Brian Allen obviously has value in the mental aspect which we can only learn about second hand. the o-line last year was strong across the board in pass blocking. But as Kyle Shanahan has reportedly said, any semi-competent pro should be able to pass block, the separation is in the run blocking. and in that area, the weakness and slowness of all three interior lineman was glaringly obvious. They are neither strong enough to move defenders or agile enough to hit their spots while moving. Glad Corbett is gone, he is replacement level at best. As is Edwards. Allen can get a pass in that he. Is smart, and the center position is least influential in being exposed. I fear next year will be much the same for the running game. 1 yard, 2 yards, -3 yards, rinse, repeat. I prefer we throw it 50 times a game and dare them to stop it consistently. It is what it is. Play to your strengths. Stubbornness almost cost us the super bowl. Get over this nonsense “stick with the run” when you simply cannot do it. JMO
