A Farewell To Character

Posted on 05 September 2010

Given that Singletary did not go even 24 hours before finalizing his roster i am not going to post a Week 4 “R-R-R” Post. Especially since any commentary on the results is moot once all final decisions come so fast.
Why did he jump at the chance a day early? It could be any number of [...]

Rumbles, Raves, and Ruminations (Preseason Week 3)

Posted on 01 September 2010

Rave - He hasn’t even played in a regular season game yet and already OG Iupati looked like a dominant offensive lineman in this game.  Against MIN the team tried several times to pull him and to have him straight up on the MIN’s pair of top run defending DTs. He held his own ground [...]

Preseason Week 2: Rumbles, Raves, and Ruminations

Posted on 26 August 2010

Rumination - At some point we all have to wonder how WR Jason Hill has not worked out. Honestly, the guy had excellent pedigree. He came from a top program, putting up lots of TDs with good hands. He flashed excellent top end speed in the combine on top of good agility numbers. He was [...]

Rumbling, Raving, and Ruminating on Preseason Week 1

Posted on 16 August 2010

Rave - There was a definitive standout hero in this game and it was rookie RB Anthony Dixon. Holy cow. Let me just wax poetic a bit about some of the reasons why I’m impressed. Let’s start with his effort. This kid, even when wrapped up and stopped always found the burst to knife through [...]

Ten Things To Know From Week 1 of Camp

Posted on 06 August 2010

1) There is no way to place any sort of verdict on one of the most important spots in camp so far: Quarterback. Week 1 was devoted to shaking the rust out of pads and to set a tone of physicality and emotions. In between the physical drills, the team was working on installing its [...]

Pay The Man

Posted on 02 July 2010

The number of reasons to give Manny Lawson an extension are quite numerous and I stand behind his request for a new contract.
Let’s quickly review Lawson’s history with the club.
- After losing DE/WOLB Carter and SOLB Peterson  in free agency, the team trades up a week before the draft to have a shot at a [...]

Is There A Closing ‘Window’ of Opportunity?

Posted on 18 May 2010

You have to be on one of either sides of the following coin. Either you believe that in the modern game with salary cap structures and league layout that dynasties can in fact exist or you must believe that the powers that be have ended the possibility of such practices. I personally am of the [...]

How ‘Close’ Are We?

Posted on 04 May 2010

Am I really being hasty with such a question? well, last season we finished 8-8. Along the way, we beat our division winner twice and we launched several big comebacks in games that in previous years we would have been out of completely. We were one lucky throw from beating MIN, a superbowl team and [...]

…And Now For the Hasty, Knee-Jerk Draft Grading.

Posted on 24 April 2010

RT Anthony Davis, Rutgers: I have mixed feelings on this. Let me first go so far as to dig into drafts past and mention DE Andrew Williams. Williams, a very athletic 3rd round DE was drafted with the intent of having a solid, dynamic backup to former 1st rounder DE Carter. The value was there, [...]

My Five 49er Drafts

Posted on 17 April 2010

Before It Even Starts
Before the draft even opens up Thursday, we are already well on a road to success. While I think we’re smoke-screening a bit, we got our return man in Ginn for only a 5th rounder. In comparison, his 3 years of experience, speed, and explosiveness make him a superior value to a [...]
