Top draft WR Michael Crabtree is a holdout for the Niners. Denver head coach Josh McDaniels is making his debut and will be breaking in a new offense with the departure of disgruntled signal caller Jay Cutler.

McDaniels has told his starters and draft picks to expect to "play deep" into tonight's game. Extremely rare for preseason, he has a full-fledged game plan and scouting report. He even cancelled practice to go over the scouting report and game plan.

San Francisco has a major QB battle between Shaun Hill and Alex Smith. Shaun Hill gets the nod here. The two have played evenly though in training camp. The flow of the game will determine when Smith comes in. Rookie Nate Davis may get a few snaps.

San Francisco is working on the Taser, their version of the Wildcat. They have three former college QBs playing other positions, so things could get fancy tonight.

Bob Warner of NFL betting blog Lines-Maker.com said that reports are that Smith has matured and relaxed. "Look for his coming out party Thursday night," the betting guru promises.

RB Frank Gore and WR Isaac Bruce, two starters are out for San Francisco. Starting LG David Baas is also out.

Denver's defensive coordinator Mike Nolan was the Niners head coach until he was fired late last year.

Broncos running back LaMont Jordan is out and oft-injured Ryan Torain was cut. Rookie sensation Knowshon Moreno is expected to get extended playing time. Denver S Brian Dawkins is not expected to play.
