The All-Important Game 3

Well, in the normal scheme of things, game 3 is the game that you see usually a good solid chunk of playing time for the starters.  Last year, Jim Harbaugh didn’t do that. He played Smith and co. Sparingly. So far this preseason, Kappy has been on the field for 8 plays, netting 2 field goals. I get the fact you don’t want to risk injury to your star QB, and you also don’t want to show youme enemy too much, but the Niner schedule starts out with Green Bay and Seattle. Not exactly teams you want to be ramping up your offense against. As of now it’s impossible to know what new wrinkles Harbaugh may unveil. We’ve seen the same struggles on 3rd down with the rest of the 1st team offense. And we creating haven’t seen much of the WRs At hey are trying to figure out.

So, where do we go from here? Onward and upward I suppose. However, its’s a little scary to me that Kappy has so little time on the field with the other starters. Maybe game 4 will see more playing time as well.

    Two weeks til kickoff with the Packers. Be still my heart. The defense looks just fine. Nice to see Reid step for step on the opening deep ball. THAT’S what a free safety is supposed to be good at. The hits are nice, and Reid did a nice job wit an open field tackle, but I’m all about him being in position to break up the deep balls, nit getting double-moved, and burnt. Whitner is still a liability on coverage, as he let a guy get open by 5 yards on a simple out route to convert a 3rd down.

    ,I’m a little worried about the offense, but the WR play yesterday helped some. No drops. Moore looks solid, as did Patton.At least in te 1st half. Going to watch the 2nd half now.Gore looks like his old self. Great to see End Zone Hunter back. Throw in a ST TD and you have a pretty good win all around. This team appears to be ready to challenge for the big prize. Despite Dennis’ worries and fears.

    Still no word on compensation. SBNation is saying ‘low round pick’ but I think they’ll get a little more for him. A mid-level WR?

      From Maiocco –

      The 49ers receive a conditional seventh-round pick as compensation, the Sacramento Bee reported. If Haralson does not make the team, the 49ers will receive no compensation.

      It’s a youth and Cap Mgt move –

    Ewwwwwww. Seeing as he might have been a cut anyway, they got something for him. NO just lost an LB to injury, so they needed a body. He should work out well for them.
