Preseason GM 3: the 49ers

Anyone else surprised that Mack seems to be buried as third team? Pierce clear #1, then Burkhead? Is that the rotation in the season?

I can see Mack not making the team. Or inactive on game days. A backup RB who does not play ST usually doesn’t stick around.
 
Well, if nothing else, they looked like a competent football team.

Defense very impressive. Pierce very VERY impressive.

Mills? Eh. Can’t say he was horrible, but he was far from good. 4.6 Y/A, 23.4 passer rating. Even if you consider the pick wasn’t his fault, a 63.0 passer rating without the pick included.
 
First half positives:

Pierce - good lord
O-line - looks much improved
Hinish - very disruptive
Greenard - great job protecting the edge
Hughes - doing everything well
Pitre - all over the field
King - great pick
Yiadom - hell of an effort on the near pick

Did they ever throw at Stingley?
O line without Tunsil and mostly without Green. Britt not playing at center either.
 
Burkhead has no juice, speed or mass @ this point it’s obvious moxie will not carry the day.
They’re not going to use him to do much running though. He’ll be more involved in the pass game. And again, who are they keeping over him?
 
Finally…damn good throw by Mills. Overall, he is what I thought but nice to see a ray of hope.

I’ve also been trying like hell to key in on K Green. It’s difficult from the side view you get on TV, but with that said the kid looks pretty damn good. Certainly better even today then any other choice at LG. My opinion - he is my opening day starter.
