"-During a rollout, defensive end Ray McDonald caught Smith. Not bad for a 290-pounder. Later he bull rushed Adam Snyder, which led to a knocked-down pass of Smith's."
Sounds about right. I have high hopes for McDonald this year. He's gonna wreak havoc in that backfield.

Crazy talk has overrun the board.
Do we honestly want a 6'3", 290 pounder starting on the strong side of the line in our 3-4 defense? A guy who has major problems with his knees in the past, and is best suited as a situational tackle when the team lines up in the 4-3 on passing downs. Zero sacks.
The bottom line is that he is a maxed-out, backup 4-3 undertackle, not a starter on the strongside in a 3-4 defense.

Agreed that it's only one game. However, if you couldn't see the talent this guy possessed, you're an idiot.
Amazing he's only gained the starting spot this year. McD is an absolute animal and tonight is just another example. Sack and an INT in the same qtr, get outta here. He's pro-bowl material.
Thank god this coaching staff knows the talent on this roster.
GOOOO NINERS. GOOOO RAY MAC!

When you first came to the 49ers in January, when did DT Ray McDonald first come on your radar? He hasn’t started any of the past two seasons. When did he first catch your attention, that he could be your starter at that left end?
“Very early. Met Ray and liked him right away as a guy and as a person. Watched the tape on Ray and we all felt that here’s a guy that’s just about ready to explode onto the scene. It’s kind of like there have been some tremors, some earthquake tremors have been reported and sighted on the Richter scale and here’s a guy that the big one could be coming. That’s why Ray was such a high priority for us to re-sign and get back on our football team. He had a marvelous game yesterday.”

Previous coaches could not see what Harbaugh/Fangio see. Making a non-starter a high priority re-sign shows just how far apart opinions were about Mcdonald's talent. I doubt this game was a fluke. Tear it up Ray!!!
