He'll be playing next to one of the best pass blocking LG's in the game, so he's going to have help. Thuney + Blythe is WAY better than Wylie + Reiter, which before all of the injuries was our starting combo until they signed Osemele.

I bet he's better at pass blocking than he's looked, and worse at run blocking than he looked. In context, it must suck pass blocking for Jared Goff, and it's likely a little easier run blocking for McVay than others.
