- In 2020, the 49ers traded DeForest Buckner away one month before trading for Trent Williams. So those two stalwarts never got to be teammates — until now
- Looks like everyone is on the Quenton Nelson train now after we talked about it a couple days ago. Groupthink will always be a thing, just have to lead it in the right direction 😂 · Quoting David Lombardi: Can we really rule out 49ers' interest in Quenton Nelson just because guard hasn't been a position of massive investment in the past? I'm not so sure. LG has, very clearly, been the one questionable position on the OL. Connor Colby has done well in the run game but ranks last of all qualifying guards in pass-block efficiency, having allowed 15 pressures already this season. Nelson is a perennial All-Pro still in his prime. Elite pass- and run-blocking metrics that could pair monstrously well with Trent Williams (and some George Kittle combo blocks) on the left side of the O-line.

Might Nelson's potential availability on the trade market tempt the 49ers to push their O-line, already ranked #3 in cumulative pass-blocking efficiency, to stratospheric levels?…

- Oct 24 David Lombardi (X) Yup. You can't watch Mike Evans hobble off after most big catches vs fresh player a decade younger than him and think peak athleticism is absolutely necessary for NFL success. Guys like Evans and Trent Williams understand the geometric nuances that win. Virtuosos (and yes Trent also still very athletic) · Quoting SACKMAN LIVES: I was in DISBELIEF when I saw A 38 Year old Trent Williams Putting Myles Garret in Jail. For $208M ? Here i am after TEARING BOTH Achilles at 29 vs Trent at 29 (SAME AGE) Athletic ability doesn’t matter if u don’t understand RUSG angles Hand placement get off and BODY LEAN!

- Oct 20 David Lombardi (X) Trent Williams: "The front office did their job. I'm super happy with what they did in the draft." It appears that John Lynch and Co. knocked the 2026 draft out of the park. Beyond that, 2024 and 2025 picks are shining, too. So much for the discourse!
- Oct 20 David Lombardi (X) The top-graded pass blocker in football is 38 years old. Trent Williams didn't miss a single camp practice this year. Williams even gave his younger teammates grief when they missed practices due to minor injuries while he was out there every day. #71 seems to be on a mission

- Eight years after unsuccessfully trying to trade for Khalil Mack, will the #49ers try again? George Kittle hopes so, but doesn't know. (He says Trent Williams might have the answer)
- It’s not a question of whether or not George Kittle is a Hall of Famer. It’s a question of whether or not George Kittle ends up as the greatest tight end of all time. (Trent Williams agrees with this and he knows more about football than you)

The 49ers allowed 10 pressures against their interior line (6 vs Connor Colby) but their tackles allowed only 1 combined pressure against the Seahawks. Trent Williams delivered a clean sheet.
Most importantly, Brock Purdy somehow managed a generally clean game behind Seattle's relentless interior rush — all while severely shorthanded outside. But the 49ers did have Mike Evans

- Ya I am not sure where that revisionist history is coming from. Plus Trent Williams was on one leg. But mainly the 49ers were so hurt/unavailable at WR that they had no separation ability left. The only correct take on 2025 is that it was borderline miraculous 49ers won 13 games · Quoting Mike: New narrative… “The 49ers offense was completely healthy in the playoffs…” Yeah, if you don’t include them missing their 30 million dollar WR1, their Hall of Fame TE, and their WR2 who was playing with 1 stable knee, that still hasn’t healed 😂 ONLY your Top 3 options Purdy

- Oct 5 David Lombardi (X) Trent Williams thinks is the best version of Deebo Samuel ever. "We anticipated this. We knew Deebo was coming back with a vengeance. This offseason was the first time in his career when he was doubted. ... Him having to feel that doubt for the first time lit a fire under him."
