Thought this was interesting...We may see him this weekend if Thornton can't go

Wanted to bump this to give some props to McRath who I thought played pretty well in his first NFL start. Guy's a keeper for sure. :thumbsup

Also, Leroy Harris did amazingly well at tackle considering he's never played that position before.

EDIT: Here's Terry McCormick's take on Harris performance

Big contribution

Rookie linebacker Gerald McRath started in place of injured David Thornton (hip) and made six tackles on Sunday in his first NFL start.

But McRath’s biggest play might have been at the end of the game when he caught former Titan Joe Nedney’s onside kick to end any chances of the 49ers coming back.

“I was expecting the kicker to get his eyes a little bit big in seeing a No. 51 out there,” McRath said of being on the hands team. “It’s one of those things you have to keep on practicing and practicing, even though you might not see it but one time a year.”

Stephen Tulloch was impressed with McRath’s play at linebacker.

“I’ve never seen a rookie with as much knowledge and understanding of the game. It’s amazing to me. He’s still got some stuff to work on, but the sky’s the limit for his ability,” Tulloch said.

Good job 51

McRath looks like he has a bright future. Leroy Harris needs to be a starter on the line ASAP. Preferably at LG replacing Eugene Amano. Maybe at C next year in place of Mawae.
