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 [...]

In a follow-up to a post way back in training camp about top questions of the season…
1) Will OLB Manny Lawson finally live up to his potential (i.e. will he have a strong season, finally)?
So far, I would have to say that the jury is still out. Has he been all world? No, but he [...]

This is the first entry of my third weekly set of articles during the regular season. Each week I will evaluate the team status from head to toe, focusing on some aspects versus others and ask the essential questions. Are these parts of the organization improving and/or succeeding or are they floundering and holding us [...]

Eight Bench Warmers
#1) QB Nate Davis. Congratulations on a good preseason Nate and welcome to the NFL. Now, sit in the back at QB meetings, don’t ask stupid questions, grab a clipboard and a team hat and work on your conversation skills with the assistant trainers and the water boys. You’re our inactive emergency QB.
#2) [...]

- Well we can chalk up one big win now for Joe John Finley and a certain loss for late round grab Bear Pascoe. As much as Bear was lauded by Singletary post draft, he has not shown up at all.  Considered an undrafted free agent or very late 7th rounder, Singletary jumped all over [...]

- Zak Keasey is quite, quite horrible. His first preseason he ran with non-stop legs in his conversion from LB. Last offseason he showed improved hands and speed and looked like the kind of FB you want to run outside in Martz’s offense. But this year, wow, I’m not sold on him any more in [...]

And a handful of reasons to think that things are going to go well, including some snippets taken from 1st-hand experience of 49ers board members and the team beat writers in camp…
1) We are not going to lack Running Back depth

Whether it was Singletary saying we’d have a run-dominant offense (i.e. run well in any [...]

This of course will later be followed with a third preseason post about reasons to be optimistic, funny enough.  But first, let’s discuss and consider the darkside of the coin…
1) Our QB situation is a complete mess.
Okay, we know Hill put up some nice numbers and some victories late in 2007 and led us to [...]

Here’s my list of the top 10 questions about the team this season (kudos to MK1)…
1) Will OLB Manny Lawson finally live up to his potential (i.e. will he have a strong season, finally)?
His rookie year he had to deal with stamina issues, lacking the build to take on tough blockers in space, and yet [...]

So now is the most dreaded time of the NFL Season. While I always say that the season never truly ends, thias has got to be the most boring 2-3 week stretch of them all. Consider that the league year really starts at the beginning of March…
March: Free agency begins. Teams signing players left and [...]
