The Beater got his shot to play with the 1.5’s and did alright. Certainly didn’t stink up the joint as he went 6-9 for 58 yards, and if not for the weeekly drop by Bourne, he would have been 7-9 and 82 yards. He threw a nice TD to Bourne as well as he seems to drop easy ones, and catch the tougher ones. Better still was his 25 yards downfield block on Jeff Wilson’s 41 yard reverse run for the Niners first TD.
No major injuries, and not much news so far about cuts as the first 9 to go have been goned. They are:
| DL | Jay Bromley |
| CB | Chris Campbell |
| DB | Jordan Holland |
| CB | Dontae Johnson |
| OL | Wesley Johnson |
| TE | Tyree Mayfield |
| CB | Quinten Rollins |
| RB | Brandon Wilds |
| T | Sam Young |
The most surprising is our former starting CB Dontae Johnson. I imagine we will be seeing some more familiar names in the next couple days. (Wilton Speight)
And either Bourne goes, or Matthews. I’m leaning toward Matthews just because Bourne is younger and has more upside.
Great article about Frank Gore from ESPN. Written before Shady was released by the Bills.

Nice, a very special player and probably the best the Niners ever had. That is truly saying something when you consider all the great backs we’ve had. 1st ballot HOFer.
Well looks like we got back some pretty good players for our PS. the list is at 49ers.com

We did pick up FA Ryan Pope very very recently of the Lions for our practice squad. OT 6’7” 315 massive human being and highest paid UDFA in the league by the Lions
Taxi Squad list:
LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles
DL Kevin Givens
S Marcell Harris
TE Daniel Helm
WR Malik Henry
LB Elijah Lee
G Ross Reynolds
DL Jeremiah Valoaga
RB Jeff Wilson Jr.
Harris Wilson ad Lee I think are most at risk to being claimed.
