Mike McGlinchey continues building on strong rookie season

There were plenty of Nick Mullens highlights on Thursday, but one of my favorite plays was when 49ers running back Raheem Mostert scampered 51 yards for his first career touchdown. He benefited from some shoddy Raiders tackling, but the best part of the run might have been seeing right tackle Mike McGlinchey providing lead blocking the entire run. He remained in between Mostert and safety Marcus Gilchrist the entire way.

On Friday, head coach Kyle Shanahan joked about the play. Shanahan was asked about McGlinchey blocking the whole way downfield, and if that was exactly how it was drawn up.
