Gap Control: Interior Offense, 2011 | ProFootballFocus.com

 

[Yadahell]

"The issue came to the other side where rushes off Adam Snyder’s outside shoulder at right guard went precisely nowhere. The 49ers averaged a miniscule 2.8 yards per carry there, just topping 100 yards for the full season. Chilo Rachal failed to deliver on his promise from 2010, but the loss of Adam Snyder to Arizona is addition by subtraction for the 49ers. For an offense built around the running game, the 49ers could do with being more efficient."

Not real surprising to anyone who paid attention to 49er games last season and another reason to believe the offense should improve this season.

the offense should certainly improve for many OTHER reasons, but we haven't filled RG yet? what if Kilgore gets the job, do we know he's better than Snyder?

We don't know he'll be better (or whoever the RG replacement is), but I don't see how he could be much worse in the rushing game.

Random observation that kind of fits into this thread. I was looking at Kilgore's combine results to see what his size is, and apparently (according to footballsfuture, so perhaps not the most reliable) Kilgore and Person had the two shortest arms for OTs in the draft. Granted among guards they would have had some company.

T-Rex did pretty well with short arms. Up until that extinction comet at least...

Don't think it will have much of an impact for Kilgore at OG though since arm length is mainly important for pass blocking and more important to OT to deal long armed rushers like our own Aldon Smith.

I suspect we draft OG early especially if we don't pick up a veteran but like Yadahell said even if we went Kilgore it's hard to see him being any worse than Snyder/Rachel.
