First team offense was getting to the line regularly with 28 to 32 seconds left on the play clock in the portion I watched.

@timkawakami 30 minutes ago
Another standout from the first 2 practices: CB Tremaine Brock. Nice leaping INT of a Kaepernick deep throw today, very physical throughout.

@timkawakami 3 hours ago
49ers' communication plan, as I understand it: Geep Chryst in the booth calls the play to Steve Logan who relays it to Kaepernick.

@timkawakami 3 hours ago
Under Harbaugh, communication was Roman to Harbaugh to Kaepernick. Interesting that Chryst's plan involves the QB coach.

@timkawakami 10 hours ago
Best receiver clearly was Torrey Smith. Looks fantastic and seems to already be a Kaepernick favorite.

@timkawakami 10 hours ago
Hard to judge a lot without pads, but Bowman moved well in straight lines and rookie Eli Harold was a handful on passrush drills.

@timkawakami 10 hours ago
More thoughts from Practice #1: I'll echo what others have said--Kaepernick looked very sharp. Tighter release, every ball was rocketed.

Slowly getting back to football mode is a little difficult for me this year due to the off-season we had and coming off the high of the Warriors championship, but I'm a faithful and glad it's almost here! Time to bring out the Niner gear!

 

[illvine]

Last Sunday without football until February

 

[ii flash ii]

Was just listening to a interview with Tomsula... One thing that stood out was how he said that he was upset the offense broke off the huddle with 18 seconds left

No more wasted timeouts

Sheesh :x

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

 

[red80]

good to see bow moving like that. hes regaining his form.

btw dude needs to work on a new pass rush move. he literally uses that spin move 90% of the time when he blitzes.

looks like i wasnt the only person who noticed how conditioned ahmad brooks looks. dude busted his *** in the offseason.

 49ers TC2: Slimmed down Ahmad Brooks leaps out ... literally
 
The crispness with which the 49ers went through their Day 1 practice mostly vanished on Day 2. The long, graceful passes to receivers Torrey Smith and DeAndrew White on Saturday were replaced by ugly, short incompletions intended for running backs Carlos Hydeand Mike Davis and others on Sunday. Passes were batted down. Nice guy Jim Tomsula even lost his temper at one point.

Of course, there are two ways to look at it: It may be that the offense was bad. Or perhaps the defense was really good. If you go with that second story line, then you were impressed by Ahmad Brooks, who drew the ire of his coaches last year for arriving to training camp out of shape. With Aldon Smith suspended nine games, the 49ers hoped Brooks would step forward and lead the way. He did not.

Brooks, however, looks as fit as he's ever been in the recent camp. During one-on-one pass-rush drills he put a spin move on tackle Erik Pears in which he looked as nimble as Mikhail Baryshnikov (see, he's a ballet dancer). Brooks, 31, also leaped up to bat down a Colin Kaepernick  pass in the second half of practice as the defensive players mostly frustrated their offensive counterparts. At one point this offseason it seemed as if the 49ers would unload hefty Brooks and his hefty contract. Now he seems poised for a big year.

The team's other starting outside linebacker, Aldon Smith, also had a would-be 'sack' during the no-contact session. So did Lawrence Okoye, who has been playing right defensive end with the third-team defense and who chased down quarterback Dylan Thompson on a broken play.

Cornerback Tramaine Brock  had his second straight solid practice. On a busted play, Kaepernick scampered to his left and hoisted a long pass to Anquan Boldin down the seam. Brock, who has always been a ball hawk in practice, jumped in front of the wide receiver for the interception.

*************************

The offensive players weren't entirely shut out of the highlight reel. White had another solid day, though it wasn't as spectacular as Saturday's session. Instead, the offensive MVP was receiver Bruce Ellington, who caught a number of passes, including a 15 yarder along the sideline he broke up field for a big gain. Ellington also had two deep catches in one-on-one drills, the first coming when cornerback Chris Cook  took a poor angle on a pass that Ellington caught deep. He also outmuscled would-be starting cornerback Shareece Wright for a catch.

*************************

Darnell Dockett, Reggie Bush, Jimmie Ward and Aaron Lynch  practiced sparingly again. While Brooks looks fit, Lynch does not, which may explain why he landed on the non-football injury list last week. He has not taken part in 11-on-11 drills, though he did appear on special teams coverage units on Sunday.

As for Dockett, Tomsula explained that because the 49ers dedicated Saturday's practice to their base defense, Dockett, who is earmarked for work on nickel defense, was not needed. The team mostly worked on base defense again Sunday, although there were a few snaps in the nickel alignment. Brock got the first-team snaps at nickel cornerback with Dontae Johnson  playing on the outside. Johnson and Keith Reaser also received some snaps opposite the slot receiver when the second- and third-string defenses were on the field.

**************************

Guard Marcus Martin  bounced back with a better practice after struggling at times Saturday. He beat Ian Williams in one-on-one blocking drills, then battled Arik Armstead to a draw.

**************************

Earlier today, I wrote how Camp Tomsula is a kinder, gentler, more congenial event  than previous 49ers training camps. Don't tell that to backup tackle Patrick Miller, who drew Tomsula's wrath when he was on the field at a time when Alex Boone, not Miller, was supposed to line up at left tackle.

That forced the team to halt practice as the error was sorted out. It also disrupted the "Tempo! Tempo! Tempo!" that is paramount to Tomsula this offseason.

I think Jim stated that he would consider other alternatives in case wouldn't jeopardize the players safety but yeah that field tearing up

6 49ers-related Questions with USA Today NFL Writer Tom Pelissero
Joe Fann
Team Reporter
49ers.com



Our training camp series featuring some of the most prominent NFL media around the nation continues with USA Today’sTom Pelissero.
Pelissero attended the first two San Francisco 49ers practices this past weekend and offered his insight to 49ers.com. You can also find him on Sirius XM radio and follow him on Twitter. @TomPelissero



Q: You’ve know seen two practices, what are your biggest takeaways of this team?

Pelissero: “The first two days I always say that you just want to be able to see everyone get in and out of the huddle, and you want to see good tempo. You want to see that guys know what they’re doing. I think that what you see here is a team that, regardless of what the national perception is about them, they still have a bunch of talented parts. They still have a quarterback who has the physical ability to be a difference maker. Now, does he take a step forward here to make up for some of the things they lack? Time will tell on that.”

Q: Is there a player on this roster that you feel like doesn’t get enough attention around the league?

Pelissero: “Torrey Smith. As a new addition, he fits perfectly as the type of receiver that they’re looking for. I think he can be a really good football player. I also think Carlos Hyde, if he’s able to stay healthy, there are aspects of him that remind me a lot of Frank Gore. He has a compact running style and is a very decisive runner. He has a long way to go to be as consistent as Frank was, but certainly a football player that has a good shot to make an impact on the 49ers.”

Q: Does Aldon Smith look to be his old self, and what is he capable of when he’s at his best?

Pelissero: “He’s an absolute difference-maker. I remember the game the playoff game in 2013 against the (Green Bay) Packers*, and he absolutely blew up that day… You see him come out here (at training camp) and toss aside Bruce Miller on one play. He’s just so long and so athletic and you can move him around if you need to in order to create mismatches. Just him being able to recapture what he was prior to last year, that has a chance to make a difference. When you have that pass-rusher, there’s a reason why those guys come at such a premium because you can cover up a secondary. If the pass rush is getting home that can make a total difference in terms of how long your corners and your safeties have to be able to cover out there. That guy, at his peak, is one of the top two or three pass rushers in the entire NFL, if not No. 1 overall.”

* - Smith had 1.5 sacks against the Packers in the Wild Card round of the 2013 NFL Playoffs.

Q: What will be the 49ers biggest obstacle in 2015?

Pelissero: “I think the division is going to be really tough. I think that Seattle might be the most complete team from a personnel perspective in the NFL, and then they go out and trade for Jimmy Graham. That’s pretty good. They’ve got six guys making $10 million or more for a reason. Then you have St. Louis, who is a team that nobody in the league wants to play because they’re so tough, especially in that defensive front. Now they have a quarterback in Nick Foles so maybe they’ll be able to put some things together offensively. I perceive them as being a playoff contender. I think Arizona might be hurt more than people realize by Todd Bowles departing to the New York Jets because I think as their defensive coordinator, he did so much to cover up their injuries last season. Now they have Carson Palmer back and a lot of weapons on that offense. Having said that, I don’t think that the 49ers should be perceived as a team that’s not going to potentially be a factor.”

Q: What needs to happen in order for the 49ers to be successful in 2015?

Pelissero: “A lot of it rides on Colin Kaepernick. I talked with (general manager) Trent Baalke earlier today and he told me that in his opinion, Kaepernick is right on schedule in terms of the trajectory that you want to see in a young quarterback. The book on Kaepernick around the league has been to keep him in the pocket and make him go through his reads because when he gets out, that’s when he can really kill you. One thing that the 49ers are going to have to be able to do is protect for him. … You’ve basically got one offensive lineman back in the same spot in Joe Staley. Some of those guys, the Marcus Martins of the world are going to have to step up to the challenge and solidify that line. Otherwise, Kaepernick is going to have to lean on his athletic ability to get out quickly and try to cover that up. You can’t do that 30 snaps a game.”

Q: What is your overall outlook for the 49ers this season?

Pelissero: “There’s a reason why I don’t count out the 49ers, and that’s Colin Kaepernick. There are teams in this league that I can look at right now and say, ‘These are not playoff teams because they don’t have a quarterback.’ We’ve seen Kaepernick do it. He’s taken a team to a Super Bowl and two other NFC Championship games. You know the physical ability is there. You know that he’s putting in the time. It’s just: Can he evolve as a quarterback? He’s got the arm, he’s got the stature you look for, now he just has to put it all together. If he plays up to his capabilities, there’s no reason to think the 49ers can’t rebound from the year they had last year.”

 

[Los Angeles]

The oline is gonna get kaep killed

 

[red80]

what if told you there would be a rookie wide receiver out of alabama that would become a star in the NFL for his bay area team... only its not the guy you're thinking of 

 

[wooster]

 Chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill.....

 

[townbidness]

So we got El Guapo, now El Deuce

 

[red80]

he's just got to stay healthy. that's his kryptonite.

 

[ii flash ii]

2. The Colin-Kaepernick-Torrey-Smith connection. Smith keeps getting open during team drills and Kaepernick keeps missing him. First, Smith ran a drag route and Kaepernick threw the ball behind him. Then Smith ran another drag route and Kaepernick threw the ball too far in front of him. Finally, Kaepernick threw a deep pass to Smith, who was open – he had beaten Shareece Wright by a step or two. Offensive coordinator Geep Chryst and Steve Logan both muttered, "We've got it!" when Kaepernick released the ball. But the pass landed well short. Kaepernick threw off his back foot. Smith had no chance.

 

[thasoleful1]

All this tempo talk sounds like we're running some Chip Kelly type of offense

 

[ii flash ii]

Yuppp... Tomsula said he wants to break huddles with 23+ seconds left

I feel like we have the personnel to run a fast tempo offense... But at that means that the defense can also be on the field a lot depending on how the offense does

 

[red80]

Tomsula is no dummy.

It's insanely frustrating that Harbaugh refused to acknowledge that getting to the line with 7 seconds was a detriment and exacerbated an already anemic offense.
