Forge and N4L are back to talk about the future of the 49ers offensive line. On the docket: How important is Trent Williams' re-signing (spoiler: a lot)?

After briefly discussing the 49ers loss to the Saints and the promising game of rookies Javon Kinlaw and Brandon Aiyuk, the duo set their sights on the future of the running back and tight end position.
