If you spent some time trying to come up with the most-maligned unit on the San Francisco 49ers, you'd probably pretty quickly land on the offensive line.
It's spent most of the season in a state of flux, with the players playing next to mainstays like left tackle Trent Williams and right tackle Colton McKivitz taking on something of a travelling chorus line approach, with the various guard and center positions being filled by Dominick Puni, Jake Brendel, Matt Hennessy, and Connor Colby at various times.
There have been signs, however, the O-line was beginning to jell in recent weeks, and Monday's primetime victory over the Carolina Panthers might have been the apex of that journey.
