Our receiving core is subpar to say the least but the good news is that its still early and there's still plenty of time for someone to elevate their game to regular season standards.

Depth is really my only concern and they still have three weeks to improve and I expect them all to improve. Any chance Boldin can play both WR spots at the same time until someone steps up?

WR's (and I'm not sold on Manningham or Williams)
Backup QB's
And the fact CK can't throw left (have this feeling he's going to be exposed)
On the plus side:
LMJ
Mackie D

Seriously, this is the first time I've ever seen anyone with that concern. What exactly gives you that impression? Because my recollection is that he threw quite a few nice passes down the left sideline last season.

Our biggest need is still a vet swing tackle

True. But, he favors the right - rolls out, locks in and goes. SB? Last drive. He gets away with it because he's very athletic. And I think this really shortens the field and options in the red-zone.
I know you're a huge fan, GNielson, but I have my doubts.

Absolutely nothing.
You can say backup OT but 34 NFL trams always want, yes, I know there are not 34 teams.

Our D is solid , only gave up 3 points. We don't have quality backups on the offense .

Since our first team didn't turn it over, I'm not too concerned. I didn't like seeing LMJ fumble near the opposite endzone nor did I like seeing AJ fumble. Those guys are going to be playing with the first team from time to time, so I'd like to see them make an effort to secure the ball better. The rest of the turnovers (and lack of production in general) were largely a product of very poor blocking by guys who are never going to make the team to begin with.
I thought it was Harper that fumbled? At least that is what Ryan said.

LMJ fumbled but we recovered. It wasn't a TO.
LMJ has now fumbled in back to back games..not good

Oh yeah, i believe it was a bad hand off. Either way, should not happen.

For me it was certainly WR depth. Dont get me wrong there was flashes from guys and many didnt even play so I am not as paniced as some are, but it is looking like we need Williams and Collie to stay healthy and Rio to come back soon rather than rely on some of these dudes. Still lots of preseason left though, they all have time to change my tune.
OL...not worried we know who the backups are and they arent the problem...most of the guys you saw last night are cuts and practice squad material
CB's Cox and Aso looked great and we just added another vet body with talent.
Red zone...it was one drive..get over it.
Back up QB...this was a close second but I think the line play sort of pushes this down a bit. McCoy getting hurt could be bad... but pending the test results no panic yet.
Turnovers...they dont worry me in the first preseason game...but if the same guy has a few more scattered through the rest of the way, they might not be regular season material.
Agree with this. Also, in respect to OL, the unit plays together. We know who the backups are, and they fit in with the starter squad well.
