Preseason game #2 on the docket today. The Dallas Cowboys roll into town, and this team should provide a little better benchmark on how our team looks. Speaking of Dockett we still won’t see him or Navorro Bowman play. But the line play without him was pretty good last week. Keep an eye peeled for Mike Purcell, as he had a very solid game last week.
Also, since this is the home opener, let’s all see if the turf holds up. I mean really, replacing the sod every 3 weeks doesn’t seem to give the grass a chance to root itself, but what do I know about lawns? I’ve only been mowing them for 48 years.
Keith Reaser is getting the start at CB, so take a look at him. He’s not huge at 5’10” and 190, but he ran a 4.32 40. Had he done that in the combine, he would only have trailed Dri Archer. He also did 22 reps at 225 lb so he’s strong. Looking forward to seeing him in game time action.
As for the rest? Well, I’d sure like to see much more of Kappy. He needs to get into the rhythm and flow of the game for a few series to heed his lessons. Hitting a play to Torrey Smith would be cool as well. Frankly, seeing the WRs get 5 catches with Kappy would be a good thing. Would love to see hyde break off some nice runs as well.
As far as the timing issues go, still a wait-and-see deal. It sure looks a lot better than the last 8 years of running the play clock to 0.5 or worse. . .
Getting to the line so fast!!
If they keep this up, they won’t have a delay of game all year long
Hey! Hows the crowd?
Lots of Niners and Cowboy fans!!
Nice drive. Hope they keep Kappy in.
I think we found a punt returner!
He makes the 53
He’d better!
The Punt Returner from Down Under 😀
No shit. He’s getting 20 yards a touch. This guy’s outpunting his coverage,
Kappy made one nice adjustment on the pass to Hyde. Not so much on the sack. Good D on the pass to T Smith.
When your punt returner gets you to the 50 yard line consistently you had better score!!
Good to see Dockett and Bownman on the field. D looks pretty solid so far.
Channelling Harbaugh there.
O-line looks good. Not great, but much better than last year.
Nice run blocking for the most part.
Not sold on the passing game. New coaches, new WRs, new plays, it could take a few more outings. I hope that’s all it is.
Dial blew up the double team on a stunt and Harold put on the quicks inside. Sack by Harold and Dial. Nice! Lemoneir fell on the ground on the play. Lemoneir had a pressure. If he would have got up field better on his rush he would have had a sack. He does look a lot more physical this year than last. Needs to learn to shed.
Our pas blocking is not as good this week as last.
I’m going going to be watching Thomas and acker the most. IMO pears and wright are our weakest links. I’m hoping for guys like acker and Johnson to win the starting CB spots and guys like Thomas and brown to win spots on the right side of our O-line.
Got Jordan Devey in the mix now too Rob.
All about competition in this racquet.
Don’t know much about devey. Imho Thomas is the best bet to start.I know Brown is a real long shot , but I like him!
Harold and armstead are also on my radar tonight.
Great pressure by Armstead creates Int fot NT Purcell who takes it to the house. I really like Armstead. Looks like a great pick so far!
Armstead takes an inside pressure and the running play goes by him on the outside. Can’t say he did wrong or if a LB should have been there.
They need to tighten up the run D. But otherwise playing very good defense
Two other new guys I really like are McCray and Tartt. Both look good on D and special teams.
