As we get closer and close to the end of our season, I'm getting more and more... anxious. I just want it finalized, I want to see it declared that Singletary is returning next season as our head coach. I want to see if he has a plan, I want to see if we keep DeShaun Foster and if Takeo Spikes stays, etc. There's so much going on I almost couldn't care less about the Redskins game, all I want out of that is solid play and hopefully a Thomas Clayton sighting. Gore's 22 yards would be nice as well but I don't want the guy hurt. I cant wait to start reading and covering this offseason. It should be interesting to say the least. That being said, enjoy your links.

So what do you think we need to address in the draft first and foremost? I agree with this article in that we definitely need an impact receiver to free up some room for Gore next season. Also to note is the link within this link to the thread on the official forums about trading Frank Gore... I think its a mistake, a big one. (RealFootball365.com)

Sooo, the Dolphins signed Derek Smith and waived WR Chris Hannon. I'm sorry, but I'm just about positive they signed the guy solely to quiz him on us. There's no doubt in my mind. (Sun-Sentinel.com)

Vernon Davis' brother, Vontae Davis is the first underclassmen to declare for the draft. I really like this guy and I can honestly see us trying to get him if possible. He's got attitude problems, and if we keep Singletary then... Well, I see no problems there. (3rdStringSafety.com)
