well where did you read it? link?

Found it, miracle.

The 49ers plan to use more zone blocking this season, especially on inside runs.
Inside zone runs should benefit Frank Gore, as they spread out the defense and will allow him to attack through lanes. Gore's instincts and vision are elite, and he's already one of the NFL's hardest runners to bring down. Gore's current Average Draft Position (ADP) is the RB11. He's usually available in the middle of the second round in both PPR and non-PPR settings.

Which quotes Niner Insider as the source:

asked about the 49ers and zone blocking schemes and why I think the 49ers will use zone blocking this year. I think that because Joe Staley told me so. Also, the team has used zone runs for the last several years in combination with gap runs. The difference this year according to Staley is that they will probably eliminate the outside zone run and concentrate on inside zone runs, which better suits Frank Gore.

That should dovetail nicely with Rathman's recent experience with Tom Cable. I Like it.

If Parker is truly looking to get Crabtree top five money or even more money than DHB then he can hold his client out the entire pre-season.

He'll be lucky to get activated before mid-season.

Then it will be like we have three first round picks in 2010.

lets hope it doesnt get to that point

Hey, does anyone know how much Michael Robinson is weighing these days...I am guessing over 240 lbs. at this point.

really doubt that. At most i think 235 but likely 230, he entered the league at 220 if im not mistaken.

IMO, it would be great for the team to have Robinson starting at FB. He held his own with Willis yesterday during the Nutcracker. If his blocking is comparable to Norris, he'd give the team more weapons.
Is there anything going today? Any TC today?

The 49ers won't be practicing on Sunday mornings? Why not? Well, Vernon Davis notes on Twitter that he and his teammates are off to church.
