Well, game one came and went in the Jim Tomsula errror, uh era. All in all, the team looked good when the first and second stringers were playing. No major injuries, and the only minor one was to LB Desmond Bishop with a calf strain. The D line looked real nice stopping Hou 9 times inside the 10 yard line. Gaine Blabbert looked like not the 32nd best backup and made some nice underneath throws to the TEs. And surprising to me, the O line looked wholly serviceable in the first half. Kappy had the time to throw a deep ball to Torrey Smith, who blew past Hou’s 2 CBs. Kappy didn’t get enough air underneath it, but this is a play that these guys need to work on more to get the timing down. Gabbert had time to get the ball out clean without too much pressure. Granted, Hou didn’t play Watt, but the O line, which isn’t deep, played well. Til the backups came in, and Dylan Thompson was under siege in scrubbini time.
Jarryd Hayne had about a perfect day as one could hope for by doing great in PR/KR duties, and breaking off a 58 yard run in the 2nd quarter to set up the Niner TD.
The LBs were OK, and the coverage was fairly bleh, but we didn’t have our first unit out there for the most part. Dockett and Bowman didn’t play, and don’t expect to see a lot of them this preseason, but Bethea laid the wood a couple times, and the run D was stout, but I’m worried about the pass coverage.
Weird to say the least to see a 33 yard extra point. All in all, about what you’d hope for from game 1 of the preseason. No injuries, a nice TD drive, a nice goal line stand, and some points on the board from the 1st/2nd stringers. Houston won the battle of the Walmart brigade in the 2nd half 15-0, but the 1st and 2nd string won 10-8.

Don’t forget baalke was 2nd in command to Scotty and here since 2005
Don’t also forget that all mcloughan’s drafts were when we were one of the worst teams in football. We were picking from like 6th to top ten overall. even i could get that right . Baalke was top guy when we were picking 30th every year.
Baalke was named executive/GM of the year a couple years ago
In other words Scott m picked 1st overall 6th overall 10th overall etc etc.
And he had baalke as his head guy
Baalke picked pretty much last every year
I can’t tell you how much of a difference that makes
The North Korean conveniently left that out. It’s a technique they use in North Korea to brainwash people.
I mentioned that in my post. Last I say on the subject.
I think all of Rex’s games this year are going to end 3-3, like the Cle game right now in the 3rd qtr. If they only had a QB lol (and a OL, and another RB besides Frank, and…).
Johnny Eightball actually looks like an NFL QB. We might be able to judge him fairly if he played for a real team.
Naturally, right after I posted that Johnny trips over his own feet! Sack. That was funny.
And then, on a naked bootleg to his left with a defender coming at him, he throws on the run against his body for a 30 yd FD. Never a dull moment.
And a TD pass on the next play. Kid’s not a schmuck anymore.
Johnny’s got a long, lonnnnng way to go to be a good QB. But at least he looks like an NFL QB now. Last time I watched him, it was all read option playground ball. Intriguing, worth watching for, but that’s it. I guess he’s still like that now – the intriguing, watch watching part I mean. Hard to tell, but he’s trying to run an NFL offense now.
What bothers me at this point is our CB situation . IMHO we should be thinking acker and Johnson but reader and even wright seem to still be in the mix
Reaser
Lots of positions up for grabs. Rob! Johnson more than likely wins out as one of the CBs. I haven’t seen enough of the rest.
Rtf I have no problem with opposing viewpoints. I have problems with folks who relentlessly badger and troll over shit endlessly. Bullit starts all the bullshit and he has for 8 years now. This talk of time management is a perfect example. It has been a problem that has spanned head coaches, OCs, and QBs. Yet to those over there it is Kappy,s fault based on one play.
It’s like debating with kindergartners.
After reading that last round of posts on Skeebs blog I almost feel bad for him.
Almost.
sniff…….
You reap what you sow…
Hyuk!
Woof!
New thread is upon us . . .
The dumbass North Korean is showing his lack of football acumen again. Kawakami reported that 4 different coaches were actually calling the plays last year on offense. Mangini uses 6 coaches to help him make the calls, which is very normal for any OC or DC. He is trying to use North Korean propaganda tactics to have us think those are both the same thing. Mangini is the only coach actually calling the plays for the defense. He uses others to help him gather the info to make the decisions. I’d say that is smart.
