Strong Garoppolo vs. K.C. – "Not in the Right Direction"

Apparently, this opportunity to remember was also what he had to forget. Earlier this week, Garoppolo vowed that he would "get up and fight" after his struggles in Denver.

On the heels of his pre-match stop, Garoppolo appeared and thus helped dispel some of the concerns that followed him throughout the week.

Garoppolo played the entire first half, a total of 37 shots, and finished 14 of his 20 goals for 188 yards with a touchdown and no interception for a pass mark of 116.2. In doing so, he helped erase some of the residue of Monday's game and the practice of the five interceptions that preceded him five days earlier.

"This is not a big surprise, I think, when a guy is away for a long time and especially after an ACL," said coach Kyle Shanahan. "But that's how football goes sometimes, especially in pre-season." Last week was not as bad as it looked, but it really had Looks so bad live.And today everyone was a little better on the same page, we moved the channels several times, and you enter a rhythm and you start to forget things and to play soccer. "

Garoppolo's rebounding performance just happened at Arrowhead Stadium, where he suffered a knee injury and cost him the last 13 games of last season.

On Thursday, Garoppolo acknowledged that it would be a bit "strange" to be back at Arrowhead. Shanahan said it would be a "strange" experience for his quarterback. Garoppolo also wanted to focus on the erasure of the Denver game.

It did not take long to go there.

After missing his first pitch and scooping another penalty keeping in Kansas City, Garoppolo hit the big game Kendrick Bourne for 18 yards, Garckolo's first positive gain in this pre-season.

"I thought it was good," Garoppolo said. "It was very different from last week, and once you've got your first try, you start having a rhythm, it's been a very good game, I have not been touched. much easier. "

From there, Garoppolo seemed to settle. In the second pass of the Niners, he completed his four passes for 75 yards, including one pass perfectly placed on the right-hand line for a 33-yard gain in the third and third. In the next game, Garoppolo threw a pass to the end zone on the left touchline. Running back Matt Breida had a tough diving pass for a 20-yard touchdown.

Before the end of his night, Garoppolo even took his first bag since the injury, while Frank Clark of Kansas City dropped him for a loss of 7 meters, thus ending the third possession of the ball by the offensive.

Garoppolo and the first team's offense completed their last two orders with goals from 29 to 35 yards from kicker Robbie Gould, before giving quarterback to Nick Mullens.

"Jimmy was pumped for today," Shanahan said. "When guys do not play well the week before and everyone is talking about it, all the guys want to do is come back and it could not happen fast enough. worked for him. "

Saturday's start will likely be the end of Garoppolo's pre-season. Shanahan previously stated that he had no plans to play Garoppolo or most of the runners in the pre-season finale.
