Hope he is 100% and ready or I would rather have Larson due to the quality of opponent. I assume he is though or we wouldnt be starting him.

Need his to keep the run game going and prevent them from pinned back their ears and coming for Palmer.

I would normally agree with this, but the Rams offensive line is so physical, that I think Iupati at 75% will be of better use than Larson. Iupati has about 30+ pounds on Larson, and it will be needed.

I have too many memories of our OC and OG getting blasted into the backfield by the Rams defensive line.

I agree I just worry about leverage strength with a sore knee.

I never understood this train of thought... If the player 1st and the doctors second day he's ready then you play.. Why the hesitancy??

Again I am all for it for this game I just want to make sure that guy who is strongest is playing. I'm not worried about him getting reinjured I'm worried about him being as strong as possible. I have faith the coaching staff thinks he is or else they wouldn't be putting them in

Nice! Lets do this. Cant wait to see this Oline progress the next few weeks into a top flight run game. There is no reason it shouldnt be.

Let's just play a 2 TE set with no TEs & instead have 7 Offensive Lineman out there. Move the tackles into the TE spots, add Larsen & Watford as guards in the tackle spots. Basically a goal-line formation used anywhere on the field.

Gonna be real interesting to see this offensive line against the best D line in football. I'm honestly excited as I've been in a long time.

Donald lines up on both sides. Interesting to watch film of him. One of the keys to his success is the incredible reaction time he has to the snap. He is always the first defensive lineman moving and by a wide margin. It really makes him hard to block especially in slightly delayed cross blocking patterns.

Actually, a silent count might actually help to keep him from jumping so early. My guess is that he is going to line up on Sendlein all day.

Can't wait. Although Larsen has played well. He deserves credit.

Niners have looked like a mess without him.

Larsen is inactive. Looks like he is a healthy scratch. The Cardinals chose A.Q. Shipley as their backup center/guard.

Iupati looked like dog poop yesterday. Shows what I know.
