The 2012 Preseason is on going, meaning the regular season is fast approaching. I've decided to rank the top 15 defensive ends entering the 2012 NFL based on a combination of factors such as production, talent, and overall skill set. 3-4 Outside Linebackers can line up as defensive ends at times, but only 4-3 and 3-4 Defensive Ends are included. In order to be considered...

It wasn’t long ago that Frank Gore was a first round fantasy draft selection – He was a great draft pick that ran hard, caught the rock and produced points both on the field and on our computers. Now here we are in 2012, and father time has slowly crept on Mr. Gore. He has contributed to the success of the 49ers, but as they begin to form a dynamic play-off squad they are...

Offensive coordinator Greg Roman said Wednesday that quarterback Alex Smith has become ''savant-like'' in his understanding of the San Francisco 49ers' West Coast system.
But one area where both Smith and the team would like to see the eighth-year veteran improve is in his ability to recognize and elude pass rush pressure.

When the San Francisco 49ers selected quarterback Colin Kaepernick from Nevada in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft, it was done with the obvious intention that he would one day take the reigns as the organization's starting signal-caller.

Despite the vehement denials of head coach Jim Harbaugh, the San Francisco 49ers are perceived to have fallen short during the free-agent bidding for Peyton Manning.
The reality is that the franchise may be better off for sticking with Alex Smith regardless of whether Harbaugh is telling the truth or doing damage control.

Brandon Jacobs’ knee injury indeed isn’t serious, LaMichael James already is ready to suit up again despite an injured ankle, and four other key players who have been hampered by injuries were back on the practice field.
