As the 2012 NFL season is less than 100 days away, teams have begun OTAs and continue to prepare for training camp this summer.

Two special teams' blunders and a few passes later and the San Francisco 49ers found their outstanding 2011-2012 NFL season over.A For the first time in over a decade the 49ers were once against on top of their division, the NFC West, finishing the regular season with a 13-3 record.A Furthermore, the Niners dominated conference opponents going 10-2 ...

The team devoted most of their draft to upgrading the offensive line and playmakers.

Public perception in March was that the San Francisco 49ers became a late or stealthy entry into the Peyton Manning Sweepstakes and actively pursued the four-time MVP in free agency.

The first time Brandon Jacobs won a Super Bowl, he ballooned to 285 pounds and started losing his trademark leg strength for the New York Giants.

The San Francisco 49ers ran away with the NFC West in 2011, becoming the first NFL team to clinch its division before finishing a distant five games ahead of the second-place Arizona Cardinals.

While Gore is determined to do his part to duplicate San Francisco's special comeback season of 2011, he has other motivation, too: The defending NFC West champions already have a busy backfield, and Gore will get a daily push from backup Kendall Hunter, newly signed Brandon Jacobs and rookie second-round pick LaMichael James.

The question begs to be asked: What's a nice running back like Jewel Hampton doing in a place like San Francisco? Hampton, after all, was a well-regarded undrafted free agent whose post-draft suitors included the Colts, Buccaneers and Eagles.

SANTA CLARA – When Brandon Jacobs dreams of the upcoming season, he envisions shoulder pads crunching, helmets cracking and defensive linemen giving ground along the line of scrimmage.

Fans of the San Francisco 49ers have learned a lot about the team this offseason after a roller-coaster ride through free agency, the NFL draft and the Peyton Manning fiasco.

Four months later, Kyle Williams is drawing "some degree" of motivation from some painful memories: his two botched punt returns in the 49ers' NFC Championship game defeat.

The San Francisco 49ers have quite the situation on offense. They had a great rushing attack last season with RB Frank Gore and RB Kendall Hunter leading the way.

As I stated in a previous article , the San Francisco 49ers may run into potential problems in the backfield.

"Explosive" is the word that aptly describes former Virginia Tech running back and New York Giants first-round draft selection David Wilson , a 5'10", 206-pound blur that can change the game with one play because of his rare blend of speed, balance and power.

Good morning, blogslaves. Ninjames back for another edition of the Nuggets. Not feeling very "intro-ey" today so I'm going to make this quick before getting to the links.

After posting an astonishing 13 wins last season, this team is all but certain to fulfill another successful back-to-back in 2012.
