What to watch for in 49ers’ 3rd preseason game

Posted By on August 24, 2018

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (10) and San Francisco 49ers defensive back Richard Sherman (25) run extra drills after a joint NFL football practice at the Methodist Training Center in Houston, Thursday, Aug. 16, 2018. (Brett Coomer/Houston Chronicle via AP)

Before training camp, the 49ers seemed on the verge of a nine-win season. Maybe 10 wins.

Now, seven. Max.

Training camp was a bust. Eight starters injured themselves and lots of backups did, too. The 49ers are limping into the regular-season opener.

Saturday is the preseason dress rehearsal against the Indianapolis Colts. Starters will play the entire first half. Most of the injured starters will play, too. That’s the plan. If the 49ers seem rusty and unprepared, they could lose each of their first-four regular season games. The schedule is that tough. This game means something.

Of course, it’s still the preseason, not necessarily a predictor of the regular season. The 49ers have not looked good in the first two games, making this game very important.

Here’s who and what to watch for during Saturday’s dress rehearsal.

1. Richard Sherman.

  1. The optimism and promise of a winning season has waned, and I’m expecting no more than 8 wins. I could see us starting out 0-4, with a turnaround at the midway point to finish strong. It’s been a highly efficient rebuild the last 2 years, but I’m afraid we are another year away….

    1. O ye of little faith, take heart. I predicted an 8-8 season, but I am getting optimistic, and now look at 9-7, with a chance at the playoffs.
      .
      First of all, the Viking game will be pivotal. Yes, the Vikings had the best defense in the league, but they also were in a division with Detroit who struggled, Chicago with a rookie QB, and the Pack with no Rodgers. Those games padded their stats. I guess I am counting on JG being able to dice and slice them, like he did to the vaunted Jag defense.
      .
      Next, the Vikings have also been bitten by the injury bug, especially their O line. Cousins will not be able to throw while on his back.
      .
      Third, the Vikings will be prohibitive favorites, so maybe the Niners can feign weakness, and take them by surprise.
      .
      If the Niners can go 4-4 in the first half, the second half of the season is winnable. If they go 5-3 in the second half, they may end up 9-7, with a prayer to make the playoffs.
      .
      If the Niners win the opener, against a very good Viking team, they could very easily defeat Detroit, who is so desperate, they traded for Harold.
      .
      So, the Niners may jump out to a 2-0 start, and even if they lose to KC and the Chargers, they still will be 2-2. They still will have 2 games against the Cardinals, so 4-4 may be attainable for the first half. Sure, 2019 with a good draft may propel them into the playoffs, but this season, they have a decent chance to surprise the league, and sneak into a wildcard spot.

      1. Feign weakness. You are such an idiot. Yes that old tried and true Professional football strategy….. Let’s pretend we suck, then come out and show them we are good. You are delusional in addition to myriad mental health problems you regularly exhibit.

        1. Well, McKinnon kinda blew that strategy out of the water, when he mentioned his SB aspirations. Glad he is listening to JG, and has not repeated that boast.
          .
          Yes, it is an axiom for Sun Tzu and The Art of War, but I guess you want to bluster and bloviate about how good you are. Remember, arrogant generals, full of hubris, are easy to defeat. Just needle them to get them mad, and they will start making mistakes. Idiot? Just look in a mirror.

  4. Grant says… “Eight starters injured themselves and lots of backups did, too. The 49ers are limping into the regular-season opener.”

    I suspect this is true of the vast majority of teams. At least to this point we haven’t lost anyone for the season (to this point).

    And … “Of course, it’s still the preseason, not necessarily a predictor of the regular season.”

    Very, very true.

  5. Grant says… “Instead, the team hired coach Chris Kiffin, a pass-rushing specialist, hoping he will fix everything. He’s supposed to manufacture a four-man rush with the same players who struggled to produce last season. So far, Kiffin has manufactured nothing.” Um, don’t forget the somewhat promising rookie who wasn’t with the team last year.

    Finally, a take on a ‘specialist coach’! Thank you! I guess we won’t know for certain if Kiffin is a total fail until the 3rd game or so in regular season. I do recall it being noted that offenses and defenses tend to run vanilla in preseason. We’ll see won’t we.

  6. “I do recall it being noted that offenses and defenses tend to run vanilla in preseason” – Excellent observation.

    I’m trying to remember when any measure of preseason performance was close to an indication of how teams fared during the regular season. But at my age, I do forget a lot.

    1. Preseason performance as a lead-pipe-lock indicator of season success is not terribly strong. A glance at league records across the many decades bears that out. Some teams at 0 and 4 (or the old days 0 and 6) for preseason went on to have winning seasons and a few cracked the playoffs. Some teams won all their preseason games and fell well under .500. And everything in between.

      For the 9ers, what’s important is the coaching staff understanding what they have player-wise following the preseason, and scheming regular season play calling to mitigate weaknesses and exploit advantages week by week. Doing the best with what they got. A flawed coaching staff can get all that wound around the axle very quickly. Yes, player abilities are huge factors, but if the coaching staff understands what they have and don’t have–and scheme appropriately–the team’s chances of doing well are improved.

      Our record this season? If the coaching staff does exceptionally well and we avoid mass casualties, I’m thinking 9 and 7, +/- 1.

      So much fun.

  7. I think it is super hard to judge teams in preseason. Every year the first weeks are filled with surprising upsets and even experts miss a lot of picks. That said this is still a building year. I’m just hoping they are competitive in most games. I expect the pass game to be pretty good, the running game to be not so great. The run defense should be decent. Pass defense will be a liability I suspect. I think Sherman will either struggle or get reinjured. I think we need a couple more years of good drafts and wise free agent pickups to make the playoffs and be a threat.

    2. Best running back on the team. Better than McKinnon (what’s he ever done) who has not shown anything, either on this team or in his previous four years. Other than a propensity to go down as soon as he’s touched. No wiggle or power.

      1. You need to wait until at least 4 -5 regular season games have been played before you attempt to make preconceived judgment on McKinnon and his worth; it would also benefit you to look what his stats were like when he played for the Vikings.

  9. Jimmy Garoppolo has accounted for 95 percent of the offense.

    That’s dangerously high. A running game protects the quarterback. If the 49ers have no run game, Garoppolo will throw too much, get hit too much and expose himself to injury. Not what the Niners want.

    Even if the Niners can’t pick up any yards on the ground, they should just keep running, and probably in less than a totally predictable way. If it turns out the line can’t block, well, there are your priorities next offseason. That, and an excellent edge rusher or two. Otherwise it’ll be The David Carr Story all over again, with Jimmy G in the starring role. They’re better off accepting their fate and building for the future, and not putting their few excellent players in harm’s way for no good reason at all.

    Just need to hope Lynch & Co. recognize good offensive line horse flesh when they see it. The jury is still out on that one.

  10. Good article Grant.

    I will be looking to see if they play a relatively disciplined game with no pre-snap penalties!

  11. Preseason games are glorified practices.
    Determining how a team is going to play in the regular season based on preseason is futile at best.

    The Browns went 4-0 in preseason last year, then preceded to go 0-16.
    Yeah, I wouldn’t put to much weight on preseason games.

    I’ve said since last April that we are an 8-9 win team. Nothing has changed since then.

    1. Indeed. We have the ‘hot take’ bot ready to go, just waiting for the switch to be flipped on at kickoff. The fate of the 2018 season will be revealed 3 1/2 hrs later.

    2. ‘ Of course, it’s still is the preseason, not necessarily a predictor of the regular season.’
      .
      That sentence puts things in perspective.

  13. Why are all of you so down its only a preseason game! Let the doom and gloom wait till the 3rd real game. 0-3 or 3-0.

  14. Grant provides good reasons to be concerned. I can agree with most points. Kinda weird though that last year he predicted a 9-7 season after only 2 win season but this year he can’t see us winning no more than 7? With all our rookies from last year looking better and this year’s rookies looking promising too. Also, we’ve improved just about EVERY position on the team except RG and DE.

    Look, Buckner will be used on the edge ala Calais Campbell. We have Sheldon Day, Armstead, Mitchell, Solomon Thomas, Jones, and promising rookie Julian Taylor on the D-line. Our run and pass defense looks good to me.

      1. Grant, no mention at all of one of the biggest differences between the preseason, and regular season …. game planning?

        I’m kind of surprised, given as much ink as you gave Jalen Ramsey a couple months back. Jalen Ramsey basically called Shanahan a genius, and gave his scheme most of the credit for the 49ers dominating offensive performance against one of the league’s best defenses. A defense that, at that time, was dominating the NFL on a weekly basis.

        I suspect it was somewhere close to 30 years ago, probably even before that, when I vowed never to overreact to the NFL preseason. At that time, Bill Walsh’s West Coast Offense was simply beyond what NFL defenses were prepared for during the regular season. Of course, Bill Walsh was all about using the preseason to evaluate individual players, not using his genius to outscheme the competition, and I think you can draw a lot of parallels to that, and the way Kyle handles the preseason.

        ShanaLynch, IMO, have improved the Niners’ roster substantially over the last year and a half. The biggest improvement coming at the most important position in all of pro sports, the QB. But for me, their success this season is going to hinge on whether Kyle can continue to give his team an advantage in terms of scheme, how well Jimmy can execute that scheme, and how quickly this team can settle into a rhythm collectively, everyone doing their jobs at executing Kyle’s game plan, week in and week out.

        Maybe we’ll get a glimpse of Kyle’s genius, and Jimmy’s nearly flawless execution in the first half of today’s game, but I suspect this team will look quite different once Kyle starts gameplanning on a weekly basis.

        And, BTW, it’s a tough early schedule, but this team has some advantages schedule wise, during the second half of the season. I can easily see them catching fire and rolling at the end of the season, so hopefully they can hang tough early this season.

  15. This year’s offense which consists of Garoppolo, Juice, McKinnon, Garcon, Goodwin, Pettis/Taylor, Mcglinchey, Richburg, Tomlinson, Staley, and Garnett/Cooper looks way better than last years offense. Am I right?

    Plus another year in this offense means more players familiar and comfortable with the system.

    2. Bruce Wayne

      HEY BRUCE

      Hadn’t you heard…?

      THE SKY IS FALLING !!
      It happens every year about this time…without fail….10- 6

  16. OT, but many have panned Sean McVay for sitting his starters all preseason. He may be cautious, but he will also guarantee that he will have no injured starters to begin the season.
    .
    McVay has determined that saving starters until the games count, is more important than seeing them play in meaningless games, and risking injury. The Rams are a playoff team, that only got better during the FA period. They now have been fortunate to see how the backups have performed, and it will help to make assessments.
    .
    The Niners are a different story, with so many changes. They need to establish timing, and sync up the players into a cohesive unit. They need to see how the new players fit into the KS system.

  17. Grant, It’s obvious the success of 49ers in 2018 will depend on generating pass rush, ability to run the ball effectively, defending the pass, consistent QB play, low injury incidents and playing discipline football collectively. All the points made above applies to all other teams as well.

    To my opinion pre season is the time to explore certain players capabilities without scheme or scouting the other team. I do not put too much on these preseason games. The most important thing for the next few games is to stay healthy and continue to explore different player combinations to finalize the 53 roster. No need to get panicked until the first 4 games off the season. Go Niners

  18. Grant seems to vacillate between insightful commentary to total over the top speculation. This article is an example of the latter. Most of the things written and pointed out are not new, rather things that most posters on this site already knew were going to be issues. The guard position and the edge rush. We still do not know how Sherman is going to pan out, but that was also something that was considered already. Any reasonable person would wait at least till this next game was played to make an assessment. But Grant seems to like to make premature assessments.

    Of course one thing I noticed about him is that he comes across much more objective in his pod cast than in his blog. In his pod cast when he makes an observation he usually follows it with an alternative possibility. This less dogmatic approach makes his perspectives much more acceptable. He is much more convincing and personable on video. His terse writing style gives him an air of arrogance that does little to promote his views.

    I believe he should try to get into broadcasting where I believe he would excel.

  19. I was not overly optimistic this year to start with. I thought 8-8 would be a huge improvement. I really feel like we have a lot of weaknesses, most of which, are on Defense. I was happy to see them spend a 3rd rounder on Warner, but I was bummed they didn’t go for a good corner. I know they are banking on Sherman being a similar player to what he was pre-injuries, but that’s to be seen. If he can produce at his previous level, we should be ok in the secondary. Pass rush though, appears to be a big weakness. This is the 3rd preseason game, this will involve scheme and will tell us the pulse of this unit. The biggest surprise is the o-line’s in ability to create running lanes for the RB’s. I thought the offense would be the strength of this team. This could be a huge issue if the o-line cannot run block and make us 1 dimensional. I am not going to draw any conclusions until we see what this team can do when it counts.

  21. This column reminded me of the Children’s Book Chicken Little. Doom and Gloom but the sky is not falling.

  22. No tru Niners fan listens or should read your work. Errors everywhere. Plus, it seems as though you root for the failure of this team. Every article I have read that you have written has bad mouthed the organization in one way or the other. Go write somewhere else.

    1. I am a True, Die Hard Faithful Niner Fan, and I enjoy Grant’s writing.
      .
      Grant admits he is not a fan of the team, so we do not get saccharine rainbows and unicorns pablum like some other homers.
      .
      Grant is just being objective, and does his job well. He may point out weaknesses, but I like my team, warts and all.
      .
      I guess his writing is motivational. He identifies problems, makes brutally honest assessments, and challenges the team to prove him wrong. Fire tempers steel, and these past few years, I feel like the Niners have been through the crucible. Things are looking up, but they are not perfect, and everyone could improve.

      1. Sebbie…. Far over the top and self righteous as usual.

        Remember when you asserted–and defended with passion–that Lowell Cohn’s criticism made Bill Walsh successful? No Lowell criticism, no Walsh Super Bowls. So you claimed.

        1. I used to grind my teeth over what Lowell wrote, but in hindsight, I now recognize how powerfully his methodology succeeded. Lowell did challenge Walsh to prove him wrong, and it was a masterful motivational scheme, because look at the results. Even Eddie admitted he read every word Lowell wrote.
          .
          Grant is a chip off the old block.

              1. You really are an idiot to continue to make the same mistakes and use the same dialogue before you got cold feet and left!
                Where is that storm again? Still waiting!

              2. Prime, you used to try to reason with me before you started hurling insults, but I see you have cut to the chase.
                .
                The storm is coming, and Crook will be brought to justice. It is all on tape, and the Con will be exposed. Once swept out of office, the twisted anthem response will be rectified. Justice will prevail, and Kaep will win his lawsuit, voiding the CBA. That will bring the downfall of Goodell, and the players will get post career medical care. They might even cure Reefer Madness, and let the players use medicinal pot, instead of relying on opiates.
                .
                Glad the protests continue, because it allows the protesters the chance to reiterate that they are NOT disrespecting the military. The protesters are advocating for social justice, so the hate against them is a reactionary red herring. Non violent, respectful symbolic protest for social justice will not be hijacked by the alt right into a Hate America Meme. The bravery of the protesters to risk their careers for social change is deserving of praise. The blackballing of protesters will end once the storm hits, and washes away the stench of corruption.
                .
                Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. A storm’s a’ comin’. Your insult should not go unanswered.

  23. Off topic.
    It looks like Shanahan may settle on CJ Beathard as BUQB. Mullens has provided some exciting moments but he’s not a BU.

    That said, the NY Jets may have a glut at QB, with possibly Teddy Bridgewater being the odd man out.

    If TB is cut, I would feel much better with him as our BUQB than CJ and Mullens.
    Just thoughts for a Saturday morning.

    1. I think the Jets will be smart. They will keep him, then later on, trade him to a QB needy team for a high draft pick.
      .
      I agree, Niners need a better backup.

    2. Wonder if any backups out there would be a good fit for Shanahan’s system? One would think so.

    3. Lol. It obviously wasn’t Tony Dungee. It sounds like something Jim Mora Sr. would say.

    4. I’d pass only because I think he deserves a chance to be a starter, and the 49ers already have their starting QB.

      1. I think Buffalo may be the best landing spot, but the Jets may not want to trade him to a division rival.
        .
        Maybe the Jags would look hard at Bortles, and provide him with some competition.

    5. AES …

      While I agree with your stance wrt Mullins .. I
      gotta disagree (so far) with all the bad-mouthing
      about CJ …
      He was drafted in the 3rd round last year..
      (yeah maybe a bit too soon) .. but how many games
      did it take him to go from 3rd string to starter ?
      Is that enough time to become proficient
      in Shanny’s offense ? .. I think not .. besides ..

      Even though the Iowa Hawkeyes (supposedly) play
      in a “pro offense” … imo .. the speed of the game
      becomes a huge obstacle …

      He’s one tough son of a gun .. and it seems that
      all (or most) of his flaws should be easily coachable..

      I’d give him another year … or so …
      (with a vastly improved OL)
      before ..thinking..of getting rid of him..

      Who knows ? … he just ..might .. become
      a pretty good ..”serviceable ” .. back up !

      After all .. someone, here ..once said..
      ” .. It takes at least 3 years.. to determine
      the worth ..of any rookie ..”

      And I’m willing to give him.. that.. chance

    1. Sebbie would approve, he just loved Hoyer in August of 2017…the 27th to be exact:

      August 27, 2017 at 6:18 pm
      If Hoyer can play like that, I will not mind if Kaep is blackballed.

      1. Trying too hard?
        .
        I said IF Hoyer could do that. Too bad Hoyer could NOT do that, and benched himself.
        .
        If you remember, I also rooted for Gabbert to succeed, because he was named the starter, and I want every Niner QB starter to win games.

  25. Couple of points on season and first half of this 3rd pre-season game. We need to be above average to good, on both defense and offensive lines. Cliché yes but we have decent skilled positions that can hold it down. If JG continues to improve and injuries don’t hamper us, we should be in for an 8-9 win season. Division will be interesting, as all teams will appear to be competitive.

    1. D-Line: I’m not too worried about run defense, more so pass rush… been years since we had an Aldon Smith and Justin Smith combo. I know 3-4 at the time but we need someone to stress the opponents OL so these interior guys can free up for 1 on 1. I have my doubts about Solomon Thomas… I’d love to eat crow at end of season.

    2. O-Line: Just improve from last year and don’t get JG killed. I think we will have to start the season using the pass to open up the run. Then things should settle to run more. KS will earn his pay this year. No excuses.

    Bonus Point – IMO, if Goodwin stays healthy he can become a #1 WR. Since last year he has been getting open regularly. He also showed a lot of heart in the middle of the defense. I’m not saying Antonio Brown of Hopkins, but the dude is shifty and fast. With an accurate QB and hitting the deep ball every so often the sky is the limit.

    Go Niners!!!

  26. I think that the challenges to the run game and pass defense were present prior to the injuries.

    The team had very little pass rush but surprisingly did little to address this situation in the off-season, paying lip service to the current members instead.

    The addition of McKinnon was a decent move but making him the featured back (along with the contract) may be the biggest misstep of this young regime.

    The team seems very intent on relying on Garoppolo as a passer (the move to pick a WR in the 2nd round.

    We will have to stay tuned to see how it plays out. I will stand by my earlier prediction of between 6-9 wins depending on breaks for the team. I see a 7 win season as the likelihood based on talent and capacity.

    And I know some people will retort that the regime can evaluate talent better than I. Yes, but remember they picked Beathard and Williams too.

  27. Sorry, but I’ve seen far too many teams light up the preseason and go 4-0 only to crap the bed in the regular season to put any weight on it. Would you love your team to look like monsters and destroy everyone on every play… Of course! Have you seen teams look like crap and struggle during the preseason and still be great in the regular season… Yes we have.

  28. You are pathetic, Grant. Negative Nellie is too good of a moniker for you. In order to be controversial, you have to be an imposing figure, not a little wimp. It’s hard to believe they pay you for this childish crap.

  29. Will be interesting to see how long the (projected) starters play. Still expecting vanilla schemes.

    1. Shanny has stated any play he uses in preseason cannot and will not be used in the regular season.

  30. Pre Season Checklist:

  31. BT, I have been trying very hard to ignore you, and I must admit you have generally refrained from engaging me.
    .
    Glad I am dominating your thoughts so much. Your obsession is precious, but of course, weak minded individuals are easily swayed.
    .
    Others have learned their lesson, but like a moth to a flame…… I really expected better of you, but I guess I just get under your skin so much, it becomes a Pavlovian response.
    .
    Most Niner fans I know have more restraint. They do not get into a tizzy over the written word. They do not fly off the handle and let people see them sweat. KS whined about the players seeing anything negative, but if a blog post can affect them negatively, imagine what pressures will come to bear on the field of play, during a game. They need to channel Joe Cool.
    .
    I have affected you so much, you are now listing my thoughts, with snark. It just makes your list even more effective. I guess the imprintation process is complete. Please realize that your best course of action is to just ignore my comments, but trolling must be new to you.
    .
    Since you want to engage with me again, please make a comment about the team. I could use a laugh.

    1. Sebbie and delusion of grandure….

      “A delusion of grandeur is the fixed, false belief that one possesses superior qualities such as genius, fame, omnipotence, or wealth. It is most often a symptom of schizophrenia, but can also be a symptom found in psychotic or bipolar disorders, as well as dementia (such as Alzheimer’s).

      People with a delusion of grandeur often have the conviction of having some great but unrecognized talent or insight [all knowing of football]. They may also believe they have made some important discovery that others don’t understand or appreciate [mastery of the obvious].

      Less commonly, the individual may have the delusion of having a special relationship with a prominent person [such as being a trusted adviser to Grant and the 9er GM]. Or the person may believe that actually are a very prominent and important person, in which case the actual person may be regarded as an imposter.

      Grandiose delusions may have religious content, such as the person believes he or she has received a special message from God or another deity [Sun Tzu].”

      Kinda fits, no?

    2. PS Sebbie… Your return to this blog after a few months away is the poster child for ‘moth to a flame’ behavior. Just couldn’t stay away could you? Like a fly to cowpie.

      1. I do love the Niners, and yearn for a return to the Glory Years.
        .
        I do like engaging with like minded fans in a civil and pleasant manner.
        .
        I even put up with the likes of you, because I find you mildly amusing.
        .
        I have decided that I will not let bullies and stalkers drive me away. Glad everything is archived.

  32. Most Niner fans I know have more restraint. They do not get into a tizzy over the written word. They do not fly off the handle and let people see them sweat. KS whined about the players seeing anything negative, but if a blog post can affect them negatively, imagine what pressures will come to bear on the field of play, during a game. They need to channel Joe Cool.

    WTF does this word salad even mean? I knew spending 5 seconds with a Seb post is 5 seconds I’ll never have back.

    1. The Sebbie Zone…

      It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call…the Sebbie Zone.

      Oh, and the 5 seconds you do not ever get back.

  33. Under-react to preseason games, stats, individual performances… But not injuries. Even if players recover, they enter the season behind on conditioning their bodies for hits, making them more likely to be injured again.

    If the bad injury luck of 2014-2017 continues I’m thinking 8 wins. The 49ers will improve over last season injuries or not (as long as Garoppolo is healthy). I’m an optimist long term. I like the starting units. But it takes more than two years to build the depth needed for deep playoff runs.

    Great injury luck – 9 to 12 wins
    Average injury luck – 8 to 10 wins
    2014-17 injury rates – 7 to 8 wins

  34. Now, seven. Max.

    A single more win than last season Grant? Last season where the starting QBs were Hoyer and Beathard for 2/3s of it? With our starting lockdown DB Rashard Robinson? The first season of absorbing Shanny’s system? A single more than that mess?

    We’ll see at the end.

      1. 10. The defense will be far better than it has shown thus far. Jones, Day and Taylor will surprise and the secondary will benefit from having to play all the rookies in preseason. The safeties (Colbert and Tartt) are the best we have had back there for a very long time.

  35. I’m sticking to my original prediction of 10. Injuries to key players may adjust down.

  36. Nice article Grant, and an upgrade at the same time: 49ers should sign Chris Baker as part of their rotation thus avoiding the pitfalls in your article:

    The Cincinnati Bengals have released veteran defensive tackle Chris Baker, the team announced Friday, via AAron Dexter, USA Today.
