Jimmy Garoppolo headlines 49ers duds from putrid loss to Broncos

49ers dud vs. Broncos: Offensive line
In two of San Francisco’s three games, the offensive line surpassed expectations.
Week 3 was the exception. It was not a good outing overall.
The biggest blow, of course, was losing All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams to a high-ankle sprain on the same play where Jimmy Garoppolo committed that safety in the back of the end zone. Second-year swing tackle Jaylon Moore entered in relief and subsequently gave up a sack on his first pass set thereafter, being benched in favor of Colton McKivitz from that point onward.
Pressures Allowed, Week 3, PFF:
— Akash Anavarathan (@akashanav) September 26, 2022
1. Spencer Burford, 3
2. Mike McGlinchey, 3
3. Jaylon Moore, 2 (4 pass snaps)
4. Colton McKivitz, 1
5. Aaron Banks, 1#49ers gave up 12 pressures as a team, after only giving up 2 last week. Going to be tough without Trent Williams too.
Right tackle Mike McGlinchey, often overworked by Broncos EDGEs Bradley Chubb and Randy Gregory, was also flagged for a holding call, while rookie right guard Spencer Burford was flagged twice and surrendered three pressures, too, marking his worst game as a pro yet.
And center Jake Brendel botched a snap with Garoppolo that ended up being fumbled? Yeah, Denver recovering that miscue hurt matters a lot.
