3.9K13Best part about yesterday’s game: no more “should’ve kept Alex” talk
I’m a terrible multitasker, and as such it’s difficult to focus on more than one “hot take” discussion topic at once. So with all the discussion over whether Jim Harbaugh is in the middle of his last year coaching the 49ers, win or lose, my mind can’t stretch around getting sick of an old 49ers argument. […]

2.4K2049ers should stop drafting “redshirt” players
In the last couple years, as the San Francisco 49ers looked forward to opening Levi’s Stadium, it appeared that several of their draft day decisions were made with an eye on the future. That’s not a novel idea by any means, but the 49ers’ habit of purposely selecting players who weren’t expected to contribute throughout their […]

Despite what some might say, 49ers’ championship window is still wide open
The 49ers’ 2013 season ended in the worst possible way on Sunday. A lot of questions face this team as the players clean out their lockers and the front office prepares for the upcoming draft rather than the Super Bowl. Will they lose Greg Roman, Vic Fangio or Jim Tomsula? Is the Frank Gore era […]

The evolution of Michael Crabtree
The void of Jerry Rice, the greatest wide receiver of all time, casts a looming shadow over the San Francisco 49ers much like Levi’s Stadium does today over the 49ers’ Santa Clara headquarters on a sunny afternoon. Since San Francisco selected Jerry Rice with the 16th overall pick in the 1985 draft, the 49ers have […]

49ers 2012 opponents are flat out offensive
Yesterday I broke down the defenses that the 49ers faced in 2011, along with those they’ll face in 2012. The news was...

Who’s got it better (at WR): 49ers or Raiders?
The history of the NFL is replete with iconic moments: Joe Namath’s guarantee of victory prior to Super Bowl III, Dwight Clark’s catch, Franco Harris’s immaculate reception, and Kellen Winslow’s performance in 1982 AFC divisional playoffs. But for every monument of greatness, there are the not-so-great. Perhaps none speak to this as perfectly as the […]

A.J. Jenkins fires back at ‘negative bloggers’
Grant Cohn, who gave the San Francisco 49ers an “F” for their selection of wide receiver A.J. Jenkins with the 30th pick in the first round, had this to say on Saturday about Jenkins’ play during the 49ers’ recently concluded minicamp: BIGGEST LETDOWN A.J. Jenkins: The Niners first round pick looked like one of the […]

Notes from an ‘A++ practice’: Breaking down Kaepernick’s TD pass to Jenkins
The last practice of the veteran minicamp went spectacularly, according to a beaming Jim Harbaugh. But I’ll be honest: I don’t know what a bad NFL practice looks like. Guys constantly jumping offsides during drills? Anyway, the 49ers’ were full of energy on Thursday afternoon. Here’s what I noticed, along with a few pictures (not […]

Jim Harbaugh press conference: videos and transcript (including a question from BASG)
Moving onto the part of the Jim Harbaugh press conference that didn’t have to do with Matt Cain’s perfect game … I pulled seven different short clips from the session that I thought were interesting for the people who like watching and listening to an interview subject. For those who just want to read what […]

A.J. Jenkins learns from the DBs, but not Jerry Rice (yet)
A.J. Jenkins, due to his draft position and the 49ers’ relative lack of depth at the position last year, is a very important player. While guys like Justin Smith (who chatted with reporters as well — look out for that) aren’t learning anything new during these mini camps, Jenkins’ progress has been heavily scrutinized. So […]

Tired of waiting for football? Check out some more 49ers practice photos!
Since the first photographic journey through a San Francisco 49ers practice was so much fun to put together, I combed through the rest of the 300+ photos I took that glorious afternoon a week ago and chose the best of the rest. In focusing mostly on Randy Moss last week, I left out several other […]
