@@@ Quinton Dial could play a big role in the 49ers defense this year (USA Today)Two weeks of training camp and two possible season-ending injuries for the 49ers. The first week, Kendall Hunter tore the ACL ligament in his knee. The next week, nose tackle Glenn Dorsey tore <a href=http://www.buycelinebags.com/celine-doctor-frame-42>Celine Doctor Frame Bags</a> his biceps tendon, one day after his 29th birthday. Add to that leg injuries to wide receivers Brandon Lloyd and Michael Crabtree that should keep them out for a week or two and you wonder if this is the year injuries jeopardize the 49ers effort to return to a fourth straight NFC title game.

In the Harbaugh era, injuries have been remarkably minimal, particularly on defense. But already the season-threatening injuries to Dorsey and Hunter will challenge the team s highly-touted depth. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio sounded less than optimistic about the possible return of nose tackle Ian Williams, who has already endured multiple surgeries in the last 10 months to his shattered lower leg. 
It could leave the 49ers with the under-sized Tony Jarod-Eddie <a href=http://www.buycelinebags.com/celine-luggage-43>Celine Luggage</a> and the beastly but inexperienced Quinton Dial as the crucial men in the center of the 49ers defense. The team is also unsure when they will get defensive end Justin Smith back. He has been activated, but only fully participates in the team s morning walk-through practice.
Fellow starter Ray McDonald has also been waylaid by a leg injury that is not expected to linger. 
At running back, general manager Trent Baalke has favored a two- or even-three-running-back attack. But that plan might be again on hold with the injury to Hunter, LaMichael James dislocated elbow and the slow rehabilitation of Marcus Lattimore. 
The team could very well start the season with Frank Gore as the starter and practice squad player Jewel Hampton and  rookie Carlos Hyde as backups. That means the 49ers might be reduced to a

one-pronged attack Gore.

No team has played more games the last three seasons than the 49ers. And, coach Jim Harbaugh is known for running one of the more arduous training camps in the league. You wonder if it all might be catching up to this team.

-Those were the dates of the season-ending losses to the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets, two games that changed the complexion of the 2013 season. The Dolphins were 8-6 and had a real shot of making the playoffs. But it all came apart in those two losses. A season of real hope quickly turned to average, an 8-8 record leaving its second-year head coach frustrated, disappointed and searching for answers.
-鈥?that happened in those games,鈥?Philbin said. 鈥淚t wasn鈥檛 the way any of us wanted the season to end.鈥?
+one-pronged attack Gore.
-Joe Philbin sits in his office on this late Sunday afternoon, briefly looking back at what could have been, but far more intent on gazing straight ahead toward his third season leading this franchise. Philbin will tell you that this is the most talent he鈥檚 had on the roster since he arrived, that the upgrade in depth is evident at every practice.
+  No team has played more games the last three seasons than the 49ers. And, coach Jim Harbaugh is known for running one of the more arduous training camps in the league. You wonder if it all might be catching up to this team.
-鈥淭hings can change in a hurry in this league, but I feel good about this roster,鈥?he said. 鈥淚 believe in these players. We made some incremental improvements last season. It wasn鈥檛 as much as I wanted or as sudden as I wanted, but I am convinced we are heading in the right direction.鈥?
-And Joe Philbin feels he, as the head coach, is heading in the right direction as well. He readily admits that he鈥檚 a better coach today than he was three training camps ago. He understands his players better. He communicates with them better. He has a better feel for the demands and challenges of his job.
-鈥淚 loved this job when I took it,鈥?he says, 鈥溾€?
-What he doesn鈥檛 love is losing. He doesn鈥檛 love remembering dates on a <a href=http://www.Saclouisvuittonhomme.com>Sac LOUIS VUITTON solders</a> schedule that bring back sour memories. He doesn鈥檛 love a 15-17 record in his two seasons here. That the Dolphins were in position to make the playoffs after 14 games last season showed promise. But those two losses only underlined how much work remained.
-鈥淭o get as close as we did shows a lot about our guys,鈥?Philbin said. 鈥淏ut when you look closer you鈥檝e got to ask: Why didn鈥檛 we? What are some of the things we didn鈥檛 do? More than anything else, it showed me we still have a lot of room for development.鈥?
-I truly like and respect this man. He is committed to this organization, committed to the people around him who he praises from his top assistants to the guy who cuts the grass on the practice field at night. He is so even keel, so calculating, so unbelievably organized. And, yes, so passionate,
-鈥淚t has been a privilege to serve as head coach of the Dolphins,鈥?he tells me.
-鈥淚 try to connect with our fans as much as possible. You can feel their passion. I listen when they say to me: 鈥楥oach, we are going to do it this year. Coach, we have a lot of confidence in you. Coach, we鈥檙e going all the way.鈥?
-鈥淵ou love to hear people who are as passionate as that. I share their passion and enthusiasm for this season. I want them to rest assured I am as passionate as they are and I鈥檓 going to work tirelessly to help that dream come true.鈥?
-The events of last season, both on and off the field, led . He realized he needed to communicate better and to have a more thorough feel of the mindset of his players. So he scheduled one-on-one meetings with most of his players and he listened intently. But that鈥檚 not all: He鈥檚 personally even handling bed check every night in training camp to stay close to his players. Yep, that鈥檚 Coach Philbin making sure the lights are out.
-鈥淚 asked the guys a lot of questions,鈥?Philbin said of the one-on-one meetings. 鈥淲hat is your favorite thing about being a Dolphin? What is one thing you would change about the program and it didn鈥檛 matter the cost? It was interesting to get a perspective from the guys. The more information you have the better decisions you can make.鈥?
-But communication is one thing; performance is another.  just as he expects his players to be better players. He has outlined to them his expectations, his goals.
-鈥淵ou always want to improve in your coaching,鈥?he said. 鈥淚 tell my players I want them to be a better football team in November and December than they were in the opening week. As a coach, you want to get better. I feel good about where I鈥檝e come since year one.鈥?
-But Philbin will be the first to tell you it鈥檚 all about winning. He knows that鈥檚 how he鈥檒l be judged. He embraces that. He talks of the great Dolphins teams of the 70鈥檚 and how he would love nothing more than to help write a new chapter.
-This is an important training camp, an important time.  and so many pieces to craft together in forming the fabric of this football team.
-Joe Philbin is clearly ready for the challenge.
-(On Tuesday, AC in the AM takes a close look at two of the team鈥檚 most versatile players.)
