Training Camp Thread

Just took a ride for lunch and listened in to Moving the Chains with Tim Ryan and Jim Miller on Sirius NFL radio. Tim Ryan spoke about the "greatest practice ever" yesterday in Napa, says he was there watching and just dogged the Raiders and Jamarcus about what we did to him

He also goes on to say that Jamarcus was just getting baited to throw some of those ints by our corners. Said we ran a simple cover 2 bait scheme where the corners show that they're playing outside then wait to for the slot receiver to make a break on a cross route and Nate and Dre would just jump the route. Very similar to what Nate did to Orton last week when he picked him off in the end zone.

Tim said our defense was awesome and that he has never seen such a lopsided scrimmage ever. Love to hear that we embarrassed the Raiders

So now that the practices with the Faiders are done any news on practice today?

Exactly what we did to Orton. For how far off we were, we jumped a lot of short routes.

It's time to put this past two practices behind us. we have to go into saturday like we never practiced against the raiders and bring the same intesity. this is not the time to be overly confident.

We need to excute as if it were our last game.

Didn't realize I'd awaken your inner grammar czar. Thanks for the help.

Carry on.

Color me impressed. (BA Journalism; BA English/Writing minor; MA English; spent time as an advertising copywriter and as a freelance journalist).

If you want, I can get the yard stick out, and we can see who can piss the farthest.

lol.

Very impressive resume.

(I admit, I don't know what color "impressed" would be. Something like the "color of the wind" perhaps?)

But are you a Cal grad? Huh? Huh?

(j/k, as you undoubtedly already know.)

You're not kidding me. You're trying to bait me into a HUGE flame war, so I get banned. I know how you operate.

When was the last time we have had a Training Camp that has been this crisp, intense, and shown playmaking ability at both ends?

Nolan's Niners looked average against the Raiders last year.

This is the first time in a long time that the team is actually taking ownership of it being their team.

When have we ever had practices where QBs are completing 11 consecutive passes?

You play how you practice. When teams usually have a good week of practice, it transfers over to game day. I have a good feeling about Saturday, especially since it's at home.

How about earlier this off-season when Smith completed 20 in a row?

I know. Raye has really put these guys in places where they are comfortable and use their strengths. Martz had all three attempting the exact same plays whereas Raye calls different plays to different abilities.

I think Raye has already shown he is a far better OC than Martz.

He has definetly adapted to the players on our squad, unlike Martz who tried to make our players fit his system.

Oldninerdude and Squirrel!! I came across something that has to do with your conversation. You will love this and will probablyl share it with others in your field. I posted it below your back-and-forth.

On his 60th birthday, a man received a gift certificate from his wife. The certificate paid for a visit to a medicine man living on a nearby reservation that was rumored to have a wonderful cure for erectile dysfunction.



After being persuaded, he drove to the reservation, handed his ticket to the medicine man and wondered what he was going to experience. The old man slowly, methodically produced a potion, handed it to him, and with a grip on his shoulder, warned, "This is powerful medicine and it must be respected. You take only a teaspoonful and then say ‘1-2-3’. When you do that, you will become more manly than you have ever been in your life and you can perform for as long as you want."



The man was encouraged. As he walked away, he turned and asked, "How do I stop the medicine from working?"


"Your partner must say '1-2-3-4'. But when she does, the medicine will not work again until the next full moon."



The man was very eager to see if it worked so he went home, showered, shaved, took a spoonful of the medicine, and then invited his wife to join him in the bedroom. When she came in, he took off his clothes and said, "1-2-3!" Immediately, he was the manliest of men. His wife was excited and began throwing off her clothes.



And then she asked, "What was the 1-2-3 for?"



And that, boys and girls, is why we should never end our sentences with a preposition because we could end up with a dangling participle.

W/ QBs, Singletary says he's keeping competition fair. He notes he's starting to see things he wants to see. But he's not divulging leader.

Eric Green said he knew shortly after signing w/ Mia that he made a mistake. He said he should've signed w/ SF in March. Now, he's here.

Willis, Haralson and newcomer Green will not play. Gore and Bruce might play one series apiece for 49ers.

QB Alex Smith will get the start Saturday vs. Raiders, 49ers coach Singletary said. It's his big chance in competition w/ Shaun Hill.

Singletary on qb competition: we're definitely closer than a week ago.

Michael lewis (concussion) will be a game time decision. Eric green won't play.
