Chargers-49ers

  • San Diego starters expected to play into the 3rd quarter.  Niners starters, who have not done well in exhibition games, will go that long too…RBs Ryan Mathews-Donald Brown will split early workload with Danny Whitehead-Brandon Oliver next group in…Big game for backup OTs Mike Harris-Willie Smith to see who solidifies swing tackle job….Young Chargers DBs-Stevie Williams-Marcus Cromartie need to show something also….Interesting to see who starts at CB-Brandon Flowers or Jason Verrett and if Flowers shifts inside to defend as a ‘slot’ CB in 2nd-3rd down plays…Risky decision coming too, do Chargers play DE-Corey Liuget alot considering he has had foot problems….Interesting battle at LB-Thomas Keiser-Tourek Williams….Appears as if RB-Marion Grice and WR-Tavin Reese headed to cut list and developmental squad… Quote of the day from Nick Hardwick on slippery sod problems at 49ers new stadium…”Pour some asphalt down-we’ll play on that”.

Cincinnati-Arizona
