Film Festival, Scene 2: Chris Culliver was a college CB!
Trent Baalke, obviously, is at least mildly irritated by the suggestion that the 49ers will be trying Chris Culliver out at a new position in the NFL. He did play cornerback as a senior – just ask Baalke – but he only made seven college starts at the position (and 24 at safety). Continue reading

‘The Chosen 10’ premieres at Baalke Film Festival
At the snap, Aldon Smith darts right and cuts back left inside Nate Solder, who, completely fooled, wouldn’t make the Pleasanton High varsity if evaluated on this one play.

A breather for the Bell Cow? It could finally happen
In the 23 full games Gore has played since 2009, he’s had 426 of the 466 carries given to 49ers running backs, or 91.4 percent. Is that a lot?
