San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was hopeful, if not overly enthusiastic about his wide receivers’ performances during his team’s 17-9 preseason victory over the Dallas Cowboys last Saturday.
“We have a bunch of young guys who are extremely hungry, and they are going for it,” Shanahan told reporters on a Sunday conference call (h/t 49ers Webzone). “We’ve got some other guys who have been here who have also been that way, but I think guys are very evenly matched right now, and I want someone to step it up.”
San Francisco netted 256 receiving yards during the contest, and seven wide receivers managed to catch passes throughout the game.
