Ontheair dohavetolearnfromit." • Guard Alex Boone, one of eight starters ticketed for free agency, said the 49ers could have a place in his 2016 plans. "Of course. This is my home. These are my brothers," said Boone, who's season is likely over after he partially tore his medial collateral ligament Sunday. Testing the market, however, is something Boone has looked forward to doing since last year, when he held out through the offseason and all of training camp. "It's the league. I'm excited about free agency," Boone said. "At the same time, I'd love to hear an offer from the 49ers. And things will work out the way they are." Other 49ers starters who are unsigned beyond this season: wide receiver Anquan Boldin, tight end Garrett Celek, running back Shaun Draughn, guard Andrew Tiller, nose tackle Ian Williams, line- backer Michael Wilhoite and kicker Phil Dawson. • Tomsula gave no indi- cation he wants to recall Jarryd Hayne from the practice squad with three games remaining. Hayne, Australia's former rugby- league star, shined in the preseason and played the first six games as a punt returner before being rel- egated to the practice squad. "I'm not going to talk about any roster things," Tomsula said. "We see Jar- ryd in practice and he's practicing very hard." Hayne hasn't played in the past seven games for the 49ers, who are 2-5 without him and 2-4 with him. "He has a ton of ability. He just needs to learn the game, like all aspects," special teams coordina- tor Thomas McGaughey said. "... We thought he had skills enough to be a punt returner. It's a new deal. Every day is a new day for him. It didn't work out. He just needs to learn how to play the game of football." • Wide receiver Torrey Smith (back spasms) and running back Kendall Gas- kins (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, nor did linebacker NaVorro Bowman, who routinely gets that day to rest his reconstructed knee. • Outside linebacker Aaron Lynch and tight end Vance McDonald practiced in limited fashion, hav- ing missed Sunday's game with concussions from the previous week. • Quarterback Colin Kaepernick said he's doing well in his recovery from Nov. 24 shoulder surgery. 49ers FROM PAGE 1 pressive physical traits and the freedom to line up in different spots, Mack has become a menace to op- posing teams after record- ing just four sacks last year as a rookie. "He's just really under- standing what he can do," teammate Charles Wood- son said. "He can go out there and he has the abil- ity to get around guys or go through them. He's re- ally just figuring out he can do that pretty much at his will. That's bad for oppos- ing offensive lines." While he provided con- stant pressure and was stout against the run as a rookie, the lack of sacks bothered Mack and chang- ing that was a major focus for this season. Now he is the total pack- age. To go along with all the sacks, Mack also has 52 quarterback knock- downs and hurries, accord- ing to STATS, tied for third most in the league. He also ranks in the top 20 in run tackles behind the line of scrimmage, showing the all-around versatility that has made him a building block for the improving Raiders (6-7). "He's spending more time going forward this year. I think that helps," coach Jack Del Rio said. "I think he's had more time just refining the skill level necessary to rush the quarterback at the highest level." Mack took over the game in Denver in the second half, taking ad- vantage of mismatches against tackles Michael Schofield and Ryan Har- ris. It started when he brought down Brock Os- weiler for a 10-yard loss to force a punt on Den- ver's first possession of the third quarter. He added a strip sack for a safety later in the third quarter and then three more sacks in the fourth quarter to thwart Denver's comeback at- tempt. He even added a tackle behind the line in the run game to show that he is more than a one-dimensional pass rusher. "I'm big on the NFL Draft, so I've always watched the NFL Draft and I remember when he came out, I was watching him and different things like that," Denver line- backer Brandon Marshall said. "I remember think- ing, 'OK, this guy can do something.' But, I was watching on the sideline and thinking, 'Man, this guy is an animal.' He defi- nitely had a game, I would say that, a career game for sure." Despite playing college ball at Buffalo, Mack im- pressed enough to go fifth overall in the 2014 draft. But he wasn't the first pass rusher taken, going four spots after the more her- alded Jadeveon Clowney went first overall to Hous- ton. But Mack had more sacks in one half last week than Clowney has in his entire career and figures to get plenty more the way things have gone of late. "The way he can get around the corner and bend and get low to the ground — those sort of things — it kind of re- minds you of Derrick Thomas," Woodson said. "I remember playing Der- rick Thomas my first game in the NFL against the Chiefs and he had six sacks against us. Khalil kind of reminded me of that." Notes: • RT Austin Howard (knee) missed practice. • S Nate Allen returned to practice after missing last week's game with a knee injury. Raiders FROM PAGE 1 By Curtis Pashelka BayAreaNewsGroup TORONTO Joe Thornton deadpans his way through the Sharks' latest holiday video, a takeoff of the "Be- hind the Music" series that features a self-deprecating look back at previous vid- eos the team has released just before Christmas. "It's always nice to re- live the past a little bit," Thornton said Wednesday at Air Canada Centre, a day before the Sharks face the Toronto Maple Leafs. "We just had some fun with it." T hornton knows, though, it's not always so easy to turn back the clock. Thornton readily admit- ted recently that he's not the "offensive juggernaut" he once was. His numbers through 30 games — four goals and 13 assists — are well off the torrid pace he's set in previous seasons. He has a goal and two assists in the last 12 games, a dry spell that hasn't hap- pened since his second sea- son in the NHL 16 years ago. He's fifth on the Sharks in scoring, and fourth with 20 penalty minutes. But he also feels, after 1,276 points in 1,315 ca- reer games, that if he can continue to create scoring chances, the points, and more Sharks victories, will start to come. "We're getting tons of chances. They're just not going in the net," Thorn- ton said. "That's the only difference. I think I've al- ways been defensively con- scious. But for whatever reason, the goals haven't been going in." Sharks coach Pete De- Boer echoed the sentiment, and in his first year in San Jose, has seen first-hand how dangerous Thornton can be at any given mo- ment. In the Sharks' 3-1 win over Montreal on Tuesday, Thornton chased down Andrei Markov behind the Canadiens' net, created a turnover and took control of the puck. He then fed Joe Pavelski, who found Dain- ius Zubrus in front of the net. Zubrus scored after a deft move on Montreal goalie Dustin Tokarski, as the Sharks took a 3-0 lead and later snapped a six- game winless streak. But the goal doesn't hap- pen without Thornton's hustle. "He made that goal," De- Boer said. "He was first in on the forecheck on the puck, stripped (Markov) and caused a turnover. He created that goal basically with his work, and he's been doing that all year. "The results haven't been there on the scoresheet, maybe just like our team. The results haven't been there for the work and commitment, but it'll even- tually come." After DeBoer was named the Sharks' coach in late May, one of the first things he noticed was how hard his veterans were working in the offseason. Whenever DeBoer was at the Sharks' practice facility, he typi- cally saw Thornton and Patrick Marleau working out at the same time. Melker Karlsson saw the same work ethic when he first got to San Jose mid- way through last season. "He's not just a player who lives in the past. He works hard for it, too," Karlsson said of Thorn- ton. "He works his ass off every day." Thornton's three-year contract runs out after the 2016-17 season, and he wouldn't speculate when asked if he'd to continue to play in the NHL beyond his current contract. Right now, Thornton said he simply loves com- ing to the rink, still has the same enthusiasm for the game as he always did. That part might never get old. "I love it. I enjoy coming every day," Thornton said. "I have a smile on my face. I've got the best job in the world." Notes • Forward Tomas Hertl will likely be a game time decision Thursday. Hertl participated in an optional team practice Wednesday and said he felt much bet- ter than he did 24 hours earlier when he was scratched from a game for the first time this season with a lower body injury.
