O-line question

I re-watched the 49er game and noticed that our O-line did extremely well in pass protection, and horribly in run-blocking. How can that be? Our entire line is composed of guys known for being solid run blockers but only so-so pass blockers. One would think we'd have the exact opposite problem. Right?

I think maybe Haslet and Co worked so hard on pass protection during TC that maybe they neglected run blocking. I believe that if you neglect something at practice, even if its one of your strengths, it will show up on Sunday.

Or it might be that our O-line coach just sucks.
