49ers Offensive Line

This is exactly what I was saying in the game day thread. You gotta build hogs up front. Problem is Kyle likes quick light oline guys for his zone scheme.

If you can consistently run for 4 yards a carry up the middle that entire scheme with its current personnel gets blown up. We ain't doing that with our current center and LG. They need to get nasty in there.

There's no way in hell they can roll out the same line next year, is there?

From the article on the front page Brendel is a potential cut casualty because he's paid more than he's worth and is ranked 31 out of 40 centers. I guess that's nicer than saying 31st (with only 32teams).

Hes in his 30s too. Although he's been reliable he shouldn't be leading our Oline.

Shanahan really needs to move on from him if he wants his offense to get better. He creates zero running lanes for CMC up the middle which makes us think CMC lost a step. Smfh

CMC has lost a step

I know everyone one on here wants to replace/improve the center position, but I think that will do absolutely nothing if we don't get the LG fixed too. Even if we had the top center in the league, the play of the LG will just bring down the C play. The whole line needs to work together and a great center with weak guards will not do much imo. I point out the LG more because I'm hoping our RG maybe wakes up from the sophomore slump next year. Burford or Bartch isn't the answer at LG when we play great dlines.
