The way the 49ers paid attention to the WR position in the draft, and even drafting Isaac Guerendo, a speedy pass-catching RB, who would seem to be a niightmare matchup for any linebacker out there, makes me think Shanahan may be looking to open up the passing game more.

But (this is always my big but) what have they done to improve the pass blocking? As the 49ers have shown, they can score points and they can defend. But their biggest losses in the past 6 seasons have all come at the offensive line failing when they need them most. Sure, there are other factors, but our pass blocking has graded out usually around 18th. And yeah we drafted a couple guys that should work out, but I wanted a better RT.

I’d love to see them be more aggressive, even with McCaffrey, Mitchell, and Deebo as running threats, but they have to do something to improve the O line. This has been the soapbox that I’ve been camped on for a while. Design more roll-outs. Mainly to the left side. Because McKivitz isn’t all that good at pass pro. A better RT would give the roll-right play more effectiveness as you look at the last 400 roll-right plays, and the LDE is usually unblocked and in Purdy’s face within 2 seconds.

Anyhow, that’s my take on things.
