Aside that I feel like we are telegraphing something on our runs because so far this season teams have been all over many of our run plays.
Not making excuses because the run blocking hasn't been great but I swear we've had 5+ wack ass holding calls on good runs this year. Such garbage when get get no similar calls on the other side

We have zero rushing TDs because Kyle's play calls become very vanilla inside the 5. Up the middle to CMC.
What happened to the toss plays or jet sweeps. I know we don't have Deebo but put CMC in the slot & motion him on the sweep, or Guerendo. Hell, Pearsall looked good when he ran his jet sweep last year.

He tried that little pitch that cuts back inside (maybe a RB option). CMC just ran with no power or conviction. 2 years ago he gets in. This year CMC seems like he's just tentative. Understandable to a degree as he missed a bunch of time but he doesn't look great running.

Exactly my point, you can recall one play because it was so rare. How many other times was it just ran down the throat for little or nothing? Majority of the time. It's like Kyle turns into the coach from the Waterboy (pre Bobby Boucher discovery) anytime he enters the red zone. Bye bye creativity 😆

Just a reminder of the general level of play for ol around the NFL.
You'd never know it with the whining here!

This OL loses consistently in the trenches against any kind of talented DLs. Too often a theme for this team.

OL had a notable role with the 2nd INT (tipped at LOS) and 2nd fumble (pressure by Armstead of all people).
Surprisingly they've been better at pass pro only because their run blocking has been atrocious.

Zero holes or push from our Oline. Watch tonight's game with GB against Dal and the line is moving Dal 5 yards before Jacobs gets contact.

The left side of the o line is dead in terms of run blocking. TW decline is real and our left guards are finese players. At least Banks would maul folks in the run game. It's so bad they are running more to the right side. Puni is consistently getting his ass whooped and Mckivitz has never been a great run blocker. All 5 of these dudes are a liability. I don't trust any of them anymore not even TW

They have changed out both Guard positions and there's still problems, could it be the Center!!!! C'mon Shanahan switch him out!!!!

Your totally wrong CMC looks the same as 2023 those toss and just about every run the line is blown up he's not going to run over 3 players , never was his style. Josh Allen was man handling Trent for most of the game this is on KW for not drafting a o lineman at the top of the draft the last couple of years. Look at the wide open hole the Jags RB had to run thru today if CMC gets anything like that everyone will say he's back.

Colby is a scrub he was a late round dart throw for a reason. This FO chose to ignore the OL after glaring issues the past couple of seasons
