by James Brady on Dec 10, 2008 3:21 AM PST in 49ers Links

The links have been updated in the comments by Fooch and myself--check 'em out. MOST RECENT: 5:44 PM PST

Hey all, James here, etc. I'm pretty surprised--there's just about no news yet. I'll post what I can find but the list is seriously lacking as of what I can see right now. I'll make sure I'm on every thirty minutes or so to update so you can have some substance at least. At any rate, here's the small number of links and if you come back make sure to check the comments for more.One thing to note is that there's not a lot today because I updated yesterday so if you didn't catch 'em.. There's some quality links in yesterday's Nuggets and the comments section. I almost didn't want to post this because it seems so lacking but I assure you I will try and update. Enjoy.

This article gets first because its interesting. Has nothing to do with the current Niners or our next game... But this guy says Ed Reed is better than Ronnie Lott was. (SportsLine.com)

Here's some first half notes and quotes from Kevin Lynch for last Sunday against the Jets. (SFGate.com)

49ers build bikes for kids. Breaking news. (49ers.com)

EDIT: Maiocco is apparently reporting that Martz is no longer a candidate for head coach at SDSU but I cant seem to get his blog to load to link to it.

Wow that's all for now. Exciting, no?

Random stuff

So the guys over at Kissing Suzy Kolber had an article about Bill Cowher yesterday. In discussing the 49ers as an option, they linked to my post about Jed York. Amusing article either way.

Turns out Joe Staley has a blog at 49ersfaithful.net (a fan thing set up by the 49ers). In his latest post he discusses his touchdown and being a Sharks fan. (49ersfaithful.net)

At 49ers.com, another thing by Staley as he reviews the Jets game. (49ers.com)

From the Lynch Notes linked above

Part of the reason Shaun Hill wasn’t given much of a chance in training camp was because Mike Martz was frustrated by his inability to throw before the receiver broke.

I guess that ability comes with understanding (and trusting) the system more.

Reed vs Lott

I think Freeman is an idiot for even suggesting that Reed is flat-out, no-question, better than Lott.

If you take the first six years of each player’s career, the numbers are pretty similar EXCEPT for the number of tackles Lott made. Now that’s a very poor way of differentiating the two players (as a safety with lots of tackles could mean that the front seven sucks), but the difference is almost 200 tackles.

Maybe Reed is better. There’s no question that he has a hell of a lot more physical ability than Lott did. I just don’t think it’s as clear cut as Freeman makes it out to be, though.

Heres a few more

Maiocco says Gore’s status is not looking good for Sunday’s game. (PressDemocrat.com)

One possible reason the 49ers have yet to remove the interim tag from Singletary is that they’re not allowed to during the regular season. (PressDemocrat.com)

Here’s the Martz/SDSU link from Maiocco that I couldn’t access earlier. (PressDemocrat.com)

Here’s an awesome article about the beast himself, Patrick Willis. (ESPN.com)

Aaand an article about defending the wildcat. Do we fear it at this point? Its seemed to have slowed down. (49ers.com)

Here's another

49ers signed RB/FB Carl Stewart to the practice squad and the Jaguars signed Atiyyah Ellison from our squad. Could this be in anticipation of signing Clayton? I think so. (SacBee.com)
