Preseason 2023: 49ers vs Broncos - Game 2 | Page 42

OnTheClock · 2023-08-17T12:37:45-07:00

It sounds like we may play some starters. Overall, the 10 guys I'm most looking forward to seeing Saturday are: 1. QB Trey Lance - Plain and simple, I'd like to see improvement. Bounce back and chalk up the first game to rust, nerves, etc. and make the QB2 competition a legit discussion again. 2. QB Sam Darnold - Let's build on a good first preseason game. 3. OL Ilm Manning - Dude was lights out, arguably the best player on offense against the Raiders. I want to see more. 4. K Jake Moody - Same as with Lance, let's rebound and put the past behind us. 5. CB AJ Parker - Top graded player in the secondary against the Raiders. I'd love to see him keep balling and take hold of the NCB role. 6. CB D'Shawn Jamison - Looking for more consistency at CB, but excited to see him get more looks at KR/PR. 7. S Tayler Hawkins - Wilks straight up said Hawkins is his "favorite player". I didn't pay attention to him much in game 1. Let's see what the fuss is about. 8. DT Kalia Davis - I'm hoping he plays so we can see if he's any better than the rest of the IDL who got blown off the ball on Sunday. 9. DE Robert Beal - Eager to get a look at his pass rushing skill, hoping he plays too. 10. TE Brayden Willis - Don't recall seeing him in game one, hoping he gets some passes his way this week.

Mr Bond, they have a saying in Chicago: 'Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action.

Yikes. Bell is wildly up and down. Makes a good play and then causes an interception. Also had that fumble earlier he was lucky to not lose.

Talent wise? He can play. He has to clean up these basic mistakes.

So would Trey. But Sam is a great 2

Bell is definitely going to make this team but he needs to improve his concentration. He had a drop issue at Michigan at one point as well.

I don't mind. I think Kyle wants to see Darnold more, but that interception wasn't his fault. Might see Trey next. Trey better dominate the 4th Qtr or the Trey thread is going to be miserable for Trey fans.

Where is that photoshop of Michael Crabtree's "Did I tip that?" 😂

Sucks that it goes on Darnold's stats because that was not his fault.

Threw it too hard. Needs to learn how to throw with touch.

He caught it with his head. He just needs more Velcro on his helmet. That's all
