Here we are at the penultimate game of the preseason. Usually reserved for the starters making one last effort at looking like they are ready for the regular season to get rolling. As of now, and even with the impending departure of Ahmad Brooks, the defense looks like it is in decent shape. No we aren’t nearly as deep as we once were, but with Bowman back, Dockett ready to go, and a up-and-coming set of young linebackers, I think the D can play close to the level of last year. A feat in itself when you look at the injuries suffered by last year’s squad. Dontae Johnson has done well at CB, and rookie safety Tartt has done well. The hitting is there. The coverage remains to be tested in a strident manner.
The offense? Well, that’s a different kettle of fish. Near as I can guess, and I’m guessing I’m seeing what think I see, the zone blocking scheme we’ve been using has opened some big holes for Hyde, Davis, and even Hayne. Pass pro? Well. That’s where the kettle is. The protection has been spotty at best as the coaching staff moves the various pieces around. The WRs haven’t really gotten too involved as a result, and the 1st team offense has had a grand total of 3 drives, so it is time to let fly.
Forty Niners Forever 
Well when your RT whiffs on his block you think you have more than 2 seconds.
I must have blinked. I thought I saw JMartin.
He should be used to 2 secs by now
There’s the diff between these offenses. They are giving Manning time to throw when they need to.
Manning looks like shit. That was a gift.
His pass to wide open T.Y. Hilton for the TD on the last drive was a real duck, too.
Acker’s having a good game so far.
Let’s see somer offense
Play calling is real soft so far.
Can they block a 3nrd down play?
Good run by Hyde.
This is ridiculuos.
They aren’t even blitzing and we can’t block 4.
2nd down and 4 I’d like to see a pass off play action.
Wow, can’t lose Johnson now.
Well, thank God this is preseason. If they can’t figure out how to pass block this’ll be a long season.
I turned it off with 2 min to go in first half. That was nearly unwatchable, at least the offense.
Yeah, this is a problem. The D can’t get enough props. They’ve played the entire half.
Good to see Dontae Johnson back in.
Acker with another tough play.
Niners dodge another bullet on an overthrown pass by Peyton to an open receiver in the EZ.
Manning with another shitty pass.
All this and we are only down 1 score.
Wouldn’t it be funny to see us score before the half and tie it?
Peyton took a real shot on that one. Who’s 29?
Just wondering why Hayne isn’t in there.
We need to throw regardless of the problerms.
29 is Tartt .Big hitter. Nice safety blitz.
53 yds rushing -13 passing LOL
Wow. Blocking is non-existent. They are coming up the middle untouched.
There’s Kappy…visions of Roger Staubach there.
There he goes again! He’s their whole freakin’ offense!
Oops – the dreaded DELAY OF GAME
I’ll take one in 3 games over burning all our timeouts in the first quarter every game any day.
Torrey blew that. Boldin didn’t help. WTF? Blocking is verboten? There’s your new NFL.
For all this bullshit, they had a chance to score a TD and tie the game.
