While the 49ers are still reeling from the loss of their franchise quarterback for their season http://www.49erscheapstore.com/marquise-goodwin-jersey-cheap , it’s probably to shift some focus over to some positive things about the 49ers’ offense. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has always prided himself about having a successful run game and San Francisco is delivering on that this season.Even with top running back Jerick McKinnon sidelined for the entire season with a torn ACL, backups Matt Breida and Alfred Morris have seamlessly stepped in, carrying the burden thus far. After three weeks, Breida is tied for the most rushing yards in the NFL, with Cowboys’ tailback Ezekiel Elliot (274). San Francisco is second in the NFL in rushing yards per attempt (5.6) and second in rushing yards per game (152.7) due to the skill of the running backs, but also in part due to the success of the offensive line. Per Pro Football Focus, 49ers’ rookie right tackle Mike McGlinchey is having a phenomenal season, posting an 84.7 run-blocking grade against the Chiefs and possessing a run-blocking grade of 79.4 through three weeks — which is second in the NFL. Combine that with veteran lineman Joe Staley and Weston Richburg running over defensive linemen and the 49ers’ running backs have wide open lanes.How wide open, you ask? The 49ers have 230 yards on the ground before they are touched by a defensive player — a number that’s second behind Carolina, according to ESPN. Sunday’s contest against Kansas City backs that notion up, as Breida and Morris broke off big runs Youth Mike Person Jersey , their longest being 26 and 16 yards, respectively.On Breida’s biggest run of the day, it was a huge gain due to his creativity on the play. The running lane closes quickly, but the 49ers’ second-year back has a solid presence of mind to cut it back to the left side of the field, where there’s no defenders. That allows Breida to kick it into a higher gear and gain 26 yards on the play.49ers have a lot of success on these misdirection, where they get a wide receiver running across the line of scrimmage to freeze up one of the defensive ends, allowing the blockers to shift in the direction of the run. In this case, it frees up a huge hole for Breida to gain 21 yards. It wasn’t until early in the third quarter that the 49ers found some offensive rhythm, especially in their running game. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo bobbles this snap, but is able to toss it to Breida, who takes it for a 27-yard gain.On this play Youth Adrian Colbert Jersey , the 49ers offensive line does a solid job run blocking, bringing in tight end George Kittle as an extra blocker and allowing fullback Kyle Juszczyk to be the lead blocker. The opening gave way to a six-yard Morris gain on first down. Having positive first downs have been key to sustaining long drives for San Francisco’s offense.Another strong example of the 49ers ability to line up and run block. All the linemen up front hold their blocks, creating a lane for Morris to gain nearly 10 yards before first contact. Then Morris is able to use his physicality to turn it into his longest run of the afternoon.I mean, look at this hole created by the 49ers’ offensive line. You or I could run through that opening for a positive gain. Morris takes that for an easy eight-yard gain and the 49ers have a short second down. Having successful run plays, opens up the dangerous play-action passing game, which is the base of the Shanahan offense.Here’s another wrinkle in the 49ers’ running attack, as Garoppolo hands it to Juszczyk, who has the option of running of the ball or tossing it to Breida. In this case, the 49ers’ fullback does the correct thing, tossing it to Breida. It eventually turns into a nice red zone gain for the 49ers of 13 yards.No matter who’s in the backfield for San Francisco, this offensive line unit is absolutely mauling the defenders and creating wide open running lanes for the backs. Without Garoppolo in the lineup http://www.49erscheapstore.com/joe-staley-jersey-cheap , I’m sure defenses will start to adjust to take away the running game primarily. Defenses should start to stack the boxes with eight defenders and force backup quarterback C.J. Beathard to make throws from the pocket. If the 49ers can continue to run the ball down opposing defenses’ throats then, I’ll be impressed. Welp, at least the Patriots won. I’m just not ready for the type of next-level hero-worship that Patrick Mahomes would have started receiving had he beat Tom Brady in the AFC Championship Game. Sure, he’s good and all - easily the best of the young QBs in the league - but it’s difficult to root against the tried and true performance of Tom Terrific, even as he gets up there in age.Anyway, to the main course, the Saints blew it. Or, as everyone here in New Orleans is saying, the refs blew it. Which, apparently they did, as ESPN later reported that the NFL’s head of officiating informed Sean Payton after the game that it was most certainly a pass interference call that had been missed. Had the appropriate call been made http://www.the49ersfootballauthentic.com/k_waun-williams-jersey-authentic , the likelihood of an alternate outcome jumps dramatically - the Rams take a quiet flight home, the Los Angeles bandwagoners quiet down for a few months, and I get to make fun of all my friends back home (read: aforementioned bandwagoners). Instead, the Saints lost. The nightmare for me is just beginning, being behind enemy lines and such. Everybody in town was already plastered and emotionally incoherent, or incoherently emotional, which ever works better for you, by about 6pm (regardless of the federal holiday today), but the next two weeks are going to be absolute hell. I greatly look forward to hearing about how much the referees screwed the Saints and that the fix is in to drum up interest in the Los Angeles franchises. I’ve been compulsively watching that clip from last year’s Divisional round when Stefon Diggs put the improbable nail in the Saints’ coffin, hoping that it may just function as a screen saver while the neighbors talk my ear off. Aint’s gonna Ain’t. Time to break the paper bags back out, folks.In other news http://www.the49ersfootballauthentic.com/george-kittle-jersey-authentic , the Senior Bowl will take place next Saturday, providing the nation with some football as we patiently wait for Tom Brady to win his 6th Super Bowl ring/the impending collapse of the entire Los Angeles Rams franchise. Practices begin Tuesday, which are often the main course for observers during this process - meaning it’s just like training camp all over again, which, by the way, is still like 6 months away. Happy Monday!Senior Bowl preview | Kawahara, SF Chronicle | Chan, NBC Sports Bay Area
