Offensive line coach Chris Foerster was asked to evaluate 49ers rookie guard Dominick Puni on Thursday. Here's what Foerster said, courtesy of the 49ers' p.r. department.
FOERSTER: “Good. He's played well. He's kind of been consistent throughout, the way he started camp and has continued to work every week. He’s been a pretty consistent performer. Everything we saw him do in practice, he did in the game.”
Q: He pulled on that touchdown. That's something that you do a lot with OL Aaron Banks. Is he good at that? FOERSTER: “He's good at it. There are some things about him, the move inside, there's some little things that he needs to work on. Pulling is going to be one of them. But he's done a really good job in everything, he's developing in all his areas. He's very diligent in studying and what to do next, listening and taking coaching. He's doing a nice job. But that is going to be something he has to work on.
Q: You guys have, in the past, sometimes rotated guys at a position. What are the benefits of that for a young guy? FOERSTER: “Oh, it's huge. I don't know how I decide to do it, but you can kind of tell. I even did it with Feliciano, who I didn’t think Feliciano was going to play as much in the Green Bay game, in the playoffs. But also, I noticed I said 97 was giving him some issues. So instead of getting in a routine of rushing Jon Feliciano, you put Burford in there, and the defender has to deal with a different guy. For young players, that was the sidelight. It can help anybody.
