I really think (as Maiocco had mentioned months back) management is pushing Nate Davis to win the #2 spot this season, no way in hell Carr remains #2 if Nate Davis has another productive preseason showing.

Dude we should've just straight kept Shaun Hill then....WTF!!!!

• The silver lining to Manny Lawson's absence? It's giving Ahmad Brooks more time to learn how to play linebacker. Brooks was used mainly as a pass rusher last year. This spring, he's playing in first-, second- and third-down situations, which means he's having to do a lot more coverage. He and Parys Haralson were the OLB starters; Travis LaBoy and Diyral Briggs were the backups. It will be very interesting to see whether Lawson or Brooks runs with the first-team defense when Lawson returns.

At least two times a week, Smith takes a few of receivers out on the field to throw the ball around. The sessions are designed to build a rapport among Smith and his wideouts. After all, Ginn is a newcomer and Crabtree only arrived at the midpoint last season. Smith said he tends to work on the patterns that he feels are his weaknesses.

He's injured, although you bring up an educated and well thought-out point.

Thanks PTulini.

Mike J Sando Did not see this. Thanks! RT: @espn_afceast: Ginn still dropping balls with 49ers - http://tinyurl.com/27btcfs

Time to get Ted Ginn some stick'em. and Cody Wallace might be on the chopping block.

Cody Wallace may not even survive the first wave of cuts let alone make the roster. He is just about finished in San Fran. Ginn....Ahhh, all these drops worry me and more so him having some issues fielding punts.

Notic that it's almost all DEFENSIVE players, who are missing from this voluntary OTA session? Can you blame them?

I mean no pads, no tackling, no contesting WR for the ball, no defensive coaching changes. This OTA is all about tuning-up the offensive passing game. Period. There is nothing to be gained for a veteran defensive player to be there, except possibly to show solidarity. One look back at Walt Harris' injury in OTA's last year, and any veteran defensive player, will downgrade the importance of May solidarity (versus the chance of a major injury) in a heartbeat. Labor Day is the time for solidarity.

So, 5 veteran defensive starters (Willis, Lawson, Franklin, Clements, Spencer) being missing is no big deal, as I see it. When the pads come on at TC, the big boys will all be there, and the offensive guys will notice the difference, big-time.
