Their LG is close to that bad.
I mean maybe they've mercifully benched him and I didn't realize it, but the dude they had starting there most of the year was a turnstile. And that's pretty hard to manage at Guard. With help on either side, merely being wide is usually enough to do a credible job. But by and large, Banks has been getting murdered out there.
That said - anyone can do a good job for a single game. And that's really what this all comes down to. In a single game sample size, a whole lot of stuff means a whole lot of nothing. Maybe Banks plays the game of his life like Wylie did in the SB last season. If so, the 49ers have plenty of life in them.
But if Jones works him out like I think he will, Brock's gonna have a tough tough day.
