Offensive Grades

Want to read a weird stat? The 49ers managed 475 yards of offense. Pretty crazy, huh.

It gets even weirder, especially considering San Francisco went 8-of-11 on third down and also managed 21 first downs. These are the kinds of numbers most Niners fans haven’t seen in quite some time.

And who cares it was against the Giants?

Quarterback

Quarterback C.J. Beathard didn’t have to worry so much about a stout front seven, as was the case versus the Arizona Cardinals last week. And it showed.

Beathard went an impressive 19-of-25 for 288 yards and two touchdowns against one interception. And all that accounted for a 123.4 passer rating.

Don’t count out Beathard on the ground either:

Grade: A

Running Back

Feeding running back Carlos Hyde was a priority. And it worked, as Hyde averaged 5.8 yards per carry en route to a 98-yard performance.

Fullback Kyle Juszczyk lost another fumble — his second in as many weeks and one that thwarted what was a promising Niners offensive drive.

Just think, he’s making $21 million on a four-year deal.

Nevertheless, San Francisco’s ground attack worked well against a Giants defense that had largely given up by the second half. And rookie tailback Matt Breida put a stamp on that fact with a 33-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.

Grade: B

Wide Receiver/Tight End

Way to hold onto the ball, Marquise Goodwin. An 83-yard touchdown is always nice, but give credit to Hyde too.

Check out the block by Hyde on the play:

Back to the receivers, and notably rookie wideout Kendrick Bourne making an impact. He had three catches for 42 yards, and it would be nice to see him in San Francisco’s plans next season.

And tight end Garrett Celek? Well, his touchdown just before halftime — paired with some physical play earlier on the drive — sure showed some grit.

Grade: B+

Offensive Line

Here’s a stat for you — Beathard was sacked… wait for it… zero times.

Considering Beathard was hit only five times, it’s pretty safe to say the Niners’ offensive line did its job in pass protection.

True, the interior wasn’t all that great. Whatever pressure did exist came from between the tackles, but we’ve certainly seen much worse from this unit.

Run blocking was a bit of an issue early on, but this might have been the most complete effort from the O-line all season.

Grade: C+
