The 49ers really need some offensive line help this offseason. Perhaps bringing in a familiar player like Laken Tomlinson could interest them.

00:00 The Jets
00:02 The Jets have released Lakin Tomlinson should the 49ers resign him I
00:07 Wouldn't be surprised if they do
00:10 They're not gonna draft the right guard in the first round, but it's pretty clear that the Niners are
00:16 scapegoating that position for the loss
00:19 Obviously, they're scapegoating Steve Wilks - he's already gone
00:22 but
00:25 When asked what happened on the fateful final play in overtime third and four from the nine
00:29 Shannon said it himself. There was a mix-up in the interior the offensive line
00:33 Because John Feliciano opened his mouth on Twitter. We know that the mix-up was
00:38 Spencer Burford he slid left should have slid right I
00:42 Contend that no matter where he slid there was gonna be an unblocked rusher and the play was gonna get blown up
00:47 but it doesn't matter what I say it matters what Kyle says and
00:51 he's blamed Spencer Burford and once he has it in his mind that someone's at fault for ruining his legacy and preventing him from
00:58 Being a champion guys done
01:01 so I wouldn't be surprised if
01:04 They bring in Lakin Tomlinson now, he's a left guard at this point in his career
01:10 Maybe he'd be willing to play right guard for the 49ers. I could see it happening. He had his best years here
01:15 He may want to retire out here. He got paid out here
01:21 Come back and play right guard
01:22 I know it's not necessarily your preferred position
01:25 But you're 31 years old now and not a lot of teams are gonna be knocking down your door to be a franchise left guard
01:31 for them
01:32 So maybe this is the best option for Lakin and the best option for the 49ers and I think at this point in his career
01:36 It's not even that clear how good Lakin Tomlinson is anymore. It's not like the Jets were dying to keep him
01:42 His PFF grade was terrible for whatever that's worth
01:46 So they could bring him in and pay him. I don't know a few million dollars
01:51 Let him compete with Spencer Burford and chances are Lakin Tomlinson a win. That seems like a fair competition
01:56 And a better idea than spending a first-round pick on an interior offense alignment and
02:04 Stashing him at right guard and then moving him to center one day
02:06 That's kind of scary unless that guy's a freaking stud
02:10 Because I think you get someone you don't want to be pigeonholed into a need in round one
02:17 We have to get a right guard. No, you don't get a tackle
02:21 you
02:23 Get a tight end
02:25 So I think Lakin Tomlinson makes sense
02:28 I wouldn't be surprised if the Niners went out and signed him and he does have to be okay with moving to right guard
02:32 And again at this point in his career if the money's right he's had success here. He knows the offensive line coach. Why not?
02:38 Challenge yourself Lakin play right guard
