I don't know if we can do anything about that this year because we are thin at corner, but he shouldn't be starting next year. The next is Andre Smith. Why not sit him or rotate him heavily with Ogbuehi? Ogbuehi is a first round draft pick. Give him a shot. At the very least, DO NOT re-sign him next year. The third is Russell Bodine. IMO they need to fix the line now by putting someone else at Center. Since they won't do that, I hope they at least consider finding another Center next year.

? IMO the line has been a liability over the past umpteen years and something needs to change. I am sick of never seeing the line play up or beyond their potential and also play better than a top tier D-line. They play well against the bottom tier lines but are constantly out match on the top tier. Contrary to Hobnob, the Rams and 49ers D-line are not top tier lines. You all want to scream and blame the RB, QB or WR, but the true liability is the line. The line is soft and has no fight!!
