O-line Still the Major Concern?

[LeveeBreak]

I'd say no at this point. Last pre-season, you could tell they had issues. They've been dominant this game, especially 1's on 1's.

Not saying don't pay attention to it...real games are for real...but concern level isn't defcon 1.

Definitely looking hopeful. The opening two drives were solid all around. Loving the running game.

As much as I am loving what I’m seeing so far this preseason, I still know we won’t know anything until the games count. But I’ll enjoy what this offense is showing us

I hear ya...but their preseason performance is passing the sniff test...the stench was strong in 2024.

Not counting chickens before...but the scheme is just comparitively more polished for an NFL line. I can say for near certain, they will be much improved from last year. Not predicting top 10 at this point, but not ruling it out. IMO, last year's inadequate scheme & coaching are glaring.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m feeling all those things too and no matter what at the very least I know our OC gets it and our running attack will at least look like a professional unit. I’ve looked forward to this for a few years now. I can’t wait to see them when things start for real.

But we will know pretty damn quick if we are any good. Niners right out of the gate.

I cannot wait!

Feeling hopeful about the oline but its vanilla preseason. Let's see what happens when teams scheme and use stunts etc

Vanilla preseason didn't prevent our oline from looking putrid during last year's preseason games

 

[cymatica]

All I know is that I haven't seen the oline look this organized and disciplined in a long time.

Nah...this is a different, more effective line. I'm confident this is a better line...not overconfident they will be top 10...yet.

Experienced coaching matters.

Dickerson was a first year O-line coach and the results showed.

Huff was a first year O-line coach at the NFL level and it showed.

Benton knows what he's doing.
