49ers Offensive Line

Horrible on the screen passes... and Bartch almost killed CMC and Jauan Jennings when he was trying to push CMC forward after a great run.. just ran in there like a missle head first and he got more of Jauan's arm and torso of CMC.

But that being said, more importantly pass protection looked GREAT... finally!

I hope they go over that with him (fortunate not to injure anyone) and others as a reminder...

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

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.

It astounds me that some fans are trashing the OL responsible for hanging a 40-Burger on the Cards. What do they want?

Maybe all you can eat at Red Robin and IN-N-OUT Burger for life... but probably still won't be good enough

The starting 5 o line is not that bad. They should finish the season ranked 10 to 15. The backup are not good. Trent William has never played every game as a 49er. Who is his backup and how long will the QB last with Trent out. Batch has been hurt is he going to make it the rest of the season? I'm not a Brendel fan.

Brendel is ass inspite of what garbage PFF claims.

One hundred percent. He's awful.

if the Niners reach the playoffs, the offensive line will get exposed badly for the third straight playoff appearance….The question is, will Shanahan actually address in the offseason?, or else expect more of the same next year

Agreed. I would love to see a film breakdown of Brendel excelling in run blocking this season. If that even exists.

Stevie Wonder could see how much Brendel sucks.

Other teams will just pick on mckivitz. He's just not athletic enough to get in front of any fast guys. He's been exposed so many times this season. Honestly if he had any kind of chip every play, even if it was pathetic by a rb, I bet he'd be way better.

Once a guys in front of him he can usually block pretty well.

The issue is mckivitz around the edge and Brendel up the middle is a 1+2 punch.

QB can't step up because Brendel's being ragdolled into his face meanwhile some dudes coming right around mckivitz from the side.

You're more likely to find Bigfoot than film of Brendel excelling at run blocking.
