Comparing Offensive Lines

I believe that a real strength of the San Francisco 49ers is in their offensive line which they combine with the blocking skills of TE George Kittle and FB Kyle Juszczyk to make their offense even better.

The Kansas City Chiefs offensive line strength is in pass blocking.

Footballoutsiders.com ranks the 49ers run blocking as 8th in the NFL. Their pass blocking is rated at 15th for the NFL regular season and they have given up 36 sacks. In comparison, KC is ranked 28th in run blocking and 4th in pass blocking, while giving up 25 sacks.

The Kansas City Chiefs current roster has 10 offensive linemen on it.

San Francisco 49ers currently has 7 offensive linemen on it.

LT #74 Joe Staley, Age 35, 6-5,295, Central Michigan
LG #75 Laken Tomlinson, Age 27, 6-3, 312, Duke
C #63 Ben Garland, Age 31, 6-5, 308, Air Force. Ben became the starting Center after Weston Richburg went down week 13.
RG #68 Mike Person, Age 31, 6-4, 300, Montana State
RT #69 Mike McGlinchey, Age 25, 6-8, 315, Notre Dame
Bench T #67 Justin Skule, Age 23, 6-6, 318, Vanderbilt
Bench G #60 Daniel Brunskill, Age 25, 6-5, 300, San Diego State

Like the Chiefs, the 49ers five OL starters, have played almost all of the offensive snaps for the 2 playoff gamess.

During the regular season the 49ers were 2nd in the NFL in running back carries with 427. Their run direction distribution is pretty even with 12% Left End, 15% Left Tackle, 48% Mid Guard, 15% Right Tackle, and 11% Right End. San Francisco has their most success running around Left End. I assume the TE and FB help this stat.

The Chiefs were 28th in running back carries with 312. Their run direction distribution is 14% Left End, 8% Left Tackle, 55% Mid Guard, 9% Right Tackle, and 13% Right End. The Chiefs are 32nd in the NFL with success running at Left Tackle. They are actually 1st in success when running at the Right Tackle.

For the playoffs San Francisco has increased the workload of their FB Kyle Juszczyk and TE George Kittle with Kittle in on over 96% of offensive snaps and Juszczyk at around 72% of offensive snaps. Part of that may be the nature of both playoff games, but their blocking skills does add to the efficiency of the offensive line.

Obviously the 49ers hope to see their strong running game dominate while the Chiefs hope to blow them away with their passing game.

Eric Fisher was out week 3 through week 10 so that helps account for some of the poor stats at LT for the season.

This game will come down to the following:

Can KC stop the run and force Mahomes vs Jimmy G?

Can SF stop the pass and disrupt Andy's gameplan?

[tredadda]

SF is legit good. They wouldn’t be in the SB if they weren’t. But this is still a team that lost to Baltimore (who we beat), Atlanta (not sure how), and Seattle. They were literally inches from being the #5 seed as well. They are beatable and this team can do it. They just need to see what Seattle did so well and try to mimic that while letting the best QB in football do what he does best.

Offensively, both teams are pretty similar from a stats perspective. Both are top 6 in YPG. SF has 1 more minute average TOP - but that doesn't really matter because KC strikes so quickly half the time. Chiefs have a better passing YPG average by about 50 yards and SF has a better rushing YPG average, again by about 50 yards.

On paper SF has the better defense - total YAPG (#2 compared to #17), passing YAPG (#1 compared to #8) and better rushing YAPG (17 compared to #26). Both are nearly identical at points allowed PG at 19.4 (SF) and 19.2 (KC).

The main stat that jumped out to me was the rushing defense for both teams - both rank in the bottom half of the league, allowing 112 and 128 yards respectively. Neither team has a stud workhorse RB, but they both have good options. Mahomes did have 3 fewer rushing attempts than Jimmy G, but had 4X the yards and 1 more TD (2 vs 1).

To me, the big swing in this game will be the run games as I think that's where both defenses have their greatest vulnerabilities. And, it will be interesting to see how Shanahan and Reid use their trickery to exploit these matchups in the ground game. This is where the game will be won.

Mahomes was 7th in the league averaging about 288 YPG passing and Jimmy G was 19th at 249 YPG passing. Both about equal on TDs, but Jimmy G was clearly the worst with INTs (more than double) and he was sacked twice as much, although Mahomes did miss nearly 3 games. Jimmy G also had 10 fumbles, losing 5 while Mahomes had 3, losing 2.

All in all, should be a fun game to watch - maybe slow early, but I think it pops just before halftime. Anything can happen, but I think when it's over... 37-27, Chiefs. I adjusted my earlier score... but I think KC wins by 10 or 17 points.

Not a reverse mojo thing by any means. I have zero desire to see SF win a SB. I've always said that I hope you guys get to see your team win it one day, and quite honestly... never really expected it to happen. But, hey - you've got the QB now and that team is explosive. You all have dealt with a lot of bullsh through the years... enjoy the ride and I hope it ends well for you.

Best of luck.

I don't see the KC run game being that important. I don't watch it much, but with the SF linebacker speed, I think the run game will be largely a non-factor, except for the one-off play where KC runs on an expected passing down. In my view, the game comes down to 2 factors. First, SF needs to establish a run game to keep its defense off the field and fresh. Second, SF needs to get consistent pressure on Mahomes using its 4 down linemen and no blitz. If SF can't do the first, their d-line will wear down as the game progresses, and they won't be able to do the second, and Mahomes will pick SF's relatively slow defensive secondary apart. If SF is able to run the ball, and keep their D-line fresh, it's still a close game, because Mahomes will have magic down the stretch in a close game.

He got better as the season went on. Ball security early was atrocious.

Atlanta was hurt the first half of the season. The second half they got healthy and went 6-2. Most people don't realize that the Hawks' season was a tale of two halves. Next year they should be dangerous.

[Megatron96]

The Niners scoring efficiency through the last six games per possession averages out to about 38%. And with one exception (SEA) they're giving their opponents at least 10 possessions. The Niners average 4 punts a game.

They look an awful lot like TEN. The one difference I noted was that against LAR and NOS, teams that have better offenses and defenses, they gave up more possessions. 13 and 12 respectively.

They're going to give Andy and Pat at least 11 possessions.

And we score at around 65% per possession.

That's a good perspective as well...

Here's a stat, the Chiefs were ninety feet from going to the SB LAST year.

Where was SF?
