San Fran - What do you know...

[Jeremy Igo]

Haven't watched them this preseason. 

Plan on going back and watching some this week. 

 

Until then... What have you seen from them? 

Biggest areas of concern?

Biggest areas to exploit?

Brian Hoyer at QB enuff said.

Defense one of the worst in the league.

Receivers aren't much with Garcon, Goodwin & Taylor(TE)

RB's/FB could be an issue with Carlos Hyde and Kyle Juszczyk but that is about it.

[Jeremy Igo]

Didn't they look pretty good thought? That is what I kept hearing.

They looked strong on both sides of the ball in their 3rd pre season game. Hoyer was damn near perfect. Underestimate them if you want to.

I think teams can look good in Pre Season but when push comes to shove and the games count the money is on the line and the cream of the crop rises. The 49ers are far from the cream. You don't win with a defense that is listed at 31 out of 32 teams against the 1st string team all 4 quarters(No Way). Not many playmakers on the team. OK, I'll give them Hyde and maybe even Garcon but that is it.

Foster is a stud (Saints whiffed on Barnett, Foster, Mahomes, and Malcolm Butler (trade)) in the 1st Round.

They've got athletic DL with length they've drafted in the 1st in recent years.

McDonald and Brooks are gone.

IF they beat us, everything that we've hoped for since 2011 goes up in flames.  No reason for building foundations, keeping up with the draft, having a franchise QB, staff continuity, etc.

There are NO excuses to lose to this football team.

[Shocker]

We should really be unbeaten going to New England.  Really anything less is unacceptable.

Biggest concern: San Fran pass rush. 

Biggest exploit: Run it !!!!! .. You remember that streak we had with like 20 games with 100+ rushing yards(it was something crazy like that)...well they are almost undefeated whenever the opposing team fails to reach 100 yards rush....atleast somewhere around the last 10 times this has happened. 

Answer: Stew, Stew, Stew..and when they get gassed = run CMC.

Although the Qb situation over there is garbage, I wouldn't sleep on them.

[iamhubby1]

I know they have a Michigan State QB at the helm. Yea!!!!!!

 

The 1st teamers looked pretty good last week. But...they are a lower tiered team trying to build a winner. We should be able to start the year off with a bang, and take this one.

That was last year though. We were 6-10 last year. If we expect the Panthers to be better, then why shouldn't we at least allow for the possibility that the 49ers could be better?

They don't have one returning WR from last years roster, all fresh faces, obviously that plays into our favor as far as chemistry is concerned, so our secondary should hold their own this game. 

Starting WR's: Pierre Garcon & Marquise Goodwin. 

Pierre Garcon - Going in his 10th year, had 79 rec. for 1,041 yards last year.

Marquise Goodwin  - Coming off a career "high", 29 rec. for 431 yards. 

I suppose Bradberry will be on Garcon & Worley on Goodwin. I like our odds in the back end this game.

I watched the first half of their game against the Vikes. I thought they looked quite good. Vikes couldn't move the ball at all. Their DL is impressive.Reuben Foster looked great at LB. They have a ST guy called Bolden who made some amazing runs after catch. Saw an amazing long Goodwin TD. I was a big fan of TE Kittle who scored a nice pre-season TD. Surprised they cut Kerley though..

Preseason is preseason but their first team destroyed the Vikings' first team.

That was the third preseason game, yes?
