Preseason performers

[49ersfan_87]

Who's performing well this preseason for your team?

For the 49ers I'll say rookie RB Glen Coffee. He's been pretty impressive in all phases of the game. He's impressed coaches even with his blitz pickups, something rookie RB's tend to struggle with. And of course, he demolished the Raiders run defense for over 120 yards in 1 half of football, on 16 carries. Granted it's the Raiders, but impressive for a rookie nonetheless.

[Don Vito]

I really like Coffee. Nothing too impressive physically but he is old school, runs very hard. For the Pats rookie WR Julian Edelman has looked very good. He is very athletic and was a QB at Kent State, he took a punt back for a TD against the Eagles and has caught everything thrown his way. He could have a future in the slot and as a return man.

Rookies:

RB Tyrell Sutton
DE Jarius Wynn
LB Brad Jones
DE B.J. Raji - in limited action

Non-rookies:
TE Jermichael Finley
DEs Johnny Jolly, Cullen Jenkins, Michael Montgomery
LB Desmond Bishop - stud standout in our 2 preseason games

[BlindSite]

Goodson has really been a revelation as has Munnerlyn.

I wish Irvin our 3rd rounder DT would step up but he's really been a no show from my mind.

No one else is really leaping out unfortunately, brown is showing promise, but not as much as I'd hoped to see.

[M.O.T.H.]

QB Tony Romo
RB Felix Jones
RB Keon Lattimore
WR Sam Hurd
WR Patrick Crayton
TE Martellus Bennett
ILB Bobby Carpenter
NT Jay Ratliff
Entire starting offensive line

[Splat]

I would say ILB Corey Mays for the Chiefs we picked him up only to play SP teams but has worked his way in to the starting line up by having a heck of a camp and flashing in games.

I liked Mays a lot when the Pats had him, he was a ST stud.

Lex Hilliard for Miami.

Brian Hartline has looked good with his routes, and did draw two defensive penalties against Tampa, but otherwise, not much.

Sean Smith and Vontae Davis don't look bad either.

B.J. Raji was very strong when he saw the field. I'm not sure if he can maintain that motor for the whole game but I certainly love the energy and dominance he's bringing. He required a double team against the Bills and still got a two yard push. Lined up against the guard seems unfair. Ask Eric Wood, another rookie, but nonetheless, Raji could bull rush him no problem. Something we expected out of him when taking him 9 but it's a pleasure to see it in action.

I'll keep it short and only add one player from our offense that has stepped up. Jermichael Finley. He had a strong camp and has been making plays this preseason. Really athletic for his position (TE). He's pushing Donald Lee every day for playing time and seems like he can make something happen everytime he has the ball in his hand. The only thing I haven't like out of him has been the way he carries the ball sometimes. He holds it like a defensive back from time to time.

[TACKLE]

Oher has been a beast. His pass pro is improving every game and he's just getting after people in the run game. I love his tenacity.

[RufusMcDaniel]

Javon Ringer is making everyone forget (for those who haven't) about Chris Henry.

[wonderbredd24]

WR Mohammed Massaquoi - He seems like he could be very special in this league... most figured Robiskie would be ahead of Massaquoi, but that has not been the case. Massaquoi has been making spectacular catches in camp, running solid routes, and using his size (6'2" 207lbs) to his advantage).

CB Coye Francies - He was a guy who fell in the draft and is playing with a chip on his shoulder. Had an INT in preseason and showed he could hit too when he put a lick on Tyrell Sutton (who went to my highschool). In a good group of corners, Francies is making it hard to ignore his ability. He has a big frame and has used it to blanket receivers in coverage.

RB James Davis - He was a force at the beginning of camp, but fell off towards the end... until the 81 yard run against the Lions. Yes, it was 2nd/3rd teamers, but he showed a 2nd gear and broke one guy's ankles badly.

FB Lawrence Vickers - He is making his case that he's the best fullback in football.

DE/OLB Kamerion Wimbley - The guy has been all over the field in both preseason games making plays... I hope this is a sign of things to come.

DE/OLB Alex Hall - He has gotten a lot better since last year as the lanky kid out of St. Augustine. Hall has displayed good instincts against the run, as a pass rusher, and has the athleticism to cover running backs in the passing game.

DE/OLB Marcus Benard - Undrafted free agent from Jackson State just keeps making plays... he put a hit on a Green Bay QB forcing an INT as well as having a sack. I will not be surprised if he makes the team.

ILB/OLB/DE David Veikune - Despite the overwhelming difficuly of learning 2 new positions, Veikune is having success. Primarily focused on ILB, Veikune had an INT against the Packers, but he is making most of his noise in camp.

CB Eric Wright - He's a ball hawk and I really believe Eric Wright is ready to break out and be a Pro Bowl caliber player this year... he has been a terror in coverage, including picking off Matt Stafford.

S Abram Elam - He might have the most INTs of anyone in camp and some media outlets are predicting a huge season for Elam. I believe Peter King predicted he'd make the Pro Bowl, which is huge considering the field

WR/KR/PR Josh Cribbs - I was concerned that the wedge rule change would hurt Cribbs, but evidently not as he took a 95 yard kick off return agains the Lions which was called back and then had a punt return TD that was not called back. Most surprising of all for Cribbs is he actually looks like a WR now... he has a ways to go, but he can be a contributor this year as a WR and he is extremely dangerous after the catch

he couldnt run between the tackles to save his life, every time, he cuts outside asap.

[RaiderNation]

JaMarcus Russell has looked alot better so far for us. I think hes 14/20 with a TD. If he is able to have a good passing % and not turn it over to often, we should be fine.

Mario Henderson is also playing good a LT, Chaz Schilens looked great against Dallas, and the D looks alright when Nnamdi is in the game. Once hes out everything falls apart

This. Dude has been amazing in games and apparently has had some good practices. Our defense overall (first team) has been playing better. Tyson Jackson is alright but our LBs are playing really well.
