Quick sketch of first-round pick DeForest Buckner
Thursday, April 28, 2016
Last year, when 49ers general manager Trent Baalke drafted 6-foot, 8-inch Arik Armstead from Oregon, he said 5-technique players were hard to find. Now the 49ers draft 6-foot, 7-inch DeForest Buckner as another 5-technique player from Oregon.

After a third straight loss, are lineup changes coming?
Monday, October 5, 2015
After three straight convincing losses, you never know what you are going to find in a post game locker room. Some players won’t talk, some give wooden answers about staying together through tough times and not “pointing fingers.” Others, like…

Monday, September 21, 2015

For whatever reason, Hayne replaced as punt returner
Tuesday, September 15, 2015
Head coach Jim Tomsula said the 49ers didn’t replace Jarryd Hayne as a punt returner Monday night because he muffed the first punt he attempted to field and the Vikings recovered the loose ball in the first quarter. Rather, Tomsula…
Wait nearly over? DeBartolo named Hall’s contributor candidate
Wednesday, September 2, 2015
During Charles Haley’s Hall-of-Fame induction speech last month, the 49ers’ pass-rusher wondered why the team’s former owner, Eddie Debartolo Jr., didn’t have a bust in Canton. “Mr. D., he won five Super Bowls,” Haley said. “… If the standard is…
Notes: Tomsula refutes Hayne report; clarifies Dockett’s rib injury
Tuesday, September 1, 2015
In his lone kickoff return of the preseason, Hayne had a 33-yard runback, the longest of any of the 49ers’ eight kick returns in the preseason. And, finally, there is the matter of Hayne’s punt returns: He’s averaged 20.0 yards…

Defense’s time to jell could linger into the regular season
Tuesday, August 18, 2015

Good Gabbert: 49ers’ second-string QB has first-rate practice
Tuesday, August 11, 2015

49ers linebacker play could go either way
Wednesday, July 29, 2015
Could the 49ers’ 2015 season hinge on what their linebackers do? Maybe. The return of inside linebacker NaVorro Bowman cannot be over-estimated. Can Bowman replicate his potential defensive player of the year performance before his horrendous knee injury in the…

Chris Borland’s retirment more about the league than the 49ers
Monday, March 16, 2015

Can Jim Tomsula replicate Jim Harbaugh in hiring assistants?
Wednesday, January 14, 2015
