2.5K449ers 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 […]

5.4K14Alex Boone tells NFL to let players play: “We’re not going to be able to walk 15 years down the road. But it’s fine.”
San Francisco 49ers right guard Alex Boone ended his weekly segment with 95.7 The Game’s Damon Bruce with a long, spirited rant about the current state of officiating and the NFL that was, for lack of a better word, incredible. Not only does he describe how the officials “think that they’re so tough now because they […]

4.0K5Jim Harbaugh: Ray McDonald will play on Sunday
On Wednesday, Jim Harbaugh repeatedly said the 49ers would utilize “information and fact” to determine the right course of action with Ray McDonald, who was arrested over the weekend on domestic abuse charges. So will he make the trip to Dallas? “Yes,” said Harbaugh today. Will he play? “Yes. As it stands now, yes.” What […]

3.4KAnthony Davis still not practicing, but is Jonathan Martin a lock to start?
Every instinct is telling me not to write this. But that usually makes writing something more fun, so what the hell. Let’s grab some potato sacks and take a ride on the giant county fair slide of speculation, shall we? Anthony “Bam” Davis didn’t practice for the third straight day, due to a hamstring strain. He barely practiced throughout the offseason, […]

2.9K11Labor Day roundup: Boone’s back, ANOTHER 49ers arrest, more Huff stuff, Giants & A’s heading in opposite directions
We just got back from a mini-road trip that started in Mendocino and ended this afternoon at a pool at a swanky hotel in Sonoma County (reports that we snuck into the pool are unconfirmed at this time). That’s what happens when you’re about to have your first kid in less than three months — you get all the […]

Trading Alex Boone would make sense … sort of
The 49ers “dodged a bullet” over the weekend with Adam Snyder, who looked fairly gimpy throughout camp before the team traveled to Baltimore. They’re also watching the progress of Joe Looney, Jonathan Martin and others in the group to see just how bad the falloff would be if Alex Boone either stayed home or got traded to […]

3.0KVernon Davis reports to camp, and his teammates seem happy to see him
“The media has changed!” yelled the old man, leaning over slowly in his bathrobe to pick up the newspaper in his driveway. It certainly has, and tomorrow morning’s paper will carry the news that San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis reported to training camp with the rest of the veterans. And if the newspaper […]

Three 49ers minicamp absences: Vernon Davis and Alex Boone holding out, Eric Wright retiring
Since a big part of fielding a football team is making sure players are actually on the field, the first question directed to Jim Harbaugh before the team’s first minicamp practice was asked in an effort to find out who was missing. “We’ve got two players, and a third, Eric Wright, who’s not here as […]

Sorry, Vernon Davis — it’s Alex Boone who deserves a raise
The 49ers have just a shade over $5.7 million in cap space. Vernon Davis and Alex Boone are skipping workouts and have let it be known that they hope to get some of that available loot. While Davis is the one who went on ESPN and compared himself to Jimmy Graham, Boone has a much stronger […]

Though they have fallen short of football’s ultimate prize, they have not disappointed — in terms of competitive value, at least. Each year, the […]
