on a Monday Night Football contest Authentic K'Waun Williams jersey , but they are still talking about Nick Mullens’ near-record setting performance last Thursday to start his career. Cornerback Richard Sherman had some kind words to say on Monday from his Officialize page about how Mullens would be trying to dice them up at practice and just how hard the quarterback practiced in general. Wide receiver Pierre Gar莽on also chimed in from his Officialize page on about how Mullens’ play didn’t surprise him: One of the things that may have been concerning when Mullens began to take over the 49ers would be how the locker room would perceive everything in a possible controversy. C.J. Beathard had the respect of the locker room for his toughness, so moving Mullens in could damage the locker room in the same way Jim Harbaugh switching Alex Smith out for Colin Kaepernick damaged that locker room. Jennifer Lee Chan caught up with some 49ers about the “controversy” and apparently there isn’t anything dividing them. Ahkello Witherspoon said it best:I said it once and I’ll say it again. This locker room is something John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan got right.Donte Whitner thinks Solomon Thomas isn’t a scheme fit for 49ers One of the more disappointing players for the San Francisco 49ers has been defensive lineman Solomon Thomas. Drafted with the third overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft, Thomas has been solid at stopping the run but sub-par in his pass-rushing abilities. Thomas is by no means a bust Youth Joe Staley jersey , but he’s definitely not reached the high expectations set for a third overall pick. Former 49ers safety Donte Whitner was on KNBR’s Gary & Larry Podcast and had his own assessment to Thomas’ struggles—it’s not a schematic fit: The 49ers have been plugging Thomas all over the place it seems like and none of it has yielded anything more than good run stops. The 49ers experimented with putting him on the edge on run downs and kicking him inside on pass-rush downs (which was the plan for his senior year at Stanford until he declared for the 2017 NFL Draft). Thomas has had a difficulty getting to the quarterback, and it feels like something is off. On Friday, defensive coordinator Robert Saleh was asked for his evaluation of Thomas at this point. Specifically 49ers Arik Armstead Jersey , he was asked what went into deciding where he played along the line given some of his success inside.There’s still a lot of football to play until 2018 ends and the 49ers can take a look at themselves schematically, but until then, I’ll just leave this here:
