Everything else appears steady thus far. Only hearing of guys getting burned for TD passes and sacks.

Quality o-line depth, someone to cover Jimmy Graham, play the ballers

Baalke better know what he's doing with the o-line because he's setting Kap up to look like rookie Alex Smith with that right side of the o-line. Essentially we have back ups starting on our o-line. # Anthony come back! #Buy Quality Depth

Unless J.Tartt is Ronnie Lott/P.Willis 2.0 I'm afraid of Jimmy Graham. I hope Mangini doesn't pull a Houdini and rekindles his Mangenius to make management look ingenious for hiring him. #P.Willis Come back you can wear sandals! #Take my toes!

We never play the players that ball their azz's off! Remember Lavelle Hawkins? Q. Patton was hurt his rookie year but he never got the touches when he was healthy. DeAndrew White probably won't see the field even though he's mentioned everyday, they will force whoever on the field whether it's Bruce El or J. Simpson. # Let the kids play!

We have been able to keep graham in check for most part of the games...now we will see if we still can under mangini

With the new coaches...you shouldn't expect them to act like the last regime with holding players back. Tomsula expressed he wants to play the players

players' conditioning....

More like player, singular

rents due and i only got a dollar to my name ..

QB and new Coach. How is Kaep going to be after JH left and Tomsula is he just another "ra ra" coach or will he able to excecute.

Have to say that I'm pretty optimistic heading into this season even after all the changes of this past year, however, 2 things worry me. Eric Pears and Shareece Wright as projected starters. Oh and btw Seattle cut a descent starting defensive tackle this morning Tony McDaniel

Very true. We do not have a good 2nd cb and hope if we do goto the playoffs he does not get exposed.

The right side of the ol is the other worry. Pears was an above average rt but Martin??? Who knows. He better improve or else just out b Thomas in there. He already is dry good at pass pro.

Yea but P. Willi typically did great against Jimmy but he's gone everyone else was too short and too weak. Now maybe we put Donte Johnson on him or Pop Tarrt hopefully.

Remember Jimmy 5 for 100+ and 2 Tds Divisional round Hitner getting Moss'd by him and last year 10 for 76 and 2 Tds if it wasn't for the "Cox Flop" he would've had well over a 100 and 3 tds. The Shehawks has alot more than Graham for us to worry about unlike the Saints. We're apparently going to need help stopping Doug Baldwin too because he always makes "A catch" that kills us

I hope for the best.

Got to figure in scheme as well...they had it setup were Ward was one-on-one against players like Marshall and Graham. That's as much a problem from the coaching staff as it is for Ward.

I like the Tarrt pick

I worry about the offensive line. I don't think Pears should be a starter.

As for the defensive backs, I'm not as worried. If Wright is stinking it up, then Chris Cook, Dontae Johnson, Jimmie Ward, Keith Reaser, and Kenneth Acker will be more than happy to compete for that starting spot. I think all those guys have talent and Cook and Johnson impressed me last year in the preseason//regular season.

Agree

I remember and that's why I said we contained him most of the game as graham padded his stats at the very end of those games.

Willis never covered graham that I can remember and who do you think covered graham last year when Willis didn't even play?

I think graham is going to ruin their offense

Turnovers

in the 8 loses last year 15 turnovers
in the 8 wins 7 turnovers

Very good point...pressing, mental mistakes, % passing plays, 2nd and 3rd and longs and forcing things (more predictable), etc.

My worry is that moving Boone to LG smells of contract not football issues. Is Tomsula the stooge for Baalke? Yes, I've heard the argument about taking over for Staley. But what if the RT is injured?

Staley is signed until like 2019 or something lol...he doesn't make as much as other LT and is a top 5 LT Boone would want just as much...I just don't see where your going with this?

Keeping Boone from a starting tackle position reduces his value. But at the same time, Tomsula admits that Boone is the first backup tackle. Can Pears be considered a better tackle? No way.

Injuries.

No other worry comes close.
