Observations from camp today...

- Ian Thomas continues to look like a legit NFL tight end. He has to work on finishing plays still, but man is there potential. He almost caught a nice TD at the end of practice but had it pushed out of his hands by Donte Jackson.

- DJ Moore got dinged up a bit today on a play, at which point I nearly passed out. Please no more of that stuff.

- Cam Newton gave a long motivational speech before practice. HE said he could decide to wake up and be Captain Munnerlyn, or he could wake up and decide to be outstanding. LOL

- I'd really like to see Tyler Larsen get work at starting left guard, but Amini still pretty much has that position entrenched.

- Cam and CMC are talking more now between plays than they used to. Getting that chemistry going even more I reckon.

- Byrd still is hot and cold. Had a pretty bad drop today in team drills. I don't think his roster spot is a sure thing but it is probably likely.

- Luke made a beautiful move on the ball today and deflected it away from Greg Olsen. The NFL refs in attendance called defensive holding, at which point Luke gave him an earful. Mid season form already.

- There were about 6 people lined up with Peppers jerseys on the fence wanting them signed, Pep smiled and walked by. I explained to the folks he is probably the most shy person on the squad. Don't take it personal.

- The secondary is still giving the passing game all it can take at this point. I am starting to think Donte Jackson wins that second CB role. He is improving at a good clip.

- I am seeing more two tight end sets than in recent memory.

- CMC continues to show his running is evolving. Much left shifty dancing, much more hit the hole fast and run like hell.

Amini has photos of Rivera--I dont see how you get better by getting worse at any position. 

Bradberry seems to be better--the new scheme and less blitzing will help.  Jackson is playing like a guy who expects a starting role.

Jackson / Bradberry / Seymour /  Elder / Doss / Munnerlyn  / Gunter--I like group.

 

QUESTION:  HAS HALL DONE ANYTHING AT ALL?

    • If there's another QB that came to the combine after packing on 15 lbs of water weight to hide his playing weight, I don't remember it.  I understand it's all part of the pre-draft game, and he participated. The FO was stupid and ignored huge red flags.  On a side note though, I was at the airport a few weeks ago and saw a basketball team going through and decided to try and look through them. I'm 6'2 and these guys were 6'6 and up. I was amazed by how much I couldn't see around them. And these guys weren't 300 plus in pads. I still think he's having a hell of a time seeing the field at the NFL speed. 
    • There is merit to the points you're making here. On the flip side one could argue it took us investing 150 million in the oline for him to have a breakout season. And he has still yet to hit 1k rushing yards in a season. As far as Brooks goes the position does not require that significant of a draft investment for many other teams. That's not being negative it's just a matter of fact. The 49ers did quite well with a UDFA running back while McCaffrey was out. It is understandable that some people have concerns. That being said it boils down to whether or not you believe in the player. We just have to see what happens with him and Brooks.
    • Okay, that day in Vegas had to embarrass him completely. Andy showed him how to do the job.  What I think when I go there, why did it take Andy? He has had game after game of watching actual NFL QBs work and that didn't do it?  Anyhow Andy did not mess around, he stood in there and did his job and got rid of the ball ahead of the pressure. Down the field. With the same players Bryce had. Night and day.  If that didn't wake him up nothing ever would. But I don't think he has any sort of top NFL QB in him, he just lacks the full tool kit.
