Derek Who?
Willis had his best day of practice in a 49ers uniform. He drilled WR Brandon Williams, who came across the middle to catch a pass. Then, Willis made a big stop on RB Thomas Clayton. He showed perfect form on his tackles. His goal on every hit, he says is to “wrap and grab cloth.”

Gore Out with Broken Hand
From Maiocco:
Running back Frank Gore sustained a broken right hand during the morning practice. He is expected to miss at least a week with the injury. Coach Mike Nolan said Gore will be re-evaluated next Monday.
The bone is expected to take four weeks to heal, so it is uncertain if Gore will be play during [...]

- Probably, the summary of the day was that, as far you can judge by shorts and such, [...]

One More to Go, McDonald Signs
49ers.com is reporting that the 49ers and third-round pick DE Ray McDonald have agreed to terms. Terms of the contract were not announced by the team.
Wow…Just Wow
I’m not one to normally bite when someone writes something negative about the 49ers. But after reading an article some hack over at the Bleacher Report wrote predicting the 49ers would go 4-12. I couldn’t resist the temptation. The article itself is titled “Not so Fast: 49ers, Alex Smith Primed to Disappoint.” Now granted most [...]
