This is one of my favorite articles to read each year even though I tend to disagree with player rankings (we all have an opinion of where our players stand). One of the spots I have my largest difference in opinion from his rankings is in our offensive line. I am a huge believer that every offense is only as good as the men who protect it. While I rank Joe Staley well above average, I am not near as high on the rest of the unit. I do believe that Mike Mcglinchey is good and will only improve. This is necessary as his pass protection last season showed the same inefficiencies he had in college. Based off my very inaccurate eye test, I have believed our line to be very average overall. This opinion was reinforced in the comments section of the post as others believe we way overvalue our own personnel as well.While searching for the links this morning I came upon an article that reinforces some of Reasonable Opinion’s rankings I didn’t believe to be correct.The article talked about the 4 players who’ll benefit the most from Garoppolo’s return. The list as expected when you read the title includes a few receivers and run blocking offensive lineman. Jimmy G’s quick release should aid these run blockers. While we have posted and commented non-stop over the last few months of the difference that occurs when Jimmy G is behind the line, it is still surprising to see the stats even if only based on a small sample size. The first name on the list was Laken Tomlinson and his graded performance with Jimmy was the largest surprise in comparison to my eyes.Tomlinson graded out as 33rd out of 63 personnel with a 66.4 grade in 2017 per Pro Football Focus. In 2018 he was ranked as the 26th offensive guard. This is exactly what my eyes told me. He was average. However, if you take the small sample size from the last five games of 2017, Tomlinson graded out as a top 10 guard in the NFL. Our pass protection grade for the offensive line which was 14th for the 2017 season was ranked 3rd during the last five games. Now we are a year removed from these stats and we can discuss/dispute the differences between today and then. We can talk about the lack of tape that teams had on Garoppolo for those five games. We can throw out the counterpoints of now having Mcglinchey on the line or the fact we now have better offensive weapons to get the ball to. However, I say let’s take a minute and think who we have that will most benefit from having the 2017 version of Jimmy G behind the line. Also, who’s stats will be lessened by his appearance?

Using Warren Sharp’s football stats, the 49ers ranked 4th in the NFL in explosive run plays (runs of 10 or more yards) and 3rd in the NFL in explosive pass plays (pass plays of 15 or more yards) in 2018. That’s the genius of Head Coach Kyle Shanahan. He can scheme you, and I open if he had to. You can’t ignore the value that the players bring, either. Mark Saltveit of NN gives credit to Kyle Juszczyk. The 49ers added a handful of weapons. I still think there will be a slight regression in explosive plays next year. The offense will be better overall, and that’s what matters.Where the offense must improveWe’ve talked about the issues on third down and in the red zone. Those will improve with Jimmy Garoppolo under center. The 49ers must protect the ball in 2019. Last year the offense couldn’t get out of their own way. The Niners were 31st in turnovers per drive in 2018. You’d think their fumble luck won’t be as bad this upcoming season. The offense was seemed to give away the ball at the most inopportune times a season ago.While some may be concerned with Garoppolo throwing eight interceptions in eight starts, this is where PFF offers value.The process is right. When that’s the case, the numbers tend to even themselves out when there’s a bigger sample size. You can move the ball up and down the field as much as you want. If you can’t take care of the ball, it doesn’t matter. This is why the 49ers were only 20th in the league in points per drive. They couldn’t take care of the ball. Added weapons, health at QB Frank Gore Color Rush Jersey , and one of the best play-callers in the NFL should fix a lot of that.Help from the special teamsNot trying to put it all on the special teams, some of this may be attributed to the other two phases, but the 49ers were dead last in starting field position last year. Starting at the 25-yard line, compared to the New Orleans Saints, who started at the 31-yard line. Again, that’s an average. The Texans, the Rams, Vikings, and Chiefs round out the top five. Field position matters.I wonder if the second-round pick Deebo Samuel will get a crack at returning kicks. There’s an argument about not wanting certain skill players returning punts and kicks. I’m in the camp that you want to get your best player the ball as many times as you can. If that is indeed Samuel, I’d have no issue returning kicks. In a sport as physical and violent as football https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Bradley-Pinion-Jersey , injuries are inevitable. The goal isn’t to improve your starting field position; it’s to maximize it. If Samuel gives you the best chance, let him return kicks. That’ll work itself out during training camp.QB driven leagueThis graphic was shared with me by Steve Palazzolo of PFF.Again, the sample size isn’t what you’d like it to be, but when Garoppolo has been on the field, he’s performed. Not enough is made about a quarterback being able to play from a clean pocket. That’s what they’ll be playing from about 65% of the time. If Garoppolo can take care of the ball, and continue to play as he has been, the 49ers have a chance to do some damage on offense in 2019.
