Is that even their responsibility? That'd be cool to see Harbaugh help Brown out, that'd probably be something that'd go a long way in the player's eyes.

coaches didnt know, but Paraag and more than likely Baalke knew. What i would like to know is how common is a stipulation like this in a contract? I mean im sure every contract has money for going to workouts but 2/3s salary? seems way high

That sounds about right. That basically means next to nothing. I think is time to cut our losses. At most, give him the 4 preseason games and see what he can summon.
yes. i have always said,,, if we are setting here at the end of pre season discussing the same things and non productivity with him as we were at the end of last year,, you gotta cut him, admit you f**ked up and move on. yes its only three days of camp but come on,,, you expect more after a full off season under him

I think you guys are being a bit harsh, but we will find out in a little more than a month.

We can revisit this exchange after 6:00 PM (EST) on Sat. Aug. 31.


Honestly ? I think even if Jenkins tanks in those 4 games, Baalke and Harbaugh still will not cut him before the season whether we like it or not. My guess is end of the season. What is more important is who else can step up ? I would like to know who can do a far better job than Jenkins. Moore ? Lockette ? We shall see.

We can't pay everyone but we can at least pay them what they have earned


Tough luck, he should have known about the bonus.

No it's not really the coach's responsibility, but Harbaugh would just like to be involved in the solution of making it right for T-Brown.

#49ers Harbaugh said football-novice DT Lawrence Okoye looked better playing in pads than without. Off to good start.

From Matt Barrows
Finally, you're probably wondering how British rookie Lawrence Okoye fared in his first-ever contact practice. The verdict: He wasn't awful. In fact, Okoye handled himself nicely early in practice in pass-rush drills against offensive tackle Kenny Wiggins.

Like Okoye, Wiggins is tall and long-armed. With Okoye rushing from the left defensive end position, Wiggins stood him up on his first attempt. Okoye was guilty of encroachment on the second go-around. But on the third, he got low and inside of Wiggins and collapsed the pocket.

As a third stringer, Okoye got a lot of reps at right defensive end during team and 11-on-11 drills. He had trouble finding the ball and was uprooted and shoved to the side a lot by guards Mike Iupati and Wayne Tribue, who have a real advantage in leverage against the long-legged Okoye. But again - he wasn't embarrassed, and it has to be considered a positive first step for someone who never went through a full, contact practice until 2:30 p.m. today.

First contact football practice ever and having to line-up against Iupati...

I really want this kid to succeed and make this team. What a story that would be. And what an advantage that would be turning a road game into a home game in London. Although, I get the sense we are going to have the fans on our side in London regardless.

This article sounds even more promising about Okoye

Aldon Smith, San Francisco's long-armed sack leader, had a feeling Okoye's Olympic background would translate to success when the pads came out.

"I wasn't really curious," the third-year outside linebacker said. "I know a guy like him is an Olympian and is really strong, when he puts the pads on I think strength is going to show and show the way he plays. He did a good job."

Can you explain this remark? I just do not understand it.

I know that we disagree about the amount of time that Jenkins should be given, but as you say everyone is entitled to his own opinion.

Well hopefully Lockette gets some good reps and doesn't waste the opportunity that he's been wanting.

Florio is a troll. PFT is a good website marred by poor writing & editorial decisions.

Florio is loving... LOVING the Eagles QB competition, spinning it into a non-existent controversy between Foles, Vick, & Chip Kelly's delayed decision to pick a starter. It's awful, sensationalist journalism.
