49ers Training Camp: Chris Mortensen's report from camp

For those who aren't aware, ESPN is sending Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen to every NFL training camp over the course of 19 days. They've basically split the country in half with Schefter starting on the East Coast, and Mortensen beginning on the West Coast. Today, Mortensen was down in Santa Clara covering the 49ers camp. It's airing on each episode of Sportscenter if you get a moment to check it out.

It's actually going to be on ESPN in the next 5 minutes or so. Consider this an open thread for those who have a moment to watch it on Sportscenter. If you miss it during this 10am Sportscenter, the 11am Sportscenter will likely have a repeat of it. As it airs I'll use this to post what Mortensen has to say about the 49ers. It's going to following Giants highlights.

Update
They opened with a quick rundown of the 49ers big storylines this offseason. Given how solid the D was last year, it shouldn't be surprising that the top three story lines were:

1. Drafting Anthony Davis and Mike Iupati to bolster the offensive line.
2. Michael Crabtree having a full offseason with the team
3. Addition of Ted Ginn Jr.

UN-[SITE DECORUM]-BELIEVABLE! They open the 49ers camp visit discussing Brett Favre. I hate the man.

Finally, on to the 49ers. The big issue they discuss is "Alex Smith expectations." The addition of Davis/Iupati should make life easier for Smith. He discusses Frank Gore and then the other offensive weapons added (notably Ginn and Kyle Williams), but then wraps by saying it will be a blue collar football team.

It's safe to say that was the biggest waste of 2 minutes in my life. ESPN, you're killing me.

I tweeted him and he responded

he said: Yes, but don’t expect much w/him @ WR

I think he’s saying to the layman, casual NFL fan that Ginn wont haul in a ton of passes. I kept trying to get him to agree that Ginn will have an unsung impact keeping safety honest, thus freeing up other receivers and helping relax run defense.

I like Mort…he must not get enough time to prepare anything original, instead focusing on the well known storylines (although they are fluid and often outdated by the time national pundits talk about them)

storylines

I haven’t seen any of the other reports so I guess I have nothing with which to compare. He mentioned the team was high on Kyle Williams. Otherwise it really did only last no more than 2 minutes.

by David Fucillo on Aug 4, 2010 10:38 AM PDT up reply actions  

point being

don’t just recap yesterday’s news before camp started and we started learning something. The recent news on Ginn is that he’s being worked in as WR more and more. Raye and Alex Smith want Ginn to take the top off of defenses…so saying the 49ers are really just looking for a return man out of Ginn is a bit outdated.

He should be detailing the interesting details he’s witnessing in camp, stuff that people might find interesting, new developments, etc.

one thing to keep in mind

Whereas the beat writers see the developments from day to day, Mortensen swoops in one day, does his thing, then leaves that same day. You’d think he’d sit down with the beat writers for quick briefing, but who knows if there’s time for it. Obviously it’s shoddy reporting, but ESPN has seemed to slide down that hill

by David Fucillo on Aug 4, 2010 11:19 AM PDT up reply actions  

yeah, I like Mort though

he’s pretty genuine. but it’s probably not entirely his fault. He’s got people who are supposed to brief him on stuff, storylines, etc. I think that ESPN has gotten lazy and is only catering to the casual fan for the most part.

That's news though...

…about Williams. A lot of people had him picked as a sleeper in the draft and now news that the 9ers are high on him. Could spell doom for Jones and pit Hill against Ziegler for the final spot, unless of course they go with 6 WRs (which would probably mean losing either a 2nd FB, 3rd TE or 9th OL).

Post made me laugh though. Starting the 9ers camp conversation with Brett Favre is so bad it is comical.

is going to be an interesting battle no matter how many of the 3 they keep (well, except keeping all 3)

so the Rachal dehydration did an interesting thing

as with Baas getting hurt put Iupati in the lineup as 1st team LG…now they move Snyder to RG and Davis plays RT with 1st team…so funny how things happen with the 49ers that allow the youngsters to find their way into the lineup…

interesting how something happens to a player that allows another into the lineup, usually permanently…like Isaac Bruce having to sit out some games and Crabtree starting right away, Baas getting the concussion, now Rachal with the dehydration. I know they are all legit things, but just saying it’s almost like the coaching staff uses them as opportunities to get the youngsters in the lineup without having to “give it to them”.

so to recap

if you want Iupati and Davis in with the 1’s this is what you’re cheering for (sorta, and you’re sick)…

1. Baas’ concussion keeps him out as much as possible, or at least until Iupati cements himself as a starter.

2. Chilo’s dehydration episode to sideline him long enough for Snyder to look good at RG (keeping Davis at RT)
AND
Heitmann’s stinger keeps Wragge at Center so Snyder can in turn stay at RG.

Maybe Snyder and Rachal become the battling RG’s so Davis stays at RT…then again Wragge is involved along with about 27 other guards.

Sigh…

The case for the national media

I have in the past been happy to criticise the national media in the States, since it sometimes seems that I know more about the comings and goings of the 49ers, way over here in the UK, than they do. But looking at these comments, I feel I ought to put the other side, especially since I work in the media so understand it.

When ESPN turn up at 49ers training, they are not broadcasting for you guys, the diehard Niners fans. They know that you feast on every spit and cough from the local guys and ESPN also know that they cannot compete with Maiocco, Barrows, etc for news on a team those guys cover year-round.

They are broadcasting the main Niners headlines to a national audience which doesn’t know the details and don’t care, probably.

How much do you really want to know about the Steelers camp, for instance? Every spit and cough, or a nice concise overview? That’s what ESPN are giving Steelers fans from the 49ers camp – new offensive line, can Smith do it finally, Vernon is good, Gore is still good, defense is good, Willis is great.

That’s probably enough for most people so that’s what they are giving them.

I agree with you.

Not every fan base is going to want to hear all the details. But the thing is, they have already covered this stuff like a million times. So has SI, Yahoo, CBS, etc. etc. You would think if they are spending the time and money to visit every single camp, they would take that time to talk about something, even just one thing, that hasn’t been covered time and again. I mean, isn’t that the point of being there and seeing it first hand? Give insight to people who can’t be there?

I want a REAL show for REAL fans

Not the pop Favre-watch, OchoCinco, T.O. Show suck-fests. I want real X-Os and serious insight.

NFL Network goes there during the season

with the Coache’s corner with Mooch on NFLTA

Far as I know there’s no tv show that’s just X’s and O’x because most fans don’t like that stuff.

I'd watch Tim and Pat just talk about football

and maybe have a greaseboard…I’d watch it for 3 hours…like watching Mike and Mike…but not…cause it would be entertaining.

yeah

they willingly discuss your team, anything you want to talk about. They talk about what position (or technique for DL’s) guys are best suited for, or what style they’re best suited for, how the matchups are favorable, stunts, blitzes, coverages…it’s freaking great.

tim and pat live from santa clara for 4 hours! I know they’ll shoot it straight about our chances this year, and i think there going to be pretty impressed by then. The team is getting a little better every practice which is great!

pipe the sound back into the mic jack and record it…I guess.

ESPN = EAST COAST BIAS Sports Network

The East Coast bias of ESPN is repugnant and shameful. I often cant stand watching how they talk up teams from New England and totally ignore teams in the south and most often the west. It is pathetic how obvious and shameless it is.

Another year, another chance to hope for the team !!

Thanks for the review

Now I won’t feel like I need to camp sportscenter.

I know what I'm talking about, I started at right guard for the 1992 College Park Falcons.
