I think we're going to run the ball a ton to start the season because of the WR situation, and mix in PA passes. Kap is going to make any of our WRs look good, but I feel the bulk of the receptions are going to Boldin/VD/KW weeks 1-3 or 4 until we find our breakout guy or until MM comes back healthy. Jenkins is getting plenty of opps and just isn't making the best of them.
Just hope we survive the 1st 4-5 weeks above .500, which is pretty doable.

I didn't see the game...usually don't watch the first one, sometimes the first two of 'em. I think many of you are putting waaay too much stock in what you saw...this was the 1st preseason game for both teams, and neither distinguished themselves offensively. The Denver TD was defensive...a cheapie. The 3rd preseason game's the one to really watch...it's where the starters play the most snaps and the competition for the b/u's really gets serious. I liked the defensive output of our LB's and Reid last night, but again, I wouldn't get too excited or down based on the 1st preseason game. McDonald had 4 catches...that's encouraging. Again, though, what our guys do in the last couple of preseason games will tell us a lot more about our team than this one did.

How did Okoye lose? Did he even play?
Yup he came in with about 5 minutes left in the game as more of a DT #78. The camera angles on him were awful... Funny thing is on a few of his plays he was actually being double teamed and on some other plays he held his location well enough. He didn't do that bad.

He paid tribute to the late David Akers by blowing a 32-yard attempt.

We already run the ball too much. We have a qb who elevates the receiver play, so I don't think we will run it any more than usual. It would be absurd to run the ball 70% of the time. If anything just stay balanced, no need to rely heavily on the run.

Obviously, Lemonier, Reid, MacDonald were very nice. Lemonier is wicked fast coming off the line. He looks like he could be the real deal as a pass rusher. And some of Reid's tackles look like textbook examples on the perfect method. MacDonald was real good - one drop, but a few real good receptions. I'm not panicking on
Jenkins yet - that was a pretty good snag and quick attempt to split the defenders for YAC he had there. He just should have tucked that thing away quicker.
I loved the way all of Kap's passing plays were standard pocket plays - no running around except when he was flushed from the pocket. I noticed the great Von Miller couldn't get a hand on him. I just have a feeling Kaepernick is going to absolutely roll this year. And, he already knows he can fire one in there to Boldin even if he is tightly covered - very nice.
Bottom line - the offensive 1's sustained a seven and a half minute drive against the Bronco 1's and the defensive 1's stopped the patented Peyton Manning no-huddle without Patrick Willis and Justin Smith in the game - that's nothing but a positive showing.
The only thing that really bothered me was the O-line after the starters went out - no decent run blocking and no pass protection.

Err it was a 44 or 48 yard attempt.

It was a 44-harder. Strangely, he missed a couple in that range last season, but was 7 for 7 in attempts over 50 yards.

we do not run the ball to much.. it is what we do best. you got the best run game and run blocking line in the nfl you do need to run the ball, I think this is the type of team if you get down by two or three scores in the second half it will hard to get the ball and come back on. Please do not think we are going to start to sling it all over the field, we do not run the ball to much

I got home late and missed almost the entire first half of the game. Did our first team defense (or whats left of it) take the field?

I did up,down or even.
Michael Wilhoite - Up - Like I have said looks to be the #3 ILB favorite. I would place Moody at 4 and Stupar as not making the team.
Parys Haralson - Up - We needed him last year and losing him hurt. Glad to have him back and you better believe he is our #3 OLB.
Corey Lemonier - Up - I would put him at the #4 OLB spot
Dan Skuta - Up - 2 Sacks and could make the roster as the # 5 OLB, Johnson is in a uphill climb right now.
Eric Reid - Up - Got plenty of reps, much more than Spillman and Dahl and looks like he is the favorite to start IMO
Perrish Cox - Up - Not sure why he hasn't seen more reps as return man but had 2 great returns and did really well at CB. I would put him in a fight for #3 with Asomugha and Brock at #5.
Asomugha - Up - No idea why people keep saying he is on the roster bubble. I see him in a fight for the #3 CB behind Brown and Rogers.
Tolzien - Up - McCoy was hurt and I didn't like everything he did but has advantage on Daniels for the #3 spot as he didn't get to play.
#1 Offense - Up - Brutal watching the difference between our first string offense (OL included) and watching the 2nd and 3rd string offense and offensive line
McDonald - Up - If he can control his drops he is going to be a great safety blanket this year. Some nice blocks as well including a pancake.
Dixon - Up - Guy is running like he was suppose to years ago. With Hampton not playing? and Harper's 2 carries resulting in a fumble for TD and negative yards doesn't look like Dixon is going any where
Osgood - Up - Led us in receiving and had a few nice ST plays but he is up there in age and not sure he offers much for the future and at WR once the regular season starts.
2nd String OL - Down - Many missed blocks resulting in a touch down, a hurt QB and a fumble by Harper. Nobody really stood out to me on the OL at 2nd and 3rd string but didn't watch them too closely. Seems like Snyder and Kilgore are locks and might be one or 2 more spots available. Looney? Wiggins?
Jenkins - Down - Nice catch but has to hold onto the ball. Another time not sure what happened but wasn't looking for the ball. I hope nobody blames the int by McCoy on Jenkins because that wasn't his fault. We need to give the ball to him on some reverses and give him some easy catches to get his confidence up. If we don't we are just asking for him to fail.
Rest of WR's - Even - Collie with a nice 4th down catch, Lockette with 2 drawn penalties and a nice ST tackle at the 1, Jacobs could be PS and complete next year. Hawkins I would say down and seems out... 2 drops. Moore had a catch early and is it me or does the guy have a lot in common and look a lot like a bigger Ted Ginn? Hall I think had a catch or two but bottom line and I know it's only game one but not sure any one distance themselves from the rest. Part of it was the 2nd string OL and the QB's at times. With Boldin, Williams, Manningham as the top 3 and Patton a lock but unable to play we just need some guys to step up. Expect a lot from Davis and McDonald this year and the trio of RBs. Jenkins, Lockette, Collie, Hall, Moore, Osgood, Jacobs, Hawkins. I doubt we cut Jenkins so that leaves 1 spot (unless Manningham goes to the PUP) and we need 1 guy to stand above the rest and make it impossible to cut him. Hopefully it isn't all even at 10-30 yards a piece a game.
If anyone watched the OL (Kilgore, Looney, Wiggins etc) closely would love to here your stock watch rating. Anyone watch Okoye?
Great stuff man

I gotta give props to Parys Haralson. Nice comeback performance. He can add true veteran LB depth.
Cam Johnson was bleh.

Yes, and they dominated. Aldon and Ian Williams were in the backfield just about every play they were in. Other than Dorsey and Cam Johnson, our first, second, and third string defense played great last night.

The defensive depth is damn impressive on this team. Time to sure up the offensive depth next offseason.
