OL got one, lets show the other big uglies some love. A couple good performances from some of our back ups. I think Day is a solid DT rotation player, then with Sully, AA, Taylor, DJ, i think the interior looks good playing alongside Buckner. The DEs looks like the biggest issue, the backs up at least. They looked terrible against Cowboys 1st team OL. Hopefully we dont stay in house and pick up a rotational pass rusher who can do some damage. Valoaga looked pretty good against back ups, but any decent pass rusher can dominate 3rd string OL.

The depth is pretty thin at DL but if they can get healthy and West who might be the X-factor can play like he did last season that will be huge. He was so good.

I believe our DL will be ok. West and Sam O are coming back. They have Mckinley Jackson in practice squad if they need the big body in the middle. Heck, they can sign Leonard Floyd, Joey Bosa etc. if need to.

Keion White's ankles are intact, but I get it. The Halton loss is crushing.

I hear you both, I just love the young guy. I love all of our guys, feel bad for Halton he was playing his heart out for us.

True, White has been our best DL this season.

Kyle Shanahan said the 49ers would be open to bringing back DT Jordan Elliott.

He said: "This building loved Jordan. ... Jordan is someone we'd always be interested in as a person and a player."
