Courtesy of PFF:

Smith 46th out of 70 tackles
Free 60th out of 70 tackles
Livings 16th out of 79 guards
Bern 45th out of 79 guards (this one has really improved)
Cook 24th out of 36 centers


The line is 22nd in the NFL in pass blocking efficiency.

I thought Smith would be better than he is by now but the kid is young and has never really played the position

You thought an offensive lineman drafted by us would be any good?

We're stuck with Free because of his contract.

And I agree that Smith will be fine.

Free is awful. We can't survive with him.

Free played really well at RT in place of Colombo. I'm not sure what's going on.

I would hate to think he played for this big contract that he knew was coming and then mailed it in.

It's nice to see that everyone has come around on Free.

He's been garbage from the word go. He looked decent on a line full of absolute stiffs and has beens.

but sheik, he blocked that guy 30 yards down field, explain that one. GFY.

I stand corrected. MOST of us have come around.

I thought he was really solid in place of Colombo. He actually played better than Colombo. He was finishing blocks and then going downfield and leveling people.

When's the last time we saw A competent RT?

It's been a long time.

but, u had people talking up free like he was a piece you could build around. Guys like Dbair refused to acknowledge the offensive line was shitty. Even the year the SB was in the new stadium, you had people believing we were going to play in it. The line was obviously the worst unit on the team, and common sense should tell you, you're only as good as your weakest link.

That being said, a guy that thought the line was good or serviceable, I could see why he would think Free might be something special. But, if you looked at the line and saw shit all he way across, then some young hustle guy at RT, you oughta be able to tell the difference between good, or best of the worst.

I disagree. I thought Free had a really good year at RT in place of Colombo.

Now he sucks. Coincidentally, it's right after he signed his contract.

I'd disagree on Colombo being great. I liked his attitude a lot. He wasn't anything more than average. Great story, but he was a stiff.

I thought his attitude made him great. He was a solid starter. Brought attitude to the team. I won't forget him shutting down Julius Peppers and them getting into a few times during the game. He punched him right in the facemask and snapped his head back.
