@HHbrown87331 @hashbrowne @49ers @NFLAUNZ Factually wrong statement. I think you meant havent won a “Super Bowl” 30 years. So tired of fanatics and their hot, wrong, and emotional takes. Yeesh.

I find Nick‘s posts to be the most factual objective and informational posts on the 49ers.

Notes and observations from #49ers practice No. 17:

- Including two players on PUP -- RB Isaac Guerendo, DL Mykel Williams -- the Niners were without a whopping 23 players in today's final full practice of training camp.

- The new additions to the list, including a few names of guys who have missed time before today: WR Mike Evans (groin), WR Jacob Cowing (groin), G Dominick Puni (concussion), CB Upton Stout (hip flexor). Kyle Shanahan said Puni had some residual carry over from his concussion symptoms after returning to practice on Sunday. Puni will likely have to go back into the protocol. Shanahan indicated Evans, Cowing and Stout should be back to practice next week before leaving for Australia.

- On DE Nick Bosa (tendinitis), Shanahan said he's doing well and the hope is to have him back in practice in some capacity next week as well.

- Shanahan also said QB Kurtis Rourke (three broken ribs), G Robert Jones (calf) and OL Austen Pleasants (knee) have a shot to be back on the field next week as well.

- Here's the full list of non participants today:

- Bosa, Evans, Cowing, Stout, Puni, Rourke, Jones, Pleasants, DE Romello Height (ankle), LB Nick Martin (hamstring), CB Renardo Green (hamstring), LB Jalen Graham, WR Wesley Grimes (hand), DT Gracen Halton (ankle), LB Luke Gifford (hamstring), FB Kyle Juszczyk (broken finger), OL Brett Toth (concussion), WR Christian Kirk (calf), S Malik Mustapha (hamstring), OT Vederian Lowe (ankle), CB Nate Hobbs (groin)

Players on PUP: Guerendo (pec), Williams (ACL)

- Given all of that, Shanahan indicated there won't be hardly any starters playing against the Raiders on Thursday. It'll likely look similar to the Titans game as the Niners look toward the regular season.

- TE George Kittle followed a similar blueprint as Sunday, taking part in individual drills in pads like everyone else but nothing in team periods. He did some work on the side during that but continues to look good in the drills he's doing.

- LB Dre Greenlaw took a path like Kittle's today where he didn't do much of anything in team. Niners clearly trying to get him through to the regular season.

- That's opened up a lot of opportunities for other LBs to make an impression. One guy the Niners seem to want a longer look at given the injury situation: LB Larry Worth III. Worth got some more work today and had a nice pass breakup on a pass from QB Mac Jones for TE Jake Tonges.

- WR De'Zhaun Stribling was in a blue no-contact jersey today and had another productive practice despite some of his defensive teammates ignoring the "no contact" part of the equation. Stribling made a great over-the-shoulder grab on a deep ball from QB Brock Purdy and held on to it with CB Jack Jones and S Marques Sigle all over him. He had another nice grab on the sideline with Jones swiping at it for a chunk of yards. A take: Stribling doesn't need to play on Thursday night. At all.

- RB Christian McCaffrey's fresh legs are still evident. He had a handful of would-be explosive runs and caught a dart from Purdy over the middle that would have gone for a big gain.

- DT Osa Odighizuwa continues to dominate inside on a regular basis. I know some will point to the Niners uncertainty at guard (especially with Puni out) and that's fair but 92 is clearly their best interior rusher and should offer a substantial upgrade over what they had last year inside. Had him down for multiple sacks and would-be pressures in team period.

- Speaking of the guys upfront, we did get another round of 1v1 pass rush today. Some notes from that... DT James Thompson Jr. does nothing but win in these. Today, he had clean wins against Nick Zakelj and Doug Kramer Jr., the latter of which was one of the most impressive reps Thompson has had in camp. I say again: would be surprised if Thompson doesn't make the roster... Hat tip to OT Brandon Parker, who has had some struggles in this camp but strung together a few solid reps today... G Carver Willis had a rough go here today, losing decisively and quickly to DT C.J. West and DT Bryson Eason... Some good work from C Jake Brendel against West and C Drake Nugent against Evan Anderson and Eason. Growing more intrigued with Nugent as the possible backup C the closer we get to the cut to 53, especially with Toth still out.

- Sigle had an interception on a pass from Purdy for WR Demarcus Robinson. The throw was a little high, tipped off Robinson's hands and Sigle made a nice play on it for the pick.

- Purdy otherwise had another solid day, finding TE Luke Farrell for a couple of touchdowns in the red zone, completing what looked like a no look pass to WR KhaDarel Hodge and dropping one in to McCaffrey over LB Fred Warner and in front of LB Jaden Dugger for a big gain.

- Some more defensive highlights: Deommodore Lenoir got to move around a bit more today and had a nice PBU early against Farrell... Had DE Sam Okuayinonu and DE Keion White down for would-be sacks/pressures... LB Garret Wallow, who also got some extra ops with Greenlaw not in team, had a PBU against Tonges... Dugger got his hand on a ball that nearly went for a big completion to Stribling but Dugger got enough of it to force the incompletion.

- The Niners have a walkthrough on Wednesday, game Thursday and then the weekend off to trim the roster to 53 by Sunday. The decisions won't be easy and so much will depend on injuries. Could be a lot of juggling with vested veterans being released and brought back so others can go to IR, etc.

-- Names we're watching here as guys who could be involved in some of that juggling: Kirk, Lowe, Jones, Hobbs, Martin, Toth. Also, wouldn't be surprised to see Williams and Guerendo remain on PUP. With new rules allowing them to come back to practice as soon as Week 3, it would just make sense.

- Obviously, plenty more to come this season but that'll do it for these long practice reports for this season. Appreciate all of you who took the time to read even parts of them. Thanks and have a good Tuesday.

@plau165 @WarriorNationCP @joevardon Well, hello Mr. Sunshine! Your irrational hate on Curry makes me think your team has not won 4 chips in the last 12 years. He has changed the game (according to, you know, NBA players). And warriors fans (like most) are overreactive and spoiled. Gonna be a tough year for the Dubs

@ExMachina498 @Twolfrecovery Dumb dumb. We PASS our audits - thereby proof of no theft or fraud. The pentagon and our armed forces cannot say the same thing. Your priors are preventing you from being able to think critically. Get smart!

@Twolfrecovery You stuck on socialism. One hit wonder you are…almost like you have brain rot! Oh the irony!

@Twolfrecovery @EndWokeness When did the Bay Area become socialist? And when/how was it beat back? Be specific. Strange man…

Young white males are disproportionately represented in acts of mass shootings & domestic terrorism.

They comprise 7% to 9% of the total U.S. population yet they account for 52% of all mass shootings in America.

Notably, this demographic is often not perceived as violent or dangerous to society, whereas young black males have been inaccurately portrayed as the embodiment of violence and subjected to racist sterotypes & excessive policing.
