Preseason Week 2: San Francisco 49ers (1-0) vs. Houston Texans (1-0)…


                                                                                                        Good Afternoon and Welcome students we are back again with our preseason preview of the San Francisco 49ers. This game the 49ers didn’t come out the gates gunning. But they didn’t look to shabby either. Alex didn't necessarily look like the “expert” of the offense Coach Harbaugh proclaimed him to be. But for now Alex just like the other 49er QB didn’t make any mistakes and that’s all we can ask for now…

Score: Texans 20, 49ers 9…

Offense: B (Passing Yards 149yrds, Rushing Yards 118yrds): The offense overall came out looking good early putting up at least a FG in the 1st 3 Quarters. But as we all know if you don’t score touchdowns you don’t win games. And in this game the offense scored no touchdowns…

Quarterbacks: B- (J.Johnson 4/6 64yrds, A.Smith 5/9 49yrds): Just like in the 1st game the QB’s did a decent job not making many mistakes. Actually in this game the highlight of the QB core was the lack of mistakes made. No interceptions thrown all game that is a beautiful thing…

Running Backs: B (K.Hunter 6/46yrds, L.James 4/19yrds): The Running backs didn’t have nearly as good of a day as they had in the 1st game of the preseason. But they did exceptionally well against a good Texans 1st team defense. Even while lacking 2 of their 4 head monster for this game…

Wide Receivers: B+ (R.Moss 3/24yrds, B.Tyms 2/20yrds): The WR’s in this game were one of the rare bright spots. With Randy Moss getting involved and showing the younger Wide outs how to run routes and proving that he belongs in the starting lineup. But the competition for the WR depth chart is heating up…

Defense: C+ (Passing Yards All. 160yrds, Rushing Yards All. 119yrds): The defense looked good for missing one of their best linebackers (Smith) and a solid cornerback (Cox). But these were not excuses for a squad that believes in the coach’s next man up policy. And the backups stepped up to try to earn a spot on the 53 man roster at a position where the 49ers need depth…

Overall: B-
