Preseason 2023: 49ers vs Broncos - Game 2 | Page 46

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.

Screen game burning us

Bosa would have intercepted that screen pass.

And sacked the QB as well

Broncos aren't exactly lighting up the scoreboard.

No, which is important, but we've had a hard time stopping them on third down and they've sustained some long drives, clock eaters.

Wiks is trying to master the Wide 9. I"ve noticed he's going away from it on more than a couple of times.

It might take a few weeks for the defense to jell with the new DC

The Wide 9 is so weak against the run, that Wilks, I think is kind of strugling between run blitzing and doing stunt/slants. LIke you said, hes a new DC. He still doesn't have the feel of it the way Demeco did.
