The week has come to a close and it is time to go around the NFC West to see what has been going on with the Arizona Cardinals’ division rivals. Let us begin with the San Francisco 49ers.
What are the stories from the last week that Cardinals fans should know about? Here are a few.
Training camp start date announced for 49ers
The Cardinals barely announced their training camp schedule last Monday. The 49ers still have not yet released their specific practice schedule but their report date has been announced. Rookies and veterans will report on July 26.
49ers fans still very good fans
It’s been a while since the 49ers were good. Ever since Jim Harbaugh left, it has been a struggle. That has not changed the quality of the fan base. According to one ranking, using a number of metrics, 49ers fans are still a top-10 group.
Marquise Goodwin wins speed tournament
It is well known that receiver Marquise Goodwin is fast. He proved how fast, winning the 40 Yards of Gold tournament. He defeated Donte Jackson for the $1 million prize.
Focus on trenches to improve
The 49ers have made several moves in the offseason to improve up front offensively and defensively. Niners Wire’s Kyle Madson breaks down why it is important.
Shuffles in secondary could pay off
Another injury to Jimmie Ward has put Tarvarius Moore back at his natural position at safety. They wanted to make him a cornerback. Madson writes that shift back to safety for Moore might pay off for the Niners.
