#3 As of Friday other NFL teams four teams in their backfield had nine players and at tight end. As one basketball team used to use in their motto “Strength in numbers” looks like the 49ers are going with a large number in their offense back field to start this 16 game campaign.
#4 Joe talk about some of the expectations for quarterback Trey Lance heading into opening day next Sunday in Chicago he didn’t look like he got much protection in that last pre season game in Houston but that can’t easily be said because that wasn’t the starting offensive line.
