Description: Red and Gold til I'm Dead and Cold
Truly the doldrums where it comes to football news. I guess the big excitement is Brock Purdy got engaged. Woo hoo. Hope the kid has a bright future as the latest stud 49er quarterback, but this team seems to have very persistent problems keeping their quarterback upright. That the 49ers were SO successful with their 3rd string, 262nd, and last pick in the draft, is pretty fucking amazing. Trey Lance of course had one game in a hurricane, and one quarter where he was used like Ken Willard, Jimmy G was fine
Which brings me to the issue of beefing up the O line. For all intents and purposes, they did little but get weaker at right tackle as the 49ers didn’t want to pay Mike McGlinchey for his fair to middling pass blocking, and instead left that to Colton McKivitz. And they let Daniel Brunskill go in free agency.
McKivitz is promising as a pass blocker, and his only start was against the fairly fierce LA Rams. He graded out at a solid 69.4 grade in his 71 plays last season, and 84.6 in the LA start. But, after Trent Williams and KcKivitz, we have bupkis. Backups Jaylon Moore and Matt Pryor have not shown anything resembling consistent pay.
