Not that I'm not nervous about it, but run game is the last to come together and the draft system makes it even tougher. You've got guys that haven't played together next to each other on both teams and at least a couple of 2nd teamers going against 1st team DL and LBs every snap.

Our receivers are the ones that have me worried the most, zero separation on any DB except for Norfleet and a lot of guys getting their routes run for them by the DBs. Blocking on the perimeter on bubble screens and sweeps were terrible all day to boot. WR should be farther along at this point since it's largely an individual effort vs a coordinated effort like running the ball.

watching Rudock and Gentry join the QB competition. I think Gentry may have the best tools of the bunch, but with so many QBs, anything other than a redshirt would be troublesome. If Morris is still the front runner after Rudock joins the party...that would be tremendous. - Captain Obvious

You can't take away much from this game. The starters were all split up, and the defense is always ahead at this point in the season. Also the defense is fucking stacked. I don't think you can truly say the offense is terrible bc there was a draft which eliminates chemistry, continuity, and timing / execution on some level. Harbaugh knows what he is doing. Once the starters are together and Rudock is leading the charge at QB, the product will be much different than what we witnessed yesterday.

They drafted the teams, but the coaches were not blindly pulling name tags.  You can be sure Sir James had a methodology and purpose in how the teams were formed.  If nothing else, it seems highly unfavorable to the theme of open competition to have already decided, after 15 sporadic practices, to have set the ones and twos in concrete.  Chaos is in the eye of the builder--i may see random holes and rocks and piles of iron and junk randomly poking up from the ground..a contractor sees the excavation work necessary to support the entire project.  I like to believe the "ugly" digging is well under way...and Master Contractor, Sir James, has the project plans fully committed to memory!
