Day 2 of 49ers training camp belonged to the defense — more than Day 1. The offense looked like a work in progress, which is expected as Deebo Samuel continued to run along the side and Trent Williams was excused again.
Although Samuel didn’t practice, Trey Lance confirmed that Deebo has been participating in team meetings.
Arik Armstead wasn’t at practice, either. Defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans didn’t comment as to why. In his place, Charles Omenihu played 3-technique as opposed to a traditional defensive tackle. I found that interesting. It gives the defensive line the athletic edge and allows Ryans to get his guys on the move, causing confusion for the offensive line.
