The 49ers rushing attack has been consistently inconsistent so far this preseason. I did a piece on Joe Williams a few days ago, and often in his clips offensive lineman were simply getting tossed around. Joshua Garnett, a former first round pick, however hadn’t gotten a shot on the field until preseason Week 2 vs. the Texans. On Saturday, he played 35 snaps. I checked out every snap and overall it was a solid showing.
With all the preseason chatter, Garnett was being cast as another Baalke bust set to hit the scrap heap.
