Bears: Out - T Chris Williams, G Terrence Metcalf, TE Desmond Clark
The Bears struggled last season but are still a defensive force to be reckoned with. This is might be the most important game of the preseason considering we'll see the most playing time for the first teamers.
The 49ers have plenty of issues to resolve but they are definitely starting to get some answers. Even as an "Alex Smith guy," I think the best bet right now is for J.T. O'Sullivan to have a solid performance and lock down the #1 job. He's spent the most time with the first team offense and has hopefully developed some nice chemistry. And if he struggles, well hopefully Smith has a good performance.
One quick unrelated point, I've gotten interest from 6 folks for our 4th and final Niners Nation Fantasy Football League. If you aren't in a league and haven't let me know of your interest, either leave a comment in the game thread or email me at ninersnation@gmail.com. I'd like 6 more people to make it a 12-team league so hopefully we can get 6 more folks. And remember, there WILL be prizes (and not just a front page post!).
As always, if you feel like joining the conversation, click on "Sign Up" on the top left side of the front page, or "Sign Up" at the bottom of the comments for this thread. Either way, your opinions and insights are greatly appreciated and welcomed.
I'll be back with a recap late tonight or early tomorrow.
GO NINERS!

Combo coverage is tough, because neither the underneath player in the flat nor the rover can move out of position, and the temptation is way too high.

As bad as he’s looked sometimes, Alex still w/ no TOs, and he’s scored on his drives.

This is worrying me
his shoulder may not be 100%, because he normally can throw the ball very deep.

So, has Alex Smith's 35% completions finally ended this competition?
by Cruithear on Aug 21, 2008 7:23 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
He scores points and doesn't turn the ball over,
but yes, his accuracy and deep ball is pretty awful. Methinks his shoulder isn’t fully healed.
by bondslegend on Aug 21, 2008 7:24 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
But, JT scored points and didn’t turn the ball over (this week), AND went 7/8 =D

Yes
by bondslegend on Aug 21, 2008 7:26 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
But
Alex has had plenty of time to develop (perhaps not in the system, I realize he’s had his share of coaches/systems), but JT has shown solid improvement whereas Smith still looks a bit rough.
by Cruithear on Aug 21, 2008 7:27 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
JT has 1 year in the system already,
but I do agree- you’d think AS’ accuracy would at least be OK by now.

It’s funny, I watched Morgan at every Tech home game (and every broadcasted game) last year and he wasn’t NEARLY as impressive for us. At least he’s doing well now, and he went to my favorite team!

Patrick Willis
I just saw the interview he did with Chris Myers and man was I impressed. I am a Colts fan and during the ’07 draft I believe (when he was drafted) I saw what he did at the senior bowl on NFL Network and saw scouting tape on him. I was so hoping we could have drafted him since he fits the Colts cover 2 perfectly. Now after listening to the interview I know he would have fit the personality the Colts look for on there team.
You guys have yourself quite a player in Willis and im looking for him to have a monster year. Good luck to the Niners.

PS
Shaun Hill didn’t even get a chance. All he did is handoff and throw screen passes.
I guess my love affair for Shaun Hill is really that he stepped in from nowhere and partially redeemed our season from hell last year. I think he deserves better than this. Shame on you, Mike Martz, shame on you.
by Rishi on Aug 21, 2008 8:44 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I agree with you, I don’t feel like Shaun Hill is getting a fair shot, I thought he played pretty good tonight,
I just don’t understand why he is just put out there against the third team and not even given a shot at a first team defense. For it to be an even QB competition shouldn’t each guy get at least 1 start? Then the guy who played best could get the start for the 4th game.
BTW funniest quote of the night " I think Mike Nolan is an honest guy." -Troy Aikman…..that guy had me cracking up all night. he is terrible.

I love the guy too, but he can’t throw downfield, and that’s what you need to play in Martz’ offense.
