Shanahan has been known to be pretty good at that sort of thing.

I don't know about the rest. If there's one thing Shanny has succeeded at here it's the offensive weapons, though I'd like to see less of the one-man show that has RG keeping the ball. But anyways, the line was a piece of Swiss cheese pass-blocking. I can't even remember how many times I facepalmed after watching rushers blow by RT (I've decided he'll no longer be referred to by name, cuz it's not deserved). He was so unbelievably bad. Did someone post a stat recently that had him the worst RT in pro football?

The thing is, our interior can be pretty awful pass-blocking too. Hopefully it improves this year based on Kory L getting to full strength.

I can accept we're not going to give RG perfect protection, but we're so bad at this point it's really hard to not focus on the line.
