Pros and Cons after the 49ers game.

I don't believe Haener or Rattler are ready to be a #2 at this point. They may in time but I wouldn't want to throw them to the wolves in the regular season and expect good results.

I liked the holes the offensive line opened up. It's quite refreshing to see with respect to what we've seen in the last few seasons.

Penning looked more than adequate in the running game, but he's still not bending enough at the waist so he's getting outleveraged on bull rushes. He's going to be a problem. It will be very evident when Carr has to throw to the right side of the field and can't step into throws because of the pressure. Maybe there are ways to overcome this with motion chipping on the edge and tight ends. However, I can't recall during preseason when defenses have run stunts on the line. I'm not sure how Penning will react to that.

It's obvious we need an additional receiver who can get open or make contested catches. The only consistent one is Olave. Ideally a healthy Mike Thomas, but that will never happen. I believe Renfrow is still available, but he's 2 season removed from being the kind of receiver we need.

Taysom was a man today. Gotta keep him healthy. His blocking was devasting and his nose for the hole is exactly what this team needs.

Carr was slightly behind receivers today, but overall, he'll get the job done if our blocking holds up.

Dline was stout...save for a few plays when they lost contain, they got after the QB and plugged up the middle of the field.

Gay, Orji are nice compliments for Davis and Werner. (sorry, I couldn't resist)

Secondary was stout. We'll have some tough cuts there.

I think Hayball might have a slight edge over Hedley but neither are inspiring.
