Just got word from Coach Shanahan that Brock Purdy has been cleared to practice with the team as camp opens on Thursday. Purdy is “cleared without restriction” per Shanny. This is excellent news.
But let’s hope he can stay healthy. We have an unnerving ability to get our quarterbacks hurt, but let’s focus on the good. Purdy is the #1 at this point and time, and I don’t see anything changing, and the roster is pretty much set in stone at this point. The big fight appears to be who is the #2 quarterback, and did we waste another 3rd round pick on a RB who is soon to be cut for a UDFA. As in Klahan Laborn beating out Ty Davis-Price. A la Jordan Mason beating out Trey Sermon. The list of successful UDFA RBs goes back to Shanny’s 1st season here, so I’m glad we used the usual wasted 3rd round RB spot for a kicker.
Sam linebacker is about the only starting spot up for grabs. Oren Burkes looks to beat out the long-winded Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles and become the starting strong side linebacker after his strong showing last year when the Al-Shaair went down.
Amazingly, despite 25 free agents, the 49ers only lost a few starters, returning 19 of 22 of them. The most obvious being Mike McGlinchey. They also lost Samuel Ebukam and Azeez Al-Shaair. Ebukam has been replaced by Mike Hargraves, and that spot looks upgraded. And the previously mentioned Sam LB spot is up for grabs between DFF, Burkes, and late draft picks Dee Winters and Jalen Graham.
I’m still worried about our offensive line depth. Or lack thereof. Jaylon Moore, a 5th round pick from a couple years ago, likely won’t make the team. And that is bad news considering he couldn’t beat out Matt Pryor, a less than average guy we picked up off the slag heap. Nik Zakelj looks to be on the firing line very quickly if (when) Trent Williams gets dinged up, or Colton McKivitz kivitzes his way out of the starting spot. Hopefully we can get someone better after cuts start happening. The 49ers have a knack for turning shit to gold with their linemen (and running backs), but I think we NEED more depth.

Hey Ho, Let’s Goooooo!!!!
Winder, is your posting here any better? Do you have this same problem on Flav’s blog?
No it’s not better and I have the same problem at Flav’s also. I think it’s because I am using an apple and it just doesn’t want me to have WordPress remember my sign in. I have another computer I use to listen to music while I exercise and I will try and see if it’s a problem on that one too. I never had an apple before and am still trying to navigate this fucking thing.
Just read that Harbaugh is gonna get suspended for 4 weeks for recruiting violations. Really happy about the Purdy news. Just hope he doesn’t get hammered to bad this year. I have a feeling this year is gonna be real interesting barring any serious injuries.
Hmmm. I have a Mac and don’t have problems. My iPhone however is like that, though.
lol. Except Joe wouldn’t get picked off!

yep it looks like it’s because of the apple because my other one remembers everything
And since Jimmy passed his physical, we get another comp pick.
We have 6 (!!!) next season along with getting our 1st round pick back.
If I’m reading this right, we get:
Rd 3 pick for Ryans
Rd 3 pick for Jimmy
Rd 3 pick for McGlinchey
Rd 5 pick for Ebukam
Rd 5 pick for Omenihu
Rd 6 pick for Moseley
I sure hope you are right about that. 3 3rd’s and 2 5th’s is a gold mine for us.
Didn’t we get a 3 for Saleh?
Yep. We get 3 3rd round comp picks next year. Checked it out.
I’m reading some sites that say we don’t get a comp pick for Jimmy because we signed Hargraves, but I just read today we get a pick. And we get a pick for the Carthon hire not listed above. All that is missing is the 5th rounder for CMC.
12 picks tho. Damn
1st Round pick
2nd Round pick
3rd Round pick
3rd Round compensatory pick for Carthon)
3rd Round compensatory pick for McGlinchey
3rd Round compensatory pick for Ryans
4th Round Pick
5th Round compensatory pick for Ebukam
5th Round compensatory pick for Omenihu
6th Round Pick
6th Round compensatory pick for Moseley
7th Round Pick
I guess I feel this way every ST but it seems I am more jazzed about this one. Aiyuk seems to have upped his game and it really looks like our WR’s are the best we’ve had in awhile. Can’t wait until the pads come on.

Looks like I figured out how to work this without having to sign in everytime
Now all I vgotta do is figure out how to copy and paste music video’s when apple doesn’t give you the full address. I guess the security is better on one of these but they sure are fucking difficult to figure out at least for me.
Glad you figured it out. Still can’t do it from my phone, but I hate typing on my phone anyway.
If you are in youtube, you should be able to tap the address once and the whole thing shows up. You can then copy it.
RIP Sinead O’Connor. Not a huge fan of hers, but she had a fantastic singing voice. And anyone that can garner the anger from the Catholic church that she did is alright in my book.
She was WAY ahead of all the sexual abuse allegations that rained down on the church.
…
I guess you get the whole package this way but I don’t know how to do it any different. This one gives you a bunch of Monk songs.
….
Chuck- do me a favor and click the sign in button on either one of the last two video’s and see what it does. I am just curious if it goes to my sign in address. And if it does please delete the last two videos for me. And I guess if I want to post some I will have to do it on another computer. Thanks
It worked. The Monks!
You can bet we’re not going to see Nick Bosa in camp till he locks in the largest contract for an NFL Defensive Player especially after Joe Burrow was carted off the field today with a non contact injured right calf injury.I don’t get the Bengals thinking when they practiced the day before and Burrow mentioned his calf was sore and he put on a protected sleeve for this practice which obviously didn’t help.Bengals.Should of shut him down immediately and got him more treatment!
Bosa is no fool and he knows it’s not worth practicing till the new signed deal is done, and I agree..

Hmm. Never seen that type of link from Youtube. My links usually you get the vid to show
This links different.
That’s why I wanted to see what would happen if you clicked the google sign in button and would it show my sign in or yours.
Winder, go to YouTube first to look up music. See if it works that way.
I tried sharing a King Crimson video 2 or 3 days ago and it did not transfer. It was One Time, live in Tokyo 2003. I was thinking that maybe t went to your spam?
Hmmm I ll check
Weird. Yeah, it got spammed. I allow 4 links per post so it shouldn’t get caught.
Here’s Bergs’s’s post.
That was really nice.

chuck- I seem to be having trouble with my computer would you please delete both of the Monk video’s at 11:51 and 11:58 thanks
I killed ’em. Site looks legit though. Not sure that’s the problem.
Saw that version of King Crimson a couple times. For Discipline and Beat tours. unreal.
I saw King Crimson only once. It was 1981, Perkins Palace in Pasadena. I was a great show.
Oops, I was sitting in the back and not part of the show, LOL! It should’ve read ‘It’ instead of ‘I’.
Adrian Belew was on that tour, right?
Yes
I’m sure you were, Bergs.

Bears use outside zone also so this scouts thoughts on OL make this a good read.
I’ll move that to the new thread BT. Good stuff.
