Quinn Meinerz

I talked two weeks ago about it.

His, his play against, uh, Bo Nix as his best play as a pro, but he did it by beating Quinn Meinerz inside in the A gap with his quickness.

Now, he got a penalty other day going at the legs of Cousins, but the ...

That was a ...

No, he's very, you know, Bowles had a plant too yesterday when they're going forward.

I just, you know, Miners is, you know, probably the best power guard in the league.

I think even a lot of personnel guys I know would say that.

But again, this is my, you know, frustration's too strong a word because I don't have a dog in the hunt.

Just 'cause you look at this Broncos offensive line, yes, their strengths are in pass protection compared to running the ball, but it's still one of the best offensive lines in the league.

Like from left to right, you got some of the best players at their position, Quinn Meinerz, you know, Garrett Bolles, Mike McGlinchey, obviously a former 49er himself.

But th- this is a good, good unit.

And when it comes to, well, running the ball effectively, a lot of times you can look to who is up front on the offensive line.

You know who I didn't see getting put flat on their back, just pancaked in the middle of the field? Anybody on the 49ers defensive line-

[laughs]

... against Quinn Meinerz.

Not one guy looked like Aaron Donald out there against the Broncos last week.

I'll let you keep seeing the praises of your favorite team.

Quinn Miners might be the best interior offensive lineman in football.

What do you have on him?

Oh, he's so good.

That's unheard of for an interior offensive lineman.

It's usually right around 50.

So yeah, Miners was winning his reps. He's done that two games in a row.

He hasn't allowed a single pressure, one for the season.

Where we have talked about here specifically, the Broncos offensive line at crucial times early on in games have given up a lot of pressure inside, also on the outside, and it's been a specific target amongst three different players on the O-line, Ben Powers, Luke Wattenberg, and Mike McGlinchey.

Those guys are gonna have to obviously button things up a little bit, because Garett Bolles and Quinn Meinerz have been very consistent and haven't really allowed the pressures the way that those guys certainly have.

So that's gonna be a key, I think, for Bo Nix staying on schedule, and that's gonna also be something here for this offense, right? Like, if Jalen Waddle's gonna be the X factor, I, I think he can thrive against San Francisco's zone defense, 'cause they play a lot of zone.

They'll play a lot of match concepts.

Yeah, I would say so.

I mean, Quinn Meinerz is [laughs] I don't know if it's true, but there was a, if it's a rumor or if it's true, but he was tested for performance-enhancing drugs because he pancaked [laughs] Aaron Donald.

[laughs] That's funny.

That's hilarious.

Their run game is just, I mean, Jonah Coleman has, has been dealing with the injury, and they're, they're just inconsistent.

And this, for an offensive line that is this good, and you mentioned it in the previous show that Quinn Meinerz played one of probably the best games of his career last week.

Um, this offensive line, you would expect the run game to be much better than it is.

Good call.
