i really think we have the best running back trio + 1 combo in the league. Bush was bustin’ through the niners D, Rankin was running outside the blockers, and McFadden showed his leg strength of refusing to go down ( which many “analyst” said was one of his weaknessess). Didn’t really see fargas that much since i tuned in late in the game, but judging from what he did last year… our backfield core is more than on point.

It is clear he is the starting QB, also clear he needs a lot of work, so why not play him? Are we going to wait for the opener to give him experience? He did not look good, and we cannot win without superior play from him. I don’t put much importance on anything that happened in the 2nd half, by then a whole lot of guys are playing that will not be on the final roster. I liked the overall speed of the team, and the aggressiveness.

too much about Russel yet. I think he looked okay. They didn’t run too many passing plays for him and he had a couple nice plays. I remember he threw a great touch pass that javon walker dropped.

was ok. Our return game looked good but on kickoffs and punts I felt we gave up too many yards. I do agree that Trevor Scott was impressive. He put alot of pressure on the QB. Kalimba Edwards played great as well. My main concern is with the passing game. Our recievers have got to get open. Saw alot of check down passes to the RB’s and FB’s. This worries me when we get into the 3rd and 7 territory. I’m glad this was the first preseason game so we can get this fixed.

I think shaw stood out from the back up defensive tackles. Also, rankin did have a big run, but he was stopped multiple times for no gain, somethng I wasnt happy about. Henderson continues to have problems, even with the crow relative quiet, he had a false start.

One thing I dont understand.. when we went for it on 4th down, the crowd went nuts, walter even had to do the hush movement, i think people should shut the hell up when we have a 4th down opportunity,, just my 2

for that money I want Russell to be WAAAAAAAAAAAY better than McNabb. We don’t need an overrated QB blaming his poor playing on his ethnics. I think he will play more next game, and Kiffin’s not happy either. But w/ the Running Trifecta, at least that’s one less problem we have to deal with on the offense.

As far as the injuries, the guys who stayed out or didn’t play would have played if it was a real game. It is football after all, and guys get hurt all the time, it is a violent game.
We have to get a lot more from Russell but in his defense he hardly played enough to get any feeling for the game. After the first series, 8 of the 11 starters on defense was taken out of the game so how can you read anything into the outcome? The next game against Tennessee will be a better barometer of this team. I would expect the 1st string to play a lot more, and Tennessee is a much better team than the 49ers. We should know a lot more about some key players after that game.
