offense. Dude is in charge of protections for god sake.
great draft class at IOL and nothing of real substance at the C position. It's gonna bite them in the ass.

It's insane and you don't even need to spend a top 20 pick to make it happen.

Kyle doesn't believe in investing into OL and especially a rookie center. It is what it is.
He's pretty fortunate that Trent is a big fan of his otherwise we night have had some mediocrity at LT too.

After the bye is my understanding.
I'm hoping that's their plan, has to be. He could make such a huge difference.

If Purdy was calling the protections maybe our pass-pro wouldn't be this bad but we know that Shanny will never do that because he is stubborn as f**k.
