The Official Training Camp thread.
 

Might as well have a separate thread for photos and reports. Here is a summary of the 49ers first practice. Crabtree injured his ankle. I can't believe going into his fourth season he has still yet to play in a preseason game and complete a training camp without either getting hurt or some business matter getting in the way.

In bold haha.

"[Jamaal Charles is] battling Peyton Hillis for snaps, and possibly a starting job."

What is this I don't even...

Apparently Dont'a Hightower "rerouted" Wes Welker up field about 5 yards today.

I hope he knows Welker is kind of small and pretty important to this team... please don't break him!

It's the same approach they had when Thomas Jones was here. It kept Charles fresh and he ran for over 1400 yards at an insane 6.4 ypc average. I don't mind Hillis taking the beating instead of Charles, I'll tell you that much.

A funny tweet from Chris Kluwe today...

I would like to apologize to anyone that was at practice and saw my throw during the fake punt. I Tebow'd the **** out of that one.

It looks like the Patriots are going to be running more four-man fronts. It seems like Trevor Scott and Rob Ninkovich have been starting on the ends, with Chandler Jones and Jake Bequette rotating in. Brandon Deaderick was seen exclusively at defensive tackle (second team) behind Kyle Love and Vince Wilfork, who is supposedly looking much slimmer. Jonathan Fanene saw almost all of his work at defensive tackle.

Right now Kyle Arrington appears ahead of Ras-I Dowling on the depth chart, but when the Patriots go into their sub package, Dowling plays on the outside, with Arrington in the slot.

Other than that, Bobby Carpenter has been seeing a lot of playing time in the sub packages along with Dane Fletcher.

Offensively, Tom Brady, Brandon Lloyd, Julian Edelman, and Aaron Hernandez seem like the standouts.

Dan Koppen has been getting a lot of work as the starting center.

Marvin Lewis has banned players for using twitter during Training Camp.

I always wanted Scott to be successful, and I fear that it might actually happen under BB.

Fitzpatrick seems really in sync, so far. Pads don't come on until tonight, though. Gilmore against Stevie seems to be the most interesting matchup. Glenn vs. Hairston at LT is the most intriguing competition, for sure. Hoping Glenn doesn't make a habit of struggling with the likes of Chris Kelsay.

oh man. lets goooo

Kevin Kolb just throwing picks like an idiot.

Hey I'd like to see you go out there and throw a pass. I bet you would do worse than kevin kolb. All you do is sit on your fatass and talk **** so go and do it you worthless piece of **** oh and by the way nice SN you stupid mother ******.

Mrs. Kolb?

No, I am a Jets fan not a bucs fan. The bucs indeed suck donkey balls like the other teams. The jets are truely number one. We own NYC not the ******* vagiantas. If you want to ban me go free mr. webmaster. Ban my ass straight from this thread. If you have the hair that is.

man, I wish I was a teenager again. This kid's just living it up

Matt any news on Marcus Cannon?

Apparently undrafted free agent Nathan Palmer was blowing it up at camp yesterday alongside Moss. I think he was getting some praise in mini camps too. Hmmm....

As of now Brandon Tate is playing opposite Green.

Newman is playing opposite Hall with injuries to Clements and Kirkpatrick.

Carlos Dunlap is also rolling with the 1st team.

Barrows was asked which WR's stood out besides Moss. His answer? Not Crabtree, Manningham, or the 1st rounder Jenkins, but Palmer.

I've been on his bandwagon since May, come on Palmer!

He was traded to the Chiefs for all da picks.
