Golden Nuggets:I hate bye weeks

Morning folks, James here with your Nuggets. Sorry I've been gone of late, and sorry again for not informing Fooch of my absence so he could get them up every day I missed. Still, I'm back now but as far as my commentary on what's been going on in Ninerland--I don't have much. I've been up and down on the 49ers for the past few days, not sure if I have high hopes or low hopes or any kind of expectations for this team right now. Mostly because I haven't kept up with the 49ers the past couple days aside from a few disheartening posts concerning Jeff Ulbrich, one of my favorite players, Michael Lewis and Kory Sheets. I suppose I'll just get to the links instead of just yammering on about the fact I have nothing to yammer on about.

WR Michael Crabtree is studying hard--getting ready. (MercuryNews.com)

Crabtree will make his NFL debut against the Texans next Sunday. I honestly can't wait to just see him there in uniform. (Yahoo.com)

More on that, and some other notes. (SFGate.com)

Here's a look at the bye week injury report. (PressDemocrat.com)

QB Alex Smith took the first team reps in practice as Shaun Hill is a little banged up. When I first read the headline I was worried--I don't want Smith anywhere near our starting QB position, I just think he's bad. Plain bad. (ProFootballTalk.com)

It appears S Michael Lewis will be readily available to play against the Texans... I mean, until he gets another concussion. (MercuryNews.com)

Focus remains high during bye week.. This is good, I hope Singletary doesn't let the loss loom over the team. (49ers.com)

Star-divide

Roger Goodell has warned Deion Sanders about his involvement with a couple of wide receivers. (SFGate.com)

The 49ers offense needs to catch on soon, I've been stalwart in my support but I'm cracking. (SFGate.com)

Maiocco had a review of every player from Sunday's loss to Atlanta. (PressDemocrat.com)

It seems Arnaz Battle is back on punt returning duties--and I'm not happy at all. Not a little bit, this is the most maddening thing about this team to me is our return game right now and I feel like it's being overlooked. (PressDemocrat.com)

The 49ers had to take their practice indoors. (49ers.com)

Khalif Mitchell is back on the 49ers practice squad, as an offensive lineman. (49ers.com)

Love how Spencer called the OLinemen “round boys.” And then backs it up with “square people.”

"I watch the Wings a lot," says Thornton. "They're the NHL's second-best team."

Well, sometimes Fooch puts together the nuggets.....

What we've got here is a failure to communicate.

Well he's not really criticising me so much...

As last time he was over he sort of joked about it. Still, I wish I could open them differently but I never know what to say.

“YO NINAHS NATION WHASSUP MAYNE HOW BOUT DEM NINAHS GIMMIE A YEEAAH BOOIII SON!!”

Does that work?

by Ninjames on Oct 15, 2009 9:07 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

yes, yes it does

and I will expect something similar tomorrow

by dalien82 on Oct 15, 2009 9:56 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

And close with

“HOLLA AT YA BOY WHEN SEE ME IN THA STREET!”

You gotta bring ass to get ass.

Maybe have Khalif Mitchell return kicks

Lets just have 60 yard race with the slowest guy winning kick return duties. It’s not that terrible of idea. Battle is so boring, in contrast you’d be on the edge of your seat watching Khalif return kicks . . . it’s the same 2 1/2 yard return gain with infinitely more entertainment.

I nominate...

… Kentwan Balmer. He actually has experience!

by sfgfan on Oct 15, 2009 3:58 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

as great as this idea is

somehow I don’t think Singletary would be nearly as amused as we would.
