The Impact of 1st-Round Offensive Linemen: III. What About (a Lack of) Continuity?
Welcome back for Part 3 of my series on how the drafting of Anthony Davis and Mike Iupati might impact the 49ers' statistics in 2010 (and beyond). Just to recap, Part 1 and Part 2 basically came to the same conclusion: Davis and Iupati are likely to be develop into good NFL players fairly quickly,...
The Impact of 1st-Round Offensive Linemen: II. A World of Difference
READER ADVISORY: Explicit statistical content.On Monday, in Part 1 of this series, I outlined the recent NFL history of drafting OLs in the 1st round.

In reality it might be better as a statistical discussion, but I just wanted to at least get the ball rolling...or at...
49ers-Bills Statistical Preview: In the Trenches
This week, the 49ers travel to the Eastern time zone to face the Bills. I've talked previously about how horrible the Niners have been in east-of-the-Mississippi games since Mike Nolan took the reins as head coach (1-12, outscored by 15.7 ppg), so there's no need to beat the proverbial dead horse...
