2019 both Staley and Mcglinchey missed games. Justin Skule and Daniel Brunskill filled in and for the most part the Offense did not look like it missed a beat. Kyle Shanahan is a master at helping his OL and QB

I never considered how much you can wear out pass rushers with PA and rollouts. Also, pretty smart to limit true drop backs for OL. Fascinating stuff. This will definitely change the way I watch the game.

I honestly had not fully considered it either, at least not to this degree nor understood all of the ramifications for OL. This was one of the more informative pieces I've done for myself lately, so it's awesome hearing it had a similar effect for you too. Thanks for the feedback!

I'll second how cool the idea of tiring out / beating up DL with the rollouts and free shots is...it's physical AND psychological warfare. Also LOVED the explanation of how Shanny basically runs 10 mutations of the ozzy. That TE motion w/double team on the EDGE with the FB got me fired up lol
