The 49ers have placed 25-year old RB Thomas Clayton on the Injured Reserve List due to a torn ACL. Clayton was no better than the 4th string running back behind Frank Gore, Glen Coffee and Michael Robinson so the Niners shouldn’t miss him too much.
The 49ers just played barely well enough to win this game last Friday Night. Shaun Hill made a brief appearance completing both of his two pass attemtps for 41 yards. Alex Smith followed Hill in the game and he was efficient completing 5 of 7 passes for 33 yards with a TD pass. Damon Huard finished up the game and he was outstanding completing 7 of 9 passes for 98 yards with 1 TD pass. Rookie RBs Glen Coffee (14 car, 67 yards, 4.8 ypc) and Kory Sheets (10 car, 51 yards, 5.1 ypc) led the way in the running game for the Niners in this game. Fullback Brit Miller was the real star though as he caught 2 passes for 43 yards (21.5 avg) and they both went for TDs!
The Broncos played well in the first half of this game picking off Broncos’ QB Kyle Orton three times. But, the Broncos rolled up 341 total yards of offense in this game. Linebacker Scott McKillop led the way for the Niners in this game with 9 tackles. This was a good start for the Niners who will try to build momentum before the regular season begins.
