SANTA CLARA – Here’s what stood out Wednesday at practice.
THE NOT SO GOOD
1. QB Jimmy Garoppolo. Did something I’ve never seen an NFL quarterback do – throw five straight interceptions during 11-on-11 team drills. Here’s a rundown of the picks:
- Overthrew a deep pass to Ross Dwelley, who was running a corner route. Dwelley dove for the pass and inadvertently tipped it with one hand to Jaquiski Tartt.
- Underthrew a deep pass to Matt Breida, was running a wheel route. Free safety Tarvarius Moore read Garoppolo’s eyes and broke early on the pass. Breida never had a chance.
- Telegraphed a throw to Dwelley, who was running an out route. Richard Sherman read Garoppolo, undercut Dwelley’s route and made the interception.
- Stared down Dante Pettis in the corner of the end zone, decided Pettis wasn’t open, looked away from a split second, panicked, looked back at Pettis and forced him a pass even though he never was open. Ahkello Witherspoon caught the ball.
- Stared down Dwelley, who was running a curl route in the end zone. Moore stepped in front of the pass, intercepted it and returned it for a touchdown.
Garoppolo has an impressive physical skillset and he throws a pretty spiral, but he seems to make too many mistakes for an NFL starting quarterback. He needs to clean up his game, because his backup, Nick Mullens, does not make many mistakes. More on Mullens below.
2. LT Joe Staley. Left practice early with a sore pectoral muscle. And just like that, one of the 49ers’ thinnest position groups got even thinner.
3. LT Justin Skule. Started at left tackle because Staley is injured and backup left tackle Shon Coleman is out for the season with a broken leg. During 11-on-11s, Skule made Solomon Thomas look like Nick Bosa. The 49ers probably should trade for a backup offensive tackle pronto.
4. TE George Kittle. Missed his second straight practice with a calf injury.
5. Pre-snap penalties. The offense committed three, and the defense committed one.
THE GOOD
1. FS Tarvarius Moore. Started at free safety for the ninth practice in a row and intercepted Garoppolo twice. Moore now has intercepted Garoppolo three times during the past three practices. Moore absolutely deserves to start at free safety Week 1.
2. SS Jaquiski Tartt. Hung on to a pass that Dwelley tipped right to him.
3. CB Richard Sherman. Snagged a pass Garoppolo served him on a silver platter.
4. CB Ahkello Witherspoon. Intercepted a pass intended for Dante Pettis. Witherspoon has dominated Pettis all offseason. Today, Pettis caught just two of six targets from Garoppolo.
5. WR Jordan Matthews. Caught four of five targets from Garoppolo, including a 21-yard pass while Matthews ran a deep over route. Matthews has become the starting slot receiver during Trent Taylor’s absence and has taken advantage of the opportunity.
6. WR Kendrick Bourne. Caught three of four targets from Mullens, including a deep touchdown pass down the middle of the field.
7. WR Richie James Jr. Caught two of three targets from Garoppolo, including a 30-yard pass downfield.
8. WR Jalen Hurd. Received his first target from Garoppolo since camp started. The pass was a bubble screen. Hurd caught it and ran three yards for a touchdown. He seems to be the backup slot receiver behind Matthews for the time being.
9. QB Nick Mullens. Completed 10 of 14 passes, threw a deep touchdown pass to Bourne and even scrambled for a touchdown in the red zone. Most importantly, Mullens made no major mistakes. Threw no picks. Took no sacks. He’s not the most physically gifted quarterback, but he consistently makes fewer mistakes than his teammates, and that’s why he perseveres and why he may become a fulltime starter one day. The quarterback who makes the fewest mistakes eventually rises to the top and keeps the starting job.

Guess the following was just the law of averages playing out…
Garoppolo rallied at the end with a two-minute drive. His last throw at the goal line was nearly picked by Tartt but squirted through and into Jordan Matthews’ hands.
Going up against the Broncos–practice and game–will provide a better picture.
When will Grant admit openly that Mullens is in a competition to start with Jimmy G? He has had the better camp and, frankly, has the higher football IQ. He certainly knows and has mastered the playbook. The team prefers Mullens. He was a trusted and popular leader on this team last year.
Mullens will have an opportunity Monday night to show JG up. Should be interesting. I think the kid has all the attributes of an nfl star in the making. His perseverence and journey should be noted: Rookie season, CUT and stuck with it on the practice squad for the 9ers in 17. Last year – QB3…STUCK with it and ended up starting 8 games and throwing for 2,277 yards (64.7% completion rate) after Bethard, with a more complete team, BOMBED. Now? He’s truly beginning see everything clearly, and is NAILING textbook throws (not that he wasn’t in games last year or anything..lol). I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised, as much as I like Bethard’s character, if they give Mullins the nod. But part of me believes Shanny will pull a Balke and favor C.J. cause that was his guy.
nicely said
I watched NFL with ==>> NFLQHDTV and I think they have the best option to watch regular season too. Search By == NFLQHDTV
I think <3 NFLQH .COM <3 can be good place for you. You also will have there very good lives with all season games.
One good thing: the number of fans who wanted to trade Mullens seems to have dwindled to near zero. I was SMH reading them earlier this offseason. Dumb, dumb idea, even if he doesn’t play a down this year. What would he even have brought in trade, like a 5th rounder at best? Just because CJB has the better “draft pedigree?”
Instead of trading him, the Niners need to sign Mullens to a real contract, pronto. He’s a FA next year. They should do it before the season. If he plays, he could get a lot more expensive.
yes!
Some would say that- if Mullens could garner a boatload of picks, no backup QB is untradeable.
.
Before the Broncos signed Flacco and drafted Lock, Scangarello may have advocated for the Broncos to acquire Mullens, giving up a second round pick and a conditional 2020 pick. If the Broncos had made it to the playoffs, the conditional pick would have been upgraded to a second round pick. If the Broncos had managed to get to the SB, the conditional pick would have been upgraded to a first round pick.
.
Sure, a measly 5th round pick would be totally unsatisfactory, especially for a QB starter, and JG recovering from an ACL.
.
Now CJB is worth a 5th or 6th round pick, especially after watching so many drek QBs who played in the first preseason games. Washington may be a good target to trade CJB to. Keenum is mediocre, and Haskins is too raw
Well, in the bigger scheme of things, it matters very little what Grant admits or not. Gran’t isn’t a member of the York family.
I will admit I am no position to know categorically if Mullens has a higher football IQ or not. Nor do I know if the team_ perfers Mullens over Jimmy. Anyone on this blog know for certain about the team’s preference? Anyone?
Before I_ panic, I’m going to follow the team through the remainder of the preseason and into the first few games of the regular season. Preseason results can fortell the future, and often preseasons quickly fade and are long forgotten.
If you watch closely, as Tim Ryan pointed out last year, you get facial hints. Jimmy G is a pretty boy with an extra brief resume. He was grossly overpaid. Mullens knows the playbook, is far smarter and has the faith of the team for his skills and leadership last year. Yes, Jimmy G will start the season. I hope he does well. But I would not be surprised if he is replaced mid-year. He has NOT been impressive in camp. I have the painful impression he is lightweight in life and in football. Mullens has depth as a human being and is far smarter on the field.
Is this a serious statement!!??
LOL if it is.
Come on now, it’s practice, and seeing how Jimmy G has commanded the huddle and the field when he has played and with his quick release, I’m sorry but there is no comparison.
You can’t be on the gridiron when you’re injured. Would you like to discuss JG’s durability on the pitch?? He’s about as reliable as Goodwin at this point. And the York’s will be out close to 70 large when the 9ers fail under QB1 and have to rely on Mullins this year.
Jimmy g is slow to react and is unsure of the calls and strategies. Mullens picks it all up quickly. Shallow men are not interesting to females. Jimmy G. is, well, nice smile but not much behind it.
You don’t have any substantial body of work to make a determination like this.
He has how Jimmy worked on the body of that porn star to make his assessment. That could be considered a body of work.
giggle..true. He just is a lightweight as a person and likely as a player as well. Tim Ryan said last year that Mullens had the respect of the players and was a smart, hardworking QB. He replaces an “injured” Jimmy G at midseason I think.
Hey allie, have you been taking a few blows to the head during your intramurals at “bryn mawr”?
So because, Jimmy wasn’t looking for a maid in the living room, a cook in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom makes him shallow? Interesting….
Way to go Allie. You pass judgement on the depth of character and intelligence of a man you’ve never met. That’s like a doctor in Philadelphia diagnosing a patient in San Jose who he/she never examined or read the medical record of. Brilliant! You must have extra sensory abilities.
Only you’re not a doctor nor do you have any resume in football. Presumptuous much? Get over yourself. We’ll judge JimmyG by his on field production not your baseless Kardashian random takes.
Exact the exact opposite of that is true.
+100
Not a chance in hell that Mullens starts week 1. For reasons that have absolutely NOTHING to do with who plays better in preseason/practice. First, you just admitted a 130M mistake without having any real-game evidence to support that decision. Makes no sense. Garoppolo will have to fail in the first 5 games for the Niners to make a move.
Next, if you were to start Mullens, you just destroyed your presumed franchise QB’s confidence. What happens after game #3 and Mullens struggles (like he did for much of last year)? Do you go to Garoppolo, the QB who’s the confidence you just destroyed? Again, makes no sense.
If it came down to Richie James OR Jordan Mathews, who would you choose?
Earlier, I would have said James. But there’s something comforting about throwing to Mathews: you know he’s going to catch the damn ball.
Garoppolo likely suffering from a bit of arm fatigue at this stage of his comeback. Let’s remember, he actually went months without being able to throw a proper pass, and, nothing really simulates that part of the process. If this were less of an aberration, I would look at it differently. Up until today (I think) Jimmy had never thrown more than 1 INT in a Niners training camp, so that should keep things in perspective.
On a different note:
~ I’m confident McKinnon will start the season on the PUP. Circle week 7, a home game VS Carolina (who I predict will have a great season provided Cam comes back healthy) as McKinnon likely return date, if the Niners need him.
~ I’m also very confident Bosa will return 100% for opening day. He’s simply doing things physically the last couple days, that you wouldn’t expect someone dealing with a high-ankle sprain. What he’s doing now isn’t consistent with what I would expect most trainers would consider recommended, for what, one week after the injury?
~ I like Dante Pettis, I’ll say that. However, right now, Dante Pettis looks like a versatile 3rd string WR to me. I expect both Samuel and Hurd to latch onto the starting roles sooner, rather than later. I have to wonder if Pettis has lost just a little of that special agility after gaining 10 pounds? Maybe he’ll adjust at some point, but I just see more talent with Samuel, and much more potential from Hurd.
~ I’d be willing to bet that the Niners will role with 10 DL’s on the 53. Having a massive, powerful DL fresh, by way of constantly rotating lineman in and out on a regular basis, has been the plan a few years in the making, with the hopes of keeping the line fresh, allowing the defense to close out any close games this season. And that would be a big deal! – K. Street likes mightily powerful
~ Athletic freak – Tarvarius Moore, looks like a natural FS in this system, probably should have been playing Safety from the get.
~ Sherman look’s very close to where he was at physically pre-ruptured tendon. And that would also be a big deal! In fact, the entire secondary does look improves from a talent standpoint, IMO.
~ This team looks loaded everywhere, with the exception of the OL. I expect the Niners to land a very solid OT and perhaps even a OG, via the trade market. With a fully healthy Richburg, the starting 5 is very solid. And few teams are lucky enough to return all 5 starters after any off-season. Unfortunately depth is a concern at the moment, so they’ve got to make a move. It’s also worth remembering that the Niners are 2nd up on waiver claims, and I suspect just like is usually the case, there will be a lot of teams hoping to stash some quality young linemen with big upside.
correction: In the first paragraph I meant to say that – up until today, Jimmy G has never thrown more than 1 INT in any one training camp practice. I believe I am right on this, but not absolutely positive.
JImmyG threw 3 picks in a game last year HELLO and two were pick 6’s…..thanks for playing Homer
Correction: JimmyG threw 3 picks last year in a game two were for pick 6’s….it wAS NOT praCTICe…..hello

HelLO ALliE hOw ARe YoU?
Zack Cox Twitter feed – NE Patriots training camp, Monday, 8/12:
Hot start here for the Patriots’ DBs. They’ve already picked off Tom Brady four times, including back-to-back INTs in 7-on-7s.
Lol, and that was barely half way through the Patriot’s Monday session.
Cue Allen Iverson – What are we talking about? Practice? We’re talking about practice, man! We’re talking about practice! We’re talking about practice… We ain’t talking about the game! We’re talking about practice, man!
Deebo turned on the jets against the Cowboys, and according to NFL’s Next Generation Stats, Deebo Samuel was clocked as the fastest player to carry the football during the first week of the preseason.
Deebo Samuel has 4.48 speed. He has a thick frame, and can break tackles. He jumped 39 inches in the vertical. He has big, reliable hands. He has excellent route running skills. He’s sudden, and he’s extremely efficient!
Of course the route-running is the lifeblood of any receiver. If you’re going to play WR at the NFL level, you have to find ways to get open, and Deebo … he can do that in his sleep. In fact, Deebo doesn’t create just some separation, he gets miles away from defenders. He might not be the fastest guy in the world. He might not even be the quickest guy in the world. However, his suddenness and ability to set defenders up is special, and he consistently creates yards after the catch.
At some point you have to stop and ask yourself – how was Deebo not the best wide receiver in the 2019 NFL Draft?
Spoiler alert: he probably was, and is!
My question is, what does Jimmy G have to fight for? It’s not like he’s fighting for his position. I think he’s sick of training camp and he’s ready to start playing football, instead of these vanilla practices

If Garoppolo is a train wreck this year the 49ers can save $22+ mill if they move on.
That contract was basically a 2 year prove it deal.
The only train wreck is the people who want to throw shade on anything this team does.
Those people need to get a life until the season starts and actual games are played. Until then, STFU!
Hush!
No Kidding. Try to show positive support !
I would hope someone throws some shade on Levi Stadium. The fans on the sun side could use some.
Correct, it’s a two-year prove-it deal, not a training camp/preseason prove-it deal. Anyone who thinks the Niners will start anyone but JimmyG in week 1, are nuts.
Meh, sometimes when I go to the driving range I shank several balls in a row so bad its dangerous for the others on the driving range. Then I go out and hit every green in regulation when the real golf begins. Not worried about Jimmy G in the least. Brian Hoyer threw 4 picks and fumbled twice in a playoff game. Glad JG had his bad day in a training camp practice.
Grant -let’s put you in the coaches chair for a second.
If this was your team-would you start Jimmy G or Nick week one based on your observations.
Could they get a 2nd round pick for him still?
Grant will not answer you. He really dosen’t like Jimmy G.
Neither does Kyle duh
The big thing here is Staley.
Not really. He was sore. The big thing is whether Mullins will start this year.
We don’t really know how serious the Staley Pectoral thing is. Hopefully no biggie. But niners are thin on the line on offense and need to cover more than they have so far, in case there are more issues, as is the current trend. I read there is an excellent OT that is or may be available from Washington (Trent Williams). If there is an extra large player with poor footwork who tends to fall on his team mates (I do not know that this is the case, but if so) then it seems cut the low potential liability and get better quality depth there. The o-line did not look good on Saturday and I didn’t see who it was, but it was a fellow lineman that fell on Coleman (Beavers?). Was this the same one who fell on Bosa?
One other Devils Advocates theory….
Could KS have tipped off the defense on the plays to do a purposeful “humbler” for Jimmy? Just to give a bit of adversity to him?
No.
Not likely but since Kyle was coaching defense at the time he may have made extremely helpful high quality suggestions for the type of plays that Jimmy was likely to run. I would guess that part of it is players being especially keen and motivated with that kind of attention focused on them. It’s good to see KS is not coddling his presumed starter. But the adversity appears to be inherent rather than contrived.
Also there is the issue with the line with Staley out. The article Cubus referenced below explains that somewhat. So hopefully this is helpful training for a situation that could easily happen during the season, considering the depth on the line, or lack thereof. It does help make the point about the need for addressing that issue, I’m thinking.
Here is what Shanahan said about it:
You want so badly to make it up the next play, but the next play you’ve still got to make the right decisions and take what the defense gives you,” Shanahan said of Garoppolo’s poor stretch. “Sometimes it’s hard to make the right decisions when you’re fired up and competitive and usually when you make a bad play it makes your mind go a little bit sideways.
“So that’s why it is sometimes a good situation to put guys in. When that does happen, sometimes you try to protect them a little bit in the game, but in practice, it’s the exact opposite. When there’s an issue, you kind of poke at it a little bit more to see how guys react.”
So it wasn’t a giveaway, but he definitely “Poked at it”.
Does Mullins actually look like he’s actually playing better than Jimmy G??? He seems to be putting solid days together. Hmmmm..
Reminds me of the year that Plunkett played much better than Pastorin camp, but it took a broken leg to get the starting spot. Davis was never going to replace Pastorini since he just traded for him. Mullins would have to be extremely better than Jimmy to get the starters position. Plus Jimmy would have to stink it up bigtime or get injured.
Below is a link to Biderman’s article. It’s more balanced including Jimmy starting 7 for 9 with a 45 yard completion to Richie James. KS said that he let Jimmy run with trying to make up for the interceptions (even though he actually kept digging the hole deeper) because he wanted to see how he would handle adversity. KS would not have allowed this during a game. This is just a practice with no consequences; it’s a chance to test all kinds of boundaries and limits including those that exist in the mind. If this happened during a game, it would be a much greater cause for concern.

Put the water down.
5 picks on 5 consecutive throws is awful. Practice or not.
That’s like Houston hitting 5 in a row off the guy next to him on the driving range.
Hey, on the flip side, how about our defense! ?
But it’s simple, if Jimmy flops it’s the next man up : Welcome Nick Mullens.
How many quarterbacks actually flop under Shanahan? He’s making you a believer in mullens and a Beathard. STOP IT. Relax. Hell be the best option on the team at worst
I guess you didn’t read my entire post. Nevertheless, I’ll wait awhile to see what happens before I over react, if that’s okay with you, Jack.
LOL
Saying that picks on 5 straight throws is awful isn’t an overreaction.
Zack Cox
@ZackCoxNESN
Hot start here for the Patriots’ DBs. They’ve already picked off Tom Brady four times, including back-to-back INTs in 7-on-7s.
“If you don’t have the intestinal fortitude to go test it, you’re gonna be one of these quarterbacks that checks it down every time… and that’s not what it’s all about.” Could he be talking about Alex Smith?
Not really good with numbers but I think 4 < 5 and 2 in a row is < 5 in a row.
Yes. It’s practice. It doesn’t go in his football card. Interceptions on 5 straight throws is awful.
The fact that people need to try and defend it is freaking hilarious.
Defend? Nah, more like perspective. That was Andrew Reid talking about Captain Checkdown.
Doesn’t matter if that was Captain Kangaroo making the comment.
Has zero to do with perspective or anything other than a QB threw picks on 5 straight passes.
Like I wrote in my previous response to you, yeah it’s practice and it’s time to work on stuff. Doesn’t mean the result isn’t awful.
Sure it’s awful, terrible, and ghastly. Use whatever adjective you want, but it’s not the first time it’s happened in practice, won’t be the last and even HOF’er’s have found themselves in those situations. No big deal as long as it doesn’t transfer over to the regular season….
I don’t think there’s a reporter on the 49ers beat that has seen any quarterback do that before.
So what? What’s the point? A player can’t have a bad practice. Oh wait, did I say practice?
It’s one thing to report. But reporting non sense when you have nothing creative to report makes this all just boring BS!
I don’t think there’s a reporter on the 49ers beat that has seen any quarterback do that before.
Doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened ever before. I bet Favre threw his fair share.
I don’t think there’s a reporter on the 49ers beat that has seen any quarterback do that before.
Just curious how on Gods green earth would you know if a Bay Area reporter had seen that or not in 49ers history?
Can’t defend 5 int’s in a row, practice or not, people try. But it’s still early, really rusty?
https://www.sfchronicle.com/49ers/article/49ers-Garoppolo-leads-a-pick-parade-throws-14304776.php
“I bet Favre threw his fair share.”
5 in a row? LOL
Well, he does own the interception record with over 336 doesn’t he?
The interesting thing about this is that JG has accomplished nothing yet in his career. Why so many defenders. If Tom Brady or Aaron Rogers had done this, context and frame would matter. We see Eli Manning doing the same in practice and everyone is yikes!
Same for Mahones. That’s the context and perspective this conversation needs.
In business they would say: If that ain’t bad, you got your nose too close to the chalk board.
All by itself, yeah Jack, its pretty bad. But to put things in perspective…………….
Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t you once infer that you played a little?
I would bet my life that you have also had a terrible practice or two–and then came back later and did quite well.
For a snapshot, it was not a good practice for Grapps…want to bet he doesn’t do this again?
“I would bet my life that you have also had a terrible practice or two–“
Of course. Bad practices happen. 5 interceptions on consecutive throws? Never.
Never saw any teammate do that, and never saw it while coaching either.
Beat reporters and Jack Hammer not ever seeing it before doesn’t mean dink. Grant, ask Shanny if he’s ever witnessed it before, and we’ll have a better idea how close we are to DEFCON 1….
“we’ll have a better idea how close we are to DEFCON 1….”
This is stupid. The dude had a really bad stretch at practice. That gets pointed out and the water carriers come running.
What’s stupid is the implication that beat reporter’s and Jack Hammer’s never having seen it before carries significant weight.
Never wrote that it carried any weight at all.
There’s a reporter or two who have been around for a while and if they haven’t seen anything like it before that just shows how irregular of an occurrence it is.
Never wrote that you did, but the implication was clear.
Nah
Question for you, what was the purpose of bringing it up and using it to support your concern?
Razoreater says:
August 14, 2019 at 4:23 pm ….. it’s not the first time it’s happened in practice
That’s the purpose it was brought up.
.
Grant was the first to bring it up, and you reinforced his assertion by adding your own experience. Not only that, you double downed by stating, “There’s a reporter or two who have been around for a while and if they haven’t seen anything like it before that just shows how irregular of an occurrence it is.” for the purpose one can only assume, of adding additional weight to the water carriers….
“Grant was the first to bring it up”
Dude I actually saw it from Branch first.
“you reinforced his assertion by adding your own experience. Not only that, you double downed by stating, “There’s a reporter or two who have been around for a while and if they haven’t seen anything like it before that just shows how irregular of an occurrence it is.”
Right, it’s extremely uncommon for a QB to throw picks on 5 straight throws. If you have a few examples of it actually happening before please share.
“for the purpose one can only assume”
You know what happens when one assumes…
If you have a few examples of it actually happening before please share.
Who am I? Walter Camp?
KS said that he wanted to keep “poking” at the interception problem today, something he wouldn’t do during a game. He probably kept calling plays that put Jimmy in a bad situation because of the rush or perhaps because of how the secondary was playing. He wanted to see how he would do. The time to be uncomfortable is in practice. Learn what your limits are. Having said that Jimmy still has to earn and keep the job. If Mullens surpasses him and it results in wins, then so be it. High level competition is good for all.
Agree.
“KS said that he wanted to keep “poking” at the interception problem today, something he wouldn’t do during a game.”
No kidding. That’s fantastic insight.
That Shanahan challenged Garoppolo in practice is cool. Doesn’t change the fact that Garoppolo failed miserably.
Everybody experiences failure. It’s how you respond to it that matters. Find a psychic and ask Abe. Let’s wait and see how he looks against Fangio on MNF….
“It’s how you respond to it that matters.”
And he responded fine after that stretch.
Wish I had some of you guys around when I have a few bad meetings in a row to explain how it’s not really that bad to my boss. ?
Practice meetings?
“If Mullens surpasses him and it results in wins, then so be it.”
– cubus
If Garoppolo loses his job does he earn the name “Floparopplo?”
I yield my time to Razor on this one ?
“Having said that Jimmy still” threw 5 int’s IN a row, can’t defend that, no way no how, period!!!
Even Brady has thrown 4 picks in an ACTUAL GAME
Come on now.
Saint Brady? Never!! That was just fake TV, like those purported moon landings that were actually filmed on a Hollywood sound stage…
Can’t defend 5 in a row.
Joe Montana threw 3 picks in the famous “Catch” game against Dallas in the playoffs.
Rodgers threw 2 interception on 597 pass attempts during the regular season. 5 interceptions in PRACTICE is embarrassing and not a good sign when one of his biggest areas of improvement this season is to throw less interceptions.
Sounds to me like we’ve found ourselves the FS we’ve been looking for, and that the defense might be able to carry this team until Jimmy works through his rustiness….
Its looking that way, lets see if there is Moore to come.
No.
Jimmy has a couple good excuses built up for him it looks like should he falter early on…rustiness and Garland at center.
Grapposcuse…. oh my
Agree.
Put Grant in the coaches chair? Lol. He’s never coached so much as a kindergarten tiddlywinks team. That’s why he doesn’t understand the concept of PRACTICE! I’ve had future Div 1 shortstops have 5 errors in a row in practice while trying different moves, pushing the envelope, experimenting while also working on improving basic skills, and then go error free and have great games routinely WHEN IT COUNTS! Coach/GM wannabe GC will never, ever understand this. This is why he reports on practice like he’s reporting on a game that counts. There is no difference in his mind. In his defense, he just doesn’t realize the difference because he has zero experience working with athletes in either a practice situation, or other, at any level.
WTF you talkin bout Willis!!!! Grant is the greatest thing since sliced white bread, and the old peeler bar Everybody’s Talkin’ down on Santa Rosa Avenue!!!
It’s over! Oh the humanity………………
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH-mhZLuGRk
Not fair to compare EITHER the 9ers or Grant to the Hindenburg. Period. End.
How about the airships Macon, or Shenandoah? Chernobyl maybe? I was reflecting on the 9ers, NOT Grant.
More appropriate would be Keystone cops!
Doesn’t Washington have a REALLY good OT that may well be available, soon if not now?
LT Trent Williams, for a couple good draft picks…but the Redskins have at least 3 teams pursuing a trade for disgruntled LT Trent Williams according to a JP Finlay report. One of those teams has been identified as the New England Patriots, and Finlay mentioned heavy interest coming from AFC teams. The Texans were mentioned as a potential land spot. Also a report that the Dolphins are also inquiring about picking up a former 7-time Pro Bowl left tackle.
Thanks Phil, yes it was Trent Williams. Good info. I had already guessed that he could be expensive and difficult to land. But something better to improve OL depth seems prudent, with O linemen dropping like flies………….well, maybe “buffalo’s” is a better analogy. I posted a relevant reply above.
Juan four words. Click bait, wanna be.
Two words…PT= loser
Indubitably.
Why come to CA and pay the taxes?
How about that Niner secondary!?
Moore looks like he’ll be starting…if he continues to perform.
Genius.
I draw my mojo through you. You did shower this morning, no?
I sent you plenty of golden mojo this morning in said shower, knowing how much you draw from me.
Classy! Thanks!
They’re going to totally suck. Second to the O-Line this year. You heard it here… HEAR it now!
Please o please, can we hear it every day…’til February? Please?
No.
Ribico
Now we come to the meat of the matter….5 ints…? So what…! I’m jazzed that Jimmy G has to work to find holes in our D-backfield…. I’m sure he’d like to find it a little easier, but there’s two sides to the game. Just think (positively) about all those opposing QBs coming up against the Niner D…Personally, I like it.
Oregon, if JG had completed all those Grant would have put those DBs in the not so good and the board would be flipping out about our continually sucking secondary.
How about we wait until the regular season before burying the Niners? There will be a whole 18 weeks for that.
Quick! Swing out the lifeboats! Jimmy’s goin’ down! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

Hi there Jerry/Mark/Ken/Ray! Welcome to the blog!
Thank you!!!! xoxo
I’m sorry, I’ll try not to troll so much. :)
Who is this teen troll.
Could be ‘ol Darren5000. Maybe not.
Doubt it, he (Darren 5k) only shows up after the 49ers lose – which means he’s been around here a lot over the last few seasons.
I’m a niner fan since the Deberg days. Sorry about the trolling. I’m a dispicable human. I will try to do better.
How about starting by using a regular constant username. Those ones you rotate through are not nearly as humorous as you think they are.
This is what you get when you have reporters (that’s a stretch in this case ) reporting what they think is going on (another stretch) in a practice. Lol
Example: We had a simple exercise for the defense that we would run where the batter, with a runner on first, would hit a grounder to short (something that is practiced routinely), who would throw to the second baseman, who would purposely miss the ball in order to make sure the right fielder was properly in backup position and prepared to field the ball and make the next play, whether it was running the ball into the infield and holding the runners, throwing to third (sometimes in this case having the third baseman purposely missing the throw to see where the left fielder was) if the the runner continued from second, and so on. (Lots of options) The point is, if Coach was reporting on this practice play, and similar to the Niner practice not being privy to what is actually going on, he’d report that the second baseman can’t catch or the shortstop can’t throw, etc. He reports what he sees, practice or game. There is no differential. Water is good.

18 August 2019 will long be remembered in 9er lore as the day Mullens is crowned starting QB and goes on to win nine Super Bowls across a 16 year career. Hall of Fame Nick, GOAT!
9 Super Bowls…..WOW LOL hahahahahah
He just may if Belichek and Lynch do a straight of trade of Brady for Mullens…
Smellacheat won’t live that long. There. You’re welcome for that.
Pissed off because Malcolm Butler ruined your team’s Super Bowl? Or maybe Pete Carroll did, depending on your level of honesty.
I’m not a Seahags fan, you imbecile. LOL You’re the dimmest of bulbs!!!
CFB,
Are you OK brother? Or sister.
Sac Bee…
The first interception came on a deep pass to well-covered tight end Ross Dwelley. The ball bounced off his hands as he dove. It bounced right to safety Jaquiski Tartt. Garoppolo’s decision appeared worse than the throw itself. Linebacker Kwon Alexander was underneath Dwelley in coverage, which forced Garoppolo to throw high and wide. Dwelley’s dive knocked the ball in the air and made it easy for Tartt to snag.
The next pick went to safety Tarvarius Moore while Garoppolo was trying to hit Matt Breida on a wheel route up the right sideline. Garoppolo badly underthrew it and it was easy for Moore to grab.
The third: Garoppolo was looking for Dwelley again, this time on the right sideline, and it was undercut by Richard Sherman, who went the other way for a would-be pick-six. Dwelley was getting first-team work because George Kittle was sitting out for the second straight day with a calf injury. Kyle Shanahan said Kittle was day-to-day.
The last two interceptions came in the red zone, where it appeared defensive lineman Solomon Thomas got the best of rookie tackle Justin Skule, who was working with the starters because Joe Staley was dealing with a sore pectoral, Shanahan said.
Thomas beat Skule quickly and appeared to tap Garoppolo as he ran by for a would-be sack. Garoppolo haphazardly threw the ball toward the left side of the end zone in the direction of Dante Pettis. Only Ahkello Witherspoon was there waiting while there appeared to be a mixup between quarterback and receiver.
Then Thomas beat Skule again and pressured Garoppolo into making an errant throw toward Dwelley in the middle of the field. Moore stepped in front to make his second pick and went the other way for a would-be 100-yard touchdown return. It was a strong practice for Moore, who figures to keep getting work as the starting free safety. Jimmie Ward was back in pads for the first time Wednesday, but isn’t expected to be back in team drills before the second preseason game Monday night.
Immersed in a project meeting, I suddenly sensed a deep disturbance in cyberspace. I am now relieved to discover that the upheaval was just the Niners Faithful on this site being led by Grant in synchronized ritual hyperventilation in reacting to Jimmy G’s INTs in practice. All good…
Mullens is the man..team seems to play better with him…he will be starting again this year at some point…..glad to see the D getting some take aways but damn JimmyG is bound for the unemployment line me thinks.
In Shannies eyes Mullins is still competing with Beathard for the backup QB spot. I would wait to see if Shanny even gives Mullins a fair shot at that position before even considering him as a starter. I like Shanahan as a coach, but all coaches have been known to have blinders on when it comes to certain players.
The Defense led the day with five straight interceptions, finally breaking through the lack of turnover syndrome that has plagued this team last year….it could of read that way, but it didn’t. That’s too much out of the box.
Agree they need take aways…however 5 picks is lame period= JimmyG is making what 29MILLION a year for christsakes…he should be studly and clutch for that money
Perfect Mood, just perfect! +++

Wow why so much hate on Garropolo? Would you like Kaepernick back? Garropolo is the best qb we have had since Jeff Garcia back in 2002, not counting Alex Smith’s great 13-3 year back in 2011. It is practice, its better that Garropolo learns from his mistakes, and corrects them now not until the season starts.
There’s no hate. It’s frustration over a guy who went out, played well… Got a contract… Dated a porn star, and then started his official season at the helm C O L D…. AF. And went on injured reserve.
Garropolo won 5 games, After that on the year 2018, Against the vikings we lost the game stupidly we actually had a shot but had a stupid fumble at the 1 yardline against the vikings and then a stupid pick 6 when the receiver slipped on the route, against the Lions he did well enough for us to win the game, the deffense kind of slept on the 2nd half and then against the chiefs how can you win a game when your defense allows 5 touchdowns on the first 5 possesions? So I mean in the end, Its just practice bro and there is no reason to panic,
Bro. Who’s panicking? Besides maybe Jimmy G? Making excuses for a guy who’s spent more time injured than on the field is not a good look, especially when he gets paid, and doesn’t return on the investment (to this point).
I like Jimmy G, and still have high hopes, but in typical fashion, the 9ers are blowing wads of cash on a largely unproven “franchise” puzzle piece at this piont. Several, actually, when you think about it… So again, it’s frustration, not panic.
Its trainning camp bro, in time nobody will remember what happened in trainning camp except for the injuries that may occur on this drills that may affect moving forward, Jimmy G was injured because of a split second decision against the chiefs when he tried to juke inside and accidentaly stepped akwardly, He learned that and next time he will surely try to make the correct decision and die to live another down, If he can stay healthy, I promess you you will be laughing at your frustration during this time, We have seen how good and dangerous Jimmy G is when he drops back to throw, Trust the process.
Go niners
Bro
Maybe you are of use around here. Can you teach Seb some of those 3 letter responses?
I ‘m not ready to anoint Mullins the starting qb yet. He doesn’t have the magic JG has. JG won 5 straight..Mullens didn’t.
Wut
Jimmy 5 picks is an anomaly. He’s only thrown what two up until this point? I put that on shanny lijen Mullens threw a pick against second stringers of Dallas. You guys seem to forget Mullens is 3-5 and jimmy is 6-2. Mullens played weaker teams and with more weapons than jimmy. Plus had a better defense than jimmy during his 5 game win streak so miss me with the Mullens is the better qb talk. All you Mullens D riders are funny. Jimmy is clearly the better qb.
“Jimmy is clearly the better qb.”
I tend to agree with this, but i’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t concerned. Throwing 5 int’s in a full day of practice isn’t good. Throwing 5 int’s in a row is unheard of and alarming.
Still sticking by my Mullens starting by week 5 theory
SK I agree…..lots of pressure on JimmyG he may crumble
More likely a knee injury. But that works for your narrative too.
Garropolo=10-6 (If he plays the entire season)
Mullens=6-10 (Ditto)
CJ=2-14 (Ditto)
It’s that simple.
Quit worrying about reports from practice. It’s practice. Furthermore, your getting reports from someone who is “rooting for a tumor” (-George C., Seinfeld)

Why don’t you just get on the knee pads… JEEEEEEEEZ
Jerry/Mark/Ken/Ray/Colin…. You are sooooo cute. Be sure to put your Legos away before you go night night. Tomorrow it’s your turn to clean the litter box.
Was that Skule in the fetal position, whimpering, “Someone please help me!”?
Skule got schooled….
Skewered!

NICK MULLENS
3-5
Interesting.
.
I wonder if some of the previous practices were ‘Scripted’, with JG being allowed to complete passes to build up his confidence, and calm concerns about the offense.
.
Now that they have to go to the Broncos. it is a level playing field. KS wants to see how the defense, or the offense, is performing.
.
It might even be the case that the Niners want to bolster the DB’s confidence, since they managed a historically low 2 picks last season. Also, JG can manage the dump off passes, but maybe he was working on his down field passes. KS specifically dialed up some down field throws, with less than satisfactory results.
.
However, it might also be the result of Joe Woods being light years better than Hafley. I wonder if Kocurek and his pass rush is adding so much pressure against a makeshift O line.
.
5 picks? maybe it is an anomaly, but maybe they need to get back to the JG play that he demonstrated during the 5 game winning streak. Maybe they are over complicating the reads, and there is a sensory overload. JG did well before, overcoming the coaching by throwing into triple coverage, and completing passes.
.
However, last season, JG held onto the ball too long, and was sacked 6 times in the Lions game. He was tentative even back then. It may not be only the coaches fault, but it is the coach’s job to fix the problem.
.
Maybe they miss Scangarello more than they realize.
Or maybe that five game streak was a fluke. Sometimes everything just seems to work or come together for a player for a limited time. We will not know until he actually gets to play again.
Maybe the coaches should replicate the play calling and schemes during that 5 game win streak. Let JG be the field general, and let him express his natural abilities. JG played smoothly, with little analyzing, so he did not hesitate, even though he was throwing to third string players like Louis Murphy. Throwing into triple coverage, and completing passes, was very impressive.
.
Maybe simplifying the playbook would allow JG to be more efficient, with crisp, effective execution. When allowed to overcome the coaching, he shined.
.
The coach’s job is to put him in the best situations to succeed. They should accentuate his strengths, and disguise his weaknesses.
.
I also wonder how the DBs will perform, when stacked up against Flacco, Hogan and Lock.
seb says’Maybe simplifying the playbook would allow JG to be more efficient, with crisp, effective execution. When allowed to overcome the coaching, he shined.
JimmyG is making 20Million a year and you want coach to simplify??? You are a special kind of homer
If coach simplifies the playbook for JimmyG and not Mullens or CJ it sends a poor message to the team….very bad……Coach needs to be tough and expect excellence and accountability
Frisco Kid, I want them to replicate the playbook and scheme that allowed JG to win 5 games in a row.
.
You just want to diss JG, and let him fail.
JG looked good in ’17………In ’18 he looked tentative and held the ball too long looking at 1 reciever AND got sacked a lot AND then blows out his knee…. In ’19 JG may be rusty, looks so-so and now throws 5 int’s IN A ROW!!!! [no excuses for that, not even rusty can be used] AND looks like he’s sliding, not advancing…….and Mullens is in the background.
Mullens hasn’t won as much but seems to get better, getting more exp, takes command plus he reads 3 recievers quickly AND doesn’t throw all those picks….Is there a qb controversy, probably not now, still early in ’19[plus JG huge contract] but I think they’re about neck and neck . If JG is flat and not doing good the first half of this season, maybe Mullens steps in.
Seb, word is KS directed Jimmy to throw the picks to boost the confidence of the defense. Your right, it was scripted.
More likely, they wanted to see how Dwelley does with contested passes. Too bad he regressed.
.
Hmmm, maybe if they coached JG to face one way, while looking in another direction, JG would not have stared down his receivers. ;p
You may be right. Maybe they are doing a good job- feigning weakness.
To take one’s mind off the 5 INT series, I strongly recommend listening to this awesome interview with Jim Washburn on KNBR.
https://omny.fm/shows/papa-lund-podcast/8-8-jim-washburn-creator-of-the-wide-9-gives-the-p
“Rush, Crush and Close” should be the new Niners D’s mantra — orchestrated by Washburn’s own “racoon on meth”! Hilarious description of the opposing TE soiling his shorts swiveling his head between between Armstead and Bosa. Half-way thru listening this podcast, you’ll be in 3 or 4 point stance!
Good material!
The Mullens love has gone crazy on here.
The reality is if Jimmy G. Isn’t the answer the 49ers are in real trouble.
Mullens is an overachiever, that’s a great story. He has a quick trigger but his arm limits his routes allowing the Defense to sit on certain routes. For all this talk about how much smarter he is… his td to int ratio isn’t exactly amazing 13 to 10. He’s a nice backup but if he becomes the starter, SF will be looking to replace him.
“The reality is if Jimmy G. Isn’t the answer the 49ers are in real trouble.”
THAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER. Mullens is a very good career backup.
JimmyG is another backup…was before the trade duh…..except he is paid 20Million a year now and has never achieved anything and never completed a regular season hello hello
Five INTs in a practice is bad, no other way to look at it. On consecutive throws makes it an even more amazing story but whether they were consecutive or spread throughout the day, five in a day is very bad. However, it is practice. Now is the time to be testing yourself to see what works and what doesn’t, what you need to do better.
Sounds like the connection with Dwelley was the most off, which isn’t surprising as he hasn’t worked that much with him as the #1 TE.
There’s no way to sugar coat 5 ints in a row. It doesn’t matter if he’s working on something or not.
It would be different if some were at least good throws that were tipped or something.
That said, I’m going to chalk this up to a case of the yips at this point.
No, there isn’t, but there is also no need to panic about it happening in practice either. It can be both awful and not a major concern. If throwing lots of INTs becomes the norm then sure, worry.
+1
Yep. That’s pretty much what I said yesterday. I’ll repeat it for Jack’s benefit.
“This is just a practice with no consequences; it’s a chance to test all kinds of boundaries and limits including those that exist in the mind. If this happened during a game, it would be a much greater cause for concern.”
Cubus,
“It can be both awful and not a major concern.”
What Scooter wrote there is exactly how I have felt about this.
And my response to “This is just a practice with no consequences; it’s a chance to test all kinds of boundaries and limits including those that exist in the mind. If this happened during a game, it would be a much greater cause for concern.” is ….. no kidding. That’s some fantastic insight right there.
Garoppolo started the day fine and finished it fine with an awful 5 play stretch in the middle.
If you or anyone else thinks that statement is an overreaction I can’t help ya.
Hey Jackaroo.
You’re the one that responded to that post with:
“Put the water down.”
Try to keep up and remember what you post.
Yes, I’m fully aware of what I’ve written. Thank you for trying to bring balance to the universe.
Don’t know if there’s been an uptick in training camp scuffles across the league, but they haven’t gone away by any stretch. A few have made headlines this week (Bears, Raiders, Eagles), including a dust-up at a joint Browns/Colts practice. Words from Ron Rivera…
https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article233778177.html
Looking forward to spirited practices in Denver… Perhaps Mullens will clock Von Miller, thereby solidifying his standing as the no-nonsense leader of the 9ers.
I like Rivera’s clear messaging.
Way to Go Grant. You gave Hammer an orgasm.
What better time than now to argue about the top 100 players in 9er history. I’d expect Nick to be somewhere in the teens. Here we go…
https://ninerswire.usatoday.com/2019/08/10/nfl-100-best-players-in-san-francisco-49ers-history/amp/
Anyone interested in developing a list of the 100 worst in modern 9ers history — >1969? Minimum criteria–must have been on a regular season roster for at least five consecutive weeks, must have some notoriety for being really bad and/or failing to meet over-the-top expectations, cannot be a current active player.
A start (1=the worst):
3 – Jim Druckenmiller.
I’ll see your Druckenmiller and raise you a package (a nod to Seb) of AJ Jenkins and Kentwan Balmer. Hollywood Henderson a top 5, also a reminder that Walsh was human.
And Lawrence Phillips. Doug DuBose would be in the low 20s I’d think.
Drunken miller actually played in 6 games.
.
Giovanni Carmazzi never threw a pass.
There has to be some sort of weighting algorithm that determines the awfulness of 3rd round picks that never saw action vs 1st round picks that flamed out after a mere 6 games. Any quants here?
Wouldn’t take too much to develop the algorithms to extract information from a database of post-1969 9er players. Not only extract, but produce web-based interactive displays to allow for better visualization of the info.
A spin-off would be to rank the legions of 9er beat writers. Core data would include: readership (broadly defined), compensation, awards, being right/wrong with conclusions and predictions, grammar/spelling, admitting errors/refusing to admit errors, etc.
Those are some Kaepernick in Chicago type numbers.
Soloman Thomas
Aj Jenkins
Kwame Harris
Jim Drunkenmiller
Kentwan Balmer
I wouldn’t read too much into the picks. Everyone has bad days. The bigger issue is that WE STILL don’t know who Garappolo is. By the third game, we should. If he is not the franchise QB the 49ers envisioned, they could cut him. Shanahan and/or Lynch will likely be gone as well. Can’t whiff on a 130M QB. Then what? Cousins? Doubtful, but depends on how he plays for the Vikings (as to whether he would be available). He’s a 2nd tier franchise QB as best. Stopgap.
That puts us squarely in the top 10 of the 2020 NFL Draft, and a number of excellent prospects coming out. Sadly, we would be back in rebuild mode, so a lot is riding on Garappolo being the real deal.

Hot start here for the Patriots’ DBs. They’ve already picked off Tom Brady four times, including back-to-back INTs in 7-on-7s.
7:26 AM – 12 Aug 2019
The interesting part of what happened yesterday wasn’t that Garoppolo threw 5 picks. It was that he threw 5 picks on consecutive plays.
Hit us back when that gets reported.
Ummm… aren’t you commenting in a thread where that was reported?
It’s just practice.
Whooo boy, mood. If this were a real game………
You need to work on your reading skills my man. Brady threw 4 picks total, not on consecutive throws.
You’re loving this, aren’t you Jack?
Loving what? Watching you guys stumble all over yourselves to defend it? It’s good comedy.
Loving that Garoppolo threw picks on 5 consecutive plays? No.
Here’s the deal with me, and you should know this having been around here for a while, if a guy is playing well I’ll say so and if a guy is playing bad I’ll say so.
5 picks on 5 consecutive throws is bad, practice or not. If you don’t agree, that’s cool.
Show me someone who’s said it’s good. No one is defending it, though people are rightly pushing back against this practice pratfall somehow being framed as a career ending blunder.
Who’s saying it’s career ending?
Read between these stupid lines Hammer, some of them yours.
It’s Josh Johnson and Troy Smith all over again with this bunch. SMH.
I will only address mine,
“If Garoppolo is a train wreck this year the 49ers can save $22+ mill if they move on.”
This was a simple salary observation. We don’t know what Garoppolo is for sure, and the 49ers structured his contract in such a way that they can easily move on if he sucks.
“Bad practices happen. 5 interceptions on consecutive throws? Never. Never saw any teammate do that, and never saw it while coaching either.”
Where does that say it’s career ending? It’s a simple statement. It’s a bad practice, and something I’ve never seen or heard of before.
Don’t get cute, Hammer. The implication being….?
“The implication being….?”
Garoppolo did something that I’ve never seen or heard of before, and most other folks as well.
And you are prepared to let it go at that, aren’t you?
Hey Jack:
In the words of Aaron Rodgers R-E-L-A-X. ??

Bro, I keep repeating myself to you and others who try to read more into my take.
Cubesteak, I’m calmer than an untouched lake on a summer morning.

The only implication is that all this side mouth talking by Hammer is that he also is a faccia di cazzo!
Where are you sitting for the Browns game?
I told you right up your a$$.
The King has spoken:
https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/49ers-are-playoff-team-if-jimmy-garoppolo-plays-16-games-peter-king-says
“they should win 10”
Cool. That’s 1 less than I wrote.
Same but I predicted 11-6 before you did. As we speak, I’m tuned into the Bengals game. I will report back on this blog in case John needs some intel.?
“Same but I predicted 11-6 before you did.”
When did they expand the schedule to 17 games? ?
You know what I meant.
First week into the playoffs duh!
Of course I did Razor. Hence the ?
That was an edit and you know it!
Being on consecutive throws makes for a great headline, but I think people are getting too wrapped up in that. To me it says two things (1) he got flustered and (2) he didn’t go into his shell when flustered. The second part is actually a positive. In a game you have to wait to get the ball back so you have time to calm down and get a cool head back.
Tbh I would be more worried if they were smattered throughout practice.
(3)He worked his way through to finish on the other side.
Scooter,
I’ve been a football fan for nearly 60 yrs and have never heard of QB throwing 5 consecutive int’s. This not even happening to a 3rd or 4th string QB In practice.
I could understand if the int’s came by way of Shanahan focusing on one particular pass play that he wanted Jimmy to work on, but that wasn’t the case. Sure, this was practice and it doesn’t count against regular season play, but there is one important thing to consider in all this.
1. Could this horrific practice damage JG’ psyche and confidence going forward. Jimmy could have issues when drops back to pass being fearful of throwing down field when it counts.
If Garoppolo can play on Monday night, (imo) its imperative for Shanahan to play him for a least the first quarter. This allows Jimmy an opportunity to hopefully have a good game to help him forget Weds miserable practice and move forward.
Jimmy’ honeymoon period is very close to being over and we need to see what he’s really made of.
If I’m Shanny, I pull Jimmy if his opening drive is lengthy and results in a TD. Otherwise, the 1st quarter is all he would get from me too….
“Could this horrific practice damage JG’ psyche and confidence going forward.”
Considering how Garoppolo went 7-11 after that stretch I’d say the answer to that question is, No.
Pretty much.
Besides, if throwing INTs in practice is going to damage his psyche he has no business being a starting QB, so better to find out now anyway.
“Besides, if throwing INTs in practice is going to damage his psyche he has no business being a starting QB, so better to find out now anyway.”
Yup, that’s my contention.
I’d like to see him get a quarter worth of play on Monday, but I would agree with Razor that if he has a good opening series that results in a TD he should be shut down.
But as far as the psyche question, I doubt that he would ever believe he’d throw 5 straight int’s. If he’s not rattled by that than let’s go! But if he is, than you’re right, “better to find out now anyway.”
AES, sometimes a player learns more from failure, than he learns from success.
.
JG learned that overthrowing the ball can lead to a pick.
JG learned that under throwing the ball can lead to a pick.
JG learned that he needs to look off the safety.
JG learned that Pettis may not fight for the ball.
JG learned most importantly, that Dwelley does not catch the ball as well as Kittle.
THE DEFENSE FINALLY BREAKS THROUGH WITH FIVE INTERCEPTIONS IN A ROW.
Yes, its true, the defense overcame the adversity of having KS as a HC and singed the offense and Jimmy G with five interceptions. Its been a long time coming for the defense which is known for no pass rush, cant tackle, and the DB’s are the worst ever. The defense who had two interceptions all of last year rose mightily and stole the ball from this high octane offense not once not twice but five times in a row. Some might lament that Jimmy G had a bad day, I choose to say that the defense played lights out and had a ‘top five’ moment in practice. Practice you say…..
Half empty, no half full!
Seb I consider myself as an experienced optimist. In other words everything is great till it isn’t.
UC, considering the Niners are undefeated with a perfect win loss record, my cup is overflowing with optimism. ;p
.
And they did it without JG throwing a pass.
And they did all that with no Ford or Bosa!
Lol, ah just a little fact that I failed to mention. (Forgot really).
Now the entire D line is bringing it on, playing like raccoons on meth….
Throwing 5 INTs in a row in practice is ridiculous. What is more ridiculous and worse is fans dissecting it endlessly.
Meh. Don’t see much dissecting going on. Just people trying to justify a bad stretch of practice.
And when you write, “Throwing 5 INTs in a row in practice is ridiculous” you are right.
Meaningless…
Truly…
I just find that when practicing against one another, one is going to look good while the other is bad. Two sides of a story with the same facts. I don’t get worked up about anything in practice or pre-season other then maybe injuries and perhaps the reports coming out of Denver this week. It seems as though some have forgotten that they are practicing against each other and if people cant figure out the implications and the lack of importance of stats coming out of practice…that’s on them and perhaps you, I don’t know. I find it funny when people don’t recognize the opponent in practice.
UC,
It’s also worth noting that (believe Jack mentioned earlier) Buckner and Dee Ford wasn’t on the field.
So either, we suddenly have a great defense or Jimmy isn’t ready to play.
I’d like to see JG get a quarter of play on Monday night to get a good gauge of where he’s at after yesterday’s crash and burn.
AES – I was just having a little fun as every article headline remarked on the interceptions. I thought I would take a different path. For months now just about everyone has blasted Shanny and Lynch for not shoring up a weak DB and when it was their time to shine…. As far as Jimmy G is concerned I go back to those first three games last year, they created more questions then answers. I don’t need any 5 interceptions in a row against their very own defense to raise any more questions, I already had them.
UC,
Jimmy GQ seems to be losing his luster around here of late. He will need to have a very good comeback practice in Denver in my humble opinion.
I’ve been on the front line of Jimmy’ defense dating back to last year, but 5 picks in a row can be impossible to defend.

It really is hilarious that 49ers fans are freaking out about five Jimmy G practice interceptions the same day Tom Brady threw four.

@Mr_KevinJones
People judging Jimmy G over one bad practice need to take a break from Twitter. Let the dude make some mistakes in practice. He’s got the skill set to be a franchise QB. Understand there will be growing pains this season
8:46 PM – Aug 14, 2019
Come on, Dylan. Brady didn’t throw those consecutively. Can’t you see the huge difference, dude? Only thing worse than a homer is a blind homer.

Ha!
ONE? This is hardly his first bad practice.

They must be drinking the cool aid…..what do you honestly think TomD?
I’m just waiting for reg. season.
That knuckle-curve that gets worked on in pre-season and gets hammered for homer, gets shelved in the regular season….
If JG was a rook, I’d be worried, but what was he, 6-0 as a starter for the Niners with a substandard O-Line before the injury???
NO Tom Jimmy was 1=2 with a 3 pick game complete with pick sixes…..before the injury

Great article about why Frank Gore will play another 3 years probably. What a warrior.
https://www.theringer.com/nfl-preview/2019/8/15/20806627/frank-gore-buffalo-bill-miami-hurricanes-forever-football
Since McKinnon is side lined, the Niners should trade or swap for Gore. Mostert plus a 5th round pick for Gore, would be a fair trade.
wow what a general manager you would make
I just think Frank Gore would help them win games. Guess that is not important to you.
Correction:
YOU are not important to us.
Fixed it.
To even consider my importance, you just gave yourself away.
.
I am glad I am dominating your thoughts.
Another classic Seb, assuming the put down is an indication of obsession with him.
Thanks for proving me right. Your obsession with me is all too apparent, with your haunting of my posts. You do not think I am important, but I am so important, you have to post about my importance.
.
I am dominating your thoughts. Weak minded individuals cannot help themselves.
.
I think Frank Gore can help the Niners win. You, being so obdurate, think Frank Gore cannot help them win, just to oppose me.
Insert self punch to the face!
Seb, I feel like I’m watching Dinner For Schmucks II. It’s yet to be determined whose playing the role of Barry, and whose playing the role of Thurman….
Thurman ===> Trump.
I’m concerned that Sebbie may be having a medical event. Someone could call Sebastopol 911, but with his exact whereabouts unkown, it wouldn’t be a good idea.
Sebbie, if you’re reading this, get to an ER as quickly as you can. Best wishes from all of us!
Cassie, heal thyself.
PT, go see Jack about that.
Who is dominating whose thoughts Sebbie? You responded to me so that must mean I and Cassie haunt your very thoughts as you vainly seek to claim victory where there is none (another classic Sebbism) and must always get the last word with some kind of warning or rebuke.

Classic Seb!
Justifying an argument by saying “I guess winning is not important to you!”

“I’m a retired investor, living on a pension….”

You are sounding like Donald more every day. Are you sure you are not from the Panhandle?

Maybe you need to ask your shrink about your fantasies about gratuitous violence.

You are as sick and twisted as TrollD.
Dude, chill. It’s not the knock off but Roths whiny “I’m just a so and so….” that has you pegged. No, no one wants to assassinate you, so can the self importance.
Btw, speaking of you know who, so you also think made up violence (in his case video games, in your case cinema) has any relevance to real life violence?
No, Donald, it is your words that incite violence.
.
Then you say you were just joking about it, downplaying its significance.
I’m not joking about anything, I’m saying it went over the head of (in the words of our illustrious former sec of state) a f-ing moron. Yes, thats you.
Oh Donald, degenerating into name calling?
.
You sure like to dish it, but sure cannot take it.
More irony that woooooooooooooshes right over your head.
And name calling? No, quoting a former high US govt official who knew a little bit about his target. Just as we do about you.
You haven’t answered. Do oyu believe violence portrayed in motion pictures have any bearing on real life violence? What about video games? How about watching football?
Glad i have renamed you, and you are actually using that name.
.
Donald, please try harder. Answer your own questions before expecting a response from me.
Put the bong down.
Frank Gore would be able to run inside. If they have only Breida, Coleman and Mostert, defenses will employ the Wide 9 to stop the OZ runs.
.
The Niners need to be multi dimensional. Frank Gore can also catch passes, and he would automatically be the best pass blocking RB on the team.
Sigh……….
No Sebbie. No. He ain’t comin’ back. Unless Jed brings Hayne, Skov, Chip and Tomsula back, then all bets are off….
Ravens traded Alex Lewis G to the Jets for a 7th round pick.
.
Texans waived D’onta Foreman, not realizing he would then sign with the Colts, a division rival. They should have traded DF away to a team of their choice, so now they would not have to face him twice this season, after he spills his guts on the Texan playbook. Imagine the intel he can divulge on player assessments, pointing out strengths, weaknesses and tendencies.
.
Kaare Vedvik was traded for a 5th round pick.
.
Browns traded Duke Johnson for a conditional 4th round pick, so it just proves that clever, astute thinking is possible when it comes to conditional trades. They are not impossible. Many consider that a win/win deal.
.
Buffalo swapped Eli Harold DE for Ryan Bates OT, demonstrating that teams can fill weaknesses by trading away excess players.
.
Trades, swaps and conditional picks are possible, if a team can find a willing partner, and the football acumen to pull it off. With attrition, many teams are incurring glaring needs.
.
Frank Gore would fill a need for a Inside Zone RB. His veteran leadership would also be an asset.
.
Frank Gore bleeds red and gold. Maybe Denise needs to put her foot down again and order them to make it happen.
Another classic Seb…non sequitor illustrations that have nothing to do with his or anyone else’s argument…but they do get you closer to próxima centauri!
You’ve been repeating your cliche-laden Gore argument for a couple years now. You must feel the 9ers are dolts for not seeing things the way you do. Lynch, Shanahan, and the Yorks just don’t wanna win, right? Heck, you judge all who don’t see things your way–and don’t advocate as you do–as ignorant idiots.
Gore returns to the 9ers on a ‘one-day’ retirement contract–if that. And that’s it.
Seb = <0
Easy, posters are claiming that trades and swaps are impossible. I just listed examples to prove them wrong.
.
Maybe you are mad that I just destroyed their argument.
.
I advocated that they should sign a big back, so he can run inside. Sure am glad they took my advice and signed 220 lbs Brandon Wilds. Then when I mentioned their signing of Wilds, some dismissed him as camp fodder. Brandon Wilds came off the street. suited up and played with very little study of the playbook. That playbook is so complicated, some think that JG still has not mastered it after a season and a half. Still, Brandon Wilds ran hard, converted first downs, and even had a 15 yard run up the middle.
.
Nice to see you get your panties in a twist, every time I am proven right. Did I say that a Gore trade is imminent? No. I just said that I think Frank Gore can help them win. You, on the other hand, do not think he could help the Niners win. Why do you hate Frank Gore so much? .
.
I think the Niners should acquire HOF talent. Guess you do not think it is necessary.
As Reynoldo lit the votive candle at the grotto for San Jose de los Platanos and prayed for the healthy delivery of his first child, he heard a disembodied voice say, “Your daughter will be 17 inches long,” to which Reynoldo replied, “Do you know the weight, too, San Jose?” [BLF]
Cassie- ‘Dolt, ignorant idiot’.
.
Glad you define yourself.
I love Gore, and I posted the article because of that love. But no, the Niners should not bring him back other than in 3 years, when he signs a 1 day contract to retire as a Niner.
Followed by a position in the front office as a scout.

Sorry, Kyle Shanahan. No music at joint practices tomorrow and Saturday. “Absolutely not,” Fangio said.
KS just allowed himself to be smacked down. Just another unforced error made by a young and inexperienced HC. He should have realized that Fangio would not allow music, and had been more circumspect and diplomatic.
.
He did not need to voice his preference that they have music. KS should have noted that music most likely would not be allowed, and surmise about the possibility that it might help them hear the coaches better. He should speculate on the efficacy of quieter practices, and wonder if the music is a distraction. Now he has an opportunity to see how quieter practices may help coach and prepare the players better, or if it makes much of a difference.
Lose your binky?
I found a Baalke binky, covered in slime……
I felt that Shanahan’ response was tongue and cheek regarding the music.
Every head coach more than likely knows that
the home team runs their practices the way they choose. Visiting teams don’t ask for special preferences.
++
AES, he should not have even gone there. Even I could have told him, there would not be music.
.
Another self inflicted wound.
.
KS should not lead with his chin.
Seb,
I respect your opinion, but I found it to be “no harm, no foul.”
Fangio probably got a chuckle from Shanahan’ comment.
AES, I fully acknowledge that it is no big deal. Maybe KS will see that music is not necessary for the practices, and discontinue the DJs.
Sebnnoying, do some research for once. Find out how many teams around the NFL use music for practice.
Point is, before you pop off like an old crusty fart who has zero clue about the NFL, form an opinion maybe with a little bit of facts you DA!
Fangio is serious about winning.
.
He is not allowing muzak. Guess you think he is a DA, too.
.
Niners were a 4-12 team, and need to use every second of practice time to practice football, not work on dance moves.
.
Why does he want no muzak? So his coaches can be heard. Guess you think that coaching is not important to the game.
,
Good ol’ Primo Lame-o. Talks tough, but turtles when challenged. He also welches on bets.
“Why does he want no muzak? So his coaches can be heard. Guess you think that coaching is not important to the game.”
When he worked with Harbaugh in SF they played music at practice and those teams won a lot.
They did not win it all. Maybe with more concentration on the coaching, they might have achieved greatness.
Seb,
SHUT UP!!!!!!

There is currently music playing at the #Broncos #49ers joint practice.
Seb, you’ve got ‘splainin’ to do!
Sounds like Fangio has changed his mind.
.
Your beef is with him. He is the one who said- ‘absolutely not.’
But just like the little puppet you are and having the opportunity to slight Shanny, you bark.
Dance for us Geppetto!
Seb, you shot yourself in the foot on that one. Just own it and write Shanny an apology. I’ll see to it that Lynch makes him aware of your post….
Ooooh, Shanny stared down the big bad Fangio? Cue this music:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1PfrmCGFnk
(trigger warning Seb, the above contains gratuitous violence of a cinematic nature)
Naw, the Broncos held their practice 2 hours earlier. Bet there was no muzak then.
.
Niners practiced, and they had muzak. Wonder what will happen when they have the joint practices.
This version is pretty classy….
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enuOArEfqGo
MPAA rated for Sebbie. No violence. Unless you count the beating on drumheads.
Sounds like Fangio has changed his mind.
By your logic shouldn’t you be saying he cowed to Shanahan?
And you should change “another self inflicted wound” to “a victory” for Shanahan
This is all tongue and cheek as neither Fangio or Kyle can gain a “victory” in the preseason.
Shoup, I just watched a couple clips of the Broncos on the field. No muzak.
.
What gives? Maybe KS is not pushing around Fangio.
Sleb
* “Sounds like Fangio has changed his mind.”
* Don’t you wish you had a mind to change?
The Cardinals defense looks like it’s got some ruffled feathers we can pluck.
Raiders are pushing them around.
Kyler looks human…
Kingsbury’s offense will be dominated by our front. You can’t protect with 5 wr formations. I expect he’ll be out of the league in nippy fashion….
For SF Jimmy has thrown 1.5 TD’s for each interception. This is a QB that needs to be demonstrating that he’s addressed and improved in this area. 5 straight interceptions in any setting is a red flag for Jimmy G.
I love how people are trying to interject that Brady and Rodgers had bad days at practice too. Because we’re now comparing Grappolo to a for sure first ballot HoF player and one that has the potential to be the same? Wow.
I just had a guy try and tell me that, “It’s practice. It’s meaningless. ?!?! Players lose their position and often their job in the NFL because of how they perform in practice. Practice is where players prove they belong in the positions they’re in.
It’s reaching asinine levels to which people are reaching to make excuses for Garappolo.
Okay, you’re coach for a day. Make a decision? And that would be…?
Just askin’….
Hire Toub as HC and Ballard as GM. That’s the only way out of this mess.
But Grant wants Jeff Brohm……….or did.
“For SF Jimmy has thrown 1.5 TD’s for each interception.”
Among active QB’s with 1500 attempts that would rank 22nd, above only guys like Schaub, Bortles, Fitzpatrick, Derek Anderson and Henne.
To be fair, Garoppolo overall is at 2.13 which bumps him up significantly. If he stays healthy, this season will give us a better idea of what he is.
How does a QB, who you don’t know what he is, wins 11 games?
Garoppolo hasn’t 11 games. Hell, he hasn’t even started 11 games.
*hasn’t won 11 games*
Sorry. Was laughing too hard.
You are laughing at your own prediction then? Hammer, you give us no choice but to take you as seriously as you take yourself.
My guess is the next take he will have is Mullen’s is the guy.
Regardless, at the end of the day all the Niners have to do is win games.
All this other stuff is just a jerk off by the naysayers.
Inside the 49ers
“The site for Niner fans who hate the Niners.”
The site for Niners fans who hate the Niners losing
There fixed it for you.
No, I doubt that. Those kinds of Niner fans will always find fault with something, even in winning. Or did you miss the “Smither” vs “Hater” wars a few years back?
Rib eventually those fans,”fandom”will die off.
Wether the Niners win zero games this year or 10,11, 12, I’ll always be the fan that backs them.
Where I’m from, that’s a fan, not a hypercritical jerk off complaining about INT’s or music in practice.
PT, please learn to spell.
“You are laughing at your own prediction then?”
No. Perhaps I misunderstood where the “How does a QB, who you don’t know what he is, wins 11 games?” question, by thinking it was asking how he’d already done that.
“The site for Niner fans who hate the Niners.”
Yeah, whatever. The only people that come on here and hate the 49ers are the pop up trolls that are easy to identify.
Thanks for identifying Seb and yourself as the 2 biggest d bag trolls on the site!
And right on cue:
Normally I’d say that was an attempt at humor, excepting Seb is the least humorous poster here.
Ribico, I was around for the Smither wars. Don’t think they are the same. But whatever.
Of course the spelling troll shows up, to try to bolster his credentials…
Sour, the most exciting winning Niners season in many a moon – 2011- we still had people, regulars here, complaining about captain checkdown, lucky sperm jed, too soft vernon davis, on and on…. I’m saying complainers are going to complain, no matter the W-L success of the team. Any success this season will be no different.
Easy, it just blunts his snark to be shown as an illiterate.
.
You, on the other hand, cannot string 2 sentences into a coherent argument, so I guess there is no hope for you.
“we still had people, regulars here, complaining about captain checkdown”
Most, if not all, of those folks left the blog when Smith left the 49ers because that was the sole meaning of their existence on here.
Will there always be something to be critical of? Of course. But I think it’s important to understand the source.
And replaced by others, not trolls but regulars, with the same mindset (not naming names here, I don’t have to). If and when the Niners start winning again, watch this space. We’ll have 300 post pages about how the Niners:
Only beat a team they where supposed to beat
Didn’t beat a much inferior team by as much as they should have
“Sure they won, but did you see how (insert name) sucked on the field?”
That was a meaningless win because (pick them): “they are playing out the string” “They already have postseason position sewn up”
“Coach X is an idiot, they should have sat (player Y), now he’s lost for the postseason.
Wait. It’ll be like clockwork.
“We’ll have 300 post pages about how the Niners:”
Yeah, there’ll be a wide variety of comments. Some positive, some negative, some with constructive criticism/analysis. All things that make this blog one of the best with regards to interaction.
Not everything is black and white. There’s like 50 shades of grey or something.
It’s no secret I wasn’t a fan of Smith’ game.
Let him have it when he sucked, turned away from all of the excuses the “Smithers” like onelame had for him, called his replacement, but gave him giants props for his one fantastic game vs NO.
It stopped being about Alex Smith at some point and all about hatred of the other person.
If those Harbaugh teams had a QB who could utilize the whole field. We would be talking chips.
Not to say it was all Smiths fault, the Super Bowl loss was squarely on the defense that game.
It was a fierce divide on this site, and someone was so hurt they were removed 3 times over old blue eyes, and two more vanished when Smith did.
Good times….. through winning seasons. ??
Grant…
Please open a poll. Subject would be Jimmy G’s immediate fate: 1) move on to next preseason game as starter, 2) declare that he’s now 2nd string, 3) 3rd string, 4) 4th string, 5) seek a trade immediately, 6) release immediately.
You get the idea. Let’s learn what your blog’s community really feels.
Thanks in advance.

The Arizona Cardinals look like a disaster.
I concur.
We said that last season, and they swept the Niners.
.
However, the Raiders may have given the Niners a blueprint on defending against Murray. Blitz a DB, who is fast enough to catch Murray.
And, that blitzing DB should sing very loudly as he closes in, further confusing blockers, and ultimately Murray.
Wonder if any Cardinals were wasting time applying eye black when they could have been studying their playbooks/tablets? Yeah, that 15 seconds of application cost Arizona 15 seconds of critical preparation. Fangio needs to hammer down!
As Fangio preps to meet the 9ers…
Yup, and the Cards showed why they should concentrate more on studying the playbook than applying make up.
.
They are just fooling themselves, thinking it makes them play better.
Looking forward to the Cardinals having a very difficult year…
Arizona tibia issue…
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001041831/article/cards-robert-alford-tibia-could-miss-half-of-season
Just like we said not go crazy over Jimmys 5 straight picks, we shouldn’t over value Arizona’s dismal performance.
Preseason games mean next to nothing. Coaches are not coaching to win, they are coaching to evaluate players. The playbook is watered down to essentially the original techmo bowl.
Couple that with established starters sitting, or just trying not to get hurt and officials working on new rule enforcements and it’s next to impossible to evaluate how good a team is.
This is especially true of teams that are changing their coaching staff. I expect AZ to be bad, but I wouldn’t use preseason to for my reasoning.
Glad you pointed that out Shoup. I found it ironic that some of the very people who were saying it was merely practice the other day were the same who were talking about how bad Arizona looked. Most of the people playing will be doing something else in September.

On November 28, 2017, Garoppolo was named the starter for the 49ers’ Week 13 game.
Making his first start for the 49ers vs Bears on December 3, 2017, Garoppolo finished with 293 passing yards and an interception as the 49ers won 15–14.[42]
He recorded 334 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a 26–16 victory over the Houston Texans in week 14.
In the next game against the Tennessee Titans, he had a season-high 381 passing yards and a touchdown in a close 25–23 win.[44] In Week 16 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, he had 242 passing yards, two touchdowns, one interception, and his first career rushing touchdown in the 44–33 victory.[45].
In the regular season finale against the Los Angeles Rams, who were resting most defensive starters to prepare for the playoffs, he accumulated 292 passing yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in the 34–13 blowout.[46] His victories in Weeks 13–17 gave him a 7–0 record in his first seven starts (including his two starts for New England), making him the first quarterback to do so since Ben Roethlisberger accomplished the same feat in 2004.[47] With Garoppolo under center, the 49ers scored on 62 percent of their offensive drives, 11 percent more than the second-place New England Patriots.
For perspective, NFL teams scored on 35 percent of their drives in 2017

49ers Draft Class Set to Elevate Franchise
By Levin T. Black @DaSportsBum
Aug 12, 2019 at 6:00 AM • 4
Something truly special may be brewing for the San Francisco 49ers. The 2019 draft class shined in the first preseason game on Saturday.
1. Let’s start with a quick note on the team’s first overall pick Nick Bosa,
2. Deebo Samuel gets behind his man and could have scored with a better thrown ball.
3. Jalen Hurd, is the talk of the game:

4. In the first preseason game 49ers fourth- and fifth-round selections impressed as well. Punter Mitch Wishnowsky showed why the 49ers took a punter so early. He had three of six punts downed inside the opponent’s 20, averaged 49.5 yards per punt and boomed one 64 yards. The 49ers may just have the league’s best punter.

Jason B. Hirschhorn @by_JBH 15m
A fourth-round pick is probably more than the backup is worth to the Packers, but the cost wouldn’t be so high if the 49ers only want to keep two QBs on the roster. Could be a player-for-player swap like last year’s Lenzy Pipkins-Antonio Morrison trade.
Caleb Harris @HarrisCaleb2000
@by_JBH Absolutely agree with this. Would you say the price would be pretty high (possibly 4th rounder) since they’re in the same conference? Of course, Gutenkunst hasn’t completed many trades, right
Jason B. Hirschhorn @by_JBH 18m
The age difference is fairly small, and DeShone Kizer has yet to play at the level of either Nick Mullens or C.J. Beathard. And if the 49ers don’t plan on keeping both behind Jimmy Garoppolo, it won’t cost the Packers much to acquire one, either.
Paul Woodhead @pwoody1983
@by_JBH Both of which are older, less talented and have less starting experience than Kizer. Not sure moving on from Kizer is the way forward. The drop off from Rodgers to a backup is always alarming. Flynn only managed in short spells as the supporting cast was stronger back then.
Jason B. Hirschhorn @by_JBH 28m
Given the issues with DeShone Kizer and Tim Boyle, the Packers should look into the availability of the 49ers’ backup QBs. Nick Mullins and C.J. Beathard each have starting experience and come from an offense very similar to the one now run in Green Bay

After watching all the drek second and third string QBs struggling, they are proving Kaep’s case that he deserves to play again.
Sebnnoying you puffed that he would play again. You were wrong so eat your crow and STFU!
Yes, the little boy did. *pats on the head*
Now are you going take your ball and go home? The entire blog is waiting for you to do just that again. You wouldn’t have believed how the intelligence level was raised around here after you blamed your wife and skedaddled, tail between legs.

Cool, I got my tix for The Who at MSG next month
What did I tell you guys…the victim card played. Classic Seb move!
And in a classic move he tried to use nicknames that are clearly given to him by us as his own. Wonder what he would do if we ever used a word he had gleaned upon a thesaurus search (since he uses oh so many out of context and incorrect).
His best one was blaming sites for banning him. Who me? I did nothing wrong.
Oh Sebbisms…the gift that keeps on giving.
Anyone on this site who thinks that they are being a tad overblown has to just peruse the incessant Sebarrhea that he splatters habitually on this blog. He needs lots of verbal Imodium!
Yo Seb, you got any friends on here?
Not folks who think you have an equal opportunity to post (because that’s up to the host site and their non existent standards.)
Friends? Hmmm? Who? None apparent in the threads.
Maybe they’re stealth friends. Who Dey?
Perused the Mile High Report. One writer was speculating about the wisdom of going for it on 4th down and 4 yards to go if at the opponent’s 38 yard line.
.
There are a lot of extenuating circumstances. It depends on whether they believe they can make 4 yards. Do they have a play drawn up so they can run up to the line and possibly catch them with 12 men on the field, which would give them a new first down? Do they believe in their kicker to make a 55 yarder? What is his record of 55 yard kicks? Is their punter good enough to pin them down by the goal line? If it is a touch back, they gain only 18 yards. Do they have faith in their defense? Is the HC bold or timid? Since they stipulated that there was 11 minutes to go in the second quarter, it may be too soon to take a big risk. If it was 3 minutes to go in the 4th quarter, and the score tied, a field goal try may be the best option. Maybe it is too early, too far out and too many yards to take a risk, but it is better to be bold, and not settle for a field goal.
.
You know me. I think they should go bold, and not settle for a field goal, unless the score is tied late in the 4th quarter. Maybe the best option is the third down bomb. The QB throws the ball to the 5 yard line. If it is caught, sweet. If it falls incomplete, there is still 4th down. If it draws a PI flag, sweet. If it it intercepted at the 5 yard line, the receiver needs to tackle the DB, so the opponent is pinned down at the 5 yard line.
.
If inside the 10 yard line, they should go for the TD, especially if 4th and short.
Risk/ Reward would dictate you go for it more often than not in that location.
Well, Seb requested they play Barry Manilow loudly in joint practices to similate an NFL crowd?
Sebbie would find this appropriate…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47eAAOs0hNU
No, TrollD, that is about your speed.

I am glad they do not have music. The coaches do not have to yell over the muzak.

Fair to midland.
AES, it’s nice to have some people like you who aren’t overreacting. It was a bit tongue in cheek on my part. It’s practice after all.
W73,

My only concern in the 5 int development was to see if Jimmy G, would be negatively affected by that unprecedented practice.
So far in today’s practice he seems to be fine – that’s good news.
8 of 9 against this defense? Fangios defense?
Wonder if John Elway could take John Lynch? Shoving match may reach executive levels…
Seb says:
I think the defense let them go 11-11 to give the offense confidence getting back on the field to practice again and again!
TrollD, please grow up.
49ers pick up another guy that can’t stay healthy. This front office is really something else.
Quinten Rollins.
You’re seriously whining about a camp body to take over for a player who probably won’t make the team??♂️
Seriously tired of this team picking up guys with clear patterns of not being able to produce due to injury. These acquisitions don’t help the team.
I concur.
Not to worry, Kyle’s schemes will solve everything! Plus, we have a punter (I believe that someone wrote that we had the best special teams in the league —none of the patient wait and see guys called them out for over reacting).
Rollins was a 2015 second-round pick in Green Bay and spent three years with the club before landing on injured reserve last year. Rollins was released from IR and had a brief stint with the Cardinals that ended without any game appearances.
Rollins has 91 tackles, three interceptions and a sack in 33 career games.
Combine info…
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/quinten-rollins?id=2552263
Looking for Quinten’s injury history–kinda thin…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinten_Rollins
Missed games every season he’s been in the league and ended his time last year on injury reserve. He’s got a chubby injury history.
Do you think that may have something to do with why he’s available this time of year??♂️
Yea, why are you trying to make my point?
Your “point” involves a player who will either not make the team or go on IR, and another one that won’t either. Nobody’s butt hurt about those points except the one who’s sitting on them, and that’s you!
My bad, you and Seb.
Moi? Did I declare Rollins will make the team?
.
Wilds may have a chance, since McKinnon’s knee swelled up. They need a 220 lb RB to run up the middle. None of the other RBs are that big.
Seb, you concurred which by proxy puts you in the butt hurt camp.
No, I concurred on the concept that the Niners should select fully healthy players. Sure, many of these late additions are only camp fodder, but signing players with ACL,MCL and Achilles injuries is counter productive, and have even less chance of making the team.
Oh, okay. I was thinking a rain of ACL/MCL/Achilles/broken bones kinds of things–really chubby injuries.
CFC you need to get laid dude!
No wonder they call us the Forty Whiners!

Matt Barrows
@mattbarrows
Starting right guard Mike Person on crutches and with a walking boot on left foot after practice. Did not see him go down during the session.
I wonder how many people still think selecting a punter over an interior lineman was a good idea?
Yes, I’m feeling like the decision in the off season to mostly ignore the offensive line especially the already weak Guard position was a solid one.
Shanny just doesn’t put much value in guards. He want’s top tackles, and a very good center. Rightly or wrongly, it remains to be seen how it will all shake out this year….
I understand that’s his history.
I just think that drafting a tackle that could play guard or a guard that could play center would have been a better move. This would have given them a developmental starter who could provide depth at two positions.
Additionally, given Jimmy is coming off an injury, investing in a clean pocket for him might have made sense.
Let’s hope the injury is minor.
I think he mitigates that A gap pressure with his outside zone game, and then play action passing. I have basically two concerns going into this year:
1. Our interior offensive line.
2. Our LB’s and will they be stout enough to fill the holes up the middle.
I hope your right… and I’m way off (wouldn’t be the first time) and that will take care of the issue. I’m just not sure if it helps in empty sets, obvious passing downs or near the goal line.
Point taken.
WTF is a developmental starter ?
I classify them as Young, Raw, talented prospects that you believe can be developed into a starting caliber player. Normally rookies, that were drafted in the mid rounds.
And yes, I know teams “hope” all their players and free agents can do that, but they don’t realistically believe that for every player.
you will rather whine and complain over drafting a player you have no F..kin guarantee will succeed…….over a sure NFL punter….a unique punter…..a punter after all training camp reviews has a consensus feedback that he is better than most current NFL punters……
How the F….is drafting a developmental player better than drafting a possible 10 yr starting Punter
He is also a 27 year old rookie, so he does not have the same career trajectory as most of the other rookies. Most rookies look forward to the first contract extension after the rookie contract runs is course, when he becomes 25 or 26. MW is past that.
.
MW may do well, but I wish they had just re-signed Andy Lee, and kept him all these years.
@seb….you really can’t help yourself…..
what f…ing….. difference does it make when he signs a future contract?……
“How the F….is drafting a developmental player better than drafting a possible 10 yr starting Punter”
Because the greatest punter of all time isn’t as valuable as an average starting lineman?
Because we already went through this with Bradley Pinion and he turned out to be just an average punter who only made it through his rookie contract?
One, usually, when a team selects a player, they map out his career path with the team.
.
He no longer could play rugby, so he chose football. There is no guarantee that he will become All Pro, or have a career longer than 5 years.
If Dwelley is a future Hall Of Famer, then The Big Wishnowsky is a future Hall Of Famer too.
Wrong analysis, Subs-Kickers take no where near the wear other positions do–so they last a long time. 27 yrs old is nothing for someone who could realistically play until he’s 40………
This is looking like a very solid draft and there’s nothing you can do about it. THATS whats giving you a real Seb-onian pisser!
Saw, you gotta play the hand dealt to you.
.
I am not whining about the players chosen, I am lamenting the fact that they could have selected other players of need, and still could have taken the players they coveted.
.
Reaching just is not an impressive strategy. By trading back, they could have acquired an interior O lineman, safety, and still could have gotten the players the chose.
.
I feel perfectly fine second guessing their draft strategy, but they chose the players they chose, and you did not have anything to do with that, either. I have accepted their choices, but you seem to think I want them gone. Quit deluding yourself. I will point out Hurd’s red flag, but I will also be rooting for him to score more TDs.
You absolutely don’t know that for sure, just another know nothing fan, spouting know nothingness. One teams 413th rated pick is another’s 67th. There are too many wild cards about who gets picked when. If the player you covet is available for when you covet him, you take him. See also McGlinchey last draft. Take Sebs advice, trade back and he falls to the Seahawks.
Oh there was plenty of coveting the past two drafts, both by the Raiders. They coveted McGlinchey and The Bosa Constrictor. They’re now known here in Indiana as the Las Vegas Settlers….
trade back and he falls to the Raiders
Thanks for that correction Razor
Thanks for proving my point. Yes there are players taken earlier than their ranking, but the draft went to 254, and Hurd was ranked 413. To me, that is a reach pick at 67. He very easily could have gone in the 5th, 6th or 7th round. Most teams do not want to take a chance on a player who quit on a team.
.
We do not know how this will unfold. Even you do not have a clue. Most draft picks should only be evaluated after their third season. If they force him to be a RB, and he sustains more concussions, all bets are off.
.
4th round pick for the punter? In the history of the game, only a handful of punters have gone earlier than the 5th round. Most teams wait and pick up a punter as an UDFA. Most teams use their precious draft picks for other position players. The Niners should have been looking for an interior O lineman, a position of need.
.
You can claim that they would not have lasted that long, but you really do not know, so you are another know nothing fan.
Seb, you will come to rue the day you ever whined about taking The Big Wishnowski in the 4th round. That I can promise you my friend. God willing, I will be here to remind you for years to come!
True enough slippery Sebs-I didn’t have anything to do with the draft, but that is not the larger point and, of course, you know it.
When they were drafting and picked some one you did not approve of, you gave them in no way the benefit of the doubt. You gave each draft pick the famous Seb-onian “stink-eye” i.e., its not what u would have done, they should have traded down-then again, then trade down again, then another time once again-so they would have 30 picks in the 7th rd.
You wouldn’t let this thing play out and see where it’s going. You had particular, very specific hate for Bosa and Hurd-with all the rest right behind.
Now this draft is looking pretty good, things appear to be coming together. There will be rookie moments, some flubs here and there…all of which you will pounce on….
But the future looks bright and you are seeing precisely the opposite. THAT is the larger point and that is why you shall forever be thought of as………………………………..

Spent most of the day watching the #49ers offense but did see some for the defense, including another interception for FS Tarvarius Moore against Joe Flacco. Moore would have returned it for a TD. He continues to make compelling case to keep starting job when Ward returns.
And Sebs hated Moore when he was drafted………………fact is, Sebs put a curse on this team the day KS chose to not offer Kap a 20 yr K.
Sebs purposely forgets the door swings both ways…..he certainly can unfairly critique all things 49er—-but others can point out when he’s wrong.

Grant Cohn can’t afford a plane ticket to go to the practice???
I’d be more than happy to be a part of a go fund me page so Grant could travel for more 49ers inside information.
Cheapest roundtrip flights to DEN are out of SFO, then OAK, then SJC. A few exceptions, few. Other Bay Area media types appear to have made the trip. Grant needs to make the jump to a higher level media platform–CBS, ESPN, NFL Network, something. Having said that, the Press Democrat may be just tooooo cozy to leave.
The 49ers could use Moore luck like hearing he’s making a case to be the starting FS we’ve so desperately needed. He can be the playmaker that Ward was supposed to be….
Najee Toran
NFL Golden Rule: You can’t make the club in the hot tub (Garnett)
Najee Toran: Reasons he makes the 53 man:
1. He knows the system.
2. Decent pass blocker, slides and mirrors his man
3. Improved run blocking, which was not his strong suit, but opened up some nice holes in the 2nd half…Athleticism to make Shanny’s outside zone blocking scheme work.
I am happy. Niners had a good practice with the Broncos. Sounds like the Niner defense dominated, with a couple picks.
.
It was interesting, there was a media blackout on the Mile High Report. Guess they were not too happy with the outcome.
.
Tarvarius Moore may just have supplanted Ward. Maybe Ward’s best position will be at slot CB.
.
Glad JG did well. Still had a pick, but that means he was throwing aggressively. It is OK to have interceptions during the practices. He just needs to eliminate them during games.
.
Sounded like it got chippy, but no fights. Glad Hurd showed more discipline, and being in control..

Jimmy Garoppolo just threw INT off back foot under pressure from Von Miller. Garoppolo: 9 of 12 with INT. #49ers
An accurate observation
Just curious where is your boys report on the practice? Oh that’s right, he’s sitting on the couch like the rest of us.
Great reporter!
This is what you come away with after Garoppolo lit the Broncos up, completing his first 8 passes while spreading the football around to 5 different receivers? Figures!
His first incompletion was another well thrown football, deflected at the back of the endzone.
“Garoppolo was clearly the best QB on the field today, during Broncos’ / Niners’ joint practice”.
His lone INT came on a play where All Pro LB Von Miller came rolling in dangerously close to Garoppolo’s surgically repaired knee, forcing a flat footed pass that came up short.
Jimmy G. finished 10 of 15 (unofficially), with a couple of drops. Considering the circumstances surrounding his lone INT, I’d say that’s a very impressive bounce back for the Niners’ star QB, as I predicted!
Go NINERS!
Mo,
The observation that Garoppolo will throw 1 or 2 passes a game up for grabs off his back foot is accurate, and it was going on before the knee injury.
Jeff Garcia did the same exact thing during his NFL career.
Before that he did it in the CFL as well.
Whether Garcia did or didn’t do it has nothing to do with the observation.
Sure it does. It means you can have flawed mechanics and still be a successful NFL QB.
So take your Jimmy G slights and shove them up your a$$!
You sit there and dog the guy and think no one knows what your really getting at. Weak!
Meanwhile Garcia your hero was the worst technical QB in 49ers history.
“It means you can have flawed mechanics and still be a successful NFL QB.”
No kidding. Never said otherwise.
In this particular case, throwing the ball up for grabs off the back foot, the flaw can lead to an increased rate of interceptions.
Garoppolo has 10 starts, so he’s still very much in the developmental stage, so it’ll be something to watch for.
Discussing this stuff doesn’t mean someone dislikes a player. I enjoyed watching Alex Smith during the year and a half he played for Harbaugh, thought he was a good QB, but saw flaws in his mechanics at times and pointed them out.
I always thought Canadians were a friendly lot. Who hurt you?
Maybe Canadians can just see the BS out of people better than others and call them out on it.
I’m not gonna say much else other than Jimmy G is gonna prove a lot of people wrong this year.
Enjoy the season Hammer.
Always do. Right back at ya little buddy.
Just so we’re clear Jack, Garoppolo has thrown fewer INT’s during this camp than Beathard or Mullens, and Garoppolo is not only going against better competition, he’s also thrown nearly twice as many passes.
Maybe you simply aren’t aware of this fact?
And to be clear, Mullens is not taking a healthy Jimmy Garoppolo’s job this season. I hope we are clear on that as well. Mullens is Jimmy’s backup, if he beats out Beathard.
Where did I compare Garoppolo to either of those guys in this thread?
The observation of him throwing the ball up for grabs off his back foot is an accurate one.
We are clear you are clearly a HOmer NB is the SB…how is your gf Nicky doing..still not playing I see
Yikes a Jimmy G homer…..How is Nicky your girlfriend?
Mercury News…
A tepid joint practice between the 49ers and Denver Broncos saw Jimmy Garoppolo respond well from his past outing but right guard Mike Person joined the crowded injury list.
Why did Jimmy G throw 5 interceptions – the defense got to me.
I rest my case.
He needs work in irritation outlets.
For those who feel the idiot 9ers have–by far–the greatest number of injuries…

Ahhh, the lore of the blog. In bygone times, during The Hundred Years Alex Smith Wars, DS was a vociferous keyboard warrior/whiner who could turn an ordinary thread into a writhing ball of eels. Argue endlessly and often pointlessly, push people’s buttons and then get offended by the response and holler for Grant to ban someone, and to also by the way Grant please delete his/her last 3 posts because they make his/her look like an idiot.
In my memory one of the first people to just get completely burnt out on DS and expose it was The Legendary 49erGirl. There were arguments with many before that since DS was a Smither (the term fit in this case), but 49erGirl just scalped DS.
And so ends another installment of Fractured Fairy Tales.

Be nice to have Max, 49erGirl, Brotha and Rocket make a return this season.
If that were to happen, I would throw a party and have everyone flown into the Elkhart Airport.

I thought that was borderline creepy at the time. A few years on, I still do.
Rib,
Whether true or fiction, the writing had the feel of a nice detailed mini novel.
It was a cool story.
While not completely sure of 49erGirl’s impression at the time, I’m pretty sure she wasn’t flattered.

MidWestDynasty says:
March 2, 2015 at 7:36 pm
Here’s my first 2015 mock draft [edited for brevity]:
……..ROUND TWO
PICK 54
CB QUINTEN ROLLINS
Raw but talented prospect. Physical tackler that hits with a pop. Shows ability to quickly recover from a misstep. Shows a knack for making a play on the ball.
The biggest knock on him was that he had a frame better suited for basketball, which was a sport he also played in college. There were questions whether he’d be able to stay healthy in the NFL. After 3 seasons I think we got that answer. No.
From ninersnation… Three remaining preseason games in a very short span of time.
The NFL preseason has kicked into high gear with week two starting Thursday with 5 games – including a game between the division rival Arizona Cardinals and current Bay Area rival the Oakland Raiders in which Arizona’s entire team – including highly touted QB Kyler Murray – had a disappointing performance across the board.
But the 49ers didn’t play Thursday. Or Friday. And they don’t play Saturday or Sunday, instead having to wait until the beginning of the following week to suit up in a preseason Monday night game. But that’s not all. The Niners will then turn around and play their week 3 game on Saturday, the 24th. Followed by their final preseason game just 5 days after that on a Thursday night against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Which means the 49ers will play their final three preseason games over an incredibly short span of 11 days, including road games in Denver and Kansas City. The question is, how will this affect the 49ers players and coaching staff as they work to determine their 53 man roster, while also preparing for the regular season which begins on September 8?
Give the kid credit for trying…….

8. “Matt Breida did not participate in team drills, which opened up extended reps for Jeff Wilson Jr.. Wilson was impressive during the 49ers red zone period, recording both a receiving and rushing touchdown.”
Reply: Jeff Wilson belongs on the 53 man roster. Don’t expose him to PS, the man is a defensive ‘night mare’….(If Breida goes down, Wilson has the speed threat out of the backfield to take it to the house….Like having a 3,4,and 5 hitter instead of just a #4 hitter).
https://www.49ers.com/news/12-observations-from-49ers-broncos-joint-practice-aug-16
*Also Wilson’s 2nd year in the system which is usually when RB’s blossom in the WCO…Also, if Breida gets hurt, Wilson has the best speed from this RB class to take it to the house—It’s like having a 3,4 and 5 hitter, instead of just a 4 the D has to respect.
I think Wilson was in the 4.5+ range, which is below average. What stood out to me about Wilson was not his speed, burst or physicality but his vision and cut-back abilities….
OL updates: 49ers RG Person avoids serious injury; C Richburg ‘doing really well’
Eric Branch | on August 17, 2019
“Richburg’s doing really well,” Lynch said. “These are going to be some crucial weeks. He’s done a great job in his rehab. He’s starting to do more football-oriented things. You try to simulate with strength coaches him pushing people around. We’re getting closer and he’s responding well.”

I know some are predicting the Niners to be a playoff bound team (I don’t see it, road schedule, past indicators, red zone woes, etc.), but what are the key weak points on this team going forward?
I see the following:
1) Defensive backfield – I think the players currently either stink, are inexperienced, or injured too often.
2) interior OL – this will be a challenge all season, especially with how thin it is (not girth, personnel)
3) WR group – I think the TEs are good to very good but the WR group is a real question mark for me.
Any one else see others?
Unproven QB1 who obviously stinks. 5 consecutive ints? Unheard of, cut him now.
RB platoon that can’t stay healthy.
#2 pick was obviously the wrong choice, team will be lucky if he gives us 2 total quarters of play the entire season
HC who doesn’t know how to close out games.
GM
learningfailing on the job.But hey, we have ourselves a punter.
Did I leave out anything?
yes you left out a crappy Oline minus Staley, weak secondary that’s injury prone, nobody to do kickoffs, WR core unproven, tough away games
Dude those were covered in Sours OP. Despite your attempts, doubling up doesn’t make anything worse.
?
Stay on your bp medicine Rib!
Sour, you’ve given us plenty to whine about in the upcoming season.
I’m just trying to anticipate the excuses!
Stick with the ketchup.
Some people are sleeping on this defense. They’re going to be top 10 in fewest points allowed.
You think they will improve on ill timed penalties and red zone soft coverage?
I’m more concerned with offensive turnovers deep in their own end and poor kick coverage than I am either of those.
I do agree wit you regarding talent, Hammer. I think the team consistently stumbles and that keeps in the the bottom half of the league. Not sure I have seen any indicators that this has been corrected (save new wrinkles in RZ offense – remains to be seen how successful they will be in real time).
The offense and ST’s really struggled with the turnovers and returns last year, and that hurt the ppg allowed.
I expect to see a defense that gives up a good amount of yards, but forces more FG’s.
That’s what this scheme does. It gives up the underneath stuff, forces the opponent to work down the field, and then when the area is compressed hold them out.
Fangio style. He’s got to be salivating when thinking about what our defense could be.
I’m most concerned about offensive red zone penalties.
Also a hindrance.
If they can fix both defense and offense problems laid out by Hammer and yourself and barring setbacks in OL and WR and some moderately consistent play from the DBs I agree that they can be a top 15 team. Just, from my vantage, I don’t see it.
Just from last season, penalties that scuttled promising drives in or near the RZ. I’m not saying without these penalties the drives would have ended in TDs rather than FGs (or even changed the outcome of the game), but it made things much harder for the team and certainly contributed to the team being in the RZ conversion cellar. Not to mention the BP of the fans.
KC 4th & Goal at KC 7 – TOUCHDOWN NULLIFIED by Penalty. PENALTY on SF-K.Juszczyk, Offensive Pass Interference
LAC 1st & 10 at LAC 22 – C.Beathard pass short left to M.Breida pushed ob at LAC 14 for 8 yards. PENALTY on SF-G.Celek, Offensive Holding, 10 yards, enforced at LAC 18.
GB 3rd & 2 at GB 26 – A.Morris up the middle to GB 22 for 4 yards. PENALTY on SF-G.Kittle, Illegal Shift, 5 yards, enforced at GB 26 – No Play.
TB 4th & Goal at TB 1 -PENALTY on SF-G.Kittle, False Start, 5 yards, enforced at TB 1 – No Play.

SY this sums it up….Frisco has put all their salaries on RB QB and DL while the other position groups suffer..so yes and oh 8 Ecoast games this year..Frisco hasn’t won a game on the Ecoast since 2014 YIKES
Said it before and I’ll say it again. Not worried about the secondary thanks to the emergence of Moore. Two things:
1. Without Weston and Person, the interior line becomes concern numero uno. If they’re both ready by the start of the season, this concern takes a backseat to #2.
2. LB’s and can they fill the holes in the middle.
Even with Richburg and Person healed, the O-line in its entirety is suspect in IMO.
Yes suspect is an understatement
I understand your suspicion, Dave. Afterall, two castoff guards and an overpaid center. They did rank 15th overall last year, which with continuity and health(Weston), I think there’s cause for optimism. The depth behind with Coleman down is more suspect imho. Here’s what the ranking had to say:
An impressive rookie season from Mike McGlinchey (73.2 overall grade) and the ageless Joe Staley (82.2) did a great job of masking some liabilities on the interior. Mike Person and Laken Tomlinson combined to give up as many pressures (65) as their tackle duo while Weston Richburg gave up the third-most pressures of any center (33).
Continuity is its saving grace and if the starting five can play most of the minutes during the season they probably will be fine. If…..
I am liking the reports coming out of Denver. I see an exciting season unfolding for us.
Indeed.
How has Moore emerged? Wasn’t it all in practice?
Robert Saleh said after Friday’s practice with the Broncos, in which Moore had an interception, that the second-year defensive back’s play has made it difficult for the club to insert Ward back at the top of the depth chart.
“It’s definitely something to talk about,” Saleh said in his post-practice press conference. “Tarvarius, you know, he had the door open, but we always talk about, if you get your foot in the door, it’s your job to blow that thing open. He’s doing a good job. He’s going to make it very difficult.”
Practice in training camp is where you win a job. Now, if you’d like to quibble about my choice of words that’s fine. Some say knock the door down, while others use emergence. I chose that word due to him playing his natural position, which is FS….
Oh, ok? Wonder what Saleh said about his guys at the beginning of last year? No worries there!
Who cares? We were talking about Moore, and last year he was playing cb with the b squad. He’s our starting FS as of right now, and he’s just scratching the surface of what he can be if you watched any of his tape in 2017. Cheer up dude. You don’t need to reach for pessimism when it comes so naturally….
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo29tPoAbPE
P.S. Ward can’t do what this kid can.
Sorry, Razor. My bad. I did not mean stop watch fast.
Sometimes I forget that Seb and others only quote the stop watch and not look at what happens on the field w/o the watch like ex-football players do.
Like Jerry Rice, who only ran a 4.7/40 when timed, some players do things on the field that a ‘stop watch can’t account for….Exemplifying this is Jeff Wilson’s entire video.
Pay attention to his 72 yd touchdown run…..Also, below I’ve put another slow stopwatch guy on video, 4.7/40 yd dash guy, Jerry Rice who beats an all pro corner
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcJhYrWRvOA
Yea, I watched him play last year and he doesn’t look faster than advertised to me. Of course he’s gonna look fast in college, but his pro day was 4.57. Like I said, it’s his vision that stands out and his cut back ability. He may be faster on the field, but let’s not kid ourselves that he’s gonna outrun anyone on an NFL field….
Razor:
* I’m coming around on Moore! I wasn’t thrilled with his 4.57 and was reluctant to believe he was the answer. In fact I wanted the 9ers to sign Tre Boston. But if he continues to improve, I agree he should be the starter against TB.
* I’ve been too busy to look for possible interior O-linemen that could be cut or traded for from other teams….You have any suggestions?

Another skirmish/fight between Broncos offense and 49ers defense. Phillip Lindsay threw a fist. Everybody in there. Might have started a few player earlier.

Me too! Me too, AES!
SY,
Ha!
Sounds like you are getting into football mode my friend.
I caught your earlier entry (9:16) and while I agree with your concerns, I believe that many of these will be answered this season.
The Oline still has better than average talent with Staley, McGlinchey, Person (when he returns) and even Tomlinson. I’m a little concerned with our 2nd tier players if a starter goes down.
Our defense will be the biggest surprise this season. We now have young talent and a good mix of veterans that are going to exceed in 3 games what it took the D 16 games to do last year.
With young players like Deebo and Jalen joining Taylor (when he returns) and others who make the roster, we will see an improvement.
Kittle and Dwelley will give us good one-two punch at TE.
The kicking game should also see improvement.
I’d like to see these borderline players, who I believe can help make the team better:
Matthews (WR)
Shaair (LB)
Walters (RB).
There may be others but these stand out (imo).
Any players aside from these you can think of?
AES,
The season will clear up all the chaff, for sure. Agree with your assessment about the OL (very very thin).
For me Street is a breakout player. He was a monster at State.
Don’t know about Witherspoon and Pettis, but they have to up the game if the team is to improve. Matthews, who I like, may be a contributor but I don’t expect great things from him. Deebo and Hurd May be keys.

Hey Sebbie…
Check this. Philly is signing a QB…
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001042176/article/josh-mccown-ending-retirement-to-sign-with-eagles
Hmmm, scraping the bottom of the barrel.
If you can’t read a defense or pass from the pocket, and you’re 30+; you’re SOL.
Huh wonder why we didn’t send them CJ BeatHard?
Glad the Niners kept their cool, and did not instigate the skirmish. Sounds like the Broncos were venting their frustrations.
.
Mike Person was in a boot and on crutches, and it was nothing serious? I read that they taped up his ankle too tight, and it restricted the blood flow. No bueno.
.
I am not too surprised that the Niner defense has been dominant. Joe Woods used to be their DC, so he knows the Bronco players very well. The intel he provides probably has helped in anticipating what the Bronco offense will do.
.
Glad to see Kocurek improving the D line so quickly.
I had high hopes for Z, but he turned out to be a joke. Hopefully, Kocurek will be a mainstay.
I think Zgonina was handicapped by Hafley, who let receivers go undefended. The pass rush could not get to the QB because the QB had already thrown the ball to unmarked receivers in under 2 seconds.
You read, huh? Confirmation right there, better fire the training staff again.
Some people have their head taped too tightly. Sadly, nothing can be done for these!
Easy, I have never had my head taped too tight, but you seem to be talking from experience, and it shows.
No its your attitude that is wrapped too tight….how is life with your gf’s in Guerneville Seb??…..maybe they should wrap your mouth so you can stop puffing on peters LOL
Oh, good, the Frisco Kid wants to jump in the mud.

Puffing on peters? Sounds like you are an expert on that subject.
Nope when it comes to latency and puffing you are King Seb….that’s why you live so close to Guerneville…..come on come out and admit it Seb its ok to come out of your closet …. King Seb the Peter Puffer and resident Frisco expert
The Frisco Kid should crawl back to his cave and think things through. Everyone now knows you are fixated on peters, and as an expert on the subject, you just exposed yourself.
Sebnnoying you should try having your mouth taped shut!

Easy, you already mentioned the type of books that I read. Maybe you should start reading Manga, but you have to read them backwards.
Sebbie, I meant you had seen the picture books of these, not the real ones (like they have in libraries) with actual texts.
I just want you to graduate to something more substantial so you can put your binky aside and possibly join polite society, like the rest of us have.
I guess I should have draw you a picture! Then maybe you’d understand.

Depends on what and from where you read, otherwise it’s just noise at best.
Why not give us the source from which you read about this taping scandal, so we can judge whether it’s fundamental or not. Or just something someone pulled out of their behind and passed on to yours.
How does one source picture books?
Get a clue.
Hey Seb show everybody how you source the Kings English, it makes your narcissistic personality disorder more appealing ( to you at least) and to be truly a legend in your own mind….

Grant, I wish to apologize to you. I am truly sorry if this blog has devolved into petty bickering. It was never my intention for it to get down to this level, and for that, I am very sorry and will hope to become a better poster. All I want is to be able to discuss the Niners in a calm civil manner. I have repeatedly advocated that any poster who does not like what I write to just ignore my posts.
Somehow, I have become the butt of jokes and target for insults, yet have never become profane and just use the Kings’ English to defend myself. Maybe they think that if they can say mean things, I will just run and hide, but I am a Niner fan, and I will stand up against all who denigrate the team, yet realize that the Niners are not above criticism. Therein lies the crux of the problem. Maybe my posts are hyperbolic, but I almost consider it my job to counter the hate. All I want is for the Niners to win multiple rings and will not tolerate haters who want to pee on the parade.
I have praised you when I saw good prose, but have also leveled constructive criticisms. Of all my posting, I do not think you have addressed me more than 4 times, but I do not come here to stroke my ego. I come here because I love the Niners, and recognize the breadth and depth of cogent thought and astute football acumen.
I promise you that I will tone it down, and hope you will forgive me. I have said that I do not suffer fools gladly, but maybe I should grin and bear it more. Everyone here agrees that it could be much better, and I pledge to do my best to remain calm civil and polite.
His attention span isn’t that long, Cassie!! Poor dear, bless his heart!

* Good Idea Sleb! If only you’d cease dominating the blog with >50% of the posts with 1000+ words and whining, sniveling, insults and constantly attempting to impress the blog with your so called “superior intelligence!”
* Sleb = blog clown!
GEEPers, I sure am glad I am dominating you. All you can do is whine and cry about me. I am not only living in your head, I am renting out space. Considering how vacuous it is, I can rent out 2 rooms.

Posters who whine and cry about blog clowns just define themselves.

#49ers-Broncos joint practice wraps on a high note for SF. Jordan Matthews hauls in a tough grab to put Robbie Gould in range for a 55-yd field goal. He hits the “game-winner” as time expires.
Must be the altitude, because I have my doubts he can nail one that far back home. I’d say his sea level range is about 50 yards, give or take….
Gould is the hero yet again that’s why he makes the big bucks……..good for Mathews hope he makes the squad…go Frisco
Back to football.
.
Hmmm, I did not know Hurd also plays defense. ;p
.
The Niner defense is much improved, and it looks like they have got their swagger back.
.
Scangarello must be worried. His QBs seem inferior to even Mullens.
.
Glad to hear that the Niner defense is forcing fumbles and getting the ball.
.
JG seems to have bounced back, and it was nice to hear of the Niner receivers making contested catches.

Stealing my words, now stealing my comments. Knock it off, obtuse one.

God love him, Sebbie has OCD to go with his narcissism and IQ challenges!
Seb, don’t let Jimmy’s pretty boy looks deceive you like full monty or that frisco kid did. He’s mentally tough and scrappy. You have to be to play for BB….
And date porn stars…
Lol, it seems like it really bugs you that he went out with her but didn’t ask you for a date. ???
Oh Razor seems like you’re the one with googly eyes:
“…don’t let Jimmy’s good looks…”
You mention Jimmy’s physical attributes every time you post.
You bet I do. We Italians are lady killers! What I don’t do is bitch about who he dates. That’s the house you built, and you’ll have to live there all on your own….
I didn’t complain about his dates. Made a remark about his toughness and scrappiness. Seems you got your panties in a twist regarding the comment. Must be a bit of jealousy.
Didn’t complain? That’s all you do…and wear your broken heart on your sleeve.
But Razor always mentions JimmyG’s good looks…me thinks Razor has the hots for JimmyG….tired of Seb already Razor?
If I were to walk into that locker room, I’d go right over to Jimmy. “So you’re Jimmy Garoppolo?” I’d then address the entire locker room by exclaiming, “I’m prettier than this man!” Just like the Irishman from Braveheart when speaking about William Wallace. We’d all have a good laugh…until you and sour puss walked in when it would turn into raucous hysteria….
Are you and Jimmy that intimate? Wow!
Not as intimate as you and the frisco kid seem to be!
Oh, don’t be jealous! I don’t swing that way, but you clearly have eyes for Jimmy!
“You bet I do!” ~Razoreater
The sour puss doth protest too much methinks!
two fans Seb and Razoreater
are know to puff on the peter
one day fishing brown trout
in the russian river no doubt
Seb cries : if these fish don’t bite
I will eat it..
And so the legend of Seb and Razor were born
Lol, dumbass alert!
Dude, It’s okay if you’re gay bro.
Sour Yeast you are on to something…..Razor has a man crush on JimmyG…maybe he is in reality Kiara but hides behind his cool Razor moniker….tisk tisk……
By the sound of that lisp, frisco you’ve definitely had your mouth full.
Yes its quite tough playing the backup on BB’s team….riding pine is hard on the bum especially if you’re injured. Well if JimmyG washes out there is still a modeling or porn (he can contact peter puffing experts Seb or Razor) career. I think he could do well but Frisco must beef up the Oline some more and clean up the drops.
Not as tough as playing the role of the frisco kid down at the faith mission’s annual cotillion though. Am I right?
No I live in a different state….must have been Seb= he loves to show off his tutu while waiving his SF49 banner…..I have heard it is quite the sight to behold….were you there Razor? I heard you live close by
I know which state you live in fool. The state of confusion.
The only thing I am confused about is the state of your manhood……any parades for you to attend in Guerneville today???
Gender identity disorder isn’t something to fool with, frisco. Talk to someone.
Plus I am confused about your wanting to get into a men’s locker room…quite confusing considering you don’t play football…..hmmm yes you are in love JimmyG admit it … or is it all the stinky men in one place?
Seems as though you live in the Great State of CA….yes there is plenty of gender identity disorder as you mentioned in CA where you live…you sound expertise is this…perhaps you really should seek help .. ask Seb he knows a lot about this I am sure
Football is less than a month away, but the troops are getting heated ?
Can’t wait for that opening game whistle.
frisco, your confusion stems from your gender incongruence.
AES,
Just your typical training camp scuffles. If the team had a winning record, this wouldn’t be an issue. We’d all be singing it’s praises! (Well, at least most of us would, with an exception of a guy with a crush on a Nike spokesperson.)
Yup, you guys could use a? one (lol).
Sleb:
* “Hmmm, I did not know Hurd also plays defense.”
* One of a million thing dotard Sleb doesn’t know…..
Please lean to spell. A million thing(s) is plural, not singular.
.
Your screeds carry more weight if spelled correctly. If not, I just dismiss them as lightweight bloviating.
.
Actually, I consider your posts more lightweight jealous immature bloviating, anyways.
Oh good work! Everyone else on the blog has moved on to the next article but you’re still wallowing in yesterday’s name calling hissy fit. You’re pathetic.
Try being a little more cognizant of the fact that I had not been on this blog since 12:17 Saturday, except for a response to AES at 11:55.
.
When posters are addressing me, I only consider it polite to respond.
.
Posters probably ignore you, so you would not know what it means to dominate a blog. ;p
Sebs-I do believe you meant to say,,,, “LEARN to spell???
I told ya, that school-marm stuff is just going to come back and bite you……………
So this might be a harsh (maybe even unfair) question/comment, but I am seriously wondering about Garnett. He has a finger issue that seems to be keeping him out for quite some time. I remember in the past that guys would wear casts and still play. Didn’t Willis play with a cast a number of years back (I forget exactly what the issue was). Can’t Garnett play with a cast that immobilizes and protects the finger? Is playing with a cast on the arm/hand no longer allowed?
Not if you’re a flower!
Cubus the one comment made about Garnett at draft time was did he really love football?
I think he was enrolled in med school but decided to declare for the draft instead.
I think he made the wrong decision. No way a young man like that is that injury prone. I think his health and his passion are at odds right now.
Actually, Cam Inman just posted the answer:
“Guard Joshua Garnett will return to practice next week with a cast on his surgically repaired hand.”
https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/08/17/49ers-defensive-fight-shows-in-final-practice-with-broncos/amp/
And a vase for his body!
Good! That rules out an urn, correct?
With all the injuries, he may need an urn…
Way back in the day, Raider OT Bob Brown played with a monster cast on his hand/forearm. Made an effective club…
More on today’s dust-up…
https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/08/17/49ers-defensive-fight-shows-in-final-practice-with-broncos/amp/
Garnett might shut it down if he had a hang nail or small paper cut.
At this point, I’m seriously starting to doubt that he wants to play football. He was the best player at his position in college, but hasn’t been able to even give us a glimpse of that as a 49er.
At what point does the team finally determine that Garnett is going to have chronic injuries issues.
I think we’re fast approaching that point. Grant reported a week ago that Reynolds was the best backup guard, but I haven’t heard a peep about him since.
Hey Grant…
Do hope you’re putting some effort into compiling material for the ‘Best Of Grant’s Blog‘ publication. Lots of great stuff just today.
723 comments, and growing!
A frivolous aside:
In the 1850s when Sebastopol was known as Pine Grove, 2 locals got into an argument that devolved into a fist fight in the street. The over-matched one retreated into a store. The proprietor wouldn’t allow the other inside to finish it, but the other guy wouldn’t go away. A crowd formed as he waited outside for quite some time. The scene came to be known as ‘so&so’s ( name forgotten) Sebastopol’ after the then ongoing Seige of Sevastopol of the Crimean War. Big public joke in Sonoma County.
A few years later when the town was getting a Post Office the Postal Service would not allow Pine Grove as it was too common and already taken. The locals chose Sebastopol.
A movie about that history could be cast with Paul OhmyGodIknowmorethaneveryone
In the role of ‘So&so’.
Google it if you’re skeptical.
Reminds me of a Laurel and Hardy movie.
Somehow very appropriate.
Which director would do the story justice–Mel Brooks? The Cohen brothers team?
Haven’t heard much about the offense. Was interested to see how McGlinchey did against Miller and Co.
Here we go (sorry if shared earlier)…
https://www.49ers.com/news/49ers-broncos-17-observations-from-joint-practice
In part…
During 11-on-11 red zone drills, Matt Breida recorded a rushing touchdown. Jordan Matthews and Ross Dwelley also found the end zone during the drill.
Breida and Tevin Coleman both hit the open field for “would-be” rushing touchdowns.
During full team drills, Nick Mullens connected with Deebo Samuel on a crossing route for a big gain. Samuel also had a 15-yard pickup on a jet sweep.
A few plays later, C.J. Beathard evaded pressure and found Dante Pettis over the middle for a modest pickup.
Marquise Goodwin had a solid showing on Saturday, hauling in multiple receptions, including a 25-yarder from Jimmy Garoppolo up the left sideline during team drills.
Richie James Jr. also had a standout session. The second-year receiver came down with several receptions including back-to-back contested catches during a “move-the-ball” period.
Pettis caught one over the middle??
Evidently…
Grant picks a bad day top be absent.
Bad day to be….my bad (again).

The scuffle…

Heh. That looks less like a scuffle and more like student body right.
Let me show you how it’s done, frisco.

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA……humor good job…..now go back to blowing Seb..hahahaha
Jobs and blowing are your expertise. I don’t think anyone would dispute that, frisco.
No not at all…..you and Seb are the utmost in authority for sure….I am a real man I hunt and fish not kneel and bob like you two….good try though…say how far did you say you live from Guerneville? you should hitch a ride there and join in their festivities where you belong you snowflake
It’s not me you have to convince, frisco.
whatever bro, go back to playing with your Unicorn Snowflake…..you fool no one
It was thought that All The Fools Sailed Away, but now we know you just missed the boat.
Actually, thats a real nice area……………you have a lot of former carnival employees, but Redwoods…the R. River………..ocean just up the road…………..Sebs lives in a pretty nice area, notwithstanding the whacko’s and meth addicts….

#49ers #Broncos training camp update:
DEN offense bounced back a little and scored a few times in RZ teamwork.
SF defense still played well, Fred Warner forced a fumble that was recovered by Ahkello Witherspoon
Saw Pettis, Hurd, Samuel, and Matthews w nice contested catches.
Question of the day: Will we hit the elusive 1000 comments plateau today?
If we exceed 1000, there’ll be participation trophies for anyone with 10 or more comments/replies.–70% of the 10 or better must be football related.
10 or more?
Well in that case we already have a winner.
Seb, step up to receive your prize.
Sorry, couldn’t resist my ol’ blog buddy ?
AES, I accept your accolade, but my humble nature will not let me crow over my detractors. ;p
So many themes to cover in this one page. We start with the Sasquatch of training camp – the never before seen 5 straight ints. Then the joint practices, the scuffle, the piñata whacks at Seb always good for a quarter of the postings, the upcoming season doom and gloom for a couple dozen more. I guess Grant is technically still on his honeymoon?
We are working on it!
49ers vs Broncos, 1985. Remember this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTjzG7v5FfU
Yeah, boy that brings back memories!
Yup, the guy went down in a heap. At first I wasn’t sure if he was waving for an incomplete play or for a trainer!
That field looked pretty solid.
Old Mile High Stadium in the winter–was like playing on sub-zero slate painted dirty green…sorta.
I hate that
this is better

My favorite was a speed limit sign going into Denver that stated:
Speed Limit
55
And someone wrote beneath “Denver 10”?
lmao THOSE were the days…….Elway was def abused in that game..
Nice!
