Lelie Ahead of Schedule / Frazier

Good news for Ashley Lelie.

The 49ers lost WR Ashley Lelie to a quad strain on the first day of minicamp, but his recovery is ahead of schedule and he's expected to be ready for the start of organized team activities on June 4. Team officials are hopeful that Lelie's health will hold to allow him to work more with QB Alex Smith and build rapport between the two.

This is a make or break year for Lelie. Hope he can get back up to speed and have a monster season with the Niners.

And Kalani Simpson takes a long hard look at Herman Frazier, comparing his time at UAB with his time at UH.

Frazier has faced some tough circumstances in both places, of course -- here, we know a few of those are at least partly self-inflicted, but tough circumstances nonetheless. But it was Bill Parcells who said, yes, you have injuries, you have bad bounces, you have bad luck. But in the end, Parcells said, You are what your record says you are. That's it. Bottom line.

This is Herman Frazier's record. Twice now.

He means well, and in his mind he's doing his best. But I'm starting to think that this is what happens when he does his best.

Well... let's hope this has all been a learning experience? Again?
