SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- After spending nearly two weeks only lining up against teammates, the San Francisco 49ers are looking forward to the opportunity to hit someone else for a change.The Niners will hold a joint practice on Friday with the Houston Texans before the two teams open the exhibition season two days later at Levis Stadium.While these sessions often come with increased intensity and occasional fights, 49ers coach Chip Kelly said he does not believe his players will cross any lines.They understand that you have to play with emotion, not let emotion play with you, Kelly said. Its the same rules that you have in a game. If you get in a fight in a game, youre not going to be around. So, its the same thing. Were trying to get a good quality practice. Were not trying to turn it into a WWE wrestling match.That has not always been the case.

One Raiders fan even tried to hit a Dallas defender with a replica helmet.Niners rookie guard Joshua Garnett said its important to strike a balance between being aggressive and physical, while staying under control.You hope people are not too sensitive, he said. Youre going to go after them and theyre going to go after you. You want to be the guy dealing the blow and not be that guy who gets caught not going harder than your opponent. You always want to be that guy setting the tempo but keep it under control and play with poise and not get out of control with your emotions.Kelly is a proponent of joint practices, having done them a few times during his tenure in Philadelphia. The 49ers will hold another joint practice nextt week in Denver before taking on the Broncos in their second exhibition game. Nike Presto Nere. I think its always good, Kelly said.

The coordinators for both teams also have been involved, with Niners offensive coordinator Curtis Modkins trading ideas with Texans defensive head Romeo Crennel and defensive coordinator Jim ONeil doing the same with Houston offensive coordinator George Godsey.ONeil said he and Godsey have talked about whether there are any different looks they would like to see Friday in practice that they arent able to see as much when they go up against their own teams.For us defensively, its going to be huge just from a player evaluation standpoint and then its a totally different offensive scheme, ONeil said. Itll be a lot more two-back formations, stuff we need to see to get ready for the season. So, itll be a big test for our defense.Game notes QB Colin Kaepernick only took mental reps at practice Thursday in what the team described as a planned rest day. ...
