After Thursday’s game, Kyle Shanahan made it clear that he wanted to clean up some of the issues along the offensive line:
“It’s hard despite the situation or the game or anything like that when you commit that many penalties; we have some of the drops, just some of the sloppy plays, the sacks. Some of the first downs that we committed on third down with some of the penalties, it just wasn’t good enough. And we have to clean that stuff up and make some decisions this week to help it.”
A decision could be not to rely on as much youth up front.
