49ers were waiting to spring 51-yard run in win over Seattle
Sunday, December 8, 2013
On our sfgate.com chat Sunday, chatters were getting frustrated with running back Frank Gore constantly pounding against the brick wall of the Seahawks eight- and nine-man fronts. The typical ranting against offensive coordinator Greg Roman was ramping up. Admittedly, I…
49ers’ nemesis, Richard Sherman: ‘I always choose my words carefully’
Friday, December 6, 2013
Before each of the meetings against the Seahawks this season, the 49ers beat writers have requested to speak Seahawks ever-chatty cornerback Richard Sherman on a conference call.
Each time, however, Sherman wasn’t made available and we spoke with safety Earl…
Strong statement: Wilson recalls Smith’s bull-rush in Seattle
Thursday, December 5, 2013
After he underwent offseason surgery to repair a torn triceps tendon, it was logical to wonder if 34-year-old Justin Smith would fully regain his Paul Bunyan form in 2013.
In a Week 2 loss in Seattle, however, Smith erased any…
Colin Kaepernick with a lot to prove against Seattle
Wednesday, December 4, 2013
The 49ers will be looking up at the Seahawks on Sunday when the NFC West kingpins roll into Candlestick Park. Additionally, 49ers Colin Kaepernick, all 6-foot, 4-inches of him, will be looking up at his counterpart, the 5-foot, 11-inch Russell…
Harbaugh implores mocked fan base to make noise Sunday
Wednesday, December 4, 2013
In 2013, Seahawks fans have generated seismic activity, set a Guinness World Record for crowd noise and have maintained their title as the most ear-splitting in the NFL.
Niners fans? They’ve made headlines for other reasons this season.
In September,…
Donte Whitner on future: ‘I definitely want to be here’
Tuesday, December 3, 2013
Safety Donte Whitner, a Pro Bowler in 2012 who is in the midst of his best season, is the final year of a three-year, $11.75 million contract. In July, he acknowledged he’d like to join players such as right tackle…
Harbaugh on Davis: ‘Did you tell Michael Jordan not to take off from the free-throw line?’
Monday, December 2, 2013
Flanked by Colin Kaepernick, 26, and Michael Crabtree, 26, at a postgame press conference Sunday, Anquan Boldin, 33, was the voice of prudence and reason.
What did you guys think of Vernon Davis’ hurdling ability?
Kaepernick: “Very athletic.”
Crabtree: “Very…
Double trouble: Brooks, Smith could become rare 49ers’ tandem
Friday, November 29, 2013
After he received national attention two weeks ago for a sack that didn’t count, Ahmad Brooks said it was the most publicity he’s received in his eight-year career.
And that’s probably true.
Since 2011, Brooks, 29, has been an above-average…
Colin Kaepernick Q&A: ‘Yes’
Wednesday, November 27, 2013
Colin Kaepernick had his weekly meeting with the media today.
Here’s what the 49ers quarterback had to say:
Who’s been the biggest influence on your leadership style?
CK: “My dad.”
What has he taught you about leadership?
CK: “You just…
Recent Super Bowl history encouraging for Staley, 49ers
Wednesday, November 27, 2013
When it comes to reading up on the NFL, left tackle Joe Staley skips the what’s-wrong-with-the-49ers material that accompanies losing streaks. “We don’t really listen to what you guys say,” Staley said after a 27-6 win at Washington on Monday…
49ers release QB Bethel-Thompson to make room for Crabtree
Tuesday, November 26, 2013
McLeod Bethel-Thompson, the 49ers’ fourth No. 3 quarterback since training camp, was released today to make room for wide receiver Michael Crabtree on the roster. On Monday, of course, Jim Harbaugh said Crabtree would be moved from the physically unable…
Many happy returns: James thrilled he’s no longer ‘cooped up’
Tuesday, November 26, 2013
After he performed a nifty pirouette along Washington’s sideline en route to a 40-yard punt return Monday night, running back LaMichael James flipped the ball high in the air to a nearby official and practically skipped across the field.
Yes,…
Harbaugh won’t rule out Crabtree; Iupati, Brown won’t play Monday
Saturday, November 23, 2013

Harbaugh said the 49ers would decide whether to…
Source: CB Brock signs four-year, $16 million extension
Friday, November 22, 2013

Young wonders if Kaepernick reason for 49ers’ offensive illness
Thursday, November 21, 2013
Was Trent Dilfer right?
On the heels of Colin Kaepernick’s second straight forgettable performance, another former 49ers quarterback working as an ESPN analyst, Steve Young, isn’t dismissing his colleague’s analysis. Last week, of course, Dilfer made a few headlines when…

Thursday, November 21, 2013

Iupati, who sustained an MCL sprain, confirmed he will miss the…
Saints successfully dared Kaepernick to beat them
Tuesday, November 19, 2013
The 49ers guessed right. And it still went all wrong. Before Sunday’s 23-20 loss at New Orleans, the Niners’ offensive brain trust devised a pass-heavy game plan. The thinking: The Saints, ranked 23rd against the run, would commit serious resources…
Ahmad Brooks’ hit – what the 49ers should be doing about it
Tuesday, November 19, 2013
Anger rides high for the 49ers and their fans, even two days after Ahmad Brooks game-sealing, sack-fumble was deemed a personal foul. The 49ers were robbed of a turnover, and a quality road win over the seemingly playoff-bound Saints.
Yet…
Harbaugh still upset by penalty call on Ahmad Brooks
Monday, November 18, 2013
This wasn’t an animated, wide-eyed protest — a la his sideline demeanor Sunday in New Orleans — but Harbaugh made his feelings clear during today’s weekly news conference in Santa Clara. Even after video review, he strongly disagreed with the…
RB Dixon takes to Twitter to vent over role
Monday, November 18, 2013

Notes: Iuapti’s injury could end offensive line’s streak
Sunday, November 17, 2013
The same five members of the 49ers’ offensive line have made 26 straight starts dating to 2012, but that streak appears to be in serious jeopardy.
All-Pro left guard Mike Iupati left the Superdome on crutches and had a large…

Crabtree, Carradine could stay sidelined against Saints
Thursday, November 14, 2013

Sunday, November 10, 2013

Smith did not start the game. He played only 11 snaps, exclusively…
Notes from the 49ers’ locker room following a tough loss
Sunday, November 10, 2013
Not surprisingly, several players escaped the locker room quickly. This loss seemed to sting this team. Not only did they muster a measley 151 yards of total offense, not only did Colin Kaepernick throw for a palry 91 yards when…

Wednesday, November 6, 2013

Wright could be Brock’s next challenger for No. 3 CB spot
Wednesday, November 6, 2013

Aldon Smith: ‘Every day is just a step closer to getting where I want to be’
Tuesday, November 5, 2013

Davis & Boldin channeling Rice & Owens at midway point
Monday, November 4, 2013
A year after Michael Crabtree became the 49ers’ first 1,000-yard pass-catcher since 2003, both wide receiver Anquan Boldin and tight end Vernon Davis and are on pace to crack 1,000 yards this season.
At the season’s midway point, Boldin is…
Midseason awards: Gore, Bowman headline first half
Friday, November 1, 2013

49ers OC Greg Roman needs the game ball
Monday, October 28, 2013

Could today’s game be Asomugha’s last on 49ers’ roster?
Sunday, October 27, 2013

LaMichael James: ‘I don’t want to be upset all the time’
Thursday, October 24, 2013

49ers’ Tomsula back to where it all began
Wednesday, October 23, 2013

Fast impression: CB Morris making mark on special teams
Monday, October 21, 2013
Colin? Patrick? Vernon? Frank?
No, the first player Jim Harbaugh mentioned in his press conference after the 49ers’ 31-17 win over the Titans on Sunday wasn’t a star whose first name makes him identifiable to the team’s faithful.
Rather, it…

49ers’ defensive line, Titans’ run game both hurting
Thursday, October 17, 2013
