I was with the guy who trains Pearsall and Cowing earlier this month for a few hours and he said Jacob has come a longggg way in a year. He made it seem like Cowing has a chance to do some damage this year if he gets the opportunity.
Keeping in mind that the vast majority of practice was 7-on-7 (no d-linemen), Brock Purdy looked sharp today, esp on throws to Jauan Jennings. Jennings, Demarcus Robinson and Jacob Cowing were the top 3 wideouts. Ricky Pearsall working on a side field. No Brandon Aiyuk (ACL).
The biggest difference you'll notice about the 49ers' defensive line this year compared to last is the average size. The transition from a finesse, pass-rush first DL back to the Saleh roots. '24 avg: 6'2" 3/4 & 279 pounds, 32" arms '25 avg: 6'4" 3/4 & 290 pounds, 33.5" arms
Here's 49ers LT Trent Williams talking about rookie Mykel Williams. "You generally don't see guys that size on the edge. It sucks having to base block guys with arms as long as your legs." "He has a chance to be dominant." "He's got all the tools to be an All-Pro."
Good sign that Aiyuk can put pressure on his right knee and push off of it without any noticeable limp.
Isaiah Neyor's spider chart. He's gonna lead the team in splash plays during camp/preseason
WOW - 49ers WR Isaiah Neyor with the play of training camp so far Mac Jones uncorks deep bomb and Neyor somehow comes down with it surrounded by 2-3 defenders Insane catch
Jauan Jennings saw Stef Diggs and Cardi B on that boat and decided to break records today. Love it. Real grinder with the right kinda attitude that everyone needs on their squad.
Nick Bosa on Robert Saleh and in no way throwing shade at the 49ers last DC: "His commanding presence in meetings is....what we needed."
Shanahan on Jacob Cowing: "I thought Jake had 1 of the best OTAs out of anybody on our team, in terms of the most improved and the most prepared." Naturally, the most 49ers thing possible happened. Cowing pulled his hamstring...while running routes on air. Tough to make that up
Some thoughts about the 49ers' injury news. Ricky Pearsall going on the Active/PUP list doesn't mean much unless he suffered a setback that we don't know about. The bigger news to me was seeing Malik Mustapha (good) and Ben Bartch (bad) listed. ninersnation.com/2025/7/18/2447…
He'd make so much more $$ on the open market next offseason if he bet on himself in '25. He'd be WR1 vs. bad secondaries for the first month. He'd get what, $10-ish mil with a new contract today that could be closer to $15M next offseason with a promising year.
49ers WR Jauan Jennings, who is scheduled to make $7.5 million this season in the final year of his deal, wants a new contract or a trade, per sources. 49ers extended Jennings’ deal last year, but that does not change how Jennings feels about this year.
"We don't care and neither should you"
Statement from the 49ers: “We are aware of the matter involving Deommodore Lenoir and are in the process of gathering further information."
The first homie that threw Lenoir the keys was hurt. Like, got fried in the group chat a week ago and still hasn't gotten over it or Lenoir took his girl type of hurt.
San Francisco 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir was arrested in Los Angeles on Thursday night on a charge of obstruction of justice, police said. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…
We see SGA ball so often that we've become desensitized to it. 31/10. Ho hum. @TaylorRooks
Jalen Williams was so good tonight that 31 & 10 with six stocks is sneaking through the backdoor lol
Each one of these gets progressively more disrespectful. Watch the net. It barely moves.
CAITLIN CLARK WHAT ON EARTH
Made a couple of videos today. What to expect from Bryce Huff in 10ish plays youtu.be/H5g4qrUdUuE Mykel Williams vs. Tennessee breakdown. I thought this was the game where Williams looked the most like a sure-fire 1st rounder last year. youtu.be/6HRTbfaEdI8
49ers HC Kyle Shanahan is not a fan of tracking practice stats: "They used to not report people's stats every day and say who's ahead, who's back, who's whatever. You could just practice. And when guys play to practice that way they don't get better at anything." Full answer:
Looking up the difference in Bryce Huff's usage from '23 to '24 when rushing from a Wide-9. '23 snaps: 240 Pressure % rank: 1st '24 snaps: 89 Pressure % rank: 9th Production wasn't the issue. Opportunity was. FWIW Bosa was top 4 in each of the previous 2 years in Wide-9 rushes
Trading for Bryce Huff drops the 49ers from second in effective cap space all the way down to...second in effective cap space. It's a low-risk move on somebody Robert Saleh is familiar with and gives the defense another pass rush option while the kids get acclimated to the NFL
No QB had more dropbacks from under center w/o play action in '24 or '23 than Purdy. Easy to see why he led the NFL - Bigger windows with more DL on the field - More DL = a LB/S has to guard Kittle/CMC/Deebo - More defenders in the box = iso routes for Aiyuk/JJ outside of the #s
clips of Brock Purdy operating under center dropback passes with no play action. talked a bit about this on the latest Football 301, I think we'll see an uptick in these types of concepts - something that used to be a football staple - league-wide.
