23 Aug Breaking Down Each Snap From Jimmy Garoppolo & Trey Lance vs the Los Angeles Chargers
Jimmy Garoppolo Drive 1:
- Complete pass to FB Kyle Juszczyk down the middle for 9 yards.
- Play action, incomplete pass by Garoppolo, missed the receiver completely.
- Another incomplete pass by Garoppolo, hits WR Brandon Aiyuk’s hand, but a flag for holding gets the 49ers a 1st down.
- Garoppolo slings it for 5 yards to TE Charlie Woerner, gets a new set of downs.
- Play action, Garoppolo makes a man miss and scrambles for 11 yards.
- Garoppolo checks down to Hasty for around 1 yard.
- Lots of pressure, Chargers defender makes Jimmy throw the ball away quickly to avoid a sack.
- Jimmy throws too high of a ball to Aiyuk who is unable to make the catch, and ends up deflecting it right into the defender’s hands for an interception. This play lead to quite the debate on Twitter as to who was at fault — Jimmy for the high pass, or Aiyuk for letting it hit him on his hands and not bringing it down. This would conclude Jimmy Garoppolo’s night.

Summary:
- Trey Lance started slow but eventually got into a rhythm and threw for 8 completions out of 14 attempts, which went for 102 yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception.
- The receiving core simply had too many drops, including two that ended in interceptions.
- Travis Benjamin, Trent Sherfield and Mohamed Sanu are headed towards the right direction to be in the roster. All three receivers stood out against the Chargers.
- The running backs played well, with Wayne Gallman averaging 4.8 carries and getting 72 yards.
- Hasty also had a good day with 58 yards and a 3.1 average per carry. He looked very quick and showed the vision 49ers fans love to see.
- The defense started weak but ended playing well including a pick-six that got taken back. Arden Key continues to impress.
- The defense combined for 5 sacks, which is great to see, one of which resulted in a safety by Jordan Willis.
- Rookie CB Ambry Thomas struggled and gave up big yardage catches. He continues to be too physical in coverage, which will almost always draw a flag.
- Fellow rookie CB Deommodore Lenoir is still proving to be a good draft pick, and was decent in coverage. He makes plays.
- Ha Ha Clinton-Dix led the team in tackles with a total of 4.
- Newly-signed LB Mychal Kendricks (tpe) & DT Maurice Hurst (ankle) both left the game with injuries after the first defensive series. Kyle Shanahan said in the postgame press conference he was a little worried about their status since they both left very early on and neither were able to return to the game.
