Training Camp Report: Aug. 13

Posted by Taylor Price on August 13, 2012 – 6:23 PM

Following the 92-yard touchdown drive he led to close out 49ers Fan Fest, Alex Smith continued his hot play with another stellar practice at 49ers Training Camp presented by HP.

Smith displayed excellent downfield accuracy while completing three deep sideline throws in the same midfield team period.

First, Smith found a familiar target, locating tight end Vernon Davis 30 yards down the field on a deep wheel route against the coverage of linebacker Michael Wilhoite. On the very next play, Smith attacked the left sideline again, this time on a 30-yard deep throw to veteran wideout Randy Moss. Undrafted cornerback Anthony Mosley gave up the big passing play.

Smith completed his third deep sideline pass of the period to running back Kendall Hunter, who slipped behind undrafted linebacker Joe Holland’s man coverage to catch a 25-yard pass. Smith stood out throughout the session, but so did some of the team’s defensive backs.

Let’s take a look at the top highlights from Monday’s session.

-New 49ers Joe Sawyer and Gijon Robinson attended practice along with recently signed linebacker Kenny Rowe. Robinson was able to participate as he was previously in camp with the Jacksonville Jaguars this summer. Rules in the Collective Bargaining Agreement prevent new players from immediately practicing in full pads. Sawyer and Rowe will have to wait two more practice to wear full equipment.

-During an opening team period that focused on the run game, Garrett Celek fumbled on a short reception when he was simultaneously hit by Dashon Goldson and Patrick Willis.

-In a 7-on-7 period from midfield, Colin Kaepernick completed a perfectly thrown 40-yard deep sideline pass to wide receiver Mario Manningham who beat undrafted cornerback Deante’ Purvis’ coverage. Later in the period, the best reception was turned in by undrafted wideout Chris Owusu, who hauled in a high slant pattern from Josh Johnson. Chris Culliver also recorded a pass breakup on a Scott Tolzien pass intended down the right sideline to undrafted wideout Nathan Palmer. Culliver undercut the post-corner route to record the pass breakup. Tolzien was later intercepted in the period when cornerback Perrish Cox picked off a deep post pattern slightly behind first-round pick A.J. Jenkins.

-In the midfield team period that Smith continuously found open sideline targets, new running back Brandon Jacobs exploded through the line for a 15-yard gain behind Leonard Davis’ lead block. Willis also recorded a sack in the period when his inside blitz got him immediately in front of Tolzien’s face to disrupt his chances of throwing downfield. Later in the extended team period, Culliver recorded his second pass breakup of the day on another deep Tolzien pass intended for Palmer. Another strong defensive play was turned by undrafted defensive tackle Tony Jerod-Eddie who batted down one of Johnson’s passes during the team period. Dashon Goldson closed the period with an interception on Johnson pass that deflected off his newest target’s hands, Gijon Robinson.

-In the final red zone team period, Carlos Rogers broke up Smith’s slant pass intended for Michael Crabtree. Smith later pitched a short shovel pass to Frank Gore for a touchdown. Culliver recorded his third pass breakup of the day in the period when he stepped in front of Tolzien’s slant intended for Kyle Williams.

    this offense looks pretty scary,our one two punch with gore and jacobs, will only be limited by what we ask of them, really teams havent been able to stop gore when they knew he was coming 8,9,10 in the box gore still makes yards,and ad in another large back jacobs broke that run outside fri nite sweet run, it may be hard to utilise them both, and it may be impossible to stop them both…..
    go niners !!!

    Seahawks have a better defense, better running game, better wide receivers and better quarterback. Sorry the truth hurts!

    Hopefully all this will translate to a first win in GB, It’s been a long time since the 49er QB has had an HC that knows his stuff!

    It’s crazy to see how many good players we have. It’s gonna hurt me come roster cuts. We can only have 53, and as of right now I believe we have at least 65 SOLID and I mean SOLID good players.

    lol you guys …..yeah sure alex will make the probowl if he throws against undrafted corners and receivers playing corner …..and in a practice atmosphere why dont we let the regular season start before you put your foot in your mouth

    I like Tolzien but, think he is practice squad material at best. With the limited snaps in preseason I think other teams out there might cough up a draft pick for him. Interest to see who will be here on the 53 and practice squad. Go Kap, go Niners

    probowl! PROWBOWL!!!!

    sorry Steve, you are wrong on all counts, except 1, and that could be changed with a subsitution, so you have to wait maybe 5 more years before you will have a shot at the division, now that truth really hurts!

    11 jeromy: everyone but you 2 clowns said AS did great. why don’t you 2 get on the winning wagon?? i thought you were back in your hole, but i see you have come up for air. give it a rest.

    In what universe are you gonna say the Seahawks have a better defense. Hope that crack you’re smokin was really good. Also, which wide receivers do you mean? Which 3 solid running backs can you match up to gore, Jacobs and hunter? How many games has Matt Flynn started? Oh yeah. One. I respect your loyalty, sir, but the Seahawks will come up as empty-handed this year as anyone else in the division not wearing red and gold. Better defense!!!! It is to laugh. Nobody has a better defense. Not in the division, not in the league. Bank on it. 9ers now and forever.

    @ the seaChickens day-dreaming on our site (wishing they had harbaugh instead of Carroll.) Just look at your schedule… The only good team you’ll be playing is the “NINERS!” A weak schedule for a weak team! enough said!

    the only thing I will say about the seakawks defense is that they play very good AT HOME!!! that stadium was built to amplify sound waves and makes it difficult for visiting offenses to run plays and call audibles. the rest of the team is either too young and un-proven or old and over the hill, you think owens and edwards are better than what we have?? golden tate,young and unproven,doug baldwin did well last year,,,,IN SPURTS,,THE SEAKAWKS,,,GIVE ME A BREAK

    @ Dino, you are sadly mistaken if you think tolzein is at best a practice squad player, coach harbaugh is on record saying that tolzein looks crisp in and out of the huddle, has a great understanding of the system,and is accurate in practice and that accuracy carries over to game day and has said that kap has looked good when RUNNING the ball in the redzone and goal line situations,but that he is still struggling with his accuracy
