2 min read
Wednesday wrapped up the 49ers second block of training camp practices, which was highlighted by 1-on-1 drills, full-team work and a red zone period to close out the session. Here are we few observations from the practice:
– One of the standout plays of the session was a pass from Trey Lance as the quarterback hit tight end George Kittle deep for a 40-yard pickup.
– Three plays earlier, Lance hit a wide-open Ross Dwelley for a 35-yard catch-and-run during full team work.
– Arik Armstead and Jordan Willis both recorded “would-be” sacks during the team’s first 11-on-11 period.
Richie James held on to a contested pass in the back of the end zone on a ball from Garoppolo.
Thomas had an impressive showing during the period, recording two PBU’s on passes intended for Austin Watkins Jr. and Aiyuk in the back of the end zone.
Jimmie Ward also broke up a touchdown on a throw intended for Aiyuk.
– The team closed out the session with full-team red zone drills. Here are a few notes from the exercise:
Garoppolo faked a handoff and connected with Kittle for an 8-yard touchdown.
Lance found the end zone of all four of his red zone drill reps, including a 12-yard touchdown to Jordan Matthews, a pass to Nsimba Webster in the back right corner of the end zone and a rushing touchdown of his own.
