Good stuff in this article, especially the Isiah Oliver and nickle corner stuff.

49ers Notebook: Purdy's practice restriction to be removed; Shanahan evaluates Lance's play; Oliver not a guaranteed starter

It sounds like things are progressing well for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy in his recovery from a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow. The team plans to remove the

It's been assumed that Isaiah Oliver was brought in to take over the starting nickel cornerback job vacated by Jimmie Ward, who is now with the Houston Texans. Oliver finished Sunday's game with the worst coverage grade of the contest, an abysmal 29.4 from Pro Football Focus. He was targeted four times, giving up four receptions for 34 yards and a touchdown.

Oliver seemed to be the lone 49ers starter playing on Sunday. One curious reporter asked the coach why he played in the preseason contest.

"Because he isn't a guaranteed starter," Shanahan responded. "I mean, he's been doing that spot a lot, but there's a lot of competition there. And we sat down our outside corners, but we didn't want to sit down any nickels and needed some guys to play because there's a lot of things we're still deciding."



Keep an eye on AJ Parker. He played better than Oliver at nickel Sunday. 14 snaps, 1 catch for -4 yards, 3 run stops.

Alright Brock, LFG!!!

 

[fantasycurse42]

And honestly, I think Darnold can operate this offense too. Really just need to keep CMC to 15 touches max and healthy, we don’t want to run him into the ground. Between CMC, Deebo, Aiyuk, & Kittle, we need to really spread it out. He should be decoyed a little more this season.

 

[Wingnut]

Hearing Bosa and the Niners aren't close as far as numbers go.

How the F can that be? It's gotta be the guaranteed money, we all know he's gonna get $30+ mil/year.

I'm really starting to worry about once he signs, how long it will take him to get in actual playing shape if he misses everything leading up to week 1? Will it be week 4 before he looks like himself?

This isn't the year to be f'n around and finding out.

REPORT: The contract situation between the reigning DPOY Nick Bosa and San Francisco #49ers is “complicated” and he could MISS THE START OF THE SEASON due to the contract dispute, per @TonyPauline

“Sources say there’s been very little communication between the player representatives and their respective teams.”

Bosa is looking to match or exceed the biggest deal of all time for a defensive player and this could last a while per the report.

We all knew he was gonna be the highest paid ever, get it done al-freakin-ready!

Nickel corner watch:

Wow — Steve Wilks talking openly about 49ers' nickelback options beyond Isaiah Oliver. Both Shanahan and now Wilks have said that the vet Oliver, hasn't locked up the nickel starting spot. Wilks said the 49ers are looking for more "consistency" from Oliver.

From Wilks: D'Shawn Jamison moved inside today. 49ers also like A.J. Parker, who played well on Sunday, there. And Wilks even says that Deommodore Lenoir can move inside if Ambry Thomas and/or Samuel Womack III continue asserting themselves at outside CB

They gotta get him going. He needs at least 2-3 weeks of football activity before the season starts. This is ridiculous. Pay the man, he’s earned it.

where's that 'Platoon' quote, oh yeah ' uh, I got a bad feelin' here, bub..' either the Raiders are worldbeaters, or the Niners are in trouble. yep it's preseason. I get it. but the niners looked pathetic, You get the feeling the wheels are about to come off the truck/bus/tractor. I believe this is the end of the K. Shanahan experiment in SF, and the dude with the mush brain , John Lynch, has to answer for the debacle that is trey lance, perhaps one of, if not the worst, top draft picks in the history of the NFL - ever. this guy is a complete and utter bust.
Bosa should be paid - they gave Lance a bundle in cash and he probably won't make the roster this year.
this team is a badly listing ship taking on water.

I don't know if this is schtick or not but there is some value in there as well.

The 49ers feel like a team that is one piece away or a team that could easily fall apart. QB is obviously a huge question mark, the oline is going to be trouble all year i suspect and I'm not sure they can stop anyone from throwing the football

We will see how it goes for sure

That being said I do think the Shannahan/Lynch combo is done. Shanny just seems like a choker to me. What happened to him in Altanta - i don't know he just can't shake it or that his personality but coaching mistakes seem to be a big deal for him. Lynch has to go because the last couple of drafts have honestly been horrible.

They arent going anywhere, they built a yearly contender from a team that was garbage when they took over. The QB position has been the only thing they haven't been able to figure out. Look at Buffalo, who has an "elite" QB and can't figure out how make deep playoff runs.

I can't believe you don't have that troll you quoted blocked. They need to be banned for being a thread pooper and bringing zero to any discussion other than to stir the pot.

Feel like both of these takes are pretty bad. These guys were 1 win from the Super Bowl last year and after one preseason game, its all about to fall apart? LOL. Seems a bit hyperbolic to me. Not to mention the division and conference they play in are pretty weak...I never heard the term "One piece away from....falling apart" but that's also why I love this place.

I can't believe you don't have that troll you quoted blocked.

Blocked or on an internal ignore. Although his fantasy football opinions are helpful. Just do the opposite and you'll have great success.

Shanahan took over the worst roster in football by far and was in the super bowl in year 3. Guy is a great coach.

Not sure how he "choked" the super bowl when he was in Atlanta. If I recall, Quinn was the head coach, and the defense collapsed in the 2nd half. Also, what direction did Atlanta go after Shanahan left? It's amazing what lengths people will go to to assign blame to someone they don't like.

All I can say is we will see for sure

When the going gets tough Shannahan has a bad habit of not doing the right thing. See not challenging the Smith catch last year when everyone in the room I was in was screaming 'no catch'

Kyle Shanahan’s reputation for choking will be hard to shake

Kyle Shanahan made mistakes in Super Bowl 54, but Jimmy Garoppolo didn’t do him many favors either.

www.sbnation.com

He is good at what he does there is no doubt but slow to adapt.

Lynch is a pretty bad drafter.

Anyway we will see...I'm not interested in arguing. My point being is that if they don't get the QB situation right this year they might be in trouble. Bosa not at practice, no oline depth, and a very susceptible pass defense...big question marks. I've said lots in here that they should be good in here but they are the QB situation going bad or a couple of injuries away from having some huge question marks

Didn't realize he was a troll but could sense it...I have added him to my block list

Buffalo is another team though that just feels a little off don't they? I know Allen wills them to wins but personally every year I wouldn't be surprised if they only go 9-7. This year I wouldn't be surprised if they finished 3rd...

I know the 49ers are built to win now but we have talked extensively about the potential weak offensive line and the weak DBs in this thread and I think everyone is agreeance that we need some people to emerge. If Purdy regresses or isn't what they think he is this team might be in trouble or if the oline is painfully bad and gets a QB hurt. They aren't going 3-12 that's for sure but the lack of depth and question marks may not see them live up to their potential.

I feel like that's a fairly reasonable assessment.

I also think Lance is a borderline unforgivable mistake at this point on Lynch/Shannahan

 

[Wingnut]

I don't think our DBs are weak at all. CB2 and nickel are the only 2 positions we don't know who the starter(s) will be yet, but our front 7 is so good, Im not worried. QBs are gonna be running for their lives all year.

Hard to argue

I would really like to know who makes the final decisions. I think Peters has a lot of input too.

It's early, but not liking this draft class. No picks until the 3rd and then they use two of them on Moody and Latu? So many better players on the board IMO and by early returns, I think I was right.

2017: Kittle and to a lesser extent, DJ Jones kept it from being a total shiot show, but horrible. Thomas as a terrible pick and a lot of 49er fans knew it at the time. Trading up to get Foster was a risk and it backfired. Guy was a mental case.
2018: Glinch was OK, but not worthy of #9 overall. Pettis a bust in the 2nd. Warner great of course and DJ Reed ended up being a good pick, unfortunately, not for the 49ers.
2019: Bosa (no brainer), Deebo and Greenlaw. Nicely done. Nothing much in the rest of the class
2020: Kinlaw when they could have had Wirfs. Only got a 4th rounder in the trade with TB. Aiyuk an excellent pick. McKivitz could be a good pick. Will find out anyway. Jennings a nice 7th rounder
2021: The overpay to move up from 11 to 3 overall and then taking Lance. Ended up a huge disaster. I know it's hindsight, but Dallas gets Parsons at 12. Ouch. Rest of the draft was pretty damn good though. Banks, Lenoir, Hufanga, Mitchell. Maybe Thomas still contributes too.
2022: If Drake Jackson doesn't hit, a total disaster of a draft. Danny Gray and TDP in the 3rd look like bad picks although they are talking up Price. Believe it when I see it.

A lot of blown early picks and the decision to give 3 firsts and a 3rd to move up to #3 overall when there wasn't an elite prospect worthy of #3 overall was a huge mistake.

There's more to a GMs job that just the draft and I think Lynch is good overall as a GM, but yeah, drafting has been less than stellar

Lynch and Shanahan should have the keys taken away from them anytime they have an early first round pick. But they've done a fantastic job in the late round and undrafted guys. I mean, look, the roster was the least talented in the league when they took over and now it has more blue chip players than anyone else. I thought going into the Lance draft that this regime would get fired if Lance failed, but they somehow managed to extricate themselves by getting performance first round performance from Purdy, who might be the most valuable player in the league when you factor into his salary cap hit. It's really tough to argue Shanahan or anyone in the front office are on the hot seat, even if they disappoint this year.

Purdy 2022 camp: 5.9% INT rate (all 3rd team reps)
Purdy 2022 season (incl playoffs): 1.7% INT rate

Purdy 2023 camp: 5.1% INT rate (all 1st team reps)
Purdy 2023 season: ????


Lombardi:

Brock Purdy has now thrown 10 INTs in training camp — good for a high INT rate of 5.1%.

But some perspective: Purdy's INT rate in training camp working vs the third team last season was even higher: 5.9% (6 picks in 101 attempts).

Kyle Shanahan's thoughts: "You never want interceptions in any situation... (but) I definitely like having interceptions a lot more in practice than in games. One thing Brock does is let it rip... He's definitely not worried about people counting his interceptions in practice."


Fact that Brock Purdy's INT rate has been over 5% in both of his camps and 1.7% (very low) during actual games illustrates what 49ers are thinking: There's a significant difference between practice process and game process. Purdy also had a low turnover-worthy throw rate in 2022

8 game sample last season isn't enough to validate this thinking yet. Maybe he is gun-slinging during practice and more crafty during games. Or maybe the rest of the NFL hasn't adjusted to him the same way his own team has. Too early to tell.

Looks like they are going to flip to Darnold starting in game 2

Put your hand up if you had that on your bingo card last year?

49ers Notebook: Purdy not obsessing over interceptions; Mitchell, McCloud injury updates; Kicker plan vs. Broncos​

49ers Notebook: Purdy not obsessing over interceptions; Mitchell, McCloud injury updates; Kicker plan vs. Broncos

Some reporters are obsessing over Brock Purdy's interceptions during training camp. It remains unclear if we'll see the San Francisco 49ers quarterback in any...

www.49erswebzone.com

On Purdy:

"You never want interceptions in any situation," head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters after Wednesday's practice. "... I definitely like having interceptions a lot more in practice than in games. And one thing Brock does is he lets it rip. He's not worried about anything else, especially not worried about people counting his interceptions at practice and stuff.

"That doesn't mean they're all right. But I do like him letting it rip, and I like him learning from things that he can't get away with, things you can't get away with. And I think our defense got their hands on a lot of balls, not just Brock's. I definitely want our quarterbacks to cut down on them, but I also want them to make real throws, and when they make mistakes, to learn from them."

Shanahan notes that he doesn't coach his quarterbacks to be more aggressive in practices than in games. He wants them to be the same.

"But you also are always responsible for that ball," Shanahan added. "And there's sometimes in games that you see something, you hesitate a little bit because of some scar you might have had in practice or something from letting it go, and you don't let it rip because you did that in practice. And then we watch the tape after, and we try to learn if that was real or not or if that was just a scar from practice."


On Mitchell:

Shanahan confirmed that running back Elijah Mitchell, who has been dealing with an abductor strain, is close to returning to practice.


McCloud:

Shanahan initially believed the recovery would keep him out for about eight weeks. Now, there is hope that he might be back for the start of the regular season, which means the team is leaning toward not placing him on injured reserve.

"So I expect we won't be able to put him on IR, which is a good thing because we hope he can play, hopefully Week 1," Shanahan said. "We'll see how fast it is, but we won't know that for a little bit."

Kicker plan vs. Broncos​

Jake Moody, the kicker the 49ers drafted in the third round, missed both field-goal attempts on Sunday against the Raiders, prompting some fan concern. The team has another kicker, Zane Gonzalez, on the roster, and we will likely see him on Saturday. The 49ers coach wants to see both kickers get opportunities against the Broncos.

"Zane's looked too good to not give him a chance," Shanahan shared. "That was the plan last week, too, when we were going to have Moody go one and then Zane come in the next. But when he missed that, I wanted to give him another chance."

 

[Wingnut]

The 49ers worked out the following players:

- OT Jesse Davis
- OT Rashod Hill
- OT Ty Nsekhe


Gotta find some depth somewhere, I guess

 

[fantasycurse42]

If Brock is truly ready to go, I don’t know why he wouldn’t get reps in a game situation. Tbh, if he doesn’t play, I’d be a little concerned about his health. Can’t just throw him to the wolves in week 1.

He was thrown to the wolves in Miami last year, came in cold, and was fine. I get that he's coming off the injury, but maybe they think he's 100% and just don't want to risk playing him in a meaningless game.

Or maybe next week he will get a series or 2.

The San Francisco 49ers' online documentary-style series, "Brick by Brick," debuted the first episode of its seventh season on Wednesday night on Youtube.

The Hard Knocks-style series, which is developed by the team's in-house video production studio, 49ers Studios, offers a behind-the-scenes look at training camp, the players, and the coaching staff as they prepare for the 2023 season.

S07 E01: Keep The Fire Burning

This series is so awesome, I look forward to it every year.

Jake Moody UPDATE

There’s a first time for everything. Today’s thing: the 49ers iced their kicker at practice.

Jake Moody had missed twice in Sunday’s game following unexpected icings. So 49ers special teams coordinator Brian Schneider tried to ice the rookie today. Moody made the kick.

Kyle Shanahan said on KNBR radio Thursday that Purdy and the starters could play a series or two against the Broncos on Saturday. Then Darnold is expected to take over at quarterback with Lance playing in the second half.

49ers' Brock Purdy could play a series or 2 Saturday vs. Broncos, Kyle Shanahan says

After a pair of long practices this week, the San Francisco 49ers had a shorter session on Thursday, one that saw Brock Purdy complete 13 of 19 passes and concluded with a successful, two-minute scoring drive from Purdy and the first-team offense.Thursday was the first time Purdy has practiced...

Bummer, he was having a good camp.


SANTA CLARA — Former Dallas Cowboys’ first-round pick Taco Charlton won’t be suiting up for the 49ers this season, after going on Injured Reserve ahead of today’s preseason game against the Denver Broncos.

Charlton is believed to have sustained a hamstring injury. Signed Aug. 1, he played 23 snaps in Sunday’s 34-7 loss at the Las Vegas Raiders to open the preseason.

49ers put Taco Charlton on season-ending injury list; running back waived

Defensive end Taco Charlton went on the injured-reserve list, running back Khalan Laborn got waived and an ex-USFL player was among two defensive linemen signed ahead of the 49ers’ game again…

Based on early warmups, expecting to see #49ers QB Brock Purdy for a little bit tonight. And some fellow starters with him, though unlikely for Trent Williams and Christian McCaffrey, neither of whom I saw/have seen warming up.

Purdy sharp in his only series. 4/5, 65yds, all 4 catches were 1st downs. He scrambled a bit and took a decent hit.

I wish I bought him this offseason. Purdy will perform as long as he's the starter and healthy. Well done, @Wingnut!

 

[thecatch]

Other than Purdy looking good, this preseason has been mostly a nightmare. Yikes.

 

[thecatch]

I mean, it’s plausible that two third round picks might not make the team. Not because the roster is loaded, but because they might suck.

This is not "clickbait". I said it last year, after the NFCCG. The Lance trade is a failure. He's awful. We got lucky with Purdy, but did not capitalize enough off the Trubisky robbery.

No grand statements of who should be fired. But Lance will never start another game for SF.

Other than Purdy looking good, this preseason has been mostly a nightmare. Yikes.

If Williams started at LT it would look WAY different on offense. Tim Ryan can mention it off-hand, but it's NOT off-hand. TW IS the OL for all intents and all intensive purposes.

 

[Wingnut]

Kyle Shanahan said the starters will play next week in the final exhibition game.

Danny Gray possible broken collarbone.

Lombardi:

How about the evolution of the 49ers' CB battle?

Isaiah Oliver seems clearly out of the starting picture now. The surges of Ambry Thomas and Samuel Womack III have allowed for SF to shift Deommdore Lenoir into the slot.

Thomas has gotten first look, but Womack had 2 really flashy PBUs vs Denver vs Marvin Mims (comeback route) and Marcus Callaway (slant).

49ers love options at CB, too

Looks like we found 7th round gold again.

WR Ronnie Bell was picked #253 overall and had looked real good outside of 2 passes that went thru his hands for picks. In 2 preseason games he has 10 rec for 172yds, and 1 carry for 15 yards. He's a lock for the 53 man, he runs like he's angry at the grass when he has the ball in his hands. Yet another weapon for Shanahan, although I don't know how they can work him in with SO many weapons on offense.

Also, at pick #255, LB Jalen Graham has looked pretty good in preseason. Not sure if he makes the 53 man, but he will for sure be stashed on the PS.

These guys were 6 and 4 picks before Mr Irrelevant 2023 was taken. Say what you want about SFs 1st and 3rd round picks, but they really draft well in the later rounds.

A number of 49ers back at practice today, including Elijah Mitchell, Drake Jackson, Javon Kinlaw, and Kalia Davis.

George Kittle, Dre Greenlaw were both in uniform but did not practice in full.

Curious to see if Kalia Davis can make some noise at DT.

 

[Wingnut]

Hearing Purdy went like 18 for 21 in 11 on 11 work in practice today.

He's getting dialed in.

Nick Wagoner:

Had Brock Purdy at 30 snaps (all first team, of course), and finishing 16-of-19 with an interception.

INT came on screen pass intended for Juszczyk. Nice play by Drake Jackson who tipped it to himself and picked it. Purdy needed a bit more loft, similar to Lance on Sat.

Aside from the INT, Purdy had one of his best practices of camp, IMO. He and Deebo were cookin', especially on staple in-breaking concepts. They connected 7 times in team drills, many of which would have gone for 15+ yards.

Deebo continues to look set for big bounce back.

Javon Kinlaw



O/U on games played this season is like 2.5

 

[Wingnut]

Been hoping to hear anything good on Davis. Badly needed rotation guy at DT.

Monday practice update:

Khalia Davis

Davis returned from injury and looked good. Davis dropped Ty Davis-Price with a crushing hit on a run up the middle which drew praise from his teammates.
