Golden Nuggets: Well, Morgan it is then

by James Brady on Nov 18, 2009 3:15 AM PST in 49ers Links

Morning everyone. Today I've got more links for you than I did yesterday, but I'm in a huge rush after a rather bad day. The first of the previews for Sunday's game against the Packers are rolling in as well as some articles concerning the 49ers wide receivers and who will be starting. Other than that, I don't think I have a whole lot for you. As I'm in a hurry I'll just get to your links.

WR Josh Morgan is now the starter instead of Isaac Bruce. (SacBee.com)

Wilhelm and Willis made a nice combo when Takeo Spikes was out with an injury, I suppose it's good that the backup performs well--but I'll take Spikes over any other TED linebacker in the league any day. (SacBee.com)

Singletary wants the 49ers to commit less penalties. I hadn't noticed too many really, but looking at the numbers I suppose there's too many. (Yahoo.com)

Mike Singletary says LT Barry Sims is playing "outstanding football." I never thought I'd say that. (49ers.com)

Here's more about Josh Morgan and how he hopes to progress as a wide receiver. (SFGate.com)

What does everyone here think of the Crabtree-Morgan receiving duo? (MercuryNews.com)

Here's yesterday's edition of Singletary's Notebook. (49ers.com)

Hm.. what do you think of Kentwan Balmer? I'm not convinced, I think he's a bust and a terrible draft choice. Maybe that's just me. (PressDemocrat.com)

Sunday Alex Smith gets his chance to show that he was the right choice over Aaron Rodgers. Keep dreaming, Alex. (Scout.com)

Here's a decent preview of Sunday's game. (49ers.com)

Here is even MORE on Josh Morgan. Kids in the spotlight, I guess. (SacBee.com)

Over at NFL.com they have a week eleven preview, which of course includes the 49ers game. (NFL.com)

“based on a link to a blog called ‘Niners Nation.’”

I for one do not appreciate that tone!

It's too early to call Balmer a bust

He’s shown decent improvement from first to second year, so I’m willing to give him the rest of this year plus one more before I decide how I feel.

Eh. There were much better picks available.

I guess hindsight is 20/20, however.

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

That's true

though there are very few players in every draft who can say that there weren’t better players available after them

Sorry, you got my pet peeve:

Singletary wants the Niners to commit fewer penalties.

Jason Hill is turning the corner!

Sticking to the old “number” rule you’d be right. Actually, upon further review, this is a rare case where both are actually grammatically correct. Though once again, I implore all my readers to go easy on my grammar when I do these posts considering I do them at two in the morning my time; not to mention the aforementioned fact that I hadn’t had a good day at all.

I guess you're right about that.

Though most of the time, the penalties the Niners have suffered this year have been of the 5-yard ticky-tack (coughVernonWhyCan’tYouStopFalseStarting?!cough) variety rather than the 40+ yard PI variety.

Jason Hill is turning the corner!
