That’s not what I saw. I saw an online grossly overmatched in pass blocking and run blocking in niners game. It was the #1 issue for me going into this year.
just wasnt in the cards. Glad they took mazi.
Everyone struggled against the Niners. The offense moved the ball well enough before Pollard went down, and fell apart when Lamb was the only real threat left.
I'm not hopeful that they'll be a top unit this year, but the best 5, being Smith, Smith, Biadasz, Martin, and Steele are adequate to compete against the best. Depth is, and has been the problem. They need to bring in another solid veteran. Whether it 's through free agency, or finding a viable trade partner, I dont really care. I'm not confident in the current lineup, but maybe the coaches see it differently.
IOL and RB were my top priorities going into the draft and I don't feel either were properly addressed. I loved Deuce in college, but it's risky business leaning on him if Pollard isn't right to start the year. I wouldn't consider him fragile at all at the collegiate level, but we don't know how his small frame will hold up in the NFL. Even still, big strides were made on defense, and I'm hopeful that unit can carry the offense if and when they do struggle against the top defenses in the league.
