Die Planung » nto the sand, McIlroy just about clea

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Dropping passes is so out of character for Anquan Boldin that he and offensive co-ordinator Greg Roman shared a little laugh about it last week after a few balls went through Boldins hands in New Orleans.Boldin despises missing potential receptions, so imagine how infuriated he felt when four slipped through his grasp against the Saints.Always. They burn and its something that you think about, but at the same time you cant let that affect the next game or the next play, he said. Thats something you vow not to let happen again, come out, work your butt off and move on.Boldin has had few sub-par games in his two seasons with San Francisco (6-4), and he certainly bounced back from that one in New Orleans on Nov. 9.He caught a 27-yard touchdown pass from Colin Kaepernick in Sundays 16-10 road win against the New York Giants, and coach Jim Harbaugh has adopted Boldins mantra of considering each week a one-game season.Everybody knows where we are, its not a secret. Were the ones who put ourselves there, Boldin said. If its going to get done, were going to have to do it. Were not looking for anybody outside to come and help us. We know that were good enough to make things happen. It would be a great story for us to be 4-4 and then win the Super Bowl. Thats how were looking at it, every week is win or go home.He is doing his part.Boldin has five or more receptions in eight of San Franciscos 10 games. He has a team-leading 56 catches — 13 more than No. 2 receiver Michael Crabtree — heading into Sundays home game against Washington (3-7).Those dropped balls fueled Boldin even more.Boldin had a big day last November against the Redskins. Colin Kaepernick threw for 235 yards and three touchdowns, two of those to Boldin in a 27-6 win.Hes at the highest level in all categories: intensity, focus, coach Jim Harbaugh said. I dont know if theres another rung in the ladder to go, but I felt that before and he has climbed another rung.After the dropped balls, Harbaugh found himself answering questions about San Franciscos top two targets in a talented receiving corps. He hasnt lost an ounce of faith in the Boldin-Crabtree combo.Boldin has meant so much to the 49ers on and off the field.Last week, he announced a $1 million endowment from him and wife Dionne to his foundation for annual college scholarships to high school graduates.For Roman, keeping everybody involved proves a challenge each week, and he wants tight end Vernon Davis to be a bigger part of the offence despite a year in which his numbers are down.Boldins intense personality pushes everybody, on both sides of the ball.Anquans such a special guy. You dont really notice that because hes always at that notch, Roman said. I grabbed him last week and made an analogy about some of that stuff and we chuckled, because it just never happens. Its not something you would never see. Hes so dependable, such a strong-handed catcher, and thats every single day in practice, from the first day of OTAs through OTAs, into training camp, its the same.In March, the 49ers signed Boldin to a $12 million, two-year contract with $9 million guaranteed to keep Kaepernicks top target around.Fellow wideout Stevie Johnson trusts in Boldin to always make the big play under pressure.We know Q and we know him to never miss a pass, but at the same time we also know that nobodys perfect and things happen, Johnson said. Most of the time it goes his way. Q, thats the type of player he is, hes a beast.NOTES: LB NaVorro Bowman, whose 21-day window during which he could be activated opened Tuesday, is scheduled to be examined by a team doctor Friday, defensive co-ordinator Vic Fangio said. He is not practicing this week. ... Fangio doesnt expect NT Glenn Dorsey to be ready to play Sunday. Nothing negative has happened, Fangio said. I think its kind of where it was last week at this time.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Air Max 97 Australia .
