He is grades out quite well on the running game. It is his pass protection that stinks. Of 37 Centers ranked on PFF, he is dead last in PP. A QB just cannot function well if the middle of the pocket is in constant collapse.

Whoever is "grading" at PFF should check out jonny's latest video because Brendel has been atrocious in the run game

Pff seems great when it affirms what you see, but there's a reason players and coaches scoff at it. Our own film review gurus confirm what we all see with our own eyes: Brendel sucks a** across the board.

I don't trust their rating system at all. Seen too many good games graded poorly or bad games graded better than they should've.

Thank god people finally are saying it!!!

I haven't trusted PFF since 2019 when they had Fred Warner graded as a backup special teams player despite everyone that watches the games recognizing he was already one of the best young LBs in the NFL.
Is he still on the roster?

Unfortunately, yes.
Can we bench this kid yet? He won't get hurt out there cause he isn't blocking anyone
This goes beyond Brendel. Kyles system means Center has to call out protections.

This is why I dont see them drafting a Center high. Kyle simply doesnt trust rookie centers, at least I think so

If Brendel is gone, they will go with a vet center. I would be very surprised if its someone else

I'm not defending Brendel. I was only noting how bad he was in PP. The run blocking grade is based on the full season. He grades out "average" by that matrix. The past game he was bad on both scores. The PP, OTOH, has been bad all year.

Wow. I just watched the johneydel video on YouTube where he goes over film from the previous week. It's shocking how many huge plays were broken up by one guy on the line. Time after time our center missed a block, got pushed away or into the ball carrier. He cost the niners numerous big plays in the packer game. I agree with Johnny, this guy should never start a single game again. I recommend everyone find this video o. YouTube and watch today. The games are terrible anyways today

It is absolutely unreal how much this guy is killing the offense all by himself

Thanks for the response. To many thoughtful responses get passed over by everyone. I'm glad people take time to read up on a topic and not just respond to the previous post in the thread

C in FA
RT in draft
Short term vet fill in at LG in FA

That's what I'd be looking at, but we'll probably still have Brendel.
