The 49ers won in the trenches in Week 5 over the Seahawks, which says something significant about how both units are constructed.
The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Seattle Seahawks 32-29 on the road in Week 5 to improve to a 5-0 record. Writer Peter Panacy argues that despite prior concerns regarding both lines of scrimmage, the performance proved both units have become unexpected strengths under head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Panacy highlights that coordinator Raheem Morris has maximized the defensive line, which recorded five sacks against quarterback Sam Darnold. Additionally, Panacy notes the offensive line effectively protected Brock Purdy and helped Christian McCaffrey average 6.2 yards per carry.
