49ers offensive line coach Chris Foerster isn’t concerned with how one of the starters has looked through two games so far.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The 49ers\u2019 offensive line hasn\u2019t been the strongest in pass protection so far this season.<\/p>\n

Starting right tackle Colton McKivitz is typically at the forefront of those issues. But he isn\u2019t the only lineman that\u2019s been struggling. Center Jake Brendel is right there with McKivitz. He\u2019s arguably been the worst starter on the offensive line in pass-blocking.<\/p>\n

Pro Football Focus has Brendel graded with a 29.5. That’s the worst grade of all centers in the NFL. He’s a weakness that defenses look to exploit. That won’t cease anytime soon either. Even rookie Dominick Puni is holding his own in pass protection better than Brendel is.<\/p>\n
