Well, it isn’t quite cut-down day, but the Niners got down to 69 players by cutting the following guys (16 to go):
Pos. – Name
WR – Issac Blakeney
S – Craig Dahl
DT – Darnell Dockett
G – Joe Looney
OL – Patrick Miller
LB – Philip Wheeler
By far the surprise is Darnell Dockett. HE of the tweeting his maladies and spending a lot of time yapping and not playing. It doesn’t bother me too much to see him go, as the D line is the best thing about the team at this point. He’s rarely played anyway, so whatevs.
Dahl? He actually had a decent preseason, so someone may pick him up, but Tartt has blown by him already. The rest? Meh. 2 O linemen getting cut is a bit surprising, but then again, the way they are going about dealing with the line has me confused. Unless they are clearing room for additions to the line.
(Familiar) Guys on the bubble to me appear to be Kendall Hunter and Quinton Patton. Kendall has lost a couple steps and still hasn’t seemed to be fully recovered, and Patton has been passed by Ellington and UDFA DeAndrew White. Let alone Jerome Simpson and Anquan Boldin. Dylan Thompson likely goes to the practice squad, as will TE Rory Anderson. Or they cut him and put Bell on the PS.
The rest? Who knows? I think a coupe more big names will be included. Reggie Bush?
Forty Niners Forever 
Bush makes the team, he didn’t need to play in PS. Defenses will have to account for him. i see him doing big things.
Well, we are throwing screens. Kappy hasn’t but the other guys have.

I’m sure that tweet will go over big at Skeebs where unless it’s negative it ain’t worth discussing.
I would imagine that would be an accurate tweet on cut down day all across the league. Without more to go on to reference the quote, Trotters is tweeting useless information.
A bit more context:

Poor Buwwit misses me so.
Funny, all the animosity coming from camp last year was bullshit. Now it’s Gospel.
V was posting at 9:29 as unnca_chuck on “the other blog.” His post only lasted a few minutes. Skeebers is a fast worker. V is a crazy coot and funny.
Of course he was. He did this on the insider years ago.
Well, at least we aren’t sitting on our hands. The Niners traded a conditional pick for rookie UDFA center Nick Easton of the Ravens. Nee: Harvard. Had a great preseason.

The guy must be smart. Ivy League. Now can he play NFL ball?
Aaaand the Eagles cut Tim Terrific.
Once Bradford goes down, I’m sure they’ll re-sign Tebow as no one else will.
Bradford has been like a glass slipper in the NFL. Just a question of “when.”
There will likely be a few more moves regarding the line. Another RG soon.
Funny when Harbaugh was in the fold, Buwwitt never complained about the draft. Wonder why that is? Well, since he loves it here, I’ll explain it. Because when Harbaugh was in the fold, the team did no wrong. He was the company man. Praising every move or non-move made by Baalke and co.
Now that his favorite jerk-off material has left for the big house and a 4-8 record, all of a sudden Baalke’s moves are retroactively terrible.
Well, you can rest easy, Chuck. Barring an epidemic of QB injuries this year, at 28 you can RIP Tim Tebow’s NFL career. Too bad, I might have ignored NJ’s warnings about their fans and even rooted for the Eagles a bit this year. I’ll still root for them to beat out the Cowpatties.
It was a nice run while it lasted.
Easton is a good move imho. He’s not only been rated the best rookie O-lineman this pre season but the second best rookie. The same list had Tartt at #8. Amari Cooper was #7
I wonder if Easton will start at some point? If so does Devey or Martin start at RG ?
This could be almost as good as having Kilgore .Does this mean our weakest link is now Pears?
Might be a big move for our O-line. Wonder if we go all in and offer a mid rounder to someone for a RT upgrade.
Finally the 53 man roster emerges from the dregs of practice games…….ah…… pre-season.
Hayne and White both made it.
Sir Spit is ready to give up on football…….too much violence! I wonder if he’ll try a new sport…….perhaps women’s volleyball?
Not terribly surprised that Skov stuck.
He looked pretty comfortable out there this PS.
Moody flat out missed too many tackles IMO.
Kinda strange, that there was talk of Philly having interest in Ponder following the release of Tebow yet, Oakland cut Ponder anyway?
Why not try to get something from Philly?
Brooks is back and will play in game one
Kilgore is eligible game 6
With these and the trade for Easton Im feeling a lot better about things
And as this article suggests, it’s all about grabbing Picks when you can get them.

Which is why I’m curious to see if Ponder lands in Philly.
Oakland might have been smart to try to land a Pick themselves.
That’s certainly worth pondering about.
Chip snagged QB Stephen Morris from the Jags instead of Ponder.
Go figure?
Who gives a fuck about Ponder.
With the cut of James Looney the book is officially closed on Trent Baalke’s disastrous draft class of 2012 which of course included our #1 pick AJ “Bust” Jenkins!!!
I was excited to see LaMichael James picked. Oh well.
Me too, LMJ had the credentials but just couldn’t quite turn the corner. You just never know about the draft. But, I don’t see how any draft could be worse that our 2012. Did we get Mcgrew and Drunkenmuellier(sp) in the same draft? If we did then that was a stinker too.
The Eagles picked up Stephen Morris, UDFA waived by the Jags. Younger.
WINDER
The 2012 draft was when we drafted pretty much dead last .
At the time we had easily one of the 3 or so best rosters in football. Meaning we had no significant needs. Except one. The Nolan years had left us devoid of talented players with SPEED.
IMHO because we were loaded with talent but lacked speed both Baalke and Harbaugh just took a flyer and went all in for team speed.
Thus we got Jenkins and James with our one and two.
Both were offensive players I mite add
The rest of the draft rd. 3 thru 7 was a crap shoot us drafting so far back.
Baalke is our best hope IMHO and was GM of the year a couple years back and with good reason.
He’s given us a deep roster .
Anyone who thinks Baalke sucks as a GM is a fucking imbecile
