The person is not a concern for me because I love it. While no one can ever recall the preseason details, they will be able to remember them next season. All is fine.
It is consistent with the training camp’s rest. Lance will keep the second string offense. Shanahan stated in his opening camp statements that Garoppolo had 13 practice reps and was named the starting offensive line. Lance was able to take two runs designed specifically by Shanahan.

Lance responded, “Oh (I’m) so excited!” “I’m so excited to go out with this group of guys. All of it is brand new. This is the basic idea. You just have to be able to take everything in, from the hotel you stayed at that night to the pregame warmup. Football is football, even though it’s going to change.
Shanahan expressed the hope that Lance would not put too much pressure on himself.
Shanahan smiled and said Trey would be joining the team. He is aware that there will be more eyes watching him. Sometimes those men just want to get everybody excited and play some games. They want to get out and play. They could even hit you, so I tell them to be calm. Keep your head high and practice what you have been doing every day. You will always be a good quarterback, no matter what.
