Can we at least have some agreement that we have possible viable youth on this OL gelling potentially.
Just for starters it's nice to have youth like Hoffman and Beebe developing some much-needed strength inside at C and that is already head and shoulders better than when Badaiaz was in there.
This OL has some serious growing to do but at least we have some young talent growing together, this will be the franchise strong suit.
I'm just trying to look at this roster and find some area of potential strength and I believe that this OL has the ability to become a top unit in 2025.
Offline this Offline that, all these years, all we have done here is blah blah blah about the offline.
So may I ask what we have done the last 10 seasons with the top 5 offlines we have had?
NADA...........2 playoff wins!
How about asking for some playmakers who can do the job (SCORE POINTS) and draft offline men in the 3rd and 4th rounds, couching them up instead of wasting our top picks again and again for offline men?

That’s a lot of movement.

Indeed, and I understand, but at the very least we have invested into half of the trenches at this point.

Do tell us all now just which players in the draft do YOU go for? Get on record now...

Good point.

Solari appears to be good at developing young players, but his run blocking scheme is miles below the Kyle Shanahan type run blocking scheme.
To be fair though 90% of the league is miles below Kyle Shanahan in that department. Its like moving on from every offensive lineman you have because they aren't Larry Allen. I could watch hours of 49ers run game tape and not get bored.

Kyle Shanahan would have won vs the Cowboys in the playoffs even if the teams swapped QBs.

Don't think its miles behind but is definitely a few blocking receivers down field behind.

Nail on head. I totally agree. And Christian McCaffery is a special talent no doubt. But even so, Mason Jordan at the RB2 and even Isaac Guerendo at the RB3 just continue to churn away as well not showing much drop off with Shanahan's well orchestrated group of 5 blockers doing what they do.

Man, what I would give for that kind of running game. OR a coach that knew how to teach it in Dallas.

If Hoffman & Bass are starters that’s great . It does eat into the depth that basically is Asim Richards at this point and ? I don’t consider Edoga depth for 2025 . They drafted Thomas late last draft he went IR almost immediately maybe 2025 he shows something .

Waletzco rarely plays not sure what they think of him not much if Edoga is higher on depth chart . The starting unit nice young its depth that’s a question . Was hoping an OL would not need to be drafted but it probably makes sense to draft at least one a year with injuries and such.

Yes indeed, and please tell these ears that are wide open who and how?
I have no idea, Quinn was my choice. But I promise MM is gone, you will never win a big game with a undisciplined team and McCarthy has never produced ONE. Not to mention his outdated system and play calling.
I honestly think he might keep Zimmer and hire KM as HC. If Zimmer handles the discipline and KM the offense it MIGHT work. I believe Jerry feels KM is the only hope for Dak.
