The 49ers head this Friday for 10 days, two games on the road. A trip unfair? Actually, this is what the 49ers asked for when the league compiled your program. “We have two toughest places to play on the road, and do not need to fight an extra 10 hours of travel and battle zones of time,” 49ers president and chief executive, said Jed York. “It is simply a better way to prepare ourselves.”

Sandwiched between Sunday’s games in Cincinnati and October 2 in Philadelphia is a five days in Youngstown, Ohio, the hometown of the DeBartolo family, who bought the 49ers in 1977. “The stars aligned that type of agreement, we can do this in Youngstown, where my family can do whatever is necessary to ensure that it is a first class experience to the team,” said York, the largest of the Team owners Denise DeBartolo York and New York John four children. The elimination of a roundtrip flight and improving player’s watches the body are main objectives, along with the camaraderie potential could not be built in low season by blocking the workforce.

The 49ers (1-1) with five games in the Eastern time zone this season, and all are 10 am (Pacific Time) begins an affair with the exception of the Thanksgiving night in Baltimore. Since losing to Tampa Bay playoff appearance in his last nine seasons ago, the 49ers have lost 19 of 22 games in the Eastern Time zone. “Yes, it is one of the factors,” said Coach Jim Harbaugh. “(We’re) trying to pull out all the stops and I thought they were positive enough to justify it.”York said he consulted with Harbaugh and general manager Trent Baalke as to whether this trip made sense from the standpoint of football operations before sending the unusual schedule request to the league.

The last time the 49ers had back-to-back games in the Eastern Time zone, also in Cincinnati and Philadelphia in December 2003 when they lost to the Bengals 41-38 before beating the Eagles 31-28 in overtime. “We are always at a disadvantage when we go to the East Coast and playing at 10 am the body-clock game,” said York. An extension of stay of the East Coast did not help the Arizona Cardinals 2008, which was entrenched in Virginia between weeks 3 and 4 games to the Washington Redskins and New York Jets. The Cardinals lost two games, ending the trip in the back in a 34-0 defeat Jets 56-35 to Brett Favre.

The 49ers hope to continue after the example of the New England Patriots, who twice in 2008 spent a week practicing at San Jose State in the Midwest Coast games. The Patriots won in San Francisco and San Diego lost in October on a trip, and then swept the games in Seattle and Oakland in December. In 2005, the Cowboys stayed in Fremont between weeks 3 and 4 games in San Francisco (Cowboys win) and Oakland (Cowboys loss). “This will be an adjustment, but I think it will be good, kind of like a little minicamp,” said quarterback Alex Smith. “The boys will have to spend much time together and focus on football.”Added linebacker Patrick Willis” It will be good for our team at any time you have to make long trips, it is difficult for the body.”

The 49ers will prepare for the second leg of their journey in Youngstown, a former steel town located midway between Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Denise DeBartolo York and New York John have maintained a primary residence in that area during his 49ers. Youngstown is also where Edward J. Mr. DeBartolo launched his empire as a commercial developer, commercial and employer. He bought the 49ers in 1977 and turned the reins to his son, Eddie DeBartolo, who supervised the execution of the franchise five Super Bowl titles.

Denise DeBartolo York took over in 1999, following the legal problems of his brother. (His father died five years ago.) The 49ers will continue next week in a hotel of Mr. DeBartolo built on the outskirts of Youngstown Boardman. They will practice at Youngstown State University, where he was admitted to the family DeBartolo York, in the Hall of Fame Athletics in 2004 for his philanthropic contributions. “I hope you enjoy your stay here and come back and stay again,” said Youngstown Mayor Chuck SAMMARONE, a former YSU lineman, who is also in its Hall of Fame. “I hope that the practices are open to the public, because that would be good for the community to see the practice.”

No, the 49ers will not alter your routine and open practices, although they might invite special guests, such as high school coaches. “Youngstown is a unique place. Obviously my family is from, so there are a lot of strong roots,” said Jed York. “Giving children the chance to see my family is from, I think it will be great.”High on the agenda of the 49 ‘next week, apart from the obvious football-related analysis and planning, are visits to a hospital Monday attempts in children and Boys & Girls Club. There will be a team banquet Tuesday at a favorite restaurant of the DeBartolo and York’s

“Whenever we get to eat and play football, we’re fine,” said catcher Joshua Morgan.
