Happy Roster Fun Day

AKA Saturday bloody Saturday. Cut down day has just begun, and Tim Terrific has been cut from the Patriots, and Matt Hot Tub Leinart has been axed from the Bills. Oh, yeah, Travis Johnson, LB for the Niners has been cut as well. And I think we can safely assume Seneca Wallace is not going to make the cut.

Stay tuned for more bloodletting. It’ll be interesting to see if we pick up a player or 2 from the discard pile.

    Wow. Didn’t hear about Ray Lewis and His delusional fantasies until just now. He thinks that the NFL pulled the plug on the Super Bowl to allow the 49ers back int the game. Uh, yeah. Got it.

    You won, Ray. Shut the fuck up.

    Here’s Jed’s response, via Tweet.

    Not bad, Jed.

      Seriously Chuck.
      I said the same thing on Skeebers’ site.
      He wins the game, gets the Ring, yet has to be talking smack about a conspiracy?

      Let’s talk about the jail time you did in Atlanta regarding a double homicide Ray.
      Conspiracy?
      Better look up the meaning of that one Ray.

      Two guys died and, he and his entourage were neck deep in the events that surrounded the murders.

      Thank God that clown is done playing.
      I just hope we don’t have to see a steady diet of his opinions for ESPN.
      Just sorry we couldn’t ruin his retirement party.

      Everytime Ray Ray opens his mouth and utters anything we all get just a bit more stupid. Osmosis, I think. STFU.

    NJ49er, you see this sort of thing when an ex-player is under pressure to make a splash when entering a broadcast career. Sometimes the stupidity is so outrageous it spells the end before it begins. I really hope that’s the case for Lewis. I think that newly minted HOF under-tackle tried the same a time or two. It’s all show-biz hype.

    I think our game turned on Ngati’s and Justin Smith’s ability to play anyway.

    I’m against ex-jocks in broadcasting. Most of them are boring and tiresome people. Of course there’s always exceptions, but too few to mention. Chuck’s dog would bring more effort to a broadcast. Arf!

    Packers pick up both Tolzien and now the unretired Wallace for the match up come Sunday. Fuckin Wallace,what a POS” he probably only came in to our camp to micro film the Playbook.Pretty fishy how he bailed out on us, then signs with the Pack days before this game.
    Lol if there that desperate coming in to “Our House” with these clowns , an what little knowledge(Tolzien not Wallace) provide.Guess their not desperate enough for Tebow yet?

  5. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    They trade Johnson (who looks now like a 4th rounder) for a 7th round pick, then sign a rookie WR cut from Seattle = Harper? To play, or for intel? Why is he better than Hawkins, who could return kicks, too? Now they’ve got a closet filled with wannabe WRs, and more when / if Manningham is back. I’d have thought that Johnson as a backup QB assassin, and only getting better, was a great asset to have. Call me puzzled…

    • barleyfreak's avatar barleyfreak says:

      I think Baalke’s just trying to eliminate all evidence of the 2012 draft. He’s almost there.

  6. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    Every team’s in the same boat. But, they should expand the rosters to 55, at least. Keep the same practice squad number. Two additional per team won’t break the NFL bank, and it would help stop teams having to give up pretty decent players that have been with the team all through camp or even longer…

  7. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Yeah, the Cam trade is puzzling. As is the Hawkins thing. At least he’s somewhat proven as a WR. These are fringe guys anyway, so I’m not too concerned. They have an awful lot of confidence in the green WR corps, that’s for sure.

  8. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Talk is Harper will be switched to TE. Which means H back in the diamond formation?

    Haven’t seen them run that very muc.h this preseason.

  9. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    They ran that about 40% of the Miami game I went to last year.

  10. NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

    Could also be that Hawkins would be guaranteed his Contract value if he’s on an NFL Roster for the 1st game too?
    I have a feeling Seattle might be doing that with Michael Robinson, we’ll see.

    I liked Harper at K-State, he’s very similar to Patton.
    Harper is little heavier but, I think they’re about the same height.
    Either way, stealing someone from Pete is always a good thing from my vantage point.

    • NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

      Might be that Baalke had Harper on the Board in April too.
      Look at it as getting another 4th Rd Pick, courtesy of Seattle leaving him unprotected on Cut Down Day.

      • NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

        As for Cam, he got us another 7th Rd Pick.
        Nice that Baalke turned an extra Roster spot into some Draft Currency, instead of just cutting him loose to open the slot for a player they felt was more valuable.

        Curious to see where Marecic slides into the picture now.

      • NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

        From Combine Bio information –
        Harper 6’1″ 229
        Patton 6’0″ 204

        Patton had the higher Draft Grade for what that’s worth.

        One interesting piece of the puzzle is that Harper played in a Run heavy system at K-State.
        Could be a good indication why both we and Seattle saw value in him.
        Patton was just an electric RAC prospect, which of course, is also a great attribute.

  11. NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

    Harper is also an ex-QB turned WR.
    Makes sense having lost Marqueis Gray.
    Gray 6’3″ 240

    Very similar measurables.

  12. NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

    Looking back on Harpers’ Combine stats –
    Harper –
    35.5 Vertical – 20 Reps- 4.5/40
    Patton –
    33.0 Vertical- 8 Reps- 4.48/40

    I can see why Harper is being considered as an H/TE.
    Run heavy College system.
    Better build and blocked more.

    Should be a nice addition for us.
    Especially since it subtracts from Pete and the Cheats.

  13. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Yea, after seeing the pack seemingly go after guys from our team nominally one would think to gather intel, good to see us doing that with Harper.

    Plus he’s a big target that can block, so all the better. This would kinda put Marecic off the table I’d think.

  14. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Saw that the Giants cut Ramses Barden out of SLO. Would love to have that guy. 6′ 6″ 224 lb. Use him in the red zone.

    • I remember Ramses being one of your sleeper pks from whatever draft yr that was. 4 yrs ago? He didn’t do much for the G-Men. Had a hard time remaining healthy, I think. And why would we use him in the red zone? Unless you’re the 3rd or 4th TE and /or the 2nd string guard or tackle, Jimbo has no use for you in his play call.

  15. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    Surprise, nobody’s picked up Tebow. His throwing guru Clarkson said today that Tim should go to the CFL and hone his craft. I think I said that at least 6 months ago, or before he even went to New England. ESPN will drop him now. If he goes to the “Alouettes”, who hold his CFL rights, nobody cares. Besides, ESPN’s moved onto the next Tebow — he’s at A&M now…

  16. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Ha ha. Johnny Football will look to travel the hype path as long as he can as well . . .

    Mr. Manzeil, meet Gino Torreta, meet Troy Smith, meet Matt Leinart, meet Jason White, meet Tim Crouch, meet Danny Werfful, meet Ty Detmer. . . .

    It’s amazing the lack of success Heisman winning QBs have. Griffin looks like a player. Cam Newton is doing a good job with a crappy team. Between Jim Plunkett and now you have maybe Flutie, Testaverde, Carson Palmer, and the 2 guys above.

    Shit, Testaverde and Palmer barely qualify.

    Wow. Stumbled across this on the internets. Long as hell, but a history of the low-level grifters that the extended Manziel family is . . .

    Ooops wrong site. . . .

  19. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    If Tebow does NOT go to the CFL to try to be a QB and get his QB skills in order (such as they are), he’ll be exposed as the fraud and media whore I suspect he is. He’s said repeatedly he wants to be a QB, so go to Canada and learn how to be one, then come back to the NFL like Garcia or Warren Moon. If he doesn’t even try it, that’s all lip service…

  20. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Yeah, fucking Warner went to the Arena League. You do what you have to if you really want to hone your craft. Talk is cheap. I suspect he’ll wait for a desperate team to give him a shot in a few weeks. Then, pfffffffffffffft.
