Klay Kubiak discusses the 49ers left guard competition and who will play
The 49ers will have multiple bodies active on game day capable of playing left guard
Santa Clara, CA - June 3: San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak addressed the media regarding the left guard competition. He acknowledged the "very difficult challenge" of preparing for defensive ends Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett. Kubiak stated that the team will choose players based on who they feel most comfortable with and who has performed best during the camp.
Options for the position include Carver Willis, Connor Colby, and potentially Jarrett Patterson, although Patterson is Jake Brendel's backup. Colby may rotate in if Willis appears overwhelmed. The team could assist Willis by implementing specific protection schemes or assigning more responsibilities to Brendel. Willis and Colby, despite being inexperienced, are above-average athletes who are likely to excel in 1-on-1 situations. The 49ers will soon determine which player is best suited to handle the task at hand.
