Huh? Defending the pass is his greatest strength. No chance he comes off the field in passing situations. In fact, if he doesn't win the starting job outright, I could see them still finding a way to get him on the field in nickel.

And he's been taking the bulk of his snaps at Mike. It sounds like the organization has had a change of heart and plans to keep Reuben at Will, so Freddy is playing Mike almost exclusively this far.

All of this and with Malcolm being a less-than-ideal fit at Mike, it only gives Warner a better chance of gaining snaps.

Foster and Warner should get the majority of snaps this year. Malcolm will play early in the season, but I expect Warner to take his job by mid-season. Malcolm is better suited for Will and that'll be Foster's spot.

I agree, you think Warner and Smith start with Foster out the 1st 2 games ? Or Coyle does instead of Warner ?

Hope so. Is Coyle even healthy yet?

He's Pop Warner's son. Smh.

I remember making fun of Kurt Warners grocery stocking name to my brother who is a huge Rams fan. (He lived in St Louis at the time so it wasn't contagious) Said he sounded like a preppie.

He still asks me if guys named Kurt can't play football.

Same here. It will be interesting to see how long Malcom Smith can hold Warner off when we switch to Nickel.

If there is a silver lining with Foster being suspended, it's that we get to see what this guy can do immediately .

Yeah, that's the real question. With Warner at MIKE and getting to audition there for two games, when Foster returns to WILL, what will Saleh do? Go with the veteran Smith at MIKE or stay with the rookie?

Depends on TC and preseason.

If he doesn't start the first 2 games - he'll still see plenty of action.

IMO, he'll be starting by the 5th game.

Good start.

Quick #49ersCamp Day 1 notes:
-Garoppolo/Goodwin picked up where they left off
-Zero passes thrown Richard Sherman's way
-Jerick McKinnon had his fair share of slash plays
-Fred Warner outstanding in coverage
-Defense won more than they lost
— Rob Lowder (@Rob_Lowder) July 26, 2018

#49ers Day 1 takeaways:
-Marquise Goodwin had three long plays
-Fred Warner looked strong in coverage
-Defense had a better day than the offense
-No targets for Richard Sherman, whose work was limited
-Great catch/throw from Beathard to Richie James late in practice, 35 yards

I wish they detailed whether he was particularly good in man or zone.
