  The big wheels of the anti-Kaepernick machine keep rolling. In an item that sounds a little like our recent PFT item but that in many ways is fundamentally different, Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com shares under the cloak of anonymity more criticism of Kaepernick’s football habits. And, at a time when the 49ers have recently apologized…

• 49ers 2011 special teams ranks among best of past 30 years

  22-06-2017 22:35 via ninersnation.com
  
  We’ll just overlook that one game. The San Francisco 49ers of the early Jim Harbaugh era were known for a dominant defense and a great offensive line. One area that was a little all over the place was special teams. We saw Ted Ginn thoroughly dominate, we saw David Akers struggle, and of course, well, Kyle Williams is all I need to say.
  Football Outsiders is putting together a look at the best teams of the past 30 years, and earlier this week, they ranked out the best special teams units d

• 49ers roster breakdowns, 90-in-90: OL Darrell Williams

  22-06-2017 20:15 via ninersnation.com
  
  Breaking down the 90 players on the 49ers offseason roster in 90 posts (over 90 or so days). We move on to offensive lineman Darrell Williams. Each year, we run a series of post called "90-in-90" here at Niners Nation. The idea is that we'll take a look at every single player on the roster, from the very bottom to the top and break them down a few different ways. This is to help give everyone a basic understanding of a roster. Of course, this roster will change, and some days we'll have more tha

• 49ers bubble watch: Wide receiver position comes down to two spots

  22-06-2017 19:01 via ninersnation.com
  
  The San Francisco 49ers have questions at almost every position while they work to figure out their 53-man roster. We’ll break down the bubble watch for each one. Today we look at wide receivers. The San Francisco 49ers wrapped up minicamp last week, and return for training camp in just over five weeks. The roster appears to be just about set, so with that in mind, it is time to re-visit the bubble watch. The offseason workout program does not lock in most roster spots, and that is even mo

• Derek Carr gets $25 million per year, $40 million fully guaranteed

  22-06-2017 17:47 via ninersnation.com
  
  A few quarterbacks will be looking for new deals soon. The Oakland Raiders and Derek Carr officially agreed on a new contract, with the quarterback tweeting out the news Thursday morning. National media were quickly reporting the deal is for five years, and worth $125 million. The $25 million APY is officially the highest in NFL history.
  Of course, as we have learned from virtually every NFL contract ever written, the APY is a mostly pointless number. The real news is how much guaranteed money a

• How will the 49ers rotate on the defensive line?

  22-06-2017 16:35 via ninersnation.com
  
  The 49ers have added a lot of defensive line depth, but Jeff Zgonina’s philosophy suggests plenty of playing time for all. The San Francisco 49ers have invested heavily in the defensive line in recent years, and defensive line coach Jeff Zgonina seems excited about the rotation possibilities. Jennifer Chan had his thoughts on rotations, and his expectation that DeForest Buckner will not have to play over 1,000 snaps like he did as a rookie.

• 49ers strength of schedule based on Las Vegas win totals

  22-06-2017 15:01 via ninersnation.com
  
  Oddsmakers offer up a different look at strength of schedule. When the 2016 NFL season ended, one of the first things discussed for non-playoff teams is 2017 strength of schedule. The full slate of opponents for each team is known once the regular season ends, and the most common tool used to discuss SOS uses 2016 combined win/loss percentage of 2017 opponents. The 49ers rank No. 20 in that category, with their 2017 opponents having a .475 win percentage last season.
  While that measurement gives

• 49ers wish you a Happy International Yoga Day

  22-06-2017 02:00 via ninersnation.com
  
  Apparently today is International Yoga Day. Who knew! I found out courtesy of the San Francisco 49ers, who tweeted out some video of the team doing what appears to be a mixture of stretching and yoga.
  I tried yoga briefly several years ago. I went for a couple weeks, and just could not get into it. I think the patience required was not for me. I like running and other activities like that, and yoga just doesn’t get me going.

Over the past couple years, Emory University has produced a study that looks atNFL fan bases and ranked them using a variety of factors. In the past, it looked at money spent going to home games and social media interaction. This year, they added a look at how teams draw on the road to add a little more utility to the rankings.
