49ers Preseason Week 3 2016 - Thoughts after rewatching the game...

PERSONALLY, out of the 3 preseason games, this game has been the worst showmanship all around.

You guys know that the packers went for it on 4th Down 6 times right? Lol preseason

+ Ray Ray Armstrong showed he is the best candidate to start alongside Bowman at ILB against the Rams

+ Ronald Blair will contribute at DE and OLB this year , the guy has a non stop motor and high ceiling , we need to find ways to get him as many snaps as possible

+ Will Redmond looked solid and was tough against the run as a nickel corner

+ We should be ok at OLB , Brooks, Harold, Carradine and Rush should hold the fort down until Lynch comes back

+ Harris didn't Fumble

+ Mike Davis continues to improve and display playmaking potential




- Our QB play was sloppy and looked out of rhythm , lots of room for improvement

- the Cupboard is damn near empty at WR, we need a playmaker or two added to the roster , Ellington is STILL very fragile, and there is NO depth

Yes. Got comical at one point.

Doesn't change that the QBs couldn't keep the offense on the field. Honestly, the D has looked much better in preseason than I'd anticipated. We'll have to see if that continues when the real bullets start flying.

Driskel looked good imo, much improved. Those drops by the WR in his first two drives were ridiculous.

Yeah, 3rd and 9 and we go Fangio and Robinson plays 10 yards off for an easy first down. Arg.

Yup, Rush looked good again, McCray is back in on ST's, QB decision is a done deal, our firsts matched their firsts, etc. But after that, bad night for everyone really. We're lucky we didn't have any huge injury losses; it just seemed like one of those nights where we were off and ill prepared after the ones.

Can we beat the Rams in week 1?

What I'm wondering is that Kap has all this talent, is he uncoachable? He just seems like a very stubborn personality. Goes back to when he made the "I'm not big on mechanics." comment.

Yeah the key is "after the 1s". I thought the 49ers held their own in the 1st quarter. Having McCray back is nice. I hope they find a spot for him on the 53. I thought Chris Davis looked bad after some solid games. Randell Cobb is the best competition he's gone against and it showed.

Yes. Their QB situation could be worse than ours. We definitely have a better offensive coach. Both teams will have the same game plan to stop the running back. It will be which defense comes through and which offense makes less mistakes.

that will happen when you spend that many high picks on the defensive side

further assessment...the extreme lack of talent at the WR position has me feeling very uneasy with our QB's potential production. I see a lot of TE plays/

And the Lambs do not have a very good o-line.

My 9ers are not going to be entertaining this year. Time to spend my hard earned money to go see Stanford play football, at least the team has calss and McCaffrey is a stud.

I have been a fan of CK7 since he brought electricity to the field, unfortunately his play has not evolved and now defenses have him figured out. Time to eat the $$$ and l and let him go. Gabbert, Driskel and Ponder are all better than him at the qb position.

It is going to be a long year. My sympathy to the PSL holders.
