3. Some lineup notes:
- Dontae Johnson and Rashard Robinson got first-team reps at corner. Ahkello Witherspoon and Keith Reaser were up next.
- Jaquiski Tartt started at free safety in place of the injured Jimmie Ward, who was out with a minor hamstring injury.

If Spoon isn't ready for starter snaps, then I hope DJ wins the spot opposite Robinson. At least beat out Reaser on the depth chart. I wish these reports gave us more insight into what the defensive backs were doing. Playing lots of man or zone? Ward needs to hurry back. Tartt at FS is a trainwreck waiting to happen imo.

This is pretty interesting starting line up. A bit surprised Kilgore came out on the 1st team. I've alwyas been a Kilgore fan but his play last year wasn't that great. Does anybody have any real info on Fusco? I don't have a clue about this guy. Good to see Garnett take over for Beadles. Didn't Beadles struggle in a zone blocking scheme in Jacksonville? Not sure if I'm correct on that or not.

Somebody please beat out Kerley for Punt Returns. We need some speed and big plays out of hte ST

Ranked 10th best guard in 2014 by bleacher report

Pass Block37/50

An up-and-comer at the position, Brandon Fusco (6'4", 306 lbs, three seasons) has to win with leverage, technique and timing due to a smaller frame at right guard. He does well to meet defenders in the hole and can brace for impact. But if asked to handle a rip or swim move, he struggles to re-establish his feet and move with the pass-rusher. He's at his best when he's simply moving his feet laterally and able to get his hands hooked under the pads of the rusher.

Run Block42/50

A solid athlete with the movement skills to play in space, Fusco did a good job as a strong-side run-blocker. He comes off the ball with good leverage and a clean release and is best when down-blocking to seal off rushing lanes. Fusco can get a bit top-heavy at times, but we noted great improvement in his run-blocking game over the course of the season.

Overall79/100

After a disappointing 2012 season, Fusco emerged as a legitimate starter last year. His improved strength, patience and vision were notable in all aspects of his play. He could still improve in his timing and punch in pass protection, but he was one of our most improved players in 2013.

NOOOOOOOBODDDDYYYYY

speaking of juvenile things that made the vets roll their eyes when we started to lose games in the last year of his career here

You mean when over a third of the team was on ir?

Funny how many of these vets decided to quit after the Yorks bungled his firing

Coincidence? Lol

"The last time the words "49ers" and "playoffs" were even mentioned in the same sentence was in 2013, when Jim Harbaugh guided one of the deepest rosters in the NFL to three straight NFC Championship Games."

Same. Witherspoon and Johnson could be one hell of a battle esp. in they'll be playing mostly man. Witherspoon probably needs a full year to weight train and refine his technique but you never know, as I said the same about Robinson last year too.

PS: It was fun listening to Goodwin give props to Robinson now and esp. regarding his speed. I loved the breakdown you showed of those two going after each other.

Could be wrong, but as I recall part of reporters getting to watch practice is they're not allowed to write about schemes, tendencies and so on, just individual things individual players did. IIRC this is league wide.

If it's zone heavy I'd peg DJ as the favorite at RCB. If it's man heavy I'd throw Spoon's name into the hat as a possible day 1 starter while admitting I know little about him except what he's done in some college games I've watched - impressive man coverage skills. I don't know if DJ can handle a predominantly man coverage scheme. Can Spoon quickly learn zone techniques? I know little about Reaser.

That makes a lot of sense. Pretty sure coaches wouldn't appreciate reporters providing free scouting reports for the opponents.

What happened to Sus? I haven't been here for a while.

That would be huge for us!

DeAndre Smelter is the only fringe WR they'll keep on the roster as #6. Otherwise, they'll just roll with five WRs. He brings a different skill set than the other guys, and can play special teams.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Yeah, it's going to be fun to see what the team can do with all the turnover in personnel.

I'm also curious to see how the coaches refine DJ's techniques here in man under this scheme too. But yeah, Witherspoon, like Robinson last year, just seem natural in man. That could go a long way in winning a job right out of the gate depending on how Saleh wants to roll.
