Sophomore Daniel Faalele worked at left guard, switching from his usual spot at right tackle. Ben Cleveland was at right tackle. The hulking 6-foot-8, 380-pound Faalele isn’t your typical body type for left guard, but Harbaugh noted that he has quick hands. Harbaugh said he wants to give Faalele “every opportunity to see kind of where he flashes.” The left guard battle is deeper than previously thought.
Odafe Oweh and David Ojabo continue to look good on the edges, stringing outside runs and using their quickness to get into the backfield on pass rushes. New Outside Linebackers Coach Chuck Smith spoke highly of both.
