Who knows when Kilgore will return though which is why we added Easton

We dump Silberman when Kilgore returns. Silberman should be on the PS anyways.

Or Silberman since Marcus Martin and Kilgore both can play guard.

This too. If the center spot is holding up, it could be that Kilgore ends up with the whole season off to recover and get ready for the next one.

Or Brandon Thomas as he then becomes our least flexible interior lineman.

Yeah Brandon Thomas isn't going anywhere. By every report the coaching staff loves the guy and see him as a future starter at left guard. Considering that this is his rookie season pretty much, I see him getting another couple of seasons before they ever get to that point.

Lulz, what games were you watching? He stunk up the field against backups and people that are no longer on most rosters right now.

The same one PFF was watching where he graded out a +3.1 in 106 snaps.

Tiller was over a +7, outplayed Brandon Thomas and Ian Silberman and we see where that got him. They have a plan for this O Line that is different than last years. We'll see what happens if/when Kilgore heals up. This O-Line preseason didn't exactly look like a meritocracy. Thomas looked better than Silberman, got benched, then Silberman got benched for Devey who played one series in the 3rd game and was then named a starter, and Looney and Tiller outplayed all of them and then were cut. Foersters like a mad scientist only he knows what he's cooking up.

He was undrafted

I know that, what did the 49ers give up to get him???

Why do you even ask, I am sure it is Baalke's fault. Doesn't matter what the facts are. Oh, and I bet he has a hidden ACL tear too.

I'm not arguing that point. Just that he didn't stink it up. Tiller most assuredly didn't stink it up.

Drafted, undrafted, means jack crap after the draft is over.

I would take just about anyone right now. I don't think it could get any worse from the performance they put on.
