Farrell could run a 4.2 40 and it would be tough to get through there if the other guy times the snap count the way he did.

Yes, he hesitates as if he's looking for someone to block inside, while trying to avoid Mac.

I don't put it 100% on him (somewhat dumb playcall) but to just absolve him is also not accurate. Don't worry about what's happening inside. Get your ass to the edge as fast as possible and don't hesitate

I wasn't absolving him, simply reminding folks who either didn't watch or forgot the circumstances of the play.

The year is 2025

49ers' fans still don't know what a sift block is

They blame Shanahan for using them despite all 31 other NFL teams using them as well

🤡

Charlie Woerner v2.0 ... It seems they learned they can't find another Kittle, so they brought Woerner back at half price.

I love that Willis has finally started showing up too.

Maybe consider the caliber of player you're going against when calling the play to his side???

This guy is absolute garbage. Terrible blocker, gives nothing as a wr and turns the ball over. This was our big splash in FA -_-

Yikes, Luke really is struggling to do the primary thing he was brought in to do. BUT, keep in mind, he was supposed to be paired with Kittle, so Kittle could get out into routes more.

LUKE struggling because he's not used to the GIMMICK'S Shanny uses... he is a wasted signing as I said.. especially since we drafted a TE high and another TE low..

Shanny needs to explain why we drafted those fools and sign an average TE instead of a veteral OL.

Horrible signing. Can't catch. Can't hold onto the ball. And he can't block.

Other than that, he's pretty good though
