Lee earned first-team AP All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors in his eighth season out of Pittsburgh, he ranks second in NFL history with both a net average of 38.9 yards per punt and a gross average of 45.7 yards per punt. Not only did Lee lead the league last season in net average (44.0, ahead of the Saints’ Thomas Morstead at 43.1) and gross average (50.9, ahead of the Raiders’ Shane Lechler at 50.8), but he also held on every one of David Akers’ field-goal and point-after attempts. Akers set a league record in field-goals made (44), field-goals attempted (52) and points by a kicker (166). Lee is the 49ers’all-time leader in punting yards (33,069) and gross average (45.7). He started last season with the second-highest punting average ever in an NFL game, booming five punts for a net average of 54.2 yards, in an exhibition game against the Raiders, Lee injured his hip when he fell on it awkwardly after a botched field-goal attempt.

But the way we hear it, it appears the job is now Alex Boone’s to lose. “He’s with the starting group now, and it looks like they are going to see whether or not he can make the transition,” a daily team observer said of Boone, who had turned himself into an extremely serviceable backup swing tackle after entering the league out of Ohio State as an undisciplined and out-of-shape undrafted rookie. “At 6-8 with long arms, he seems like the prototypical tackle. But he plays real low and his foot speed isn’t real great, which could make him better-suited for guard.” Source: ProFootball Weekly (http://www.profootballweekly.com/2012/05/22/boone-front-runner-at-right-guard-for-niners)

That puts his 2012 in serious jeopardy. Fleming, a 6-foot-1, 245-pounder from Notre Dame suffered the injury in a non-contact drill, coming down on his knee awkwardly, he attempted to continue doing drills, but quickly realized his knee was giving out and he had an MRI, which confirmed the injury. Simms said Fleming tore only the ACL, not any other ligaments, which may lead to an uncomplicated recovery. The assumption is that he’ll be on the sidelines for his rookie season, but the 49ers are keeping their options open. Fleming signed his contract the day before the injury, inking a four-year deal worth a reported $2.264 million.

Smith has been meeting with Tom House, a motion specialist and former major league pitcher, to correct ”two mechanical flaws” in his motion during the offseason, and it appears that the results are encouraging. Even a slightly improved Alex Smith would go a long way in the team’s offense, especially when you consider that they’ve added a number of weapons to their roster during the offseason.
