Houston. For those of you looking for 60 minutes thats on kbcw and well wrap up this 1 in about two minutes . We hit the twominute warning and texans in control. A buck 60 rushing in the first half. 7 up in the pocket. The flag a news in the middle of the field as that pass was overthrown. The defensive holding in the middle, and i think prior to the pass, holding, defense number 38, 5yard penalty, automatic first down. When the niners go to denver on tuesday, they play the broncos on saturday, the story line of the week is can Colin Kaepernick come back and practice and play in the bronco game . You get a couple weeks in Training Camp and you are not able to play in the preseason games there, wont be quarterback competition after that. And i dont know if they know that yet, and i think, to be determined. His arm was just fixed the other day. I also think, and hopefully, this is the case for next saturday, but i want to see Arik Armstead and buckner play together. I think arik is all ready to go with the Training Camp during houston on friday and during one of the drills, he was stiff and that was a deciding factor that he was going to shut it down in the preseason game. He had an amazing camp, and he is flatout rag doll. And the thing with him that makes him so impressive, just watching him, talking about his skill set and hand quickness, what he can do with his hands and grabbing and shedding and getting away from guys and being violent with his upper body, not a lot of bys can do what Arik Armstead in major leagues can do with quick twists and hand speed. With consistency with keeping his hands down, he looks like he will throw and take good offensive linemen and looks like a basketball player and will get his hands in their chest and bend them over backwards, and part of them would be like a rookie. Could be the final play of the game. Wow. Still figuring out 2s got it, and houston got on top of it, and thats the fiement 20 seconds. Final 20 seconds. And feeling good about playing gabbert, a very good play in space. Offensive line looks vastly improved from a year ago. Mike davis looked terrific. Other than a lost fumble, and carlos hyde did nice things and dujuan harris. All the running backs played well and the first and second groups on the offensive line played well and defensively, the coverage throughout the first half but the ones and 2s were terrific. A couple of productive days. Houston wins, 2413. Well wrap it up from levi well wrap it up from levi stadium ,,,, okay, so whats our latest data say . Our customer is a 21yearold female. Well wrap it up from levi stadium ,,,, heavily into basketball. Wait. Data just changed. Now shes into disc sports. Ah, no shes not. Since when . Since now. Shes into tai chi. She found disc sports too stressful. Hold on. Let me ask you this. Whats she gonna like six months from now . Who do we have on aerial karate . Steve. Steve. Steve. And alexis. Uh, no. Just steve. Just steve. Just steve. Live business, powered by sap. So the texans win it 2413. They own the second half. The 49ers own the first half with 300 yards of offense. Our audi play of the game. Tim ryan, i like the advance to mcdonald. The line backer fell down and Blaine Gabbert saw it and delivered a beautiful ball and the rest was vance mcdonald, a nice wiggle, good moves and costs cuts to the safety and hits pay dirt. Blaine gabbert had a couple of ugly throws to start the game, and then you can convert a big third down and capitalize with the touchdown to vance donald. The resill resiliency was impressive. And the one man who could not get away from him though, was dennis odonnell. Reporter Blaine Gabbert, the 49er offense, off to a slow start but finished strong. Assess your performance tonight. There were ups and downs and communication errors we have to correct on film. But everybody stayed healthy. Reporter talk about the play it looks like the defender lost his footing but talk about that play. He did a good job with the route and the corner and the safety and linebacker. Reporter i talked with vance a couple of days ago, and the knock on him has been not being able to hold on to the football but he was poised for a break out season. Whats it like in camp so far and the sense he could have a break out camp . He was doing a tremendous job and i want to see consistent improvement day in and day out. Reporter and chip kellys offense you have to run the football. 160 in the first half alone. So wad that say about the offensive line that appears to be a. Improved unit . Just setting the bar early. Reporter Blaine Gabbert, thanks a lot. Guys . I think the first half was fun and different and a lot to talk about. The second half was a lot of preseason football. And thats the way you have to look at it. Blaine gabbert, not having Colin Kaepernick. And i think thad lewis looks like a guy who knew the chip kelly operation. And he does but unfortunately he went off limping going to the locker room. Here is my hope. The first offense was good and the First Defense was good but learn from the tape and i hope colein capper nick can get back. I think the competition will just make the position stronger. Well find out kaepernick is competing in denver. Well be with you as the 9ers take on the broncos next saturday, 2413, houston able to win. The 5th quarter coming up down in the locker room. For tim ryan, this is Bob Fitzgerald saying so long from levi, preseason, game 1 in the boxes. Book. Texans with the win, 2113. ,,,,, a wildfire burning out of com in lake county. The fire ripping through the community of lower lake. It is 100miles north of san francisco. A view from the air shows multiple homes destroyed. Hundreds more are threatened at this hour. The entire community of lower lake has been evacuated they long with the southern end overclear lake. Highway 29 is closed in that area. The hospital in clear atlantic has been evacuated. So far the fire is 5 contained 123450 administration centered a have been set up at the Senior Center in clear lake along with red bud and austin parks additional Evacuation Centers indelude twin fine casino, Kellyville High School and 7th dayed a venitis church in lake port. We have several cruise at the scene. Well have more coming up in 30 minutes. ,,,,,,, welcome everybody to levi stadium. We got this Party Started at 3 3 30 this afternoon. One preseason game in the books under chip kelly. What do you think . Well we have work to do to have a competitive Football Team out here. You saw bright spot thus the day. Running game was working early on. I dont know if we decided anything with the quarterbacks today but it is a start. We are watching football in the bah again. Exactly. You cant argue with the fact they ran off 50 plays in the first half. And they had over 2300 yards of offense. And that Blaine Gabbert did throw the touchdown pass and ran for 160yards. Lets look at the first half. Would you be more approved of that opposed to the overall game. It is not going to happen. The first group came out and sputtered. Then they got going. The run game got going. That was exciting to see. They credit lanes in the back and did stuff today that was special. We saw sort of a cameo from carlos hyde. Mike davis made the most of us opportunity. First year player last year. I think unofficially five of 70. He had a good game. Five of 72 is a monster game. He did a nice job. Looked like he had good vision. They got a good onetwo punch with carlos heading into the season. We talked pregame about Anthony Davis and how his coming back in the 49 lineup will approve the offensive line. He returns tonight at a 49ers. He is with vern glen. Reporter tell us about the offensive line pushing people back in the first that have. Did you know you ran a play every 23 seconds . Thats impressive. I think we can go faster. Our practices are faster. Reporter you can go faster . I think so. It will take us coming together and working at it. But i felt like there was some times in the game where the ref slowed us up. As a unit first and second team for me now. Reporter when you are a way friday the away from the game what did you miss the most . I was focused on working on myself and improving life outside of football. I didnt watch a lot of football until later on in the season. And once i got everything together with myself thats when i was looking forward to flying. Reporter here we are working your way back in it. Assess for me this first game now that you have it under your belt. I wish we could have one. Won. I know it is preseason but when they are keeping score id like to win. It was getting back into it. One play it will even up. Im excited we get to come out next weekend and play again. Reporter next week it will be denver. One more thing about today. The first half as efficient as we have ever seen. You had over 300 yards total offense at the half. I feel like we can do a little bet. We had a lot of selfinflicted counts. Thats why well practice. Next time were out well step it up. Reporter i was going to ask how Blaine Gabbert was in the huddle. Chip kelly doesnt believe in huddles. Right. Reporter terrific start. Well see you down the road. Thank you. Reporter Anthony Davis joining us here. Back to you. Thank you. Anthony davis got beat for a sack. It was brought up during the broadcast with tim ryan that Anthony Davis had a fantastic camp. Trent brown, starter at right tackle has had a great camp, as well. And they might move Anthony Davis in to play the guard position on the right side and keep trent outside. You see that as a realistic possibility . I think the possibility is always there. You try to get your five best linemen on the football field any way you can. If you have to put a pro bowl right tackle there, i think it is a great idea. You are trying to find your best five now and find the best positions for the five. I think what was a weak link in the Football Team could be the strength for the 49ers offensive line. Well hear from the head coach and get an injury update when we come back. , to prove how authentic my new brewhouse bacon burger is , im going undercover, at an actual brewhouse. Its awesome. Amazing what if i told you, you are eating a jacks brewhouse bacon burger from jack in the box. Not this one. Absolutely lying. And what if i told you. That im jack. Whaaaat . no way no didnt see that coming, did you . Porter ale cheese sauce, grilled onions, and bacon on a artisan potato bun. Jacks new brewhouse bacon burger, new from jack in the box. Hey, where did jack go . He was just here. Turnovers the defense with houston returning a fumble for a touchdown in the first half. Lets hear from chip kelly. Isnt 100 . It would not have been fair to judge him on that competition. We are trying to get him healthy and see him this week against denver. It is a daytoday thing. It is nothing that is a long term thing. It is a daytoday thing. He says he feels better as we go. We are not going to push him so we can have proper evaluations of him. [indiscernible] it was up and down. Wont Blaine Gabbert and the offensive. The first drive couple of balls think probably wants back. Once they settled down i thought they did a nice job executing. Concern for us is you cannot turn the ball over in this league. We turned it over twice in the first half. Once on the touchdown. Thats a 14 point swing we need to win those if we are going to win games this season. That was our biggest concern. I thought we moved the ball. At times we ran the ball well. I thought fans showed up. It was good to get production from the tight end position. Overall there are things to be excited act. There are a lot of things we have to clean up. Does Blaine Gabbert getting these extra practice reps give him a leg up on the starting jump . I dont look at it as a leg up. Well judge them on the opportunities to get in there and go. If collin does a great job im not going to say he didnt get as many snap as grain. It is two protects the football the best and gives us the opportunity to win games. Collin is healthy in practices during the week. Do you want to see him start a game so you have that basis . Well take collin dayto day. I have never been an f guy in terms of hypotheticals. I dont really know. For me to talk about him and he blows his ankle on thursday and jeff is starting well have a whole new conversation. Well take it daytoday. Thats the the only way it is fair. Was the decision made today . No. We decided yesterday. He was over here getting rehab trying to work on his shoulder seeing where we can get him. Hopefully to see if we can get him to denver. Was he pulled because of the injury . We planned on taking him out around that time. So it was both, to be honest with you. What do you think it is . I thought it was up and down. There is a couple others im sure he wants back, too. I think there is some positives to build on from it though. It is not fair for me to talk about his full medical disclosure. Blaine gabbert was high and wide opened with patton on the slanted. It is easy for me to say easy passes. Well put you in there and rush it. Then he settled down. Do you think it was nerves going on . What was happening . Thats a good question. The good thing is he did settle down. Like i said there were real positives to build on. Buchner played almost entirely the first half. Were you meaning to get him those kind of reps . What did you think of him . I thought he had a good camp and he did good things today. It is for all the rookie, their first time playing a National Football league there are things they need to clean up. We have been impressed with him. There are a lot of things he can continue to work on. How fluid is the situation within the starting five . Second question first, i think very fluid. This was our first game. We had a good day with houston on friday. We felt good about that group. Well continue to try to figure out exactly what well play. There are some guys joe will play. You know where he is with that. Try to work the rest of it in terms of how the guys fit. Some of the guys in the second group could have an opportunity to push. When you look at it with mike davis i thought we ran the ball well. Well have to look at the film and evaluate. I think we have guys to select from. It is not a situation that im nervous where we are in the offensive line. Im positive from the offensive line standpoint. Trying to find out which five it will be will be in the next couple weeks against denver and green bay. What was your overall thought . We had to make sure there are assignment questions going on where do we call . Where was he working to . Part is this process. You get to play a game. Who is communicating . How do we call it . Who is responsible . We made the call. It looks on film it is this guy but i may not be that guy. It could have been called a different guy and didnt realize he had the guy. Seems like the moral of the story of the press conference is you cannot take too much away from the preseason game. Media trying to get after them on the quarterback. Performance of Blaine Gabbert and also whats up with Colin Kaepernick. Blaine gabbert inaccurate on the first series. Turnover in the second series. Touchdown on the third series. What do you think about him tonight . I think his explanation was perfect. He was a mixed bag. He was really good in a couple situations. He was really bad to start the game. For him to go cement that job you would like to see more of him with the touchdown pass and some of that. He had an easy swing route and missed by three yards behind the running back out of the back field. Completely missed the slant throw. Relatively easy throws by most standards. I dont know if i could hit them but for an nfl quarterback an easy throw. You want to see more of the latter. Maybe it wasnt nerves but the pressure of earning the job in the preseason game. Hell have another to play. Im sure theyll get plenty of time between him and cap both. I dont think he outright won the job today. He didnt lose it either. It doesnt sound like Colin Kaepernick is seriously injured. He hasnt thrown in a long time. He is not the same physical stature he was. He is probably putting fatigue on the shoulder. I think thats all it is. 49ers play broncos in denver next week. Joshua garnet with vern glen. Reporter alongside jab reporter along joshua garnet. Were you aware you were doing what you were doing . We are playing through the whistle. We have to do it all fourth quarters. Which is the big thing coach kelly was talking to us about. You have to play every snap that hard. If we want to be successful thats what we have to do. Reporter you are a stanford guy. A smart guy. I know you can play left guard and the right guard, i was trying to explain to somebody the other day, wouldnt it be like, say you are righthanded and off to start left handed. Is it like that . A little bit. You are a professional. You have to be able to do everything like that. Where ever the coaches need me to go for the team to be successful thats where im going to play. Reporter Blaine Gabbert will be one of the big watercooler discussions tomorrow. What is your assessment of him and how he ran the offense . I have been blocking. Im not a good representation or analyst for quarterback freeways plays. Youll have to ask the coaches about that. Whoever is in the quarterback there, the offensive line will do the job. Well block the same way and make holes and keep them untouched. Reporter they are calling on the phone now in the middle of the interview and they are already calling. We have great fans. We had electric environment today. We got to finish like we did in the first half and come out and get a win. Reporter we saw the unvailing of had the lewis today. At one point he was dead to right. He turned it into a threeyard game. We have to keep the pocket integrity better for him. Reporter one more thing on mike davis. Couple of times he hit the hole, made a guy miss and he was gone. It was like a highlight reel. Thats what you want. If you stick on your blocks and get in position the guys will take care of the rest. Offensive line, like i said before, we have to finish. Tha
