For a moment Wednesday DeForest Buckner Jersey , it must have seemed like Nathan Peterman slipped across the Bay.No, it was actually just Jimmy Garoppolo.According to Matt Maiocco of NBCSportsBayArea.com, the 49ers quarterback threw interceptions on five straight attempts in practice.“The defense did great today, and obviously he struggled,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said. “You hope to never have a day like. . . So when you do that, you hope that you practice long enough to give him a chance to play out of it.”That could have meant for a long practice, but Garoppolo did break the skid with a touchdown pass, but not before defensive teammates Jaquiski Tartt, Tarvarius Moore Garry Gilliam Color Rush Jersey , Richard Sherman, Ahkello Witherspoon, and Moore again were on the receiving end of passes.“Sometimes it’s hard to make the right decisions when you’re fired up and competitive,” Shanahan said. “Usually, you make a bad play, it makes your mind go a little sideways.“That’s why sometimes it is a good situation to put guys when that does happen. You try to protect them in a game, but in practice it’s the exact opposite. When there’s an issue, you kind of poke at it a little bit more to see how guys react.”Today, Garoppolo reacted. Poorly.

They rolled the dice on former Tampa Bay Buccaneer Kwon Alexander, by signing him to a 4-year, $54 million deal in March. Alexander tore his ACL in Week 7 of 2018. He also has been known to miss tackles at a high rate. All of this has led to quite a bit of backlash in signing Alexander.Earlier this week, defensive coordinator Robert Saleh updated the injury status on Alexander. The speedy linebacker is expected to be ready for training camp. That was a pleasant surprise. While his tackling is easy to focus on, Alexander brings plenty of value to the table for the 49ers. Fans will love the effort and intensity of Alexander. There will be a noticeable difference in athleticism as well. Alexander complements Fred Warner well. If healthy, the two will be a solid duo.Basic infoAge: 24Experience: 4 accrued seasonsHeight: 6’1Weight: 227Cap StatusKwon Alexander signed a four-year, $54 million contract with the 49ers. Alexander received $27.5 million in injury guarantees, $14.25 million of which is guaranteed at signing. The full guarantee is made up of an $8.5 million roster bonus, $4 million signing bonus Arik Armstead Jersey , and $1.75 million base salary in 2019. If Alexander is on the roster on April 1, 2020, his $11.25 million injuries guaranteed salary will vest to a full guarantee. There are annual per game bonuses of $750,000.What to expect in 2019Variance. That’s just who Alexander is. There will be plays where he avoids a block and makes an excellent tackle for loss. Then there will be plays where Alexander is trying to beat the running back to the sideline, and over-pursues, leading to a missed tackle. He’s a fun player that flies around the field with high energy. A little chaotic, but Alexander tends to cause chaos for the offense as well. One area Alexander excels at is blitzing the quarterback. Hopefully, Robert Saleh uses Alexander to his advantage.One thing to keep an eye onFor as athletic as Alexander is, he tends to struggle in coverage. I’m not sure if it’s an awareness issue Frank Gore Color Rush Jersey , but he’s a little too reactive. Alexander gave up 216 yards in six games last year, and 128 of those were after the catch. He’ll need to put himself in a better position to limit the big play. Again, it’ll be on Saleh—I know, I know—to have the correct sub-package. Perhaps this is where a player like Dre Greenlaw, or if another defensive back emerges, can step in and help if Alexander shows no improvement in coverage.
