After the jump I've posted Johnson's transcript. In it he discusses plenty about Troy Smith, as well as the 49ers tight ends and the Rams blitzing defense. The best question and answer has to be this one:
Some folks are not convinced one or both of them will ever be good, but I think they're both showing improvement. We don't know whether they'll turn into rocks of the offensive line, but it's too early to say they definitely will not. Coach Johnson spoke first about [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] and Davis' development thus far (entire transcript after the jump):
On whether you talk about getting Anthony Davis more help on his side:
"I think they're getting better,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they're becoming more comfortable. I think our offensive line is executing better as a group and we are becoming a more physical football team. I think our pad level is coming down and we're doing a little better job individually one on one pass blocking, and I think we're not having some of the misses that we had earlier in the season. It's going to be another tough test this week, but I think they're getting better as a group overall as an offensive line."
On how far G [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] [/u]and T Anthony Davis have come along:
Two weeks ago the offensive line faced a Broncos squad that is near the bottom of the league in sacks and adjusted sacks rate. They faced a Rams line that is in the top third of both categories in the NFL. This weekend will be important not only for the much-needed win we'd like to see, but also because we can see if the offensive line is developing, or if the week eight performance was more due to the ineptitude of the Broncos.

49ers-Rams: Mike Johnson On The Offensive Line and Rams Pass Rush
"He's on an island, but that's what the tackle business is in the NFL. You can keep help in, but then you play teams like the Denver Broncos and you play teams like the St. Louis Rams and the more people you keep in the more people they bring, and it's a catch-22. Sometimes you have to allow people to get out to give the quarterback quick outlets so that he can throw the ball quickly in case they do get beat, or you have a blitz where they bring one more than you can protect."

Earlier this morning I put up a post discussing the Rams pass rush and how the 49ers and their offensive line would have to deal with it, or at least what they might expect to see. After today's walk through in Santa Clara, 49ers offensive coordinator Mike Johnson spoke with the media and addressed the Rams pass rush and the 49ers offensive line. The o-line has rookies in [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] and Anthony Davis who have had plenty of ups and downs in this their rookie seasons.
