Golden Nuggets: We must tame the wildcat!
Hey guys. I gotta say, I'm tired. I've gone back and forth over how I think this game is going to end up. At one point I was convinced we'd roll all over them and blow them at, at another I was worried we might lose. At another I was wishing the season was over and I'm not sure why. At any rate, right now I'm sitting casually at "this is winnable." and I'm thinking something of a ten point victory. I don't have much else to say really, other than enjoy the links and I cant wait for Sunday.
Edit for lulz: So I searched for "Dolphins 49ers preview" and I forgot to put 2008. I gotta say I feel stupid right now because I read this link for a good five minutes very confused before I realized that it was from 2004. ("since the quarterback’s problems aren’t all his own fault. San Francisco’s offensive line has struggled mightily, failing to protect Rattay" Sound familiar?) (Yahoo.com)
We'll start with what scares me the most. News about DeShaun Foster. He's ready to go, very much so. Which is good, I hope. (SFGate.com)
Here's an article courtesy of Fooch (and I believe from him, courtesy of our Dolphins blogger) about Frank Gore from a Miami-based writer. (Sun-Sentinel.com)
While I was there I found this article about our ex-practice squad WR Chris Hannon. It seems the Dolphins have quizzed him on the 49ers and some of their tendencies. The article assures us, however that nothing shady is going on. (Sun-Sentinel.com)

Man. I hope Vernon Davis doesn't get penalized too much. I doubt anybody can prevent it though, Joey Porter is gonna run his mouth with the best of 'em. (MercuryNews.com)

I'm hoping Josh Morgan gets some playing time, Singletary said he expects him to be active, but Johnson will start over him. (SacBee.com)

This article states we should hire Scott Pioli as 49er’s president. Personally, I agree with the move and have been thinking about it all season. (SFGate.com)

Pioli
Would he really leave the role he’s got in New England? Possible, but I don’t know how likely that is. Maybe the way the team decides to handle Cassel will help decide.

The article makes a good point in
that he might want to prove himself without Hoody. Which I agree with.

Not everyone wants to...
… “prove” themselves though. People can get into a situation they really like and opt to stay in that position. Monte Kiffin has always been one of the better defensive coordinators in the league, but he’s never been a head coach ever.
I suppose it’s possible, I just find it difficult to think he would leave Belichick while everything’s all “fine and dandy.”
Don’t get me wrong, I’d be all for the idea. I’m just not sure how feasible it is. Also, I don’t agree with Gay’s opinion that the entire front office structure needs to be “reinvented” by Pioli, if he comes in. That’s another issue for another time, though.
