GDT: 49ers vs Raiders, Pre-Season Style

[Ray_Dogg]

Kilgore is a beast. miller has done amazingly well after just converting to FB. Kyle Williams should make the team and get PT.

Yeah, i was surprised to see Miller make that catch. He looked like a TE on that play.

god, listening to the Raiders' commentator team is torture. I had to switch back after 3 minutes.

Well, I guess if you consider Jane a power-back...

He runs like most powerbacks in the NFL. The life is a power runningback is a tough life, the holes close faster for them than they do for the smaller backs simply because they aren't moving as fast. Which leads to them trying to find a spot to rush through. There are holes that Hunter can hit that Dixon can't but there is tough yardage that Hunter couldn't get. It's a different kind of runner, I've played the position my whole life so it's easy for me to recognize these things.

People have said that Brandon Jacobs dances too much and this and that, if he's not a powerback then no one is. We played against him in college and he is one of the most powerful backs that I've ever seen.

Kilgore has been fantastic for us... he may be our best late rd OL selection we've had for a long long time....

Dobbs... plz harbs plz let him make the cut!

9 viewage...in. Don't get much love in SD for that. Thanks for the tip SF! .full newbie PC for life that just switched to apple on the iPad. This thing almost turned into the most expensive frisbee in the world the first day I got it.

Nice to see I'm not the only Niner fan in this sea of navy blue & gold we call San Diego.

 

[Dodub]

Looks like Massoli is getting much needed reps lol

 

[Rvnight18]

way to show class i guess. I hope if we are playing Seattle and we are lucky to have a big lead, we run the score up in this situation.

So Harbaugh does not ascribe to the same philosophy as his brother...

 

[SFAnthem]

the niners looked...organized

In order to be a power-back you need to excel in short-yardage situations. Dixon hasn't excelled, he has disappointed, astronomically. He's Kevan Barlow part deux.

Kilgore with several nice blocks tonight...against back-ups but still. Nice feet and leverage.

got to start somewhere right?

Tell that to Pete Caroll.

 

[JMedlock5186]

I think The 49ers have alot of young talent, Cut day is gonna Hurt

 

[mem49er]

got to start somewhere right?

Aye..

 

[clyde_carbon]

With Iupati at LG and Rachal at RG, I don't know how likely it is for Kilgore to get some real game time anytime soon. What are his prospects as a Center?

 

[mem49er]

Tell that to Pete Caroll.

ha, fuck that cheatin' bitch! We better own 'em!

 

[trancemeister]

Preseason or not, I'm glad to see us get a win!

This one's for the fellow VOLS fans -->

Soon depends on your point of view, but it wasn't that long ago that Chilo looked like he might lose his starting spot. I'll be happy with Kilgore backin' up the G's for now.

Tom Rathman thinks otherwise. I think I trust him more than you. You remember when they publicly called Dixon out last year, and essentially had the same criticisms as us?

It has nothing to do with him not being able to get to holes, he completely misses them. He doesn't see them. he dances in the open field and allows people to catch him from behind because of it. He hesitates, it's obvious. those aren't slow runs from a big man, they are studder steps caused by uncertainty.

When Davis HAS played to his strengths it shows, he has nice runs...but he isn;t always playing to his strengths.
