Isn't he more of a receiving TE than a blocker?

Stadium has both but NFL games there are on grass.

Brock has had a 110+ passer rating in 60% of his career NFL starts including the playoffs. In Brock's 4 playoff starts, he has completed 62.7% of his passes at 8.0 YPA, 5 total TD's, 0 INT's and 101.0 passer rating. If you don't include the eagles game, he averages 266 passing yards per playoff game.

At no point in the packers game did I lose faith. He faced some real adversity and pulled out a gritty win. This week the conditions should be ideal and DET's pass defense is one of the worst in the league. I expect Brock to have a big game.

Detroit's defense isn't great. TB showed that yesterday. Their offense is explosive. I would like to see the Niners try and control the ball more with long drives that keep the Lions O off the field.That's what teams have been trying to do to the Niners recently. I have no problem with letting the backs rotate so they don't wear out CMC. If they can get back to splitting the runs and passes they are more effective.

Detroits defense isn't great, gaping holes in secondary and middle of the field will be there.

detroit will blitz the s**t out of us, hopefully shanny has some screens and motion plays to keep Detroit honest and take advantage of their aggressiveness

Yeah I think that is why we didn't sign him.

Lol if the Lions think Ertz is gonna help them in any way

Raiders play on grass. It's a roll in field like Arizona has. The same company designed both fields.

I mean he has to be better than the practice squad guy they have right now. 49ers will still have to honor his hands and route running as a receiving threat.

I'm not worried about moving the ball against the Lions. I'm worried about our defense stopping them.

MUCH better signing that Verrett (who just got hurt again)…this will just waste a roster spot for them, bobos

🧐 Those are grass stains, son…

Just hoping the rain was the cause for a lot of our performance issues but we gotta clean up the coaching BS.

If I see another kickoff short of the endzone I'm gonna lose my mind

I hope it won't rain again for us for a long time in a game that matters...but when it happens can we maybe run the ball vs teams who aren't good at stopping the run?

Biggest thing for the Lions game is DL play. Ours has to step up their play and stop the Lions running game and make Goff uncomfortable. If that happens I can't see us losing unless we get totally turnover prone on offense and hopefully without the rain we're back to being on point with our throws.

Yes. His blocking is not great
