Pass protection seemed really solid yesterday.

I know there were a few sacks, but it felt like Russell had more than enough time to throw nearly every drive. What's arguably more important is that Russell seemed a lot more confident in his protection, and seemed decisive in his rollouts, scrambles, and throws. Redzone is clearly an issue, particularly run-blocking inside the 5 yard line, but overall the OL played pretty well against a great Niners defense.

Lemuel making the calls at center is why.

I'm convinced having a veteran center that knows what he's doing is imperative in keeping this line above average.

The o-line hasn't been great at times, that's for sure. but one guy that I'm happy with is Britt. he's blown some plays and stuff but for a rookie who wasn't highly touted, he's played as well as many first and second round tackles have in recent years.

Agreed having a center who can make the right calls is huge.

For real. Look at the 'top tackles' that have been taken over the last 5-6 years, and a lot of them have flamed out entirely.

SF rarely blitzes. When they do they are pretty obvious with it.

I thought Wilson made some brilliant escapes, but unlike vs AZ, he had a lot more space to make his escapes in. I didn't see masterful protection, just a lot of play action and bootlegs.

I agree but did think they did a better job than they did against AZ.

BINGO!
