Well, preseason game day . . . The big news I suppose is that Michael Crabtree is starting his first presason game in 4 years of trying. My thoughts is he gets a WR screen, a 5 yard out, and calls it a day while Moss and Manningham get the bulk of the work in getting on the same page with Smith. Actually I have no fucking idea. Smith needs work with ALL these guys, and playing against real opponents is the best way to get this done. Sure, the offense practices agaisnt one of the best defenses, but back in the day when this meant something, the offense was a well-oiled machine. As of now we are getting there, but by no means is this offense hitting on all cylinders. Lots of new parts, and we are only a month away from the real shit starting up.
The sounds from camp are all good. Brandon Jacobs says he’s found his top gear, and is running with power and more speed. LaMichael James and Kendall (Endzone) Hunter are both running hard and fast. Gore is healthy, and looks to get more help and more breaks. Randy Moss is helping guys like Crabs and KW get their shit together in meetings. Even AJ Jenkins is supposedly showing speed and ability in practice. Smith? Well he says what he says, and everyone moves on. The defense? Well, the same cast of maulers is back, and things should remain excellent in this group from top to bottom. The only big change is Aldon Smith getting on the field more. It comes at the expense of Parys Haralson, so this can only be good news.
Plus, during the game tonight, we get the thrill of seeing 53 cutaways of Aluminum Mike Singletary as he tries to keep his pants on during the game. He’s back down in the trenches as a linebacker coach, so he’s back at ground zero on his quest to be the best head coach of all time. Good luck there, Mike.
As for me, I’m heading for the mountains today. A little fishing, a little dirt biking, a little 4 wheeling, and a lot of hanging out. My son starts school in a couple weeks, so this is the last hurrah for the summer. In other words, I’ll see you guys Sunday night. I’m taping the game, but I’ll try to listen by the lake . . .
Forty Niners Forever 
“Random, shirtless fan runs onto field. Guy runs right up to Harbaugh, who has to use every ounce of self restraint to not punch him out.” ( from Bee-rows)
Fuck Del Mar double up dem meds man
Well I watched most of the game,and I would have to say Tolizen looked sharp,good decision making,quick precise reads,couple sure drops by the rookies,Jenkins,Palmer which would have been big gains,especially Palmer’s.
No way you keep 4 QB’s,and im sure we will see more reps for Josh Johnson,but it sure gonna be some tough decisions down the line.Smith and Kappy or locks of course,and Tolizen and Johnson both have NFL experience,just have to wait to see how the chips play out.Practice Squad for the odd man out possiblites?
Injuries will be key for the Niners. Stay healthy and they win big.
Preparation is a strong suit for Harbaugh teams. That should give them an edge when it counts.
Injures are a key for us bloggers as well Nip,long season is ahead for us all,have to loosen up the drinking elbow slowly to get maximum effort as the season progresses.
AK, the only one oligible for the taxi squad is Tolzein. JJ has too much NFL experience. I think they may just cut JJ to make sure they can keep Tolzein if it plays outr the way is appears so far.
Tolzein looked good yesterday.
Flav, the run was pretty cool. It came on a no-huddle. and Kappy made an excellent fake that the entire Viking defense bit on. When Cappy got past the line, there was one guy to beat, and Cappy stiff-arrmed him 50 yards downfield. Dude’s got LONG arms . . .
If they can make him semi-fuctional as a passer, he;s got a huge upside. Thing is, he ran a very simplistic passing offense iat UNR, so he has a pretty steep learning curve still.
Well, yesterday to me. . .
