3.0K3Ranking the 49ers’ draft needs
It’s been a while since I’ve written about the San Francisco 49ers. That’s probably good news, considering how most of the offseason news has ranged from disheartening to horrifying (other than the Torrey Smith signing). They started their offseason program this week, which if nothing else should give the players some time with the semi-new coaching staff […]

3.2K1949ers 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 […]

4.7K849ers take first quarter off, destroy Rams anyway
The 49ers are capable of running effectively, moving the ball through the air, and throttling opposing offenses. They checked the boxes next to the latter two areas in a 31-17 win against the Rams, a game in which they ran away from St. Louis despite one of the more lifeless, reckless and feckless first quarters this team […]

3.1K23Ugly game, ugly loss: Bears score 21 fourth quarter points to ruin Levi’s Stadium debut for 49ers
This wasn’t a night when the 49ers wanted to see history repeat itself. The stadium looked good, but the game was another story. The turf wasn’t a problem, but the flags that littered the playing surface didn’t help. Even worse for the 49ers, Colin Kaepernick — who’s planning on starting a lot of games at this […]

4.4K449ers GIFs – Justin Smith sacks, Carlos Hyde runs, Jim Harbaugh vents
It’s been a depressing Monday in many respects, so let’s lighten the mood a little bit. My wife is back on a GIF-making mission this season, and I had three requests last night. Justin Smith Carlos Hyde Jim Harbaugh She went through the entire game and pulled seven GIFs. And if that’s not enough GIFfage […]

3.3K1PFF 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 […]

2.6K49ers announce active roster to face Cowboys, and it’s loaded with rookies
The 49ers released their list of inactives at noon: QB Josh Johnson CB Chris Cook RT Anthony Davis (injured) G/C Marcus Martin (injured) DL Tank Carradine DL Quinton Dial WR Quinton Patton There are several things we can take away from this announcement. 1. Blaine Gabbert is the backup quarterback, for better or worse. 2. Three […]

13 standouts from 49ers’ first preseason win of 2014
I didn’t see the 49ers beat the Chargers 21-7 in person, but after attending a birthday party for my Nana (93) and cousin Emily (30), I came home and went a little nuts with the Tivo remote. Rewinding, fast-forwarding, slow-motioning … I’m not sure if nature intended for preseason games to be explored so thoroughly, […]

LaMichael James dislocates elbow – same injury he suffered at Oregon
Two days after Kendall Hunter tore his ACL, LaMichael James was carted off the field during today’s practice. According to Ian Rapoport, James suffered a dislocated left elbow. He’s expected to miss a month, according to multiple reports. He suffered the same injury at Oregon, and here’s the good news: he didn’t even miss that much […]

Hunter’s ACL tear forces 49ers to count on James and Hyde (we’ll see about Lattimore)
So much for trading LaMichael James. With Kendall Hunter tearing his ACL during yesterday’s practice, the 49ers go from the deepest running backs group they’ve had in years to a situation that’s fairly unsettled. They have the veteran, Frank Gore, who was supposedly going to see a decreased workload this season. That could still happen, […]

3.1KCarlos Hyde Q&A: 49ers rookie RB talks about his “great hands,” Uncle Harbaugh and learning the offense
The 49ers drafted Carlos Hyde with the 57th overall pick due to his abilities as a runner, but his rushing style is more power than pure speed. So watching him take handoffs during OTAs and minicamp won’t tell you much, other than that he knows the plays and won’t fumble away a handoff for no […]
