First off, you just have to love the preseason for the simple fact that the 49ers are a 2 point favorite against the Packers. I'd imagine some of that has to do with Ryan Grant likely out of the game. Well and Brett Favre moving on I suppose.
J.T. O'Sullivan will be getting most if not all of the first half snaps, so he's in a good position to take serious control of this QB competition. Alex Smith will get his snaps with the 2nd string offense and hopefully he can keep his head in the game.
Aside from the mess that is the QB competition, I'm wildly intrigued by Josh Morgan's matchup this evening. Tonight could go a long way in building confidence in the rookie.
Additional Players to WatchCam Colvin & Dominique Zeigler - possibly battling for a practice squad spot
Louis Holmes - I still think he's a longshot for the 53-man roster, but if he can make some plays tonight that could change
Joe Staley - Struggled a bit in his LT debut, so hopefully he'll show some improvement tonight
Takeo Spikes & Jeff Ulbrich - Spikes makes his debut with the 49ers, while Ulbrich is looking to open some more eyes and retain playing time
The defensive front 7 - A little pass rush would be nice fellas.
