San Francisco initial units did not demeanour impressive, as well as rookies Anthony Davis as well as Taylor Mays patently need a residue of a preseason to improve. While a initial group defensive section had a typically clever mount in a red section early on, Peyton Manning had 0 struggles upon a afternoon. 

Once Peyton Manning left a game, a San Francisco 49ers saw their happening shift scoring twenty true points to lead a Colts 20-10 during a finish of a initial half.

Enter second year quarterback Curtis Painter, as well as a 49ers scoring frenzy began. During Painter’s initial descent series, a 49ers invulnerability looked strong, forcing a three-and-out. Ted Ginn accomplished up for a bad opening kick-off by returing a punt 11-yards to proceed San Francisco’s expostulate in decent margin position. Three plays later, Alex Smith’s pass was sloping as well as picked off by Colts DB Jerraud Powers returning it 53 yards to a San Francisco 32 behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind back behind back yard line.

Another Andrus FG accomplished a 49ers impetus of twenty true unanswered points, with San Francisco forward 20-10 after a single half of football. After a jump, a rest of a recap, as well as a little critical performances…

To beging a second half, both Painter as well as Carr led their offenses to discerning 3 as well as outs as both offenses didn’t finish a pass. After both teams exchanged punts, Indianapolis began what appeared to be a earnest expostulate as a Colts proposed clicking for a couple of plays underneath Painter’s vigilance calling. The Colts expostulate haulted usually as fast as it began, as well as a 49ers pot hold clever once again (either which or Painter is usually which bad). San Francisco began a subsequent expostulate upon a own18 behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind back behind back yard line, marching 82 yards in 10 plays with David Carr’s TD pass to Tony Curtis putting a 49ers up 27-10.

Dixon’s thirteen yards rushing helped divert a time as well as an 8 behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind back behind back yard scurry upon 3 as well as 7 hermetic a deal. 49ers 37 Colts 17.

Notable Niner Performances:

Anthony Dixon – While a opening from Dixon might not be a upon trial pointer of things to come in 2010, it positively helps palliate a weight of Glenn Coffee’s retirement. Dixon looked positively winded upon his initial series, yet bounced behind easily as well as accomplished out a diversion strong. His totals: 100 rushing yards upon twenty-one attempts as well as 1 TD, 3 receptions for twenty-two yards. Impressive.

Anthony Davis – The rookie RT looked lost at times during his action, as well as Jamie Dukes pennyless it down easily at the half: Davis needs to magnify improved as well as make use of his hands to pull off defenders. Davis was removing flog off a corner as well as obviously needs to work upon his pass insurance skills. Considering a rest of a initial team’s struggles, Davis’ opening could have been a lot worse.

Kyle Williams – Speed, quickness, lapse game. This child has it, as well as he displayed a great detonate upon his initial flog return, as well as cunning speed during his 36 behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind back behind back yard punt return. It’s usually been a single game, yet you consider it’s viewable there’s a register mark for Williams upon a 49ers.

David Carr – Hey man, this guy’s steel sheet deserves referring to for a third time, as well as Carr’s opening upon a margin was efficient. The backup led a group to 5 scoring drives, together with a touchdown pass upon 9 of eleven attempts for 98 yards. Alex Smith should improve, yet during slightest David Carr is display signs of being a peculiarity reserve.

Taylor Mays – Mays was removing abused in pass coverage early upon interjection to Peyton Manning. It appears which rookie from USC has a ways to go still from enormous a starting lineup, yet his speed really will support him in which task. He accomplished a couple of great plays, yet had during slightest dual blown coverages.

Reggie Smith – Is it me, or did Reggie Smith gleam in final season’s preseason too? Smith had great coverage early in a game, forcing a Colts to a margin idea as well as additionally scored a 49ers initial TD of a preseason. Things have been seeking earnest from Smith, let’s goal he can sojourn full of health as well as minister during a deteriorate when he’s called upon.

Diyral Briggs – you consider you can all confess which Briggs chances of creation a register increasing even some-more with his opening today. He longed for a single tackle, yet accomplished up for it upon a really subsequent fool around as well as even yet his interception was negated by his fumble, his participation was still noteworthy. He usually needs to tumble upon a belligerent after an INT subsequent time.
