2020 49ers Training Camp Thread

Was just watching the Nathans hot dog contest and Mike Golic gave Kyle a cheap shot. With Chestnut leading by about 25 hot dogs with 2 minutes to go Golic said he would need a Shanahan collapse to lose now.

Perhaps Kyle should follow the trajectory of all the great teams Mike Golic played on.

If they want to limit 11 on 11 activities in training camp, just end it.

That doesn't sound good. Already they're changing normal routines and cutting back. The players want zero pre season games. Throw in interruptions for players that are going to test positive and you have to wonder what kind of season they expect to have.

How does limiting 11 on 11 really prevent the spread? And if you don't want to even hold practice, how are you really going to play games?

Exactly. Just end it. I hate when nonsense recommendations are made.

I guess they're trying to keep groups of players down to smaller sizes. I agree that i don't see the point. If they can't do 11 on 11 then how can they have games?

Need to go to flag football for a year.

Outside of New England, there is not a team in the NFL that wouldn't trade head coaches with us. That includes the Chiefs. They are all Patrick Mahomes.

That dude took a trash roster and turned it into the league's best in ~3 years. Literally every team would sign up for that kind of turnaround.

People will hate because he's now a household name and regularly playing in contests most of their teams can only dream of.

Although I wouldn't trade Shanahan for anyone else to be HC I beg to differ Pats are the only team who wouldn't trade their head coach for KS. I'm sure Chiefs definitely wouldn't trade Reid for Shanny and same for Saints with Payton. Seahags would say they for sure wouldn't take him over Carrol but they're myopic. Every other team besides those 4 would most likely prefer Shanny over their current HC.

The current NFL rules are pretty much *like* flag football - as compared to our dynasty years. I was looking at the NBA season - and their season is shot, and MLB, I think their season is shot too. I don't know, I'm not really either a Basketball or Baseball fan, but clearly their season is being affected by this virus. It wouldn't be unreasonable to think the NFL's season would be affected too - and my worry is when the next flu season comes around in November, which is basically the heart of the NFL season when playoff teams are being determined. I'm still hopeful though, but continuing stories of the NFL drastically changing the training cap rules and *cancelling* pre-season games does not give me confidence we'll have an actual NFL season.

I don't like the numbers I'm hearing coming out of other sports camps. They are just starting and already getting large numbers with some players opting out. I also read a report that some doctors think the COVID anti bodies may only keep you immune for a short time like other coronaviruses. Not sure if that means weeks or months.

some delays are going to happen.

3 weeks to announce they'll cancel the season.

I expect they're likely to push the opening back a couple times before they cancel the season. They're hoping that something miraculous happens.

I am too.

Can't wait to finally read some real football news other than will the season be canceled or not
