Despite having the day off, Hearst and Garcia couldn’t stay away. Both were at camp, not practicing. Hearst spent an inordinate amount of time with fans, even sitting with them for a bit. Much to the dismay of the large crowd, it was a non padded practice - meaning absolutely no contract.

Ty Wise was back on the training field, but Vinny Sutherland continued to nurse his injury.

With Garcia off, Tim Ratty got lots of time tossing the ball. Ratty looked the best he has all camp, but often stares down his receiver before throwing the ball. Meanwhile rookie Brandon Doman showed off his arm going down field several times quite nicely. Cade McNown was still struggling, learning the offense and to correct some of his bad mechanics.

Terry Jackson got some extra rushing time with Hearst sitting out. Jackson looked good, but simply can’t compare to Barlow or Hearst as a running back. Paul Smith continues to give Jackson a run for his money.

The 49ers also ran a few ‘reverses’ to Terrell Owens. The reverse used to be a key trick play with the 49ers, but over the past few years it has faded away, only making the rare appearance. Perhaps this is a sign of the more aggressive offense the team has been hyping.

With Garcia out, the defensive backs were licking their chops. Rookie Kevin Curtis recorded two interceptions, and both Williams and Holman looked quite good at defending the pass.

The held its first ever alumni barbeque and had a great turn out. Keena Turner, Steve Bono, Jesse Sapolu, Eric Wright and Guy McIntyre were all involved in its organization.
