Preseason preseason. The Niners travel east to Texas for a game with the Houstons. Alex Smith may get 2 series this game. The reports coming out of camp are that Smith has really taken to the offense, and it is clicking along at a feverish pace. Good to hear, but then again, we’ve heard this before. Be that as it may, I believe this crop of coaches a little more than the last batch. Beyond that, Josh Johnson, Harbaugh’s QB back in the heady days of the USD Toreros, willl get a chance to improve his position in the battle for the 3rd (and most likely last) QB on the Niners.
The other concern is of course injuries. As the Raiders showed last night, you can get dinged up pretty badly when there are jobs to be had, and defensive players try to prove their worth. Aldon Smith is walking around comfortably, and is apparently just about right. He will not likely see any more action this preseason. Brooks is also out with a knee injury that will keep him sidelined most of the preseason. As well as P Cox and a few others. It’ll be interesting to see how the pass rush fares with without Aldon and Brooks at LB. Kortnei Brown and Eric Bahktari in their place. I think they may try and protect Haralson by playing him little since they have enough dinged up LBs. Juston Smith will likely get a little playing time as well tonight. It’lll be nice to see him out there. Even if only for a short time.
Other than that? Offense. I want to see some evidence of these amazing workouts I jeep hearing about. Sure they don’t want to show too much. But really. a down field passing game isn’t a great unsolved mystery that other defenses haven’t seen before. Most all teams use their WRs a lot more than we do, so let’s at least give it the old college try. For a little bit.
Forty Niners Forever 
How about that Dixon…getting that tough yard.Passes the Jacobs test.
News flash: Dixon picks up a first
He still stinks on ice. And believe you me, you best hope he doesn’t make the 53-man. You’ll thank me later.
See. You’re already thanking me. Dixon sucks.
They call AD for holding the previous play but don’t call him for a false start this time?
The refs really do suck.
Yeah, well that’s how it’s going to be. They miss an obvious hold on Maningham and blow the call on Davis
Can’t blame Dixon on the 4th down = no blocking- 2 guys in his way
Ok,now Fuck Dixon and Harbaugh on that dive call.Had no chance developing.
Yikes. Decent coverage. Bad ball awareness.. 2nd stringers though.
DB’s leaking oil.Need to tighten this shit up.
Niners dodged a “Bullock” there.
We all know if that woulda been Sanrda Bullock kicking, she woulda been “Blind Sided.”
Hey, Randy! Catch the fucking ball!
Moss is human, dropped one
One more knock about our WRs…ever noticed how they easily get tackled by just the easiest of touches?
There goes my man Hunter again.
1st bold prediction of the year: K. Hunter will be our leading rusher this year.
And one more knock about out QBs…David Akers is still our MVP.
Fuck that’s twice those idiots Ryan and Odonnell thought they had 1st downs and they didnt.Pull yout HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASSES!!!!
Our 2nd team D couldn’t stop Houston’s run game- their first team
Two first half conclusions for tonight’s first half: 1) we still can’t Pass Pro worth a shit and 2) we still can’t cover worth a fuck. And if you’re feeling lucky and would like to try and hit the trifecta this year…#3 might be our pass rash. These early injuries to Aldon and Brooks could prove fatal.
My video long gone and audio on the way out. Catch ya later
Yawn. I bet Jacobs wishes he’d taken the night off. Everybody else has.
Again with the officials…get ready for it Harbaugh. At least for the first two games. That’s what they’re saying at least. The reg. refs should come back for Game 3. I can already hear the bitchin’ and moanin’ for the GB and Detroit games now.
And was it just me, or as Jimbo walked of the field at halftime…I was thinking coach coulda used a little more scooch in his khakis.
Maybe he just needs the Scwartz handshake to get his giddyup going Dennis.
MVP Akers. Now where have I heard that before?
Brooks and Smith will be back. I;m more concerned with the offense.
Who’s the QB? I am too.
