Well, based on he first preseason drives of both QBs, the Niners would have been better off sticking with young Sir Alex. Just kidding. Game one is in the books. And while too much can’t be gleaned from it, some players looked good early. Kappy led a nice opening drive until a penalty (stop me if this sounds familiar) stalled out a drive. Richard Dawson came in to kick a FG. The first string D looked nice even without J Smith. A Smith got pressure on PM to stall Denver’s first drive. After that it was backup time. Turnovers ensued, and the rest was pretty much sloppy, but some players looked good. Ian Williams, ice soap’s replacement, played well, and provided a nice push up front. Something Mike Nolan stressed him not to do. Something which he became great at not doing. Eric Reid played a nice game and laid the wood on a couple guys. However he had a mild back strain in practice today.
The other big pick in the draft, Vance McDonald, played a fairly solid game, with a couple drops. One pass he alligatored, the other was a flat drop. This was his knock coming in, and the hope is he can lose that problem, as well as pick up pointers on how to block. He has great size and power as a pass catcher, and is a nice big target. The fight for #2 WR was apparently going toward Marlon Moore and Kassim Osgood. They both made a few nice catches, while AJ Jenkins, who was in for more plays, managed to make one catch and then promptly fumbled it away. All in all, tough sledding for a guy who can’t seem to do anything right.
The bad? Well, neither back up QB looked very good. That had something to do with the shaky line play by the backup O line, bit still and all, the luxury of having 2 starting caliber QBs like we did last year is but a memory. Tukafu on the line was washed out on a few plays but he had a couple good plays as well, AJ, Dawson missed a FG to close the half, and the turnovers led to the only TD, when DJ Harper fumbled and it was returned for a flop 6. Dorsey was invisible, and each backup QB had a pick. The good news was a light injury report.
The guy grew up in a loving family. I remember after he shredded us (Cal) up in Reno, his words after the game were as humble as words can be. ‘they played well, it’s tough to defend against our pistol offense’ or something like that. Rape!?! Huh?
Kidnapping and rape discussion on Chuck’s blog? Man some of you guys dive off the deep end.
Where and when did I ever accuse Kappy of rape? I mean that’s libel, writing that I accused him.
I wrote that I was worried. Others in NFL have been known to, once they got money and power.
I’ll drop the subject for all time. At least I’ll try.
I think RT was just trying to make the point that he hopes Kap keeps his feet on the ground by using extreme examples of guys who did not. I least that’s what I pieced together from him. It was a bit convoluted though. Sound about right RT?
RT didn’t equate anything CK7 has done to rape. Chuck made the exaggeration in an extreme mischaracterization of RT saying he didn’t want CK7 to turn out like Ben Roethlisberger. And the sheeple cried “rape!” not our guy, you must be crazy it was only a hat. That is the usual way observations not in lockstep are argued and/or dismissed here.
I agree RT didn’t tie Kap to rape or any crime.
He did however say he was willing to trade Kap suggesting it was because of the off season B.S.
That’s a bit over the top I thought.
Miscommunication is a large source of argument on any blog.
No harm no foul on this one.
I’m not going to jump on anybody here because I don’t post much, therefore I don’t know enough about y’all to make an opinion, and hell, I’m cool with all Niner fans but I do wonder what Kaepernick had done to make someone ‘worried’? Why worry?
So the kid likes to go to parties? I like to go to parties. I don’t understand the correlation to partying to being like “Big Ben”.
Sheeple? Really?
You’re dismissed, NoFear.
RTF wrote about 5-6 posts knocking Kappy for things he hasn’t done. He talked of trading him and saying he should get kicked in the head. I’m just wondering why.
And I’m sure he doesn’t need you to fight his battles.
Dobbs suspended for the Packer game for his weed conviction. Hurts his chances to stay on the 53 I would of thought.
In other news, I will be at that game!
Weed? Meh. At least it wasn’t HGH.
one of the rams starting LB got a 4 game for naughty stuff today.
Hey Chuck, you got an email addy for public consumption?
We should pick up a portion of the tab for him 12th.
It’s Jo-Lonn Dunbar.
Forever to be remembered in 9er lore, for being the guy that ushered in the Kaepernick Era, by concussing Alex.
I’ll buy a drink, if I ever have the opportunity.
Hey NJ, I forgot it was him, I will hoist a can as soon as I finish typing this.
Least you can do 12th.
Jo-Lonn is to us what Mo Lewis was to the Pats
John Brodie turned 78 today. Damn. That makes me feel old. I wonder how he’s doing. Last I heard he was recovering pretty well from that stroke he had years ago. What is it with QBs being great golfers? There’s got to be a correlation there somewhere.
Just look at Romo Del.
Spends more time and energy on the links than he does honing his skills at QB.
Me thinks he spends plenty of energy with Mrs Jones too.
How else can you explain all the money he’s been paid, to miss the Playoffs with such regularity?
So Jerruh paid him in advance, to become a Team Leader.
The Jerry Puppets.
And the New (Old) Defensive Coordinators.
The Jerri-Tols.
Maybe the coaches can go to the same plastic surgeon as Jerruh. Took years off Jerruh’s ugly mug….not.
I think Jerruh used a Mortician.
Embalmed while still breathing.
Moron.
Even if you cut off his head or, stitched his mouth shut, his ego will keep on going, in search of a microphone or television camera.
Jerruh took over the mantle of crypt keeper from Al who as it turns out had actually been dead for months before it was noticed.
Dennis, I’ve mentioned that my lawyer’s brother and assistant was taken in and cared for by John until he came of age.
Chuck, getting kicked in the head was a figurative expression. Watch some Bill Walsh film, then get back on your high horse.
And BTW, I like NF covering my back when you continue to be a jackass for hits.
Rightee-o, RTF. Go wax the Benz. . . .
12th unca_chuck@yahoo.com is one that I check once in a while.
Thx.
Brady hurt his knee today, to what extent tbd. Book ESPN for updates on his condition every quarter hour for the next two months…
That should work out perfectly with the minutia of Tebows every breath drawn and eyebrow inflection as Brady’s potential backup.
A win win.
What’s that say for Ryan Mallet?
Everything.
Kidding aside Tebow has almost no chance of seeing the field as the starting QB if Brady goes down.
Can’t wax the Benz until the weather settles down, Chuck.
Great old interview of Bette Davis on Dick Cavett now.
She was magic and you missed it. Ha ha ha.
Go wax your 4-wheeler, dude.
You mess with NF and my friends in the military, Chuck, and I will mess with you.
NF is my buddy. I want him to be able to post here.
Settle down. I’m joking.
New thread is up . . .
