a fresh and healthy dorsey will be a big boost to the d-line depth if and when he comes back
until then, i'm hoping dial can hold it down in the middle. he's been killing it at camp according to the beat writers

I think Ian Williams will start the season. Word is he got a private work out with Baalke and the Docs to see his progress. If so I think we straight with him and Dial rotating.

i'm not holding my breath on ian being ready to start week 1
it's been 11 months since he broke his ankle and he still hasn't practiced yet. not to mention he had 4 surgeries in that span of time. he's way behind schedule

agreed, I dont see this happening at all. we finna play dial, and do so very sparingly imo, unless we really finna get destroyed by run game in nickel
i dont think so, as long as hes activated in the next couple of weeks and gets some playing time in the last 2 pre season games he should be ready to go
49ers nts only play 45% of the time, its not like he has to get into shape

1. Bruce Ellington. He’s the wide receiver/running back hybrid. The 49ers drafted him in the fourth round this offseason. He’s 5-foot-9, but he’s 200 pounds and built like a running back. He has been the primary outlet for Greg Roman’s creativity this offseason. The 49ers line up Ellington in the slot, outside and even in the backfield. Think Randall Cobb, the Packers’ wide receiver/running back combo. That’s how the Niners have been using Ellington. Ellington missed the first four practices of training camp with an injury, but has made 25 catches during team drills the past seven practices. To put those stats in perspective, Stevie Johnson has made just 20 catches during team drills in all 11 camp practices. Look for Ellington to become the 49ers’ secret weapon on offense if he carries over his practice performance to the preseason games.
3. Vance McDonald. This tight end has been targeted 48 times during camp team drills. Only Anquan Boldin has been targeted more times than McDonald. The 49ers drafted McDonald in the second round last year and seem set on making him a key member of the passing game. The problem is McDonald has dropped 15 passes in camp. That has to be a training-camp record. And even when he catches the ball, he tends to double-catch it, meaning he bobbles it and then traps it against his body. That won’t cut it. Can he improve his hands during the preseason? If not, he probably will disappear from the passing game.

speaking of moody and LBs, wilhoite is easily the starter imoVance has been such a disappointment so far. Looking forward to seeing Tank tomorrow.
” Moody excels in coverage.”
anyone who saw this dude at FSU would laugh at that comment
overall, seems like the staff followed their own old 'player with seniority who know the system will get first crack at it' thing at pretty much every position there was a battle in.
cox, morris and even cook seem to have the upper hand on ward and johnson
wilhoite over borland
pretty much every WR we already had + lloyd over ellington
moody played safety in collegeVance has been such a disappointment so far. Looking forward to seeing Tank tomorrow.

McDonald been a nothing contributor, it seems to me he`ll continue to be that. I don't have a lot of hope for the guy.
As for Ellington, that is great news to hear. We always seem to miss on drafting WRs, hopefully this guy turns out to be someone who can make some plays
