C Jake Brendel Thread

I'm just wondering what Kyle sees in this guy? Is he just a Hall Of Fame player in Practice?

Brendal stays fresh by sitting on his butt and lying on his back a lot DURING plays. I hope Hennessy can handle the rigors of a full game, without taking these frequent "breaks".

Hope this is good riddance for The Tin Man.

I don't know what Hennessy is but really cool seeing him stick to his blocks and not getting his ass handed to him and being on the ground constantly.

Hennessy was signed to compete for the starting job, but never had the chance due to injury. Hence, it should not be a big surprise that he played well..

In fairness, I believe the game plan and the scheme Kyle set up had a huge impact on the success of the IOL. They were given a chance to do what all OLs love to do - go initiate contact. It is much harder to play football if you are trying to set up and stop a guy who is already a step or two going forward. Once the OL gets a chance to go on the offensive, they get more confidence and play better. It is just the nature of the game and the psyche of the men who play it.

To underscore the above: It is SO much easier for the OL to run block than pass block, even in Kyle's relatively complicated scheme. Run blocking creates a superman sense among the linemen that does not exist in the relatively passive pass blocking sets.

Last night the OL was more efficient than it has been BEFORE Brendel was injured, and it just kept firing after Hennessey went in. Kudos to Kyle for returning to his first love - the running game.

I'm just glad they anyone else playing center besides Brendel!😃

Listen I won't pretend that Jake Brendel is a good player because well we all know the answer to this question but I hope he will be back soon.
With all the injuries they had so far, the Niners need everyone this season.

As a back up

I don't want to see his probowl season derailed by this injury.

Hennessy showed up and did very well.

He doesn't get pushed around, thrown to the ground, flat on his back, on all four looking behind, up n down... like a naughty chic

PFF grades on per snap basis

Sky Moore had three snaps the entire game and one of which was a checkdown throw he caught and then made two defenders miss and got a first down with about 10 yards of yac

it makes sense his grade would be really high, Id expect it to be extremely high actually. If he had one snap in the game and that snap would be that catch, it would be even higher. since PFF gives grades for each snap and then sums each grade from each snap up, perhaps with some weighting of situation.

thats how PFF grades work, or at least the estimate of their grades

instead people who laugh at pff think that somehow this grade represents who was the best player overall in the entire game. well, joke's on them not understanding how pff grades...
