Your San Francisco 49ers links for Tuesday Dante Pettis Jersey , April 23rd, 2019"*Editors Note from Kyle*These are up a little later this morning as I was locked out of my computer last night and couldn’t get to these nuggets. Ikaros was kind enough to do the nuggets for this morning and it’s silly to waste this!John Lynch held a pre-draft press conference where he addressed a wide range of topics from the passing of area scout Reggie Cobb to learning from mistakes like the drafting of Reuben Foster and Joe Williams. One thing that was asked during the press conference is when Robbie Gould is expected to report. In short, John Lynch doesn’t know. He just knows that Gould will be there for the season opener. While the lack of a return date does make one worry, I think you have to consider Gould’s veteran status and the trust that the 49ers have in him to be ready to step in whenever it is that he does show up.https://www.sfchronicle.com/49ers/articl...4.php?psid=rzIp | Eric Branch, San Francisco Chroniclehttps://www.nbcsports.com/bayar...l-return-kicker | Matt Maiocco, NBC SportsAnother topic that was brought up is what went into scouting Nick Bosa, specifically referencing things done on social media. Lynch brushed off the social media stuff and spoke about how well he gets along with teammates. Personally, I doubt that Bosa is racist. I just think he’s young and a little sheltered from the crueler side of life.https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/...-media-activity | Matt Maiocco, NBC SportsWatching the press conference, I really got a feeling that Lynch has Bosa at the top of his draft board, but he was quick to heap praise on Quinnen Williams. It could be smoke to maybe influence the cards to take him so Bosa falls Fred Warner Jersey , or he genuinely wants to draft the guy. I don’t know, I just think it seems a little superfluous to even consider drafting him.https://www.sacbee.com/sports/nfl/san-fr...e229553639.html | Chris Biderman, The Sacramento BeeAlong the lines of hyping up prospects, here’s an article about Lynch’s views on Kyler Murray.https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/...-2019-nfl-draft | Jennifer Lee Chan, NBC SportsAnd a couple more articles about topics covered in Lynch’s press conference.https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/04/22/4...covered-monday/ | Cam Inman, The Mercury Newshttps://www.sacbee.com/sports/nfl/sa...e229556914.html | Chris Biderman, The Sacramento BeeJoe Staley had a chance to talk to the media recently.

(AP) — Long before Nick Mullens took the field as an NFL quarterback, he prepared for the moment he’d play in a loud road stadium by downloading crowd noise and blaring it on his headphones as he practiced calling out plays in his apartment.That preparation will be put to the test this week when Mullens makes his second career road start for the San Francisco 49ers at Seattle in front of the loudest road crowd in the league.“I’ve played in a lot of the most prominent stadiums in the country as far as college football goes,” said Mullens, who pointed to games in college at Nebraska, Alabama and LSU as the most challenging crowds he’s faced.“Obviously, it has the reputation that it has in CenturyLink, and it’s going to be cool to play there.”Mullens’ first road start for the 49ers (2-9) wasn’t a successful one. He went 18 for 32 for 221 yards with one touchdown, two interceptions and four sacks in a 27-9 loss to Tampa Bay last week. There were a handful of issues with hearing the play call from coach Kyle Shanahan in his helmet headset and Mullens had to rush to the sideline once to get the play and burn two timeouts on other occasions.Mullens had his lowest marks in yardage Ahkello Witherspoon Jersey , completion percentage and passer rating out of his three career starts as the Niners struggled to get much of anything going against a defense that has been the worst in the league at defending against the pass.“It was very frustrating,” Mullens said. “We just never got on a rhythm. But, you watch the film and you see where you can improve and that’s why we’re so excited about this week.”Mullens had a record-setting debut against Oakland when he joined Hall of Famers Jim Kelly and Fran Tarkenton as the only players with at least 250 yards passing, three touchdown passes and no interceptions in their first career game. He also had the most efficient debut since the merger for a player with at least 20 attempts, posting a 151.9 rating in the 34-3 win.He followed that up by throwing four interceptions and two touchdowns in losses to the Giants and Tampa Bay and now must face a much more difficult defense and a more challenging environment in Seattle.“I think Nick handles pressure pretty well,” Shanahan said. “He handled it well in Tampa. We just didn’t play very good. So, there’s a difference in that. Nick’s been the same guy since he’s been here. I don’t think he’s going to freak out just because it’s loud. Whether you do good or bad doesn’t mean that you freaked out or you were poised. It’s harder. It’ll be more of a challenge. We’ll practice all week at it. The better he plays, the better we play around him, the easier the challenge will be.”NOTES: WR Marquise Goodwin remains away from the team to tend to an undisclosed personal matter. … C Weston Richburg (knee) and T Joe Staley (veteran) also missed practice, while DB D.J. Reed (foot) will miss the game this week.
