49ers Questions Rolling into the NFL Regular Season

The 49ers defensive line looks pretty good, but it is only preseason.  The team is still running into trouble with the off the field issues.  

Will the 49ers be able to rise to the top of the nfc west or are they going to completely fall apart?   The nfl regular season is fast approaching and the 49ers offense has not looked that great.  The 49ers offense has added a new receiver in Torry Smith, but the question will be if Colin Kaepernick can get the ball to him.  The other big question for the niner offense is the offensive line.  They have had big changes and they need to protect and give time to Colin K.  

On the defensive side of the ball, the niners secondary looks weak.  The deep threat problem has been there for years and only time will tell if they are going to be able to tighten that up.  The linebackers have changed dramatically over the last year.  The pro bowl big names are gone and now there is a new group coming on to the field.  Will they be able to stop the run?  Will they be able to pressure the pocket?  

The new 49ers have a lot of questions to answer going into the season.  The bright spot so far in the preseason is the rugby player turned kick returner.  Jarrod Hayne has been exciting to watch. The only question is going to be if he can keep up the high level of play that has been displayed in the preseason.  The regular season kickoff teams are going to be much more intense.
