Singletary, 49ers to get a jump on OTAs

Man, that Mike Singletary doesn't waste time. Singletary and the 49ers will hold one of the earliest OTAs I've ever heard about when they take to the field Monday and Tuesday. This is expected to be the only time the 49ers will practice as a team until their first rookie minicamp following the April 22-24 draft.

When you look at it, an early start makes sense. First, this is vintage Singletary. The guy has been champing at the bit since the end of the season, traveling around the country for college pro days and taking on a much larger role as far as draft evaluation than any other coach in the league. He also has two new assistants in fairly prominent positions. One of them, Mike Solari, likely wants to see what he has on the offensive line before the draft. As I've been writing, Solari will have a lot of ways to mix and match his line, especially if the team lands free-agent guard Chester Pitts. The 49ers also are expected to draft an offensive tackle early in the draft.

This is about as useful as his nutcracker drills were last year. He's completely overwhelmed by the position of head coach. There is no legitimate reason for this. He probably thinks he somehow is going to get extra practices. Probably thinks he has discovered a motivational loophole. Nobody has clued him into the fact that this grand scheme is ridiculous.

You don't know, Jack.

Sh1t!

LOL

Almost on this subject, and further to OldNinerDude's post, here is a link which may help a little

My opinion, this is good for the offense. More reps for Smith and the WRs, the more they'll be on the same page by season opener.

The link only works if you reinstate the letters which have been beeped out BTW

Sounds like a good move. I bet the players hate it though.

Are you kidding me? You have a brand new OL coach and you have two first round picks when OL has been a weakness, of course the coach wants to see what he's got before making any draft suggestions.

What If at the camp Solari goes "I can make David Baas a Pro-Bowler", do we still draft Iupati at #17? Remember Solari was at the combine so he's seen the prospects up close in almost these exact same drills. If anybody can make a comparison between our players' skills and the prospects' skills it's Solari.

Good Points. I agree fully. This is a win win situation. There's no lose here. Good to get some work in early, and spread it out through out the offseason to keep them on their toes.
PLus most importantly this is good for our OL coach to really see what he's working with. SMart BUISINESS MOVE!!!!

This.

Also, remember we can actually do OTAs this early because for the first time in ages, there is no new offensive or defensive system to install and virtually all starters from last year are returning. So nearly all guys should be able to hit the ground runnning, because they are familiar with the playbook. They can maybe do a quick refresh and then immediately start expanding the playbook or tweaking things instead of starting from scratch.

Interestingly, this could also mean that Nate Davis gets more reps durings these OTAs while David Carr is still getting up to speed on the playbook.

I see it as Singletary wants to keep his players in shape and to keep them from getting lazy during the off-season.

Players love being out there and practicing, ask them if it's something stupid.

You don't know, Jack.

It does take away 2 practice days from the guys we draft. They will only get 12 instead of 14, they need it the most.

Get crackin on those timing patterns with your recievers ALEX!!!

Lol. I never seen Alex hit on a timing pattern. The reciever almost always has to adjust.

LETS GO!
