    This just isn't true.  And we did run mostly gap schemes last year, and actually ran the ball pretty well when we designed to do so.  But as for Wylie, every objective measure has him at average.  Mostly quiet play with a couple of bad losses peppered in each game is what average OT play looks like in the NFL, especially when you're running a ton of shotgun spread where the OL is in a true pass set all game.  Every team racks up pressures from that style of play, including the ones with high end OLs like KC and Detroit. 

     

    Wylie and the OL were scapegoated last season because fans had an agenda about defending Howell when he was struggling, and judging from the posts about Wylie in here, that narrative stuck.  So how about reframing the discussion about Wylie now that fans have a new agenda to defend Adam Peters: after overhauling 70% of the roster, do you really think Peters would have left Wylie as one of the very few untouched starters from last year if he was garbage?  Not only is Wylie keeping his job, they didn't even really draft or sign anyone to push him.  He and Cosmi and McLauren and maybe Daron are the only guys on the entire roster for whom that's the case.

     

    I think I've actually been more critical of Peters than anyone else here, especially when it comes to the Brandon Coleman pick and the missed opportunities for OLs in the draft.  Yet even I think the decision to keep Wylie as a starter is fine.

    We will just have to disagree. Other than Gates, Wiley was the worst player on the offense last year imo.

    Wylie is underrated in the sense that a lot of fans think he's unplayable garbage when he's really just a league average starter.  He's a fourth or fifth linemen on a good line who seems worse than he is because our line is bad and generated so few wins.  For someone to be the most underrated player on a roster, they need to be a good player by a broader standard.  To me that's B-Rob for us.  But I do think there is some question about his scheme fit moving forward.  I like his style a lot better for a gap scheme, and there might be a chance we'll run a zone heavy scheme instead because of Peters's history in SF.  We'll see what Kingsbury installs this year.

    Wylie is hot garbage. I do agree that he would probably be better in gap scheme. But there is nothing average about him at all. He was abysmal last season.

    Brutal start to the season. If we can begin 3-3 we're in good shape.

    Also, having to play a road game on the west coast coming off a road MNF game is absolutely brutal.

    Yeah. When SIP posted the least miles thing earlier in the thread I was thinking to myself when the games are played matters most. Its a tough start. But the rest of the division has to play them all as well.

    Ugh, I am sick and tired of these streaming services taking our ballgames! Soon we will have to pay monthly bills to Hulu, Netflix, paramount, pea****, Amazon, and HBO max just to watch every game. Smh. 

    Yeah. I said the same last season. But that is clearly where it is heading. If you think about what you pay for your cable/directv/dish subscription and start adding in streaming services football is getting expensive.
