 best run blocker through Week 5 It’s safe to say Mike McGlinchey was a good pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. He’s been a mauler and done nothing besides keep people out of Jimmy Garoppolo and C.J. Beathard’s grill for the most part. While his pass-blocking has been prone to the (expected) rookie mistakes www.authenticssanfrancisco49ers.com , it’s his run blocking that has been absolutely filthy: Ok, so that’s a rookie and he’s number 1 for run blocking. Send it! Overall, McGlinchey is the best-rated offensive lineman on the 49ers roster at the moment. The biggest reason for the McGlinchey pick and subsequent Trent Brown trade was because Kyle Shanahan wanted a dedicated run-blocker. Brown was an excellent pass-blocker, but his run-blocking was suspect San Francisco 49ers T-Shirt , especially in Kyle Shanahan’s zone schemes. It didn’t help matters that Brown would show up to training camp overweight. It looks like McGlinchey is doing just what Shanahan wants—get the run going. While his pass-blocking will still need development, it hasn’t been awful (far away from anything bad) and is something he can build on. For a rookie, McGlinchey is showing all sorts of promise. The big question will be if he is moved to left tackle or if the 49ers elect to draft or sign a left tackle once Joe Staley retires. McGlinchey struggled at the position in college and the 49ers may not want to tinker with the right tackle position at all since McGlinchey has that taken care of for the foreseeable future. The San Francisco 49ers were playing atrocious football on offense for much of the first half against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7. However, George Kittle put the team on his back in the second quarter to get a score and give the team a chance to make this interesting in the second half.Kittle had one reception for nine yards prior to the 49ers final offensive drive. However San Francisco 49ers Hats , trailing 22-0, he stepped up in a big way. He got open for a 35-yard catch-and-run to open the drive. He followed that up with a 23-yard reception to get down to the Rams 17. That second catch was a particularly impressive piece of work. It was a short three-yard reception that he turned into a 23-yard haul courtesy of an impressive stiff arm — while dragging another Rams defender. Troy Hill was trying to tackle Kittle, and as that was going on, Kittle stiff-armed Marcus Peters. Enjoy this display of brute physicality.Kittle followed that up with a 10-yard touchdown in which he showed excellent awareness getting into the end zone before making the grab. He was pushed forward out of the end zone San Francisco 49ers Hoodie , but he had control of the ball before then for the score.The 49ers still trail 22-7, but that last drive was progress. The 49ers get the ball back to open the second half, which gives them a chance to cut the lead to one possession. The 49ers have not shown enough to convince they’ll consistently get on the board, but they have at least a little bit of momentum coming out of the locker room.
