Mike Singletary has nailed down that Alex Smith is the starter going into 2010, but how will the rest of these guys pan out? Are there even enough snaps in the preseason to tell? Behind Smith, there's a huge possibility the 49ers will be looking to make a cut, and that ...Published on: 9th July, 2010
49ers rookie second string RB Glen Coffee disappointed 49ers fans last year with 2.7 yards per carry. I have heard a number of fans dismissing him as a bust already. After leading the preseason in rushing with 249 yards and a 5.9 yards per carry average, I think he left us ...Published on: 9th July, 2010
Julius Peppers was shipped to Chicago, Jake Delhomme was considered expendable, and Thomas Davis suffered the second serious knee injury of his career. The 2010 First round draft pick was traded to SF to acquire DE Everette Brown, and at this point it looks as if SF was on the ...Published on: 6th July, 2010
Frank Gore is the player that the San Francisco 49ers offense revolves around. He is one of my personal favorites, and I hope he finishes out his career in SF. So with Gore's long-term durability in mind, and the desire to build a more physical football team, the 49ers have added ...Published on: 25th June, 2010
In the shadow of Glenn Coffee, Mark Ingram Jr. performed very well in 2008, but not well enough to foreshadow his ability to be a finalist for the Heisman Trophy in 2009. The two running backs had distinct roles with few exceptions. Mark Ingram came checked in on shorter yardage ...Published on: 22nd June, 2010
Alex Smith has been the victim of a bad system. Honestly, I'm amazed that the guy didn't throw in the towel and go somewhere else. Not because he can't hack it, not because he isn't right. Some of you have recently read my arguments of the importance of receiver height. I ...Published on: 17th June, 2010
Beef... It's what's for dinner. If you're a 49er Faithful, it's what's for draft! Last year we added a semi-developed linebacker, a raw talent corner, a short blazing receiver and punt returner, a center field pain dispenser, and a whole lotta beef! We are still another season and draft away from ...Published on: 16th June, 2010
I am optimistic about the 2010 49ers, however, there are way too many fans overestimating where we are at. I understand wanting winners and going out, hitting people in the mouth, and having a team capable of physically dominating others. But, what concerns me is the notion that it also means, ...Published on: 24th April, 2010
Well, pick-wise we're half way through the draft, pending more trades. Honestly, I felt much better about day one than I do about day two. I feel awful to judge Mike Singletary's ability to judge a good linebacker when he sees one, but I don't follow the logic on Navarro ...
