2.6K16Brooks charged with sexual battery – will 49ers go with “due process” or release “with class”?
No offense to Tracey Kaplan, the San Jose Mercury News court reporter, but it’s kind of sad that 49ers fans and reporters are forced to follow her to get the daily scoop. The latest? Ahmad Brooks CHARGED by DA with sexual batter; grand jury INDICTS Ray McDonald on rape — tracey kaplan (@tkaplanreport) August 26, […]

2.4K14Ahmad Brooks accused of sexual assault by Ray McDonald’s accuser
The incident at Ray McDonald’s house that led to McDonald getting released by the 49ers isn’t going away, as TMZ reported today that McDonald’s accuser is now accusing Ahmad Brooks of sexual assault in a lawsuit.

2.2K1949ers free agents: who should stay and who should go
Many have said that the 49ers’ only saving grace in the upcoming season is their talented roster. This argument makes sense if you ignore the talent and corresponding roster on the 2010 squad, but insert a picture of Kermit sipping tea here. The 49ers are right up against the salary cap this season ($1.348M in […]

1.6K449ers surprises, Part II: the disappointments
Earlier this week we took a look at “six” 49ers who’ve played surprisingly well through the season’s first seven games. Now it’s time to look at some of the players who haven’t met expectations. 1. Vernon Davis After catching two touchdown passes against the Cowboys in Week 1, Davis injured his back against the Bears a week later and […]

Ahmad Brooks wasn’t all that familiar with Austin Davis … even after playing against him
Ahmad Brooks knew where to find the Rams quarterback throughout most of the game, as he came through with two of the 49ers’ five sacks in their 31-17 victory in St. Louis. Brooks may have been a little unclear on whom he pursued and sacked, based on his postgame interview. Q: Ahmad, is there a difference from seeing Austin Davis […]

3.1K5Vic Fangio fends off questions from CNN, compares Corey Lemonier to a baseball pitcher
It was a baseball-themed press conference for Vic Fangio, who has a favorite team. “The Phillies, I’m embarrassed to say.” Besides a few mentions of a non-football sport, this press conference was unique in that a reporter from CNN was in attendance and trying to get information out of Fangio that she had no chance […]

49ers OLBs aren’t getting it done without Aldon Smith
Three every-down performers are missing, and it’s obvious when watching the 49ers try to put together a full game. Scheme and halftime adjustments are important, but the second half fades seen over the last two games can probably be explained in part by the absences of Anthony Davis, NaVorro Bowman and Aldon Smith. The 49ers […]

2.4K1PFF grades look great for Kaepernick, Smith … not so much for Brooks, Wilhoite
The scores provided by Pro Football Focus are thoroughly done and very interesting. The whole shebang is also a paid service, so it doesn’t seem right to go through the entire 49ers roster and list everyone’s score. But Jeff Deeney is nice enough to put together a morning-after-the-game email for those who cover the team, and those emails […]

Practice report: 49ers test out Levi’s Stadium, fans see a lot of INTs
I forgot today was the first open practice at Levi’s Stadium, until I took the Great America Parkway exit off 237 and saw more traffic in left and center lanes than I’ve ever seen on that stretch. It was around 11:45, a little over an hour before practice, so I had plenty of time. But […]

49ers training camp practice No. 1: Vernon returns, Stevie shines, Jimmie is the anti-A.J.
The day started with Jim Harbaugh’s first press conference inside Levi’s Stadium, in a university-like lecture hall. “Welcome,” Harbaugh said after stepping up to the podium. “Nicer setup than we had before, huh?” Sure, if you call a huge climate-controlled room with padded seats an upgrade over the media tent that airplanes passed over once every five […]
