We all take responsibility for it. It’s something we’ve emphasized and will continue to emphasize.

Three hours before the Broncos kicked off against the 49ers in their second preseason game Saturday night, Trevor Siemian trotted out onto the field in his usual gray Broncos shirt and usual navy shorts to throw the ball – as usual – with teammates and assistants. Came out in the second drive, throws a pick-six, and then plays OK.
Sanchez, who started the Broncos’ preseason opener at Chicago on August 11, took over with about 11:15 remaining in the second quarter and quickly got to work, finding Cody Latimer up the middle for a 24-yard strike.
Lynch was more of a wildcard.
But what Miller’s extended absence did for the entire defense was give Shane Ray and Shaquil Barrett first-team repetitions throughout the offseason.
NN: As an outsider, what’s your take on the 49ers and what’s happened from the tail end of previous year through this offseason? “Everybody understands how important the turnover battle is in the game of football”.
It might be Lynch’s turn soon enough. “The stuff he’s doing right now is really giving him a chance to make this football team”, Kelly said.
Blaine Gabbert, trying to solidify his hold on the starting quarterback job in Colin Kaepernick’s absence, led a scoring drive and finished 6 of 9 for 69 yards in roughly a quarter and a half of play.
“We’ve got more playmakers, more depth everywhere”, Harris said.
The 29-year-old Sanchez, who trudged from NY to Philadelphia to Denver by showing ability and then, immediately after, a knack for bad decision-making, got his shot to solidify the job that should be his if experience counts for anything.
Ted Ginn led the Panthers previous year with 10 receiving touchdowns. Thankfully, a savior might just be waiting.
First, let’s get to our third question.
Harold got the wind knocked out of him when Carradine, rushing from the opposite side, inadvertently hit Harold with his helmet in the midsection. It will be interesting to see what ends up happening and what improvements have been made from last week. The defensive line will miss Malik Jackson; there’s no way around it, or him. With the way he is playing, it seems he has found a place on the team and maybe the starting job. With the Denver Broncos having a target on their backs, I see this being a tricky season for them. Yes, the “No Fly Zone” secondary should still be incredible.
Free safety Eric Reid’s interception return for a touchdown brought the 49ers to life, and Carlos Hyde soon followed with a touchdown run that helped the first-string offense save face.
The rookie RB out of the University of Utah is making huge strides.
My money would be on Paxton Lynch and the quarterback battle is down to Siemian and Lynch who will probably see plenty of first team work on Saturday night.
“Teammates and coaches have praised his quick cuts and strength, as well as his aptitude and mentality on the field”.
After seeming No. 1 signal-caller Mark Sanchez got the nod in last week’s exhibition opener vs. You’re hoping that the guy catches it and breaks a tackle.
Defense. Pure and simple. Lynch signed a contract with the Denver Broncos earlier this year in June. Here are five things, however, that you should keep your eye on during the game.
But the division won’t be easy to win.
What was a murky quarterback competition is now muddy and messy.

You might remember that Broncos coach Gary Kubiak replaced the legendary Peyton Manning last season after a four-interception effort against the Kansas City Chiefs.
