Golden Nuggets: Bruuuuuce

Fads ftw? Anyway, the one thing I want out of this game (other than a win of course) is for Isaac Bruce to get some good yardage. Either he needs 131 yards in this game, or at least quite a few to set him up nicely against his old team, the Rams, I'd like to see him pass Tim Brown and become second on the NFL's all-time receiving list. I lied, actually, I want a helluva lot more. I want Gore to get 22 and I want DeShaun Foster to show he's worth the two million or so we dropped for him. I want Thomas Clayton in to play and I want to see him prove himself. I want to see Michael Robinson own the Dolphins in a wildcat formation. In other words, I want utter domination of this football game in all of those catagories. It likely wont happen, but I can dream--yes?

We're hoping Allen Rossum will be back Sunday against Miami returning punts. (SFGate.com)

If not, WR Dominique Zeigler will be the punt returner with Battle out. Also, unrelated to punt returns: Bruuuuuuuuuuuce. (SFGate.com)

HB Michael Robinson believes he knows what he's doing in the Wildcat formation. Honestly, I'd like to see him throw a few passes from it, maybe not at a crucial time but it'd be interesting. (PressDemocrat.com)

Matt Maiocco writes about ex-49er WR Antonio Bryant. I wasn't exactly upset when we released him, but I was definitely surprised. The guy is coming back strongly. (PressDemocrat.com)

The Dolphins are concerned about Isaac Bruce--they should be. (MercuryNews.com)

Another article about Shaun Hill not having a strong arm, I thought these would all be gone by now, but sure enough here's another. (SacBee.com)

Patrick Willis did not get fined for his big hit on Brad Smith. Good news. (SacBee.com)

Samuel Lam covers the running back situation for Sunday's game. (MVN.com)

Here's a weather update for Sunday's game. (NFL.com)

And the short preview video. (NFL.com)

Here's this week's Coordinators Corner. (49ers.com)

And yesterday's Singletary's Notebook. (49ers.com)

Aubrayo Franklin is getting some more love from the team. (49ers.com)

NFL.com lists the 49ers as one of the teams within reach of a road victory this week. (NFL.com)

Hm. Nobody at our resident Dolphins blog is picking the Niners to win Sunday. I'm shocked! (ThePhinsider.com)

I wanted to throw this article in here even though its completely unrelated to the 49ers and in fact, completely fake. It made me laugh pretty good and I must share it. [Its about the Lions! Its bound to be good.] (BleacherReport.com)

And that is all for now. Enjoy, enjoy.

Re:

I, too, would like to see Robinson at least air it out. It’s been WEEKS in the making.

As for Bryant. If the 49ers had kept him, wouldn’t he have had to serve a long suspension anyway? I could have sworn that the league offices had it in for him so bad that they said any team that had signed him last season would have been signing him to serve a suspension. In any case, it’s rare to see Nolan admitting he made a mistake. It’s even MORE interesting that the front office didn’t want Bryant back when Nolan wanted to bring him back.

Here's one or two more

Thomas Clayton has been signed to the active roster, Arnaz Battle placed on IR. But you already knew this, yes? The article also provides some key matchups for Sunday. (PressDemocrat.com)

I guess Dolphins fans don’t know what it means to have confidence. Sure, Davis runs his mouth—but Frank Gore? Really? Thinking that we’ll beat the Dolphins is talking trash? That’s cool. “And I never had anything against the 49ers…until now.” God there’s so much I want to say. However, not being childish and of course, site decorum prevents me. (ThePhinsider.com)
