49ers are looking beatable

Fun story. Rod Marinelli's 0-16 Lions went 4-0 in preseason and allowed a total of 26 points in 4 games.

They went on to not only lose every game, but in only 3 of 16 games did they hold the opposition to less than 26 points (and one was 25 - most were in the 30's and 40's).

Pre-season scoring results don't mean anything.

Does the same not hold true for the Cowboys?

Completely. The only thing I take from the preseason so far is that we can't in any way, shape, or form so far stop the run. And that we have no one particularly good at rushing the passer who doesn't have a broken foot or bad knee.

But to start making assumptions on what the 49ers are, or what they will be, based on scoring in preseason is a fools game.

The same as saying we can't stop the run. One doesn't hold true if all doesn't. Can't have it both ways

The run defense might well look a lot different with Melton playing. Or with McClain and Melton playing. And both offenses and defenses will look different when they start game planning. You can tell we've got some individual players who don't hold up well agains the run, though, in the interior DL.

And I'm saying from watching individual performances San Fran has maybe more problems then we have. To each man his own

It may at some point but there is no way Melton can miss a year of football, miss almost all of training camp, and then come out and be ready to perform at a high level week 1.

Same goes for all of these guys like Claiborne, Spencer, and others.
 
Niners got a future star in Borland. Who needs those 3rd round picks right?
 
Melton got injured the last week in Oxnard. He practiced the majority of camp but was held out of games.

Has anyone see McClain take a snap in the preseason yet? I'm just wondering why their is a lot of stock being put on guy that hasn't played in this scheme yet?

That is a different team than the one that will be in AT&T Stadium playing the Cowboys. 4th preseason game played with nothing but scrubs is pretty worthless.

Their 2s played. Many of their contributors played. Borland will probably start and he was very good.
