Golden Nuggets: Jim Tomsula's turf

So it looks like the 49ers beat writers are just as excited as the fans are with the start of Training Camp. There's only been two practices, but news and articles are pouring in like Moses just ended the parting of the Red Sea. We have a lot of links to sift through here from issues with the Levi's sod (again), to Tomsula's practice style, to Aldon Smith looking really good. So I won't waste any more of your time with preamble. Get reading!
