Just switching gears for a second.  Garoppolo was 3 for 3 in the Niners' 19-16 loss to KC tonight with a team-best 102.8 rating.  Trey Lance had a 93.7 rating largely on the strength of a single 80 yard TD pass...otherwise, Lance was 4 for 13 for 48 yards.  And he was sacked 4 times.  Still, three of his 14 passes bounced of the hands of his receivers.  Rosen's rating, not surprisingly, was 55.7 (10 of 15 for 93 yards with an INT and one sack.).  Lance had no rushing yards.  Hasty, Sermon and Lance all fumbled.  I'm guessing Rosen gets cut tomorrow.  Woerner, Sherfield, Jennings all had nice catches, so did Perkins.  Matthews had a good catch.

As for the rest, I think Richie James gets cut tonight.  Didn't stretch for a pass over the mild, played timid throughout.  Hasty looked good.  Sermon was very marginal.  Niner rookie DBs looked pretty good (Hufanga, Lenoir, Thomas), Niner defense was pretty good, limiting KC Passing to a 76.5 rating.  No sacks, some QB hits.

Finally...I think for the first time, the 49ers have zero Stanford grads on their 90 man roster.

First cutdown date is Tuesday (from 90 to 85).  

My sole takeaway from the game :  SF played horribly on special teams.  

Otherwise, it was a typical first preseason game - lots of mistakes by both teams.

Just read an interesting point of view on the possible signing of Bryant.    It’s going to be very hard.  The Giants got into this situation with very long term contracts.  Bryant will want more than 3 years.  The Giants may only offer three
So we shall see

I don’t think anyone has a solid grasp on what Zaidi will do.  He plays his cards very close to the vest.  Regarding Bryant specifically, Zaidi has earned the trust of ownership.  Therefore, I see it as baseball decision rather something that is determined strictly by finances.  In other words, if Zaidi believes Bryant can make a difference long term, ownership will support him even if the numbers and term are near the top end of contracts signed by players in his age group.
