Brendel: "I'm yer Huckleberry"

can you imagine 95 plays NOSE that Sunday?

Brendel should become our OL coach next year..

Sandwich meat

yeah no sh!t... he can probably coach his ass off too (smart guy)

wacha talkin about, girl ??

Shanny was terrible in college and he's doing ok job in the NFL...

I'm talking about Brendel, he might be better at coaching than his play on the field

He'll be a very very good OL coach IMO... maybe he has the brain but the body just can't get it done..

Shnanny won't let him go so, bet on him being center next season again

He should work out with Bosa and stop f***ing around with pilates and yoga

This guy will be our starting center for however long Kyle is here.

Move Puni over and let him challenge Brendel.

What's wrong with Henny? When he was playing the run game and pass protection was clicking.

Hennessy is a good back up but he's a free agent in March. And if we're going free agents stop f**king around and go get Tyler Linderbaum!!!

Linderbaum will cost 4 years, $60 million value, $35 million guaranteed, maybe more. That will NOT happen.

Linderbaum is a great run blocker but is just 4 points above Brendel in pass blocking. The Ravens get away with that because Lamar scrambles so much. Purdy is a decent scrambler but not even close to Lamar in scrambling.

He's going to cost a whole lot more than that.

Go get Jake Slaughter in round 2. He's a mobile, cerebral processor at C and excellent in pass pro.

But we won't. Because Shanahan won't replace Brendel.

Linderbaum is 10x the better Center than what Brendel is. Forget points and PFF, Linderbaum had to deal with different QB's so of course Brendel might look just AS good.

And yes Linderbaum is gonna cost money, if you want the best you gotta pay for the best. Why the 9ers don't put much stock in their O-line is beyond me.

Did Brendel not have to deal with different QBs?

Brendel and Linderbaum aren't even the same species.

He also is physical and can hold up against the stronger DTs seemingly. I preferred moving Puni over because no rookie is replacing Brendel. If Slaughter could start at LG initially I'd be all in.

To be fair, they have tried the hardest at center. Weston Richburg and Alex Mack got big money deals. If anything, the Linderbaum thing is most likely to happen. What we haven't seen is the team seeking to be dominant from LT to RT. I think it's even more important now that Trent Williams isn't an automatic 99 every year.

After this past weekends ratings have been filed. here is a comparison of the two highest ranked FA Centers and Brendel, along with current/projected 2026 salary:

Tyler Linderbaum - #6 ranked (down from #4 in week 8) PP - 58, Run blocking - 82, Spotrac estimated 2026 market value - $17.2 million/yr
Cade Mays - #22 ranked (not playing, injured), PP - 68, Run blocking - 59, market value - $12.4,

Jake Brendel - #11 ranked, PP - 53 (up 2 points since week 8), Run blocking 78, under contract for 2026 at $5,2 million.

On balance, Mays is not worth the market estimate. He is not as good as Brendel.
Linderbaum is an elite run blocker but only 4 points better Brendel in the run game. Linderbaum is 5 points better than Brendel in pass protection but that is a weakness for both players.

Brendel will be 34 by the end of 2026. The team must be looking for his replacement though this has been Brendel's best year and he looks capable of playing at least one more year.

The obvious choice is the draft. The only FA improvement would be Linderbaum but consider: Linderbaum is rated only one spot above Brendel in run blocking but is 5 spots higher in pass protection. However, both are ranked in the bottom 1/3 in pass protection (TL #25, JB #30). Neither is an anchor in pass protection.

The question then is: based on current performance ratings, is Linderbaum worth 3x Brendel's salary? It isn't like we would be getting Creed Humphrey or Drew Dalman. Those guys are actually earning the kind of money Spotrac projects Linderbaum may get. At best, we can say Linderbaum is better but not at an increment that justifies his market value projection.
