| practice without injuring himself Saturday morning at 49ers training camp.Bosa is coming off a torn bilateral core muscle Elgton Jenkins Green Bay Packers Jersey , an injury which ended his final season at Ohio State. After the 49ers drafted Bosa with the second pick in April's draft, he pulled his hamstring during the first practice of the offseason while participating in a one-on-one pass-rush drill. He missed the rest of OTAs and minicamp.Now, the 49ers have cleared Bosa to do everything in training camp."You always want them to go to OTAs as a rookie, because you throw a lot at them," coach Kyle Shanahan said. "But, you don't judge guys in OTAs, especially rookies. They just learn the playbook, do a few things, get away, come back, and it's time to go. Bosa got hurt the first day, so he wasn't able to practice, but at least he was around here. He got to do everything except rush the passer, and rushing the passer is something he's done his whole life. Now he's just got to get back in to practice and get used to going against NFL O-linemen. I don't really consider him behind."Bosa mostly played left end for the second-string base defense Saturday. But on third downs he played with the starters. And during his first play with the first-string defense, Bosa beat six-time Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Staley around the edge and almost stripped the ball from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's hands."(Bosa) got Joe a couple times today," defensive coordinator Robert Saleh said. "But, Joe is a seasoned vet. (Bosa) is going to find out very quickly that offensive linemen adjust in this league. He'll get a chance tomorrow to see where he falls after Joe makes his adjustments. Bosa has a chance to be great, but he's got to understand he's got to develop his game, otherwise they'll figure him out real quick."Bosa is the younger brother of Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa Elgton Jenkins Jersey 2019 , the 2016 Defensive Rookie of the Year, who has 28 1-2 sacks in 33 career games. In college, Nick Bosa had 17 1-2 sacks in 29 games.The 49ers did not make Bosa available to the media Saturday."He has a great football pedigree," right tackle Mike McGlinchey said. "He's very polished as a pass rusher for a kid who is just 21 years old. He looks like this big, powerful guy, but he's smart enough to be able to use his hands, get down and bend around the corner. He put that on display today, which was pretty cool to see."Like his older brother, Bosa uses fluid hips and violent hands to beat offensive linemen to the quarterback. "Bosa wins in close quarters," Saleh explained. "He wants you as close to him as possible, and then he just has an ability to flip his hips and get skinny in close quarters where most people need space so they can knock arms down and create angles for themselves."With Mike Tyson, the closer you got to him, the more trouble you were in because he loved to be in there tight. Same thing with (Bosa). He just gets in there tight, and then he can work his body and hands. His hand-eye coordination is pretty good."Bosa showed how good his hand-eye coordination is when he beat Staley around the edge. But there is a long way to go."For me, he's a rookie with a helmet and no pads right now," Saleh said. "I just want to see him get better, be deliberate in his practice and see how good he can get."NOTES: The 49ers signed DL Jordan Thompson to a one-year deal. Almost all of the Packers’ resources this spring have been spent on the defense. Brian Gutekunst now must work on the offense in day two of the 2019 NFL Draft."Mike Pettine must be grinning on this Friday morning. Last night, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst provided him with two exceptional athletes in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, one for the front and one for the back of the defense. Gutekunst was aggressive on Thursday night Color Rush Elgton Jenkins Jersey , identifying the players that the Packers wanted early — months early in the case of 12th overall pick Rashan Gary — and making a big move upward to grab safety Darnell Savage at 21.New head coach Matt LaFleur, however, could be excused for thinking “what about me?”APC reactsSubscribe to the Acme Packing Company podcast!After all, the new head man in Green Bay is an offensive guy who will call the team’s plays and is installing a new scheme this spring (or at least a significantly different version of the West Coast offense). And so far, of all the Packers’ significant additions this offseason, only one — offensive lineman Billy Turner — has come on that side of the football.Za’Darius Smith, Preston Smith, and Adrian Amos in free agency, and now Rashan Gary and Darnell Savage in the draft ... that’s a lot of capital, both in terms of the draft and future salary cap money, invested to give Pettine every tool possible to improve the Packers’ defense. Now, with picks 44 and 75 on day two of the draft in his pocket, Gutekunst must look to the other side of the football.He even alluded to this in his press conference late Thursday night. “This obviously was a focus of ours,” he said about the overall investment in the defense. “We’ve added a number of bodies to that and guys we’re really excited about.” But he joked that LaFleur might like to see some more athletes as well: “I’d like to think we’re gonna still stay true to allowing the best player available to come to us (but) I do have an offensive coach sitting to my left in the room.”All told, the board set up for a strong draft on defense to start, but it was still a bit of a surprise that Gutekunst did not draft an offensive lineman on Thursday. Perhaps the biggest shock was the Savage pick coming — that trade up felt at the time like a spot where the Packers were moving up for a falling tackle like Washington State’s Andre Dillard. Either the team views Turner as a long-term answer at tackle, a real possibility, or they feel that they can find contributors on days two and three this weekend, because there are still major question marks at guard and right tackle.Heading into day two Cheap Elgton Jenkins Jersey , Dalton Risner and Jawaan Taylor look like the most plausible Packers linemen with that 44th pick, if they fall all the way there. Gutekunst’s one prior offensive line draft pick, Cole Madison, had a less-than-stellar workout; Risner’s athletic testing was better than Madison’s, plus he can play multiple positions. Taylor is a tackle only, but he did not work out this spring and has a knee injury that reportedly caused his fall out of round one. Adding Oklahoma’s Cody Ford to the mix and you see a group of linemen who should be in the mix at least the next time the Packers are on the clock.Then there are questions about pass-catchers, particularly tight ends. The two Iowa players, Hockenson and Fant, both went in the top 20 picks. That leaves Alabama’s Irv Smith as a possibility if he falls to 44, though his overall athleticism does not match the kind of level that Gutekunst has tended to draft so far in his brief career. Instead, a player like San Diego State’s Kahale Warring (who visited the Packers before the draft) or LSU’s Foster Moreau are much better athletic fits for the Packers and will likely be available on day three.Gutekunst could also grab a free-falling wide receiver. DK Metcalf’s fall out of round one probably should not be a shock, but between him, teammate A.J. Brown, South Carolina’s Deebo Samuel, and Ohio State’s Parris Campbell, there should probably be one exciting receiver available when we reach 44. There are a number of players who could slip all the way to 75 as well — keep an eye on Missouri’s Emanuel Hall as a sleeper there.Regardless of what specific position they target, however, after all the investment in the defense it’s now time for Gutekunst to turn his attention back to providing protection and options for Aaron Rodgers. The defense has its impact players now; the offense can use some help on day two. |
