During the past three seasons, how much San Francisco 49ers' right tackle Mike McGlinchey weighs has been a significant talking point. Offensive line coach Chris Foerster shared his thoughts on the topic, believing McGlinchey’s weight wasn’t the root of his problems.
Foerster never understood why people only brought McGlinchey’s weight up as a problem in the passing game. Instead, he called McGlinchey one of the best run blockers in the league who would often knock opposing defensive linemen off their spots:
I didn’t think he was too light. It’s execution and fundamentals. You’re 300-some pounds.
