Alex Smith made a token appearance in game 4 of the preseason (handing the ball off 5 times), but the afternoon belonged to Colin Kaepernick. He was 12/18 for 158 yards, and 2 TDs. But, more than that he looked smooth and confident behind center. He made short passes, mid-range passes, and a couple deep balls that he connected on. A J Jenkins (4 catches, 59 yards, 1 TD) got playing time vs SD’s 1st and 2nd units and did well, even running Ted Ginn’s patented flanker sweep for a 9 yard gain.
The 1st team (pretty much) defense gave up yards, but did create turnovers against Philip Rivers and co (who played a lot longer than I sure thought they would). Ex-punter Bruce McCann (McBath?) came in and picked off a ball on the 5 yard line to thwart a drive, and an earlier drive was killed by a nice strip by CJ Spillman on Antonio Gates. So, the nominal starters put up a 21-0 spot on the Bolts.
The rest of the game was backup city as Tolzein took a step back in his securing the #3 spot. Tolzein played nervous and unsettled while JJ played loose and easy. He was helped by a swing pass to Palmer that Palmer took 50 yards to the end zone.
In cut-down news, Rock Cartwright has been cut (thus sparing Anthony Dixon), and Colin Jones has been traded to Carolina for their 7th round pick.
Forty Niners Forever 
Not surprising the way Dixon played yesterday.
I missed the game (listened to a little on the radio due to sick kids). Thanks for the recap Chuck. Nice to see Jenkins get some touches and results. I remember Colin ripping us apart (Cal Bears) in that pistol offense up in Reno a couple of years ago. It wasn’t just his legs — when we tried to adjust on the run (pistol), he’d rip us apart with his accurate throws.. Tomorrow is redemption time and I’ll be there at the newly renovated Memorial Stadium rooting on my Bears!
Romo’s still a choke artist.
All 3 early TDs came with Kappy at QB. His improvisational rollout/pass to Jenkins in the back of the end zone was a beaut, but the prettiest pass of the day was a 3 step drop quick slant into traffic, off the fingertips of the receiver leaving today.(If his hands hadn’t gotten in the way, the pass would have cut him in half.)
Kappy’s ready when you are, Jimbo.
Yup, in more news CB Anthony Mosley and WR Swett Brain (little surprised) were released.
Swain has alligator arms and/or is unwilling to lay out for the catch.
Yeah, missing that dart to the corner didn’t help his cause.
Funny, the 2 QBs that made bank in FA are on the bench.
Kolb and Flynn watch while Russell and Skelton start week one in the Sea/AZ game.
Didn’t we get Colin Jones with a 6th? What king of horsetrading is it to sell him for a 7th after all that excellent coaching???
tongue in cheek, kinda, better than the nothing we would get in 31/2 hours.
reuland and Bakhtiari gone, I liked both players
PS probably
Nope. Rueland to the 53 on Jets. Bakhtiari ??
CJ was a 7th round pick in 2011 . . .
Damned wikipedia.
Look on the right side of my blog here,. I have the 2011 draft picks listed . . .
Yup there they are.
Yeah, I really like Reuland. I think he’ll catch on somewhere.
PS elligible I think
He’s on the Jets 53
12th man
When Irish Kevin made that statement yesterday you were oblivious to what he was talking about.
In the earlier thread you said you enjoyed Del Mar Dennis acting like Clint Eastwood (not in a good way) but like Crazy Uncle Mort who gets locked in the basement when company comes over.
Am I to understand you enjoy being badgered by someone who asks a question but will only accept
one answer? All I can say is WOW!
Why are you talking to me?
Because he is pissed at Chuck for sumptin’ he said … moron
dennis doesn’t bother me with his rants. I find some of it unbelievable but that’s just me. It seems that when dennis believes something he takes it to the bank.
Yahoo draft in 45 min.
Tolzein makes the 53, JJ is on the bubble.
O line Al Netter cut, good player should get picked up somewhere
Our practice squid…
Happy to see him back, guy has potential.
Oh, shit. Good luck with that. I’m going to miss it.
If only to annoy the shit out of Dennis.
12th man
You said earlier I was perhaps hasty in my conclusion so I respond. Sorry if the answer isn’t to your liking.
” Am I to understand you enjoy being badgered by someone who asks a question but will only accept”
I couldn’t care less what you understand, which from what I can tell is next to nothing. I haven’t seen you contribute a damn thing and if your purpose is to dog me dog, that makes you a troll. Don’t like what I post, tough titty.
Easy. That’s Sister Blindasabat Killjoy, of the Order of the Eternally Clenched Sphincter. Get her flustered and you get a six paragraph rant about the dangers of the clap.
You meet the nicest people on this blog.
It’s like stumbling into a mental ward.
Feel free to stumble right back out, Cupcake.
The fellowship here is so enticing. How could I possibly leave now?
This is a 49er blog? Isn’t the 12th Man another name for a Seahawk supporter?
12th Man
I see you went crying to your mommy. Your mommy called me a cupcake.
Oh if only I had known sooner that would have explained the god given right to poke its nose into other peoples conversations. It all makes sense now Grump.
Feel free to go find the nicer class of people you can respect in the morning someplace else troll.
Don’t start nothin won’t be nothin. Clearly you are here not to contribute but to make snide comments about things that don’t concern you. Stick around or take a hike, either way you’ve blown your cred.
Troll
Seahawk
You’re actually going to think? Don’t strain that little brain of yours.
12th Man aka Seahawk
Sooner or later you’ll grow a pair and leave your mommy’s basement.
Oh dear, scary words from the puppy, milqtoast.
More snide comments puppy? Keep this up and I will start to think you are another poster hiding behind a new screen name troll.
BINGO my friend
Yawn.
twin fan and Irish Kevin will get a good laugh out of this.
reddog is twinfan. Just ignore. Pay no attention to the smoke and mirrors. I recommend the same strategy with reddick as with my buddy Del Mar = let it go; not a serious discussion.
His buudy Irish Kevin = Flavor until proven otherwise. Same old tired game.
Sorry. Shoulda said “budyy Irish Kevin = Flavor” Yeah that’s better
phil fan
Trust me I am not twinfan buy hey good for you if your conspiracy theories give you comfort have at it. And no Luke, I am not your father.
Circle the wagons girls. Somebody has a different view so we must attack and expel the intruder
There’s no place for that on this board. You all think alike and don’t mind saying “atta boy”,while patting each other on the back because this is your only “safe haven”. Put on your “big boy pants” and stop crying when somone does not share your opinion. You girls like to hunt in a pack.
Kept Celek over Reuland, didn’t see that coming.
JJ didn’t make it after all Chuck. A lot of talented players going to PS or the street.
JJ won’t be out of a job for long.
Haha I got Peyton AND RG III in the Yahoo league. Dennis my first victim.
Oh shit. Bitchfest? Wow. I guess I should check my FF team and see how fucked I am.
Reddog, don’t know ya, but can we try to get on point here?
Huh, JJ will get picked up soon. AZ? or Cleve would be my guess.
Yeah someone will pick him up as a backup, don’t see Arizona, how about Shehawks, they only have 2 QB’s and love old niners?
Chuck see my 3:21am. Yep da perfessional bitchz now on board
JJ to AZ I can see that
Resort to toliet humor and profanity. That’s what happens when your brain is marinating
in a sewerl. This guy Skeebers no doubt is righteous.
You on the other hand think ghetto and you live ghetto.
