Boone solidifies right guard for 49ers

Alex Boone - G - San Francisco 49ers

Dec. 6, 2012 - 6:10 PM ET

49ers OC Greg Roman suggested RG Alex Boone is coming off his best game of the season in Week 14 versus the Rams.

"When he gets out in space, he can get rolling, a bit like an 18-wheeler going down a hill," Roman said. Undrafted out of Ohio State in 2009, Boone has solidified the one vacancy on the 49ers' front line after converting from tackle. Pro Football Focus has rated Boone as a top-five guard for the majority of the season.
