San Francisco 49ers vs. Denver Broncos: Preseason Week 1
The San Francisco 49ers play football today!

Daily changes to the unofficial depth chart resembles a roulette wheel.
ReplyDeleteRookies still need to earn it, but I expect there will be some movement in the depth chart before the season begins.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if there is any significance in having Mykel Williams ahead of Bryce Huff in the depth chart. At the very least the rookie is trending the right direction.
ReplyDeleteBased on camp reports and how the CB D-chart looks, I think Luter Jr is gonna be the odd man out and will be this year's Samuel Womack.
Demo, Green, Brown, Stout, Flowers are locks. We keep 6 CBs usually, so this probably means 1 spot for Jakob Robinson, Chase Lucas, Darell Luter Jr and Eli Apple. Comes down to Special teams contribution I guess. But I don't see Luter making this team.... Jakob Robinson won't clear waivers and the rookie is making at least one play a day with his PBUs.
On defense... they always list base as the starters, but base is not really what determines games, unless you absolutely suck at run D. Teams are in some variation of Nickel about 2.5x more than base.
DeleteFor Example in 2023 SF was in base on about 20% of their snaps and in nickel at around 79%.
Lest you think this was unique to Wilkes, The Jets under Salah were in base only 16% of the time and in nickel on slightly over 80% of their defensive snaps.
Needless to say Huff will get a lot of Reps even as a situational pass rusher, with the exception of Big Nickel packages.
*one curious note* in 2023 SF had no snaps recorded in Dime packages while the Jets utilized on 2.6% of their defensive snaps.
I had Robinson over Luter going into camp. I've heard nothing to change my mind.
ReplyDeleteRookie S Marques Sigle got some reps with the 1's.
ReplyDelete“I love Farrell. He’s one of the best run-blocking tight ends I’ve seen in a long time,” 49ers offensive line coach Chris Foerster said. With Juice out we're seeing a lot of 22 personnel.

Everyone knows the reason. It's because when the Kansas City Chiefs are behind to start the 4th qtr, the NFL Refs kick into high gear. No defensive player will come within five yards of Patrick Mahomes in the 4th. You could blitz five Nick Bosas without success, which is why I NEVER watch a Chiefs game. Totally phony, fake football. The only way to combat this is to control the ball and try to run out the clock.
ReplyDeleteDid you watch last years SB? The Eagles D line ate Mahomes alive in the 4th quarter. Refs have been protecting super star QBs for the last 25 years or so. Hell if a player even breathed on Brady he was called for roughing the passer. Protecting the super stars isn't only happening in the NFL how do you explain Wilt Chamberlin never fouling out of one single game in his entire career.
DeleteHmm, Lombardi suggest that a Purdy, Garoppolo, Darnold starting QB's in the NFC west.
ReplyDeleteIsaiah Neyor is signed by Green Bay. I was hoping that he would not sign elsewhere and be brought back and placed on PS.
ReplyDeleteI was not to be.
The biggest issue with Neyor is that he disappears too much.
DeleteApparently, that seems to be the issue.
Delete49ers worked out several defensive tackles today:
ReplyDeleteSiaki Ika
Pheldarius Payne
Shakel Brown
Michael Dwumfour
I liked Siaki Ika coming out of college. He was stout DT with very good strength. I'm a little surprised that he's been on 3 different teams in his early career.
ReplyDelete49ers health by season:
ReplyDelete2024: #1 most injured
2023: #29 most injured ◄ 12-5, lost SB
2022: #9 most injured ◄ 13-4, lost NFCCG
2021: #3 most injured
2020: #1 most injured
2019: #6 most injured ◄ 13-3, lost SB
2018: #4 most injured
Looking forward to this season. I think the offense will bounce back, but the defense may struggle through the first half of the season if there are several rookie starters.
ReplyDeleteBeen a day or two eh Mid. Welcome back.
DeleteAppreciate it Under. It's good to be back.
DeleteWelcome back, MWD.
DeleteThanks AES.
DeleteNiners have signed QB Tanner Mordecai and placed WR Equanimeous St. Brown on IR, per the team.
ReplyDeleteThey're going through WRs like water.
DeleteKreug said that Sebastian Valdez dominated against Denver. Thinks the best pass-rushing line would move Williams inside along with Valdez with Bosa and Huff outside.
ReplyDeleteValdez did 34 reps with 225. Sounds like 300 lbs. of muscle. I'm stoked
Yes. Valdez over West and he thinks West has been showing greatness, too. High praise.
ReplyDeleteWe should have a much better idea of how good, or bad, the 9ers are after they play the Broncos. Especially the 9er O against the Denver D.
ReplyDeleteI'm not putting any weight on tomorrow's game. It's only a preseason game and the first one out of three. This is solely about keeping your starters healthy and evaluating the young players. I just want to see which players are going to improve by the last preseason game.
ReplyDeleteSame here. The only thing I am paying attention to is what the team's depth is like.
DeleteI want to see how all the rookies are looking. Could care less about the score.
DeleteI am usually into the first half even most of the 3rd quarter but after that I have a hard time staying awake. Greg Papa won't be calling the game, I hope his replacement realizes that most of us don't know the new players by their numbers and identifies them by name.
ReplyDeleteHopefully we'll see some good diamonds in the rough tomorrow.
DeleteAs a guy that roots for the underdog (aka the 1st "Rocky" movie) I'll be pulling for UDFA Sebastian Valdez.
