Why do people think KW is untouchable? What has he done in two years to make people think he is the next big thing? He had 1 more catch and 20 more yards than Ginn last year who people on this board say he's the worst WR on the team. He's a 5th string WR who can't handle return duties and has a history of injuries. The only reason he beat out RoJo was because RoJo had a major case of the dropsies last year in TC. If we were looking at options at QB even after Alex's "breakout" year then certainly a WR who only sniffed the field because of injuries wouldn't be safe. His name is Kyle Williams not victor Cruz.

Please see Post #157. Your comparison of KW andGinn should also include that Ginn played in 351 offensive snaps during the season while KW played in only 278 (Link to a Matt Barrows Sacramento Bee blog).

That's definitely NOT what I see when I watch this play. I see a great downfield cut-block.

i wouldn't call it great or text book, but it got the job done..nothing illegal about it

To see Staley charging so well down field was great for me.. definitely nothing illegal, as he threw himself out there and 42 stumbled over big Joe.

Yeah, Staley managed to laid himself out in front of the guy's feet then the dude tripped over his thigh. Not sure if that's even a block. Kinda weak for someone who block for a living. But it was effective nonetheless.

Niner3030, we can argue about this all day in the end our opinions won't change. You think he's not very good and won't make the team, I think he has a lot of potential and will make the team. Agree to disagree.

I would argue some more but I'm posting on a iPhone, typing long arguments is annoying.

Go 49ers!

Kaepernick today said that footwork is his biggest focus as the 49ers prepare to open TC later this week. Kaepernick is at the center of one of the more intriguing camp battles on the largely settled 49ers roster as he tries to fend off Josh Johnson and Scott Tolzien to be the chief backup to Alex Smith. "I just want to keep working on my feet, getting my feet (together) quicker, getting through reads quicker," Kaepernick said. "Just taking pressure off the OL and getting the ball out of my hands." While most veterans don't report until Thursday, the 49ers QBs, rookies and a few other selected veterans are permitted to get a head start this week. All four of the QBs have reported, and they've been throwing to rookie wideouts A.J. Jenkins, Chris Owusu, Nathan Palmer and Brian Tyms. Delanie Walker, Konrad Reuland, Brent Celek and Kyle Nelson also are getting a head start this week.

Good to hear CK7 is showing that high effort we heard about. Also glad to hear that Alex is there.. thought I read earlier that he wouldn't be in for another week, but better that he can get in some early work too.

Really guys? Not a good block?



Effective is as effective does. That's was a classic down-the-field cut-block. The speed, the concentration and technique receive high marks especially since it paved the way for Alex Smith's TD.

One of the best blocks I've seen down field by any lineman in any era.

But, I'm a Staley groupie so I'm biased.

Kaepernick said that new offseason rules prevented him from throwing passes to his teammates during workouts at team headquarters in Santa Clara. So they would merely retire to a park a mile or so from the practice facility.

Kaepernick declined to identify his targets during those park outings, but second-round pick LaMichael James likely took part. James dropped by Kaepernick's place regularly during the offseason where the two would go over the playbook. James missed most of the offseason practices because classes at theUniversity of Oregon were still in session.

Thank you Matt for putting it out there in the media. Maybe now the NFL will have to pay attention to what the Niners are circumventing
