SANTA CLARA – The 49ers are going with the five offensive linemen who were on the field during the best drive the first-team offense put together through three exhibition games.
It also happened to be the only time the 49ers had those five linemen together on the field at the same time.
The surprise is that Jordan Devey, acquired two weeks ago in a trade from the New England Patriots for tight end Asante Cleveland, was named the starter at right guard. Marcus Martin will start at center, 49ers coach Jim Tomsula announced on Tuesday.
