Yes, being undefeated in the preseason is a good thing (the 49ers won) - as long as it leads to success during the regular season. The most important things to accomplish during the preseason are fine-tuning the play-calling and execution of the plays in actual game situations (without giving any 'secrets' away!), minimizing injuries, and finally, formulating the best possible roster from the choices available. Already this morning, I've seen the names of a few players that have been cut from the team. It's a tough deal for them - it's like being laid-off. And in the competitive world of professional sports, these athletes just may latch on to other teams and come back and 'bite' the team that let them go. Some may land on the practice squad, requiring yet more patience and hard work from them... it may be brutal, yet it's endlessly fascinating for us fans.
Best wishes to all the players, and Go Niners!
