C Jake Brendel Thread | Page 58 | 49ers Webzone Forum

I think I have finally accepted that Brendel may be our starting center. I made a similar post in the OL thread. According to Kyle Shanahan, he's very comfortable with the center room we have now. I really wanted JC Tretter but I guess that might not be happening. Trent Williams also said he is so athletic and twitchy that because of his elite athleticism we might not have much of a drop off from Mack last year. Chris Forrester also likes him a lot. Jake Brendel's relative athletic score of 9.94 was off the charts. Since measuring this statistic, he is top 10 all-time for any center ever drafted. Since 2006 only 2 centers have a higher RAS score: Chris Chester 10 and Garrett Bradbury 9.96. Brendel scored 9.94 (tied with Rob Hunt) Of course playing center is more mental than physical but I guess Brendel has been snapping to Trey Lance for a while now and had been in our system for a few years so he might not be that much of a drop off maybe even an upgrade athletically. I'm just keeping my hopes up and I think you all should too.

A big upgrade at Center would really help this line. Bull rush right up the middle is devastating to a passing game and Brock. We can't have it anymore.

What did the coaching staff say about him in the offseason........how good he was in 2024. Blind or stupid.

They got to be blind. Because that's not what's happening out there. Probably their same evaluation of Jake Moody. LOL. Everyone else can see it but them.

That's why PFF is a joke. We all saw those 2 getting pushed back the entire game.

Yeah I don't think I can trust PFF. Because that's not what my eyes told me. Brendel was getting thrown around like a rag doll. As usual. No way he was highly rated.

I have disliked Brendel but I would be lying if I said I thought he's been terrible through 2 weeks. I thought he has played well overall, despite a few plays where he got beat

Jesus...He looked okay against the Saints. SEA was a mess, dude was outclassed completely.

PFF just sucks when it comes to grading certain positions.
