49ers veteran LT Joe Staley referred to Michael Crabtree as a "great teammate." Crabtree has come under fire for sitting out player-organized workouts and reportedly being a "loner." He's also taken some shots at Alex Smith and failed to develop any kind of rapport with the quarterback. So it's a good sign that Staley is at least defending Crabtree in the media. The 2009 No. 10 overall pick appears to fit perfectly in the team's new West Coast offense.
