Here's a camp sleeper that I wouldn't mind making the 53 as a swing backup right tackle. I've only see him play the right tackle spot but his footwork and technique on his pass sets are a step above Gilliam. He's got the foot speed to run the stretch. His only issue is that he lacks the strength to drive guys off the line in a short yardage situation. He's one to watch for in the 2nd half of these preseason games.

We could put him on the Practice Squad to save a spot and hope that no one recognizes him but I think he's more reliable than Gilliam as a backup.

Gilliam has actual nfl snaps under his belt....

Person and Magnuson can both backup at T (as well as G & C). Makes them both valuable. Person knows and has played well in this exact scheme. And, he was drafted by the Niners as a T. Magnusson filled in some at T last year and started all season in 2016 at T at Michigan (was 1st Team All Big 10).

So does that make him better than McG too? What good is experience if the youngster plays better than you?

So does Jordan Devey.

Good point. Seems like Lauderdale is possibly better suited on the left side from the sound of things so he's not going up against big ends at RT.

Mag struggled protecting the edge last year. Person and Mag are great inside.

As it stands right now, and still much more of the preseason left, how do you have it, 8 or 9 for the OL? And, who do you have making it?

8 I think. Gilliam may make it if Kyle thinks it's safe to stash Lauderdale on the Practice Squad. Mag, Cooper, Person will be the backups.

So you have Garnett starting at RG? I hope he can come back and win that battle, to be honest. I still have hopes for him as a former 1st Rd. pick (also, I played special attention to him since he came out of Stanford).

He would've gotten the run game going last week. RG was the weak spot in all three run plays. I think it's a toss up between him and Cooper. I hope Garnett wins it but I'm not really sure.

I think if he's worth keeping, the practice squad is safe to put him in. I think Kyle's offense is pretty unique. Maybe one or two other teams use the kind of zone blocking he does, but not many others, so Lauderdale's strength weakness at the point of attack will turn off a lot of teams from going after him.
Seriously doubt he'll make the 53. He'll be there on the practice squad.

Yup.

Gilliam
Williams Jr.
Lauderdale

Top 1 or 2 make it.

Play is an inside zone (Short step left, no pulls, no reach blocks, handoff is leading the back between the tackles). Possible zone split where the TE kicks out the end and the RB treats it like a counter. Williams loses his block and prevents the back from following the TE.
1) Laudie (61 LT) wins his block sealing the edge out of the middle. The A gap is there if Garnett does a better job attacking the playside shoulder and the back hits the hole quicker.
2) The gap closes but the back picks up a few thanks to Laudie continuing to work.
