Yeah

Two years in a row the 49er lose their RB1 in week 1. Hope there isn't structural damage.

#49ers RB Eli Mitchell, who was quickly ruled out yesterday with a knee injury, is expected to miss some time, source said. He has an MRI this morning and that will determine the full extent. But Mitchell looking at a few weeks (or more) on the sidelines.

I don't know what the results are yet but he might have ended up lucky given how wet the field was so his foot slid out. If that was artificial grass on a hot day, that knee is split in half.

And key Defensive players Ryans builds around up to week 1 (Verrett and Ward).

At least this time around we're more equipped to handle it.

Mostert's injury last season allowed Mitchell to show himself. Can Mitchell's injury allow us to see Mason as the hidden gem?

All of a sudden our depth at RB is not that great. Let Hasty and Sermon go and now Mitchell is hurt. So we are down to just Wilson, TDP, and Mason. Did anybody claim Mack yet after the Texans released him?

Yeah

Really? I don't think player deliberately try and injure other players. They all know that it can happen to them if they get that reputation. Players often dive in to make a tackle and the target is moving. They can't precisely aim their tackle. It's one reason I hate the personal foul with targeting. Even the late hit on the QB. Sliding late makes it hard for a defender to avoid contact when he's already committed himself. These guys are all over 200 lbs and moving fast. It's not that easy to avoid some of that contact.

The rule was introduced to try and cut down on the brutal hits. Hits where the crown of the helmet is intentionally used as a weapon. The problem is they don't allow for incidental contact. Any contact is treated the same. One of the late hits on Fields yesterday actually had little if any contact. I slowed it down and the defender reached over the top of Fields as he was lying on the ground and threw his body off to the side. He barely touched him.The defender should know better and not give the official a chance to throw a flag but when there is at least an attempt to avoid the contact and there is no hard hit there shouldn't be a flag. Same goes with an incidental contact with a face mask or the helmet of the QB.

I've heard many older QBs say that the rules have gone too far. QBs are football players too. Drilling a defenseless player is one thing. Barely touching him while trying to make a tackle is another.

our fans are terrible. that wasn't no dam intention hit to the knee.

Another player as brittle as grandmas bone china. Didn't run all preseason and didn't make it 2 quarters in the first game. Lance needed every rep in the preseason instead they barely played him. Goin got be a long season with Mr. Conservative calling plays.

The Trey Sermon fail is hurting right now.

How was the game supposed to be called while playing in a monsoon?

It's crazy how 49er RBs keep getting hurt. I don't know why the Niners system would have anything to do with it. Probably just bad luck but we lost Breida, Wilson, Mostert, and now Mitchell. Sooner or later we have to find a guy that can stay healthy for a full season.

Raincoat left. Umbrellas right. Rain boots down the middle.
