Here we are, 11 days before the real thing, and 22 players away from our final roster. And stop me if you[ve heard this before, but the O line seems unsettled. Devens, our RG picked up from NE seems to have put himself into the roster based on practices, because he didn’t leave a lot of film on game days.
We’ll let that go, but my issue is still with Eric Pears and his lack of ability. He has graded out miserably, yet they seem to be sticking to their guns with this guy. Maybe they are hoping for a surprise cut come September 5th, but this usually isn’t how Baalke rolls.
As this is the 4th preseason game, there may not be a lot to look for, other than the turf conditions, and the defensive backfield play. Ken Acker has risen to the top of the heap pretty quickly, but Tramaine Brock remains a mystery as Jim Tomsula channeled his predecessor by saying,”We’re not going to talk as in-depth there.”
Brock tweaked his hammy at some point in the joint practices with Denver last week, and hasn’t been seen on the field since. Behind him we have Keith Reaser, who has shown some good and some bad. Dontae Johnson, forced into a starting role as a rookie last year due to injuries, has been solid, if not spectacular. Jimmie Ward is battling injuries himself, and Shareece Wright has been relegated to backup status.
Kind of a mixed bag there. Brock is very good when healthy. He needs to GET healthy. He won’t be out there. Other than the giant suckhole that was the offseason, at least we have dodged the injury bug. Let’s hope this continues. Ahmad Brooks’ status remains a mystery as well as his buddy RayMac appears to have thrown him under the bus trying to defend himself. Boys boys boys . . .
Forty Niners Forever 
Wright don’t look right.
Tartt is looking good. two good plays there.
Yeah, he is a tweeter LB/S, good instincts.
tweener
Jed’s the tweeter!
malicious tweeter!
DA White looking good tonight.
Looked like he screwed that up, then he sprung it. I like him as a returner and WR. He makes the 53.
clunck
One game in and Harbaugh has a QB controversy on his hands. Jake Rudock has 3 picks. Michigan losing 23-10.
Like they say, can’t teach speed. DA White has speed and he runs routes well. And he gets after the ball if that pass was any indication.
He was the target on the pick 6 but not his fault.
Harbaugh 1st down. Gain of 9.
2nd and 1. Up the middle. Stuffed.
3rd and 1. Up the middle. Stuffed.
4th and 1. Up the middle. Stuffed.
And there’s your 49ers replay!!!
the mans a tryer
To the point of stupidity.
DA White with another nice return. I’d rather see Hayne back there. DA looks like he’d get creamed after a few more returns.
I know what you’re saying with White but what a nice cut to spring it.
Ellington getting an earful for cutting the route off.
He has done some nice things today though that wasn’t one of em.
Brent Jones is my guess.
I miss something?
NIner TE with most receptions – broadcast question.
VD! Took over last year… Russ Francis is still the best all-time IMO.
Gotcha
White looks better than Ellington in the return game. Not sure why they are still risking Ellington for that spot, they need him at WR.
That’s my point. I wouldn’t risk either. Hayne is built for it .
I think White is still earning his spot, Ellington is a lock. (White should be too)
That was all Hayne
Hayne is the best thing to come out of this camp.
Nice!
Hayne laid out 45 good style.
That was an epic hit.
Not digging these fucking flags on PRs.
Hayne is incredible, almost always makes positive yardage
DA’s on the 53.
yeah no doubt but the 46?
White getting after it again. Hayne definitely makes it.
Patton is gone.
Been saying it for weeks. Don’t see the playmaker in him.
Agree, Patton is gone. Hayne has to make it. He’s a tremendous athlete and versatile as well. He’s fun to watch and looks very comfortable on this stage. Don’t seeing him getting rattled by anything. The man has amazing feet and cutting ability.
White is speedy and made a couple of nice adjustment catches tonight and a couple of nice returns too. I hope he does make it. What about Kendall Hunter? With Davis looking serviceable, maybe Hunter hits the bricks.
Shit can Hunter.
I think Hayne was practicing making a fair catch; I bet they made him do it.
Hunter’s prolly gone as well. He doesn’t look like he used to. Mike Davis looks like a much better option.
Lemoneir had a decent game. He wasn’t going against ones but it was good to see since he will get a lot of playing time this year.
Harold was all over the place. He’s explosive but wild.
He comes in too high trying to hit real hard. His initial burst and getting to the play is great. When he gets there he needs to slow down, bend his knees and keep his head up. I guarantee he has been taught that. That he isn’t doing it is probably why he dropped in the draft.
Yeah, could be. He missed the RB by a yard when he got through.
Dylan Thompson makes the practice squad. It’s possible Okoye comes back for the practice squad if no one signs him.
Arik has made steady improvement. The D line is good to go.
A few coverage glitches by the LBs but al in all, decent play.
Hayne is the Mayne…
All about the O bout the O bout the O.
No more practice games…….whoopee! May the cuts begin.
