San Francisco 49ers Preseason
By: JULIE SMITH

In less than a couple weeks the San Francisco 49ers will be playing their first game of the season at Arizona but their defense is still unstable regarding aspects as scheme and personnel.

49ers coach Mike Nolan said during a conference call last Sunday that he is still distressed by the lack of a pass rush and shoddy tackling that have been palpable in consecutive exhibition losses. This includes the preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys were they defeated the San Francisco 49ers 17-7 at the Texas Stadium on Saturday night.

San Francisco’s coach said that the tackling problems were especially evident in the linebacking corps and he would do whatever was necessary to solidify the unit.

The “Niners” opened with a 4-3 scheme against Dallas having football rookie Melvin Oliver lining up at defensive end replacing Brandon Moore the injured left outside linebacker, who missed the game because of a knee strain. However Moore will be moved back inside and resume competing for playing time with linebackers Jeff Ulbrich and Derek Smith.

According to Nolan, it isn’t clear either if Tony Parrish will recover his starting job as strong safety after coming back from a leg fracture that left him out of the last seven games played in 2005.

Seven players were waived by the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday with the intention of trimming their roster to 75 players. This list includes: rookie tight end Onye Ibekwe, tackle Jerry DeLoach, linebacker Renauld Williams, cornerback Gabe Franklin, kickers Andrew Jacas and Luis Berlanga and wide receiver C.J. Brewer.

The 49ers must reduce the roster to the season-opening limit of 53 by Saturday.
