For anyone. He belongs on a practice squad and preferably not ours.

With the recent improvement by Puni, and Bartch instead of Colby/Burford, the OL is looking much better.
Here are the latest PFF ratings and rankings for 49er OL.
Trent - #5 overall out of 76 tackles rated. PP = 78, RB = 83
McKivitz - #15 overall, PP = 71, RB = 85
Bartch - #5 of 79 (lacks minimum reps), PP = 62, RB = 79
Burford - #58, PP = 38, RB = 58
Puni - #36, PP = 55, RB = 65, In 2024, Puni was in the top 10 most of the year. If he can regain that form, we will cook.
Brendel - #11 of 37, PP = 50, RB = 76
Hennessey #14, (lacks minimum reps), PP = 63, RB = 66

If they can get fully healthy and stay like that come playoff time, the offense is good for a playoff run, but then the D

The line is honestly playing a little better with BARF in there at LG. Kind of surprising.

Buckner, I didn't say they were only on the offensive side of the ball.

He's not terrible. Brendel is s**t and mckivitz cannot handle good speed rushers, but we already knew this.

The 49ers hung a 40-Burger on the Cardinals today. One of the big reasons why is the OL gave Brock Purdy plenty of time to search the field and throw. All five OL starters deserve credit. They played their butts off. Yes, even the right tackle. I'm not sure which game you were watching.

Brock Purdy was pressured on 25% of his dropbacks today. That's the fourth-lowest rate in his career. It's the fourth time in five games that the 49ers' offensive line has allowed no worse than a 25% pressure rate.

The continual ragging on Brendel is getting old. Yes, pass protection is his weakness, but his run blocking is ranked #10 among all centers. He was better yesterday than he has been on PP. Overall, Brendel, ranks #11 among 37 Centers with qualifying reps.
McKivitz also gets ragging that he doesn't deserve. He is ranked #12 among OTs. His run blocking ranks #3 in the league, 4 points above Trent. His pass protection is "above average" 71.6. He got beat for a pressure twice yesterday but on one of those, he has Sweat under control until Puni came to help but actually pushed Sweat past McKivitz to get pressure on Brock.
So, there will be some that come on and rant against PFF. However, it is selective memory disorder as the same rating system puts Trent Williams at #4 overall.
