We're back!
Join Matt Andruscavage and former 49ers running back Dexter Carter as they review last night's preseason game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys.
The Good:
1) Defensive line depth
Sheldon Day and Julian Taylor are going to have a sizable role on the defensive line rotation and they both look good.
DeForest Buckner is a stud. Hopefully Arik Armstead can get healthy and also be a part of this unit.
2) Wide Receivers
7th round pick Richie James could make a real push to make the team. He was teriffic yesterday with 4 catches for 46 yards and a touchdown.
Dante Pettis had a very nice 53 yard reception, Kendrick Bourne had 3 catches for 31 yards, and Victor Bolden Jr had 3 catches for 54 yards.
They won't be able to keep everyone, but the guys that are on the team should all contribute this year.
3) Joe Williams had a decent game and got into the endzone and didn't fumble, which bodes well for him. Raheem Mostert also had a good game, despite a fumble.
The Bad
1) Jimmie Ward got beat for a touchdown early and things are not looking good for him right now. He needs to improve in a hurry.
2) Turnovers hurt the team. Hopefully, they'll have less as the preseason continues.
The Ugly
The injury bug struck early and often. Malcolm Smith left the game early with a hamstring injury.
George Kittle had a concerning shoulder injury which could sideline him for a few weeks.
Matt Breida had a shoulder injury that is not believed to be serious.
Solomon Thomas had a head injury, but nothing is being reported about the severity at this time.
