Dolphins O-line falters again as 49ers expose pass protection

Through two games, Miami’s upgraded O-line has failed to secure protection, surrendering nine sacks (league-leading) and posting poor pass-blocking grades for most blockers against the 49ers, with Austin Jackson singled out and others like Kadyn Proctor and Jonah Savaiinaea also graded poorly. Brewer was a relative bright spot in run blocking, while De’Von Achane’s output remained below his usual pace at about 3.5 yards per carry. Malik Willis showed efficiency when clean but struggled under pressure and facing blitzes.
