Jarryd Hayne goes all rugby on Chargers

But is there a clear-cut victor in that competition after both enjoyed strong closing arguments? He was second in the National Football League with those yardage numbers, and first with a 7.0 per-carry average in the preseason. His 175 yards on the ground were second only to fellow August hero Zach Zenner of the Lions. Hayne fielded 10 punts, the last of which produced his first-career fair catch, which came on orders from his coaches who wanted the offense back on the field immediately.

“I’m not going disrespect any other player”, Tomsula said. I just have to focus on trying to win golf tournaments, trying to play good golf.

Jarryd Hayne picked up yards against the Chargers Thursday night on runs from scrimmage, pass receptions and punt returns.

Day’s rise prompted one Australian reporter to ask him Thursday whether he or Hayne will be “Australia’s top sportsman” this year.

But it was this shoulder charge that had our jaws drop to the ground. “So it was just a situation that, all that training, all the hours on the field, (it was nice) to finally see it come together”.

The 49ers have until Saturday (Sunday AEST) to name the team, but a Rugby League Week column reported Hayne had already told family and friends he survived the final cut. Hayne led all rushers with 10 carries for 58 yards and he also had a tackle on special teams.

“5 yards down area, and he turns it into 70 (yards)”, Thompson stated of Ellington.

I did mention Hayne having a “couple” big runs against the Chargers, which means I absolutely have to include this play. As for Hayne, if he shines in the team’s last preseason game against the Chargers, there is no way he should not be on the roster for the season.

With a 2-1 record, the Chargers have had a good preseason and find themselves third in the AFC West behind unbeaten teams the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs. “That’s what we know Bruce can do”, coach Jim Tomsula said of Ellington. “That’s what we know Bruce can do”. Here are a few more quick thoughts on the 49ers finale two days before the roster must be cut to 53 – and 11 days before the 49ers open the regular season against the Minnesota Vikings.

Stated Ellington: “Coming in, I assumed I used to be younger and I need not stretch”.

Earlier in the week, Tomsula named Marcus Martin and Jordan Devey, whom the 49ers acquired in an August 18 trade, as the starters at center and right guard, respectively.

“Hayne couldn’t afford a so-so game Thursday, yet for a while, that’s what he gave”, KNBR’s Dieter Kurtenback wrote. He could also become a practice squad player for either the 49ers or any other club.

– All projected offensive starters for Week 1 did not play, nor did backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert.
