49ers Pack Extra Punch on O-line

Get forced out up to Greg Roman and Jim Harbaugh to find away out to use a lot more than 2,000 pounds of offensive linemen one play. It's becoming a regular occurrence for the 49ers, who used seven big fellows on select snaps on the season-opening 30-22 win at Green Bay. Exhibit A: Frank Gore's touchdown run. It's likely you have noticed a little extra beef next to the line of scrimmage before Gore's 23-yard dash into your end zone. But not just was veteran Leonard Davis ¡§C all 6-foot-6, 350 pounds of him ¡§C set up as a tight end, but second-year lineman Daniel Kilgore was implemented as a wing blocker in your backfield. It's no surprise that Gore ran on the right side of the field behind Davis and Kilgore, before following down field blocks from fullback Bruce Miller to contact pay dirt. "That's upon football I play," guard Alex Boone said. "I know almost all of the other guys enjoy it. Seeing big Leonard released there, it is fun to find the defense get real wide-eyed." Most teams carry seven active linemen on game days, but easier going with hard-pressed to find an offensive coordinator more creative than Roman, who finds tips to get all of his players involved. For Kilgore, it's his best ability to contribute to the offense after spending the 2011 season to the sidelines. On Gore's touchdown, Kilgore and Davis connected to seal their side within the Green Bay defensive line, springing the 49ers rushing king along the right sideline. Kilgore was the first man to greet Gore finally zone and celebrate the score. "It's always fun for getting on the field," Kilgore said. "When you have a that wing position on your seven-man offensive line package, it's fun to get in there. Particularly when Frank scores."
