Richard Sherman didn’t mince words when talking about the San Francisco 49ers’ offensive line. The former All-Pro cornerback went straight at the unit’s flaws, saying their poor execution has become one of the team’s biggest problems.

“The interior offensive line was the issue late in the game [vs Buccaneers],” Sherman said. “I knew that would be the Achilles heel for this team. It’s not just on the pass protection standpoint—it’s ridiculous on plays that are set up successfully.”

Sherman pointed to multiple moments where simple blocks could’ve changed the outcome. “You got guys in space and all you have to do is block your guy. Get in his way and let Christian McCaffrey do his work,” he said. “And you can’t even do that, and that’s where it starts to become devastating to this offense.”
