Morning Tailgate: Aug. 28

Posted by Taylor Price on August 28, 2012 – 9:37 AM

All offseason we’ve heard commentary and prognostications from members of the local and national media as it pertains to the San Francisco 49ers.

Now, we know how Hall of Famers from the team’s storied past feel. In a recent appearance on ESPN’s NFL Live, Jerry Rice and Joe Montana joined host Trey Wingo to discuss to their former team’s outlook in 2012.

“I think with that defense they can (be successful) because they brought all the guys back,” Rice, an ESPN analyst, said. “It’s going to be up to the offense. They brought in some additional weapons to help Alex Smith out, so now he has to put the ball in the hands of the playmakers, this team is going to go far.”

Montana said he was really impressed by Smith’s 14-yard touchdown pass to Vernon Davis in the team’s Divisional Playoff win over the New Orleans Saints.

“That showed me confidence in his ability to throw the ball,” Montana said of Smith. “He can make those throws, now it’s about managing the game.”

The legendary 49ers quarterback stressed that Smith has to distribute the ball to the playmakers and let them create big plays.

“They should be settled in, they understand what it takes to operate,” Montana said.

NFL.com’s season preview for the San Francisco 49ers has three writers predicting an NFC West crown for the club.

NFL.com’s staff writers also predict NFL awards with one tenured staffer predicting Jim Harbaugh to win back-to-back Coach of the Year honors.

Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com shares Vic Fangio’s comments on the 49ers defensive learning experience in Denver. Maiocco: “Playing without key defenders Aldon Smith,NaVorro Bowman and Chris Culliver, the 49ers had few answers for Peyton Manning, who threw for 122 yards. The Broncos scored 17 points on their three possessions against the 49ers.”

Maiocco also interviewed reserve quarterback Scott Tolzien on his preparation for Thursday’s preseason finale against the San Diego Chargers.

Nathan Jannke of ProFootballFocus.com shares his impressions from the 49ers-Broncos game.

Mike Sando of ESPN.com looks at the average age of each NFL team and ntoes the 49ers have the 13th oldest roster after the 75-man roster cuts.

Sando also offers thoughts on San Francisco’s initial roster cuts.

49ers.com looked at young player’s outlooks on the upcoming Chargers game, both offensively and defensively.

Big day in the Brown household.

    Minnesota waived Greg Childs because of an injury. If he can be nursed back to health and be given a conditioning regiment to keep him healthy, he could be turned into our future number 1 receiver. He is 6’3″, 215 ILBS, does a 4.35 40 , 40″ vertical, has 10″ hands and is a solid route runner. He could end up being a steal for he team that is willing to wait.

    I cannot see how the offence will not explode this year! The dynamic changed drastically after Josh Morgan was lost for the season last year. Now multiple targets that can go the distance from anywhere on the field! I haven’t felt this way since the mid 1990′s, Go Niners!

    “Greg Childs, who tore the patellar tendon in each knee in a scrimmage over the weekend,”
    “Two years ago, Wright saw Childs battle back from a ruptured right patellar tendon at Arkansas that limited his production as a senior and caused him to slip in the draft. That was hard enough to watch.”
    wasn’t for bad luck, he’s be sh!t out luck, too bad!
