In the 49ers exhibition game, it was more 'Good Rex' and a little 'Bad Rex'. The mistakes he made were 'Rexa-vu' of other games; throwing into tight coverage, across his body, off his back foot, and pulling his hands out and apart too quick without the ball. What can you do?

If the defense dominates like it did and Rev's mistakes are minimal, then you can live with it. And, to his credit, Rex didn't go into the tank when he made mistakes. Plus, the offense benefitted from good to excellent field position in the first half; something the 2nd and 3rd string failed to have in the second half and it was a problem.

The biggest adjustment the Bears will need to make in the future is when defenses put down-lineman over both guards and the center. The 49ers did this on several occasions in the 2nd quarter and the line and Ron Turner had a hard time adjusting to the defensive front.

But, Ron Turner made the adjustment in the 'red-zone' and Adrian Peterson outran the linebacker to the outside, with a great block by WR Mike Hass, for a TD. Hass looks to have won the last WR spot with his blocking, running, and receiving ability to go along with being active on special teams; including one fumble recovery.

The Bears have good depth except at FB, G, and C. If Jason McKie, Roberto Garza, Ruben Brown, or Olin Kreutz go down (especially a combination of them) for an extended period of time, the Bears are in trouble.
