Boldin said. "Those are guys that are going to bust their butt, try to do things the right way as much as possible. Nobody's perfect. We're going to try to go out and try for perfection each day." Willis, Davis, Borland and Justin Smith retired, while Aldon Smith was re- leased Aug. 7 after more legal trouble. Franchise rushing leader Frank Gore and former first-round pick offensive lineman Mike Iupati each departed in free agency. Despite all the turnover, the 49ers are counting on the talent they still have to carry them back to re- spectability on the heels of an 8-8 season and the first time out of the playoffs in four years. "It's been a long offsea- son. Obviously we didn't finish the season last year the way we wanted to," third-year safety Eric Reid said. "We didn't make the playoffs. The bright side of it was the guys got to get away for a long time, seven months. Hopefully we're all healthy and ready to get back at it." Here are some things to watch for with San Fran- cisco: STRONG-ARMED KAEPER- NICK Kaepernick spent a good chunk of the off- season working with Kurt Warner and other quar- terback gurus in Arizona, but through the preseason hardly looked polished as he struggled to build any momentum for an offense that will be scrutinized from Day 1. Kaepernick and the first- team offense failed to score a touchdown on eight pre- season possessions. BOWMAN'S COMEBACK Bulky brace or not on his surgically repaired left knee, NaVorro Bowman has shown immediately he is back to the defensive force he was before a dev- astating injury during the NFC championship at Seat- tle in January 2014. He made three tackles in three snaps in his return during the second pre- season game, then sacked Peyton Manning twice in a loss to the Broncos in the third exhibition contest. "I'm satisfied with how much work I've put in, how far I've come, how fast I'm able to recover coverage- wise," Bowman said. O-LINE QUESTIONS This unit used to be a model of stability for San Fran- cisco, and Joe Staley, Alex Boone and the others are determined to get back to that level. But the O-line is one of the biggest question marks — especially with young center Marcus Mar- tin and two new faces on the right side in guard Jor- dan Devey and tackle Erik Pears. Kaepernick took 52 sacks last season, second most in the league behind the 55 on Jacksonville's Blake Bortles, and the of- fense struggled with clock problems. "I think everyone real- izes the players we have lost and the players we have here are very capa- ble of stepping in and be- ing impact players for us," Kaepernick said. AUSSIE ENTHUSIASM Jar- ryd Hayne has a whole country cheering him back home in Australia, and the former rugby league star has quickly earned plenty of fans in the Bay Area, too. He secured a spot on the 53-man roster with his stellar preseason and training camp. "The odds of an Ameri- can that grows up in this game playing in the Na- tional Football League ... it's astronomical," Tom- sula said. "Now you're talking about a guy that was not raised in this game and he's made it. It's a tremendous achieve- ment. I think that's why everybody's so enamored with it. That true story, the American way, or the Australian way." DETERMINED DAVIS Ver- non Davis would rather for- get last season and all the frustration with his health and a lesser role. He is ready to return to top form for a contract year and bring his numbers back near where he had them with 13 touchdowns in 2009 and again in '13. The 31-year-old Davis managed only 26 recep- tions for 245 yards and two TDs last year. 49ers FROM PAGE 1 Spartans moved the ball into the red zone as time ran down but couldn't cross the goal line against a running clock. The take-home after the game was staying together as a team, not pointing fin- gers and focusing on the work that begins Monday preparing to face the An- derson Cubs Sept. 11 back in Red Bluff. Anderson lost 42-6 Fri- day against Orland and 35-8 against Shasta Aug. 28. Friday was a home game for West Valley, but because the school's track is being replaced the field wasn't available. As a re- sult, the game was played at Shasta High School in Redding. Spartans FROM PAGE 1 MLBBASEBALL San Francisco Giants at Arizona Diamond- backs:6:30p.m.,CSNBA.

His teammates didn't give him much help at the plate, either. Phil Gosselin and A.J. Pollock homered off the San Francisco right-hander and the Arizona Diamondbacks opened a three-game series Monday with a 6-1 victory over the Giants, their eighth loss in 10 games. Patrick Corbin, who missed all last season fol- lowing Tommy John sur- gery, threw six scoreless innings for the Diamond- backs, who snapped a four- game losing streak. Corbin (5-3) scattered six hits, struck out five with no walks and had an RBI sin- gle. Gosselin's three-run shot was his second home run since being activated from the 60-day disabled list (fractured left thumb) eight days earlier. Leake (9-8) allowed six runs and 11 hits in 5 2-3 in- ningstofallto0-3inhisfive starts since being acquired from Cincinnati. A'S 10, ASTROS 9 Pinch- hitter Coco Crisp hit a go- aheadtwo-rundoubleinthe sixth inning after Oakland chased Mike Fiers, and the Athletics beat the division- leadingHoustonAstros10-9 to snap a five-game skid. Fiers (2-1) allowed con- secutive walks to start the inning before giving way to Josh Fields, who gave up Billy Butler's single to load the bases for Crisp. Fiers pitched on eight days' rest in his second start since tossing a no-hit- ter against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Aug. 21 while throwing 134 pitches. Josh Phegley hit a two- run drive in the seventh for the A's after Houston had pulled within 8-6 in the top half. Houston's Jake Maris- nick added a two-run shot in the eighth as 15 of the game's 19 runs came from the bottom of the sixth and after. Tennis Andy Murray watched a 130mphacezoombytocre- ate a two-set deficit at the U.S. Open, and then sat in his changeover chair and cursed at himself, over and over and over. Oftenabletospurhimself by letting out some anger, thetwo-timeGrandSlamti- tle winner only briefly man- aged to get into this match. The third-seeded Murray lost before the quarterfi- nals at a major for the first time since 2010, beaten 7-6 (5), 6-3, 6-7 (2), 7-6 (0) by 15th-seeded Kevin Ander- son of South Africa in the fourth round at Flushing Meadows. In Anderson's first major quarterfinal, he will face yet another two-time ma- jor champion, Stan Waw- rinka,whoeliminated68th- ranked American Donald Young 6-4, 1-6, 6-3, 6-4. Golf Rickie Fowler won the Deutsche Bank Champion- ship with one big putt. Hen- rik Stenson might have lost it with one big mistake. Fowler rallied from two shots behind with five holes to play by making a 40-foot birdie putt on the 14th. He played flawless the rest of the way for a 3-under 68 and a one-shot victory at the TPC Boston. Stenson never trailed un- til his tee shot on the par-3 16th came up short and bounced into the water for adoublebogey.Oneshotbe- hind, theSwedecouldnever catch up and had to settle for a 70. College football Braxton Miller scored two touchdowns, including an electrifying 53-yard run, and No. 1 Ohio State pulled away fromVirginia Techfor a season-opening 42-24 vic- tory. Cardale Jones, whose status as the starter was not known until he came out for the first offensive se- ries, threw for two touch- downs and ran for another score as Ohio State avenged a 35-21 home loss to Vir- ginia Tech last season and earned its 14th straight win overall.
