Jerry McDonald has been with the Bay Area News Group for more than 30 years, with a heavy concentration of NFL football since the Raiders returned to Oakland in 1995. His all-time favorite athlete is a right-handed pitcher at Division III Linfield College in Oregon.
Rookies Renardo Green and Tatum Bethune celebrate after Green recovered a fumble against the Tennessee Titans in the preseason opener.SANTA CLARA — Kyle Shanahan is so exasperated at the performance of his rookies in recent years that he junked a scheduled walkthrough before the New Orleans game so they could practice on their own.
Dominick Puni, a third-round pick out of Kansas, has been the starter at right guard since the first practice with returnees Spencer Burford and Jon Feliciano sidelined with injuries.Colin Kaepernick has potential option to return to NFL as a coach, according to Jim Harbaugh “I saw a young kid that played a lot and played two spots in the same game,” Sorensen said. “It wasn’t perfect, but some of the stuff he did was really competitive.”At 6-foot-5, 313 pounds, Puni has more than held his own with the first team. He could end up starting or split time with a veteran as line coach Chris Foerster did with Burford and Feliciano.
“The key thing is they don’t go in the tank, that you don’t lose them,” running backs coach Bobby Turner said after the injury. “It was a big letdown, the first thing that came out of my mouth is it’s a temporary setback. When you’re number is called again, go after it.”Slowed by a hamstring strain early in camp, Cowing is beginning to come out of his shell and had an excellent practice Friday that included a seam reception with full extension.
“He’s got to work on his anchor and things like that inside,” Foerster said. “There’s pluses and minuses at both positions for him. So he’s got to make up some space at guard to get better there.”
