Anyway, it was a rare sight for Oppezzo and the 28,899 fans who saw that opener. Johnson doesn't blow many.

It's the first time he got burned that badly since last year when the Cleveland Browns scored two over him. That was a season opener, too. OTHERWISE THE 49ers defense did okay. As Christiansen pointed out, the Cowboy "rollout" offense presented many problems. The backs go in motion and the quarterback rolls out.

The 49er quarterbacks don do that Or thev're not supposed to. They have orders to stav in the pocket "We don't want our quarterback out there where some big lineman is going to fall on his lees Christiansen said.
