49ers All-time Guard #2
With the first preseason game kicking off last Friday, I overlooked the all-time team on Thursday. We selected our #1 offensive guard last Monday, with Guy McIntyre edging out Randy Cross. Today we'll wrap up our offensive line re-vote with the second offensive guard. I've made a revision to...
49ers All-time Guard #1
Training camp kicked into gear last week so I decided to take a week off from the all-time team balloting.

49ers All-Time Guard #2
In what has been a tight battle, we're going to declare Guy McIntyre the #1 offensive guard for our all-time team. While Randy Cross is certainly a deserving candidate, McIntyre put together a bit better complete work and the fact that he remains in the 49ers front office may have helped in the...
49ers All-Time Guard #1
In a slightly less than shocking outcome, Jesse Sapolu has absolutely run away with the center vote. I had thought about just naming him the center, but there were still some other talented options at least worth considering. Now that we've got the center, we'll work our way through the line,...
