![]() I think the offense now gives the defense some room to breathe, so to speak. I could see the 49ers being better in the beginning of this year compared to seasons past. ![]() They may have a struggle against the Steelers, a lot of teams will against that front seven, but as long as the starters stay healthy my guess is they are in the middle of the pack at worst as a unit. You may not like that strategy but he’s been successful with it so I don’t expect it to change. Tom Compton was the starting RT for half of the 2021 season when they went to the NFFCG. They had Ben Garland and Michael Person starting for a good chunk if 2019 when they went to the SB. Every season Shanahan has been here he’s had young players or journeymen starting on the Oline and they make it work. We have comments like this made every season and yet somehow someway the offense is usually top ten, top 5 when Purdy took over. Burford has a year under his belt and has worked extensively with Williams in the offseason so we’ll see. Considering McGlinchey was annually ranked as a poor pass blocker I’m not sure there is much of a drop if any in pass protection moving on to McKivitz. The only changes to the Oline this year is RT and Burford playing RG full time as opposed to sharing with Brunskill. PFF ranked the 49ers Oline 7th last season. It’s beyond ridiculous Shanahan and Lynch refused to upgrade the O-line in the offseason. 3 of 5 o-line starters for the 49ers are backups on 75% of NFL teams. The 49ers can blame the roster malpractice at the O-line positions in the offseason as to why they lost at the point of attack. But if a schmo like me can see how bad this O-line is but 49es management doesn’t see it then there’s nothing you can do to make them better. After the game I fully expect Shanahan to come up with some lame excuses about needing to be better at the point of the attack. Purdy will get sacked at least 4 times and hopefully he gets back up each time. Likely less than 100 Yards rushing with lower than 3.5 yard avg per carry. I expect the 49ers O-line to get manhandled in this game. The only guy I feel confident can hold his own against the Steelers is Trent Williams. If Brendel is ever 1v1 against Heyward in pass-pro then look for Brendel to get pushed back into Purdy every single time. The Heyward matchup against Brendel or Burford is also a nightmare scenario. If Shanahan calls 7 step drops for Purdy, McKivitz is going to get beaten around the edge and Purdy is going to take a beating. Watt vs McKivitz is probably the key to the game and I just dont see any way McKivitz has the talent to block a guy like Watt. I never have that feeling but the Steelers D-line is a matchup nightmare for the 49ers O-line. Christian Kirk really set the market off.I honestly fear for Brock Purdy in this game. All I know is that in hindsight, I would’ve paid Deebo three-quarters of the way through the season, try to do a contract in-season, for sure. “Hindsight is 20-20, right? And I know nothing, I haven’t talked to John Lynch, Kyle Shanahan or Deebo about it, I have not,” Kittle said, h/t Audcacy. “Deebo deserves to get paid a lot of money, and if they don’t want to give you a lot of money, do what you need to do.” George Kittle speaks on Deebo Samuel contract situationĪdditionally, Kittle did say that if he were the 49ers, he would have negotiated a deal in-season this past year. “It’s the NFL, go get what you deserve dude,” said Kittle, h/t Sports Illustrated. George Kittle shared his thoughts on the Deebo Samuel contract situation □ #49ers || #FTTB ![]() On June 26, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler revealed that Samuel has not officially rescinded his trade request, but did report to team minicamp.Ĥ9ers tight end George Kittle appeared on Barstool Sports’ “Bussin’ with the Boys” podcast, hosted by Taylor Lewan and Will Compton, and said he supports Samuel in his pursuit of getting a new contract.
