49ers trying defensive tackle Tukuafu at fullback in practice

San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh has gained a reputation for using players in non-traditional roles, and he may be doing it again with Will Tukuafu, a defensive tackle who has been spending time at fullback during practice. On Tuesday, Tukuafu caught a pass while coming out of the backfield, and the 6-4-, 293-pound Tukuafu has been getting quite a bit of practice time...

49ers “probably” won’t give Dashon Goldson more than 7 million per year

The San Francisco 49ers franchise tagged Dashon Goldson earlier this offseason after he made the Pro Bowl for the 1st time in his career last season, assuring him 6.2 million in 2012. Goldson has yet to sign the tender nor has he attended 49ers’ voluntary OTAs. In fact, he reportedly has no “immediate plans” to even come to the Bay Area. Goldson is said to be seeking Eric Weddle...

Vernon Davis on Super Bowl Favorites

‘I strongly believe we should be the Super Bowl favorites.’ That ten word answer has got the NFL fans and media talking. Vernon Davis sat down with Tim Kawakami of the Mercury News and Tim asked him since the 49ers are being mentioned as Super Bowl favorites do you think they should be. Vernon answered like everyone should in saying, yes they should be favorites. Why shouldn’t...

It starts here at practice. I don’t want to talk...

49ers Rookie LB Cam Johnson Out After Minor Procedure

The 49ers doubled up on only one position, outside linebacker, during the recent draft because they had so few outside linebackers on the 53-man roster last season. Now both of those draft picks are out with - presumably - knee injuries. Jim Harbaugh said seventh-round pick Cam Johnson had a "clean-out" procedure that is not expected to keep him out of training camp. Harbaugh...

49ers TE Vernon Davis Opens Up About Trouble Back Home

It's business as usual for Vernon Davis when he's on the field with San Francisco 49ers teammates, but off-the-field family issues have taken their toll on the star tight end. Michael Davis, Vernon's 19-year-old brother, was charged with first-degree murder in Washington, D.C., in the May beating death of a 64-year-old tourist from Colorado named Gary Dederichs.

49ers And FS Dashon Goldson Separated By $1M

Pro Bowl safety Dashon Goldson and the San Francisco 49ers aren't far apart on the base element of a new deal, but that doesn't mean a deal will get done.

No lie, Harbaugh was up front

I will say this about Jim Harbaugh: He doesn't care what our perception of him is. The San Francisco 49ers head coach is not losing an ounce of sleep over the belief he told a lie regarding his team's curious inspection of Peyton Manning this offseason. Harbaugh, whose team is stuck with Alex Smith for at least another year, recently volunteered "to come clean"...

Random Athlete Of The Day- Eric Johnson

In 1979 former NFL tight end, Eric Johnson, was birthed in Needham, MA. Fun fact, Needham has been a Coca-Cola bottling plant since 1986, and on top of that is a packaging plant for Trader Joe’s. Also a good-looking kid by the name of Phil Dec is from Needham, MA (feel free to comment if you know Phil Dec). Regardless of these irrelevant tid-bits, Eric Johnson went to Needham HS...

49ers TE Vernon Davis Believes Team Should Be Super Bowl Favorites

After the San Francisco 49ers fell short of reaching the Super Bowl, tight end Vernon Davis couldn’t bring himself to watch the game. The Niners had stumbled when they had an opportunity to win the NFC title game and he was crushed. Now, he doesn’t see any reason why the 49ers should not be the favorites.

All Iron Men Defensive Team

Earlier in the week I decided to take on the task of creating the ultimate Iron Man team from today’s current players and unveiled my All Iron Men Offensive Team made up entirely of defensive guys. Now it’s time to take a look at the guys on O that could become stars at stopping talents such as theirs in my 3-4 base defense. Since this is all for fun and means nothing for...
