With the 49ers week 2 preseason game mere hours away, I wanted look at what I\u2019m most looking for in tonight\u2019s matchup.<\/p>\n
I was so impressed with Nate Sudfeld, and Brock Purdy, so I need to see both out there, see how good both can be, especially Purdy as a future #2 QB.<\/p>\n
With the injury to Trey Sermon, I really want to see more of Tyrion Davis-Price, JaMycal Hasty, & Jordan Mason, see who the standout of the 3 backs might be, and who might make the team, especially if Sermon\u2019s ankle injury lands him on short term injured reserve.<\/p>\n
More Danny Gray please, the speedster from SMU looked really good last week, so I want to see more of him, as well as Ray-Ray McCloud III, as well as vets like Malik Turner, Marcus Johnson, & Willie Snead IV, basically to see if any of these 3 vets can win a roster spot.<\/p>\n
At tight end I want to see more of Tanner Hudson, who had a nice touchdown catch, which clinched the game for the 49ers over the Packers, as well as Tyler Kroft, as well as seeing some improvement from Ross Dwelley, who needs a good showing to lock up a spot.<\/p>\n
I really want to see the interior offensive line, center Jake Brendel, left guard Aaron Banks, & right guard Spencer Burford, who all looked really good in the 49ers preseason win over the Packers, but I want to see more of them, and just see how well they play as a unit.<\/p>\n
We need to see some improvement from the tackles, Colton McKivitz, Justin Skule, & Sam Schlueter, all who didn\u2019t look good last week, we need to see improvement, especially with injuries to both Jaylon Moore, & Mike McGlinchey.<\/p>\n
On defense I want to see more of Kemoko Turay at defensive end, as well as Jordan Willis, as I think we could see the 49ers carry 11 defensive linemen on their 53-man roster.<\/p>\n
Linebacker wise, I want to see more of Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, as well as standout Marcelino McCrary-Ball, as I can envision a trade happening, as I don\u2019t think both pass waivers, but that might just be me.<\/p>\n
As for the defensive backfield, I want to see improvement from Ambry Thomas, & Deommodore Lenoir at cornerback, along with seeing Tariq Castro-Fields, & Qwuantrezz Knight play, as for safety, we need to see improvement from Tarvarius Moore, who was burned on a touchdown last week against the Packers, and of course I want to see more of Samuel Womack III, because he looks like a 5th-round gem, a steal of the 2022 draft.<\/p>\n
As for the special teams\/special teamers, I want to see more of George Odum, & Oren Burks, both on special teams, and defense, as both looked terrific last week, so hopefully we see more good play from these 2.<\/p>\n
And there you have it, what I\u2019m most looking forward to seeing in the 49ers preseason week 2 game in Minnesota.<\/p>\n
