That makes me wonder, how long does it take for an OL to gel? I really don't know. Are there any statistical facts about this? I personally think it does take time, but it might be an anecdotal sort of thing. Would be fun to take five individually good OL people from different teams and see what happens. All hypothetical of course since it will never happen.Keep in mind, it usually takes a few weeks for an Oline to gel, especially with all the new faces. Obviously, this isnt something we want to continue however.
LargoFin is literally wrong about everything, everytime he posts.
Wish I knew the answer, Ive seen several good teams struggle until week 4 or so. Hopefully we wont take that long, but be prepared. New coaches, new blocking schemes, new techniques, new faces.....That makes me wonder, how long does it take for an OL to gel? I really don't know. Are there any statistical facts about this?

Balance - something that is lacking in the above post - LOLWhile celebrating the good, it’s good to also look critically at what wasn’t good. Oline play was horrible. We have a major problem at Oline and coaching of Oline. This needs to be fixed. Yesterday.
He was hired to be a Head Coach in charge of:How? Go watch highlights of last season. But more importantly, McDaniel was hired as a "running game" guru for the Niners, because our running game sucked. He was not hired to change the "Bama" misdirection offense which we already had.
Decades ago, everyone was amazed that the Colts lost almost all of their preseason games but were perennial playoff contenders.Wish I knew the answer, Ive seen several good teams struggle until week 4 or so.

But, the saving grace, is knowing that we actually have guys qualified to right the ship now.
How long? Your guess is as good as mine.
Not sure any conclusive statistical analysis is possible. Way too many variables like overall experience of newcomers, is it a new system for all, or are there remaining vets in an established system/staff, etc.That makes me wonder, how long does it take for an OL to gel?

Well, that's completely antithetical to McD's stated general philosophy of "establishing the run to buy single high".I'm wondering if the offensive play calling will typically be passing to open up the run, got to get the ball in the hands of our top two play makers more often than not. Then you could sneak in some draw type runs to pick up easy chunk yardage on the ground. Don't know that this team can operate as run first the way it is currently constructed.
Guess we'll see how it goes once the regular season starts. I'll be disappointed if we don't comfortably handle business against the patriots, our offense should be able to put up 20+ pts even if a little rusty. Defense should be able to smother their offense.
Interesting, where do you think our oline stacks up compared to San Francisco's? We have the personnel to be successful with a run first philosophy?Well, that's completely antithetical to McD's stated general philosophy of "establishing the run to buy single high".
I don't think he's just blowing smoke.
Sounds just like the people I've met from up there, they never stop talking.They will just talk even more if he sucks. They'll never stop talking about the Pats. Ugh. Can't stand it.
