Golden Nuggets: Transition all you want, just win a game!

by Ninjames on Nov 11, 2009 3:00 AM PST in Golden Nuggets Comment 14 comments

So after a full day of playing my new video game until it hurts to keep my eyes open, I'm ready to do some thinking about my Niners. They're troubling thoughts, this season honestly felt different from seasons past. It however, isn't looking so good. Still, I'm not going to give up. I'll be leaving very early for the game tomorrow and I'll be rooting just as hard as everyone else in that stadium. Also, I just thought I'd throw this out there--if any of you readers are attending a game this season and want to meet up or anything like that--I have season tickets so I'll be at every home game. I bring this up because every now and then I find myself looking around during a game and wondering if any of you are there. I'm seriously hoping none of you are the guy a few seats to the right of me who will not stop with the "COME ON ALEX, DON'T BE SHY. HIT YOUR TIGHT END OVER THE MIDDLE!" on every single play, even like... when the punter is out there. I think he said it a few times while the defense was out on the field to. Anyway, on to the links!

I'm all for the offense being in a transition, so long as it's a positive one. If more shotgun will help, then bring on more shotgun. I'm not a coach, so I can't really say what I think will work the best, I just want whatever it is to actually work. (Scout.com)

A good look at WR Jason Hill and his rise into the starting lineup. I've been all for Hill, ever since Zeigler got put on the practice squad again I've been a staunch supporter of Hill. He's explosive, has great speed and has the route running skills akin to Isaac Bruce. (PressDemocrat.com)

Hm, another midseason report card for the 49ers. That's two sources and two times the coaching staff has received a C grade. (Scout.com)

QB Alex Smith is moving on and concentrating on the game against Chicago. He'll need to be incredibly focused to win this one. (Yahoo.com)

Davis had some words concerning the Bears; and also some quotes from Alex Smith. (PressDemocrat.com)

Seriously, props to who made this video, it's every pass that Nate Davis threw in the preseason, and it's.. impressive. (49ersWebZone.com)

Specifically, Vernon Davis thinks that the 49ers could "destroy their front." I certainly hope so. (MercuryNews.com)

I'm pretty pessimistic myself, but this article DOES say it best: "Too Early To Say It's Over." (49ersFancast)

LB Lance Briggs harbors no hard feelings towards the 49ers after all that tampering nonsense took place. (PressDemocrat.com)

RB Glen Coffee will for sure miss tomorrow's game. (NFL.com)

How about a midseason analysis? I didn't read it, but you may want to. (SFGate.com)

How about another midseason report card while we're at it? Always a good read, in my opinion. (Examiner.com)

WR Jason Hill is making the most out of his chance. (SFGate.com)

Yep, got it at Midnight on Tuesday.

You can never resist the game... nor could I... we're the same, so don't even try.

"Come on Alex, you can do it; come on Alex, there's nothing to it"

You are you haven’t got the lead singer from the Arcade Fire sitting next to you at the ’Stick, James?

That nate Davis Video showed a few things to me

Our line wasn’t doing very good, Davis has a rocket for an arm and a really good feel for the pocket collapsing.

I’d like to see him get a shot at some point, preferably next year, let him have a full year and offseason before moving him up the depth chart. I see him as the number 2 next year and getting some time assuming Alex pulls it together this years.

Saw the same thing,

I know people aren’t on the Jimmy Raye band wagon but I hope he sticks around. Smith and Davis will both benefit from having the same OC for two years in a row. Why does that seem like a novelty?

This is exactly right

the best thing for this team going forward is KEEPING THE SAME OC FOR MORE THAN A SEASON!

I’ll tell you the one thing I’m most tired of with this team is the revolving door at offensive coordinator. Tom Moore’s been in Indy for 13 years! Let’s have some continuity, and enough with these people wanting to fire Raye or ditch Smith just because we’re average. Let this core of players GROW TOGETHER. Then maybe we’ll have something.

+10

I know, with the same lack of time to throw I thought he made good decisions and great throws, on time. Plus the kid is mobile.

You can say it was against scrubs but I saw him fit some balls in tight spaces, between zones, etc. What’s the difference if it’s scrubs? He had little time, well covered receivers on some throws, and he made good throws. You wont see many balls that the receiver had to make a big adjustment on. He was on the money.

2010 He should compete for the starting job.
