(Pre) Game Day! The First Day of the 2022 of the Season

Here we go. I’m sure we get one series or 2 out of the first string, if that. But here is your 2022 Niners!!!!!

We have a top 3 defense, some highly talented skill players, and a bit of a questionable interior line.

The main thing that may hold this team back is the guards and the center. As we know already, Trey is getting a LOT of practice running for his life and making plays out of the pocket.

The hope is, playing against lesser D lines will give Lance time to make throws out of the pocket,

The rest of the team is nails. If the offense can produce at even a top 8 level, the Niners should be up there with the best teams in the league.

Here we go!!!

    Hasty playing his way off the team.

    GB has a FG kicker named Brkic. and he missed a 27 yard FG by 30 yards!

    Zach Wilson with a non-contact knee injury on the field of doom in Philly. Up there with the Meadowlands for death turf.

      I really like Saleh and hoped the Jets would do something but it looks like it might be a long time coming.

    Yeah. It’s a shame that these fucking cheapskate owners can’t put grass on their fields. Their star players go down like flies and they scratch their heads and wonder why.

    OMG. We still have Dontae Johnson? I’ll go out on a limb and say he won’t make the cut.

    Purdy with a nice little drive. Bought time and made throws. And the back corner fade works.

    • Winder's avatar Winder says:

      I think all 3 qb’s are keepers. guarantee Johnson makes the team, probably on the protected list of ps players. He doesn’t do anything real well but he plays all the positions and knows the defense.

    Hey. 4-5 90 yards, TD. Line was OK. Defense, even with the backups looked decent.

    Even Sudfeld had a nice deep ball.

      We will be ok as long as we stay healthy. Lance is gonna have some burps but i think he has the ability and character to work through it. I like Grey already. And, the book on Womack is that he has a nose for the ball. Love it. We need our draft picks to come through cause we fucked up on a lot of em already.

    Hard to get a good read on Lance with only 2 series. He looked not so good and then OK, then great on that long pass. Having said that, my gut feeling is he struggles for the first half of the season but has 2 or 3 very good games. In the 2nd half of the season, it starts slowing down for him and he looks like the real deal.

    My biggest initial concern is throwing too hard late and too high. He started the game doing just that, but he seemed to settle down a little. Would have loved to see one or two more series. My 2nd concern is will he anticipate routes and throw on time. He threw a couple late yesterday. I think his arm strength allowed him to wait for the route in college. That won’t work in the pros. This is a typical problem for strong armed QBs when they go pro.

    My gut feeling says that will be his biggest learning curve. I think he’ll get it, but we’ll need to be a bit patient. Once he gets a feel for that he’ll start putting more touch on the ball. Having time to throw will have a lot to do with how fast he gets ‘it’. With a good running game and time to throw he could come around, with consistency, in about 3 or 4 weeks. It can be a bit of a catch 22 situation. The running game might not come around until he starts getting ‘it’. One thing he does have that Jimmy G struggled with, is the ability to throw over the top of the defense.

    On draft weekend, I like reading up on our picks. I would bet that most of us do the same thing. The comments on two picks got me very excited to see them play. They were Gray and Womack. They got me even more excited after seeing them play. Womack reminds me of K’Waun Williams. Watching Gray on that long TD, he runs a little like John Taylor. I can’t wait to see more.

    Yeah, the coverage early was solid. And yeah, Lance was late, esp on the sideline pass to Grey. But Grey is showing pretty good hands. Small sample but good.

    Jesus looks like the 49ers dodged a bullet with their 1st rd pick Drake Jackson who left after chasing down Love near the sidelines and immediately was holding his right shoulder as he went into the dreaded blue tent. Sounds like a stinger instead of a separation. But ferchrissakes take the rest of the preseason off along with BOSA!!
    Lot to like about Gray with his speed just wondering if gets lots of chances when u have a lot of mouths to feed,Samuel,Kittle,Ayiuk,Jennings,Mitchell etc..
    One guy I might go after near the end of my draft is Packer WR Romeo Doobs out of UNR this kid is real special and Rodgers loves this kids tenacity and needs impact receivers after losing Adams&Valdez better upside for Doobs over Gray imo

  12. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    We have needed a true slinger for a long-long time. I just hope the kid can do it. This is his learning year so maybe not this year but by next.
