Do you watch the games?? You are wondering about Jake Brendel?? I think RT has been way more of a glaring need than center. Brendels contract is team friendly so if they want to move on, they can. Presently NO ONE on the roster is better than Brendel at center. If they were they would be starting.
That's the problem. And that falls on Lynch and Shanahan.

Yes, I love our GM and coach, but they are not perfect, and this is probably the most frustrating flaw they have.

Same and if healthy I would argue Feliciano is in the middle range of centers leaguewide if not a tad better. Based on what we've seen from Brendel so far that would be a massive improvement leaving only McK as an obvious weakness which imo be schemed around far more easily than a terrible center.

Jake Brendel has the lowest pass blocking grade (29.5) on PFF out of all centers who played this season. He's last at 34th. pic.twitter.com/A9jnVf0AfT

Shocking. This staff is clueless when it comes to OL. I have no idea who told them to draft Puni but they better thank them.

I don't know if Zakelj is any better, but my assumption is that they only keep Brendel out there because he's the better run blocker.

Honestly, I don't even want him as a backup. Maybe when Feliciano is back we can run with him and Zakelj.
