Good to see the 49ers end on a positive note.
Kaepernick looking better than ever and AJ Jenkins having a solid performance are encouraging.

I'm glad on 2 fronts...
1) I'm glad that the Niners ended on a high note. Our backups played VERY well against basically the Chargers starters. That just goes to show you that our front office knows how to evaluate talent
2) I'm happy the preseason is over and we didn't suffer any major injuries. I can't wait until next Sunday afternoon...

Yeah all in all this was a good pre-season.
We got out injury free for the most part, I don't think we`ll be missing any projected starters for week 1 and we're gonna need all of them.

He can scramble his ass off though.
Yeah, I like the progress this pre-season. Much better than last year.
Hopefully he is coming along and we don't have to worry if Alex goes down. I`m not as nervous as I once was.

I gave AJ Jenkin a C+, I might have to upgrade to B-, dudes catch radius and route running are intriguing.
I believe in HarBaalke.
They were in love with the guy @ 30 for some reason. So far they have shown to be pretty good talent evaluators. Hope they hit a Mike Wallace type of HR with the kid.

Bruce Miller
Culli
Hunter
All of these guys from last years draft i`m a big fan of. Jury is out on Kaep, but looking up.

Ok now that preseasons over, I see where our defense stands, I'll start with the D-Line:
Isaac Sopoaga: Dude is in his prime now, but I expect him to decline in the next year or two. Extremely strong, finally got his technique down, is a good a nosetackle as any even though he has only been a true nose for a couple of seasons. I thank Jim Tomsula for his guidance.
Grade: A-
Justin Smith: Elite DE, he will be good for another two years at least. Non stop motor. Always a factor arguably our 2nd best defensive player. We are privileged to have him on our team.
Grade: A+
Ian Williams: Solid depth backup, he doesn't have great push at the point of attack but he keeps blowups to a minimum.
Grade: C+
Ray Macdonald: Very solid player that can be a tackle or an end, though I like him as a starting end. Very underrated. So-so speed but he has great strength and a great motor, he's a hard worker and a big part of our great front 7. Considering he was a mid-round draft pick.
Grade: B
Will Tukuafu: I'm not too high on this guy, but the coaches see something in him, so I'll take their word on it. I'd rather sacrifice him for a vet, to be honest though, he has virtually no upside and the most he can be is a 3rd string D-tackle
Grade: D+
Ricky-Jean Francois: Dude lost a lot of weight this offseason which means he must really have a future at D-end, I don't think he talented but he's a hard worker and considering we drafted him at the ass end of the 2009 draft and he's only 25, we can develop him at our pace.
Grade: C
Ikaika Alama-Francis : Maybe he could be good depth player, but I'd rather we sign a better free agent.
Grade: D-
Tony Jerod-Eddie - Maybe a practice squader has good size though
Grade: F
Mather Masifilo: Saw him in college, fairly athletic, I think he'll be in the PS.
Grade D-

Empire strikes back
jenkins was actually looking pretty good last night. then of course the whole team was pretty much besides tolzien.
man like jlova said if only we could combine alex, kaep, tolzien and jj into one QB...that would be

I'll be happy if he's a better Mario Manningham.
