preseason game-3 folks... supposed to be the dress rehearsal game!!! curtain raised on first s.... it is preseason gaming. first stringers, richard sherman, the 49er debut. pivot to the offense, and the quarterback is second and six. look at this perfect toss. 47 yard touchdown saving grab like anymore.

fourth and two, they are hauling in. kyle shanahan brought in the veteran running back. 71 yard. 84 for the game. he played for shanahan in washington. second quarter, he was out last season with a shoulder injury. luck put the colts ahead 7 to 3. there was trouble in the end zone today. the second pass was intercepted. darius ran him all the way. what is that? fourth quarter. first play. he had a field goal, 17 to 9.

four minutes left, this drive went a lot better. two point conversion, good. 2017, 23 to 17 he was the star of the game for the 49ers. he probably would have gone over 100 the 29-year-old was signed on the 13th. he played for the redskins. dennis caught up with him after the game. does he have anything else in the tank? >> i got opportunity. i just made the most of my opportunity. i was in a free agency and i was not rushed to jump on a

team. i know i have a lot left to give. i got through the night and i made the most of it. >> i go out and do my best next week. >> it looked like he got some good looks. it looked like he always got a little more than what he blocked for. >> he knows the system. he knows how to attack it and how to run. he came in and it looks like he has quite a lot left to give the nfl. spirit -- >> he completed nine of 19 passes for 135 yards. >> there are a lot of little details that we need to get fixed up before we get back up

there. there are a lot of good things. move the ball well. the little things we need to fix up. >> i am happy with the production but we need to capitalize and it stalled. >> the quarterback suited up. it was also the first game match since last november. tonight, there was a pass in the second quarter. >> when i get out on the field, it is playing fast. the movements felt good. recognizing, understanding. the speed was still slow. >> joining us now is a former

49er. they gave has only been over for a few hours, so it is still fresh in my mind. can you put your coaches hat on and tell me what you liked and what you didn't like? >> what i did like was the play by alfred morris. he stabs the running game downhill. he runs hard, he is a big back. he is different than what we have. he is not as shifty as those guys, but he is a one cut, downhill guy. you have to love that. you have backs for different defenses and how they play you. when you have that one cut guy, he is always more than likely falling forward. >> what about that gut punch they have over the self- inflicted wounds tonight? settling for threes and set of sevens.

>> the defense does not have to play the back of the end zone. that is something that most don't know. it makes this throws harder and tighter so you have to get more separation so the quarterback can anticipate those windows. there are some things to clean up. >> the star of the game tonight, alfred morris. does he make the team? >> without a question. >> thanks so much for putting the hat on. we are not done yet. here comes the second segment. in this one, the bay area nine. the giants catcher.

a final score of 62. what does that mean? they beat the astros by one game. houston is playing right now in lead against the angels. they are facing the franchise catcher and will have surgery on monday. he is out 6 to 8 months, i will spare you the math. meanwhile, the world series mpv is on today for the at&t game with the rangers. brandon crawford swung away. for the second day in a row, the giants lead four to nothing after one. was that enough offense? well, he threw shut out innings. same score. he took his former team. that was his second home run for the year.

there was a two run game with bases loaded. he got carlos perez to fly out. the giants won it, a final of 1 to 3. a little league world series for the u.s. world title. the pitcher struck out 15 of 18 batters he retired. he won three to nothing. look at this dog. put me down. not happening. during his cbs interview. he was bogey free. he is not snoring -- scoring enough. it was a nice, short, game. he was under 63 today. a 16 under total, third round.
