Quotes about Ashley Lelie

Asked what Lelie has to do to get on the field, SF 49ers head coach Mike Nolan said:
“Just continue to practice well and show the things he can do. He is just getting more comfortable with the things we are doing and our guys are getting more comfortable in seeing what he can do. Anybody that is a third or fourth wide receiver is one play away from being in the game. The time he is not getting the repetitions is all good and valuable time for him to be working on his skills, so when the time comes he can perform well.” (SF49ers.com)


Asked if missing the off season practices set Lelie back, Nolan said:
“Yes, but how much I don’t know. (It hurts) any time you miss practice time, otherwise you’d be saying that OTA’s and mini-camp are insignificant.” (SF49ers.com)


Asked if Taylor Jacobs is still their #3 WR, Nolan said:
“Right now, yeah.” (SF49ers.com)
