Morning Tailgate: June 7

Posted by Taylor Price on June 7, 2012 – 9:32 AM

It didn’t take long for fans of the New York Giants to express remorse for losing running back Brandon Jacobs to the San Francisco 49ers via free agency.

Kyle Ratke of USA Today shares the story of a 6-year-old Giants fan named Joseph who recently reached out to Jacobs to express his desire to have the power running back return to New York for an eighth season. After Joseph’s mother explained to her son that Jacobs left the Giants because the team didn’t have enough money to pay him, Joseph, with the help of his mother, sent Jacobs $3.36 with the hopes Jacobs would return to The Big Apple.

The gesture was appreciated by the new 49ers running back, who just so happens to be New York’s all-time rushing touchdown leader with 56 scores on the ground.

“Here’s what I am thinking for the kid,” Jacobs tweeted last night. “I have a 5 year old, I will go and pick Joe up at his home in jersey and take him and my son 2 chucky cheese, what y’all think about that?”

More on the 49ers backfield and additional team headlines can be found after the jump.

Matt Barrows of The Sacramento Bee passes along the comments from running back coach Tom Rathman on San Francisco’s stacked backfield. Rathman: “I don’t know if everyone’s going to be happy with the time that they get… Because we don’t know what the situation is right now. It’s all going to play itself out. The good thing is we’ve got depth at the position. So we’re going to lay it on the line when we get into training camp and see who fits what role.”

Eric Branch of The San Francisco Chronicle shares the comments from second-year quarterback Scott Tolzien who’s looking to move up on the 49ers depth chart. Branch: “Tolzien invoked his past experience today as he discussed his latest less-than-ideal situation. An undrafted free agent entering his second season, Tolzien is the No. 4 quarterback behind Alex Smith, Colin Kaepernick and Josh Johnson. How many reps will he get during offseason practices? How will preseason snaps be divided? Tolzien said he’s drawing on his college experience while following Jim Harbaugh’s just-get-better-every-day advice.”

Rob Rang of CBSSports.com likes the possibility of rookie guard Joe Looney cracking the offense’s starting lineup in training camp. Rang: “If Looney is, indeed, able to participate in training camp, he could win the starting right guard job outright. At 6-3, 309 pounds Looney has the relatively short, squatty frame conducive to playing on the interior. He’s quick off the snap and when blocking on the move, which makes him an ideal fit in Harbaugh’s offense. He’s also physically tough and highly competitive. For a club that prides itself on its physicality, Looney is a perfect fit.”

Lastly, 49ers.com’s OTA coverage continued with a look at Anthony Davis’ “jump” at right tackle and rookie safety Trenton Robinson being mentored by veteran starter Donte Whitner.

    the above article was great reading but I must point something out. I read the article, anthony davis makes ” jump at tackle ” and it talked about the progress davis is making and it also spoke alot about alex boone still getting the entire 1st team reps at right guard and his knowledge of the system and being a veteran should solidify his spot as the opening season starter at right guard. the above article has some guy from cbs sports saying “if looney IS able to participate in traing camp he could win the job outright” I try not to let most of the media speculation change or distort my own feelings of our team needs and weakness,it makes being a fan much more fun that way. IS ANBODY ELSE FRIGGIN GOING CRAZY WAITING FOR THE PRE-SEASON TO START?? I KEEP LOOKING AT MY GORE,WILLIS AND BRYANT YOUNG JERESY’S THAT ADORN THE BACK OF MY COUCH AND WANT THE SEASON TO START TODAY

    Will Alex Smith have a successful year? That’s remain to be seen. Although we
    have depth this year the niners are going to have a very successful 2012 season
    provided none of the first team player’s sustain any major injury in the first half of
    the season. Even though the niners have a difficult teams to face this season, I
    believed the niners are going to stun everybody around the leagued by going
    undefeated this year, the niners are much younger, faster, experience and
    determined to be better than they were last year… just like “Oaklahoma City
    Thunder”.
