Has 49ers’ culture survived the exodus? Nick Bosa’s treatment of rookie offers sign (paywall) “But once OTAs began, Collins was sidelined with a lingering calf injury that had yet to heal. He recently told the Chronicle that his weight, which at 6-foot-3 ballooned to 356 pounds during the pre-draft process, did not help matters: “All them damn 30 visits. Eating in the plane caught up to me a little bit.”….Bosa spoke up. Collins listened. And the rookie’s day-to-day habits changed dramatically.
Having targeted a playing weight between 320 and 325 pounds, Collins said he currently weighs 319 pounds.
“I think he’s had a really big impact on Alfred,” defensive coordinator Robert Saleh said of Bosa, “in terms of just his (recovery), his workout regimen, his eating regimen and all that. And because of it, Alfred has taken a major step over the last month in remaking his body.”
Saleh last week voiced surprise with how chatty Bosa’s been since his return. Prior to a four-year stint as Jets head coach, Saleh coached a young Bosa through his first two seasons in the NFL. Very talented. Not at all talkative. A textbook introvert.“
49ers QB Brock Purdy determined to remain authentic after lucrative contract
“I know my purpose, I know who I am,” Purdy said. “I come to work every single day ready to attack it as a quarterback for the 49ers. But also I want to push guys around me and understand what it takes to get to a championship game and now finish.”
Baldy: 49ers’ fate in NFC West hinges on one key factor “None of us know,” Baldinger said. “I don’t believe Christian knows. I don’t believe [head coach] Kyle [Shanahan] knows. I don’t think John Lynch knows. I don’t think anybody knows until he gets 10, 15 carries into the game on Sunday.”
