Joe Staley, Nate Clements injury updates/MNF Thread

The 49ers just released updated information.  Since we also need a Monday Night Football thread, feel free to use this for everything.

The 49ers are reporting that CB Nate Clements suffered a right fractured scapula Sunday and will be sidelined 6-8 weeks.  LT Joe Staley suffered sprains to the MCL and PCL of his right knee and will be sidelined for 6 weeks.  DT Demetric Evans suffered an AC sprain in his left shoulder and will miss 3 weeks.

This is definitely not a good thing.  The Staley injury means Barry Sims will be in the starting lineup for the next six weeks at least.  Something a bit more interesting is that maybe this means Alex Boone will be coming off the practice squad.  When a player is signed off the PS he has to stay on the roster for at least three weeks, which wouldn't be a problem in this case.

Enjoy what should be a fun Falcons-Saints game tonight.

screwed myself this week.

ive got colston, turner, gonzales, carney, and the NO D. hopefully a shootout, but then the d kills me, slaton already did awesome this week for -1 point.

by pwarren85 on Nov 2, 2009 5:10 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

My first pick was Slaton

who was benched this week for Ryan Moats. And I had Owen Daniels too, he was best tight end in fantasy so far this year.

i got stuck picking first.. and i didnt trust ap.

so i grabbed turner, and slaton 20 picks later… he has been garbage. didnt help that manning was only worth 13 this week, (however id rather get no points and have the niners d show up like it did.)
grabbed moats today.

Barry Sims did well

so far. how long before we start seeing the Barry Sims of 2009 rear his ugly head?

perhaps he’ll do fine in the next six weeks, but I’m not exactly thrilled that Sims is going to be the starting LT for the next several weeks.

by Andrew Davidson on Nov 2, 2009 6:54 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Teams have no real depth at O-Tackle

Unlike DB, the best backup is a Barry Sims, a guy with experience. The bigger problem is that without Staley and Pashos, we have no room for error if Snyder or Sims gets hurt. This is bad.

He’s a pancake artists on running plays, however often misses his assignment in pass protection. Probably better suited to play guard.

I have to wonder. I know very little about personnel at the NFL level, obviously I’m not a GM or otherwise employed as even a water-boy…but why we have guys who don’t even suit up, don’t play ST’s, I just don’t get. If you’re saving them for injuries fine. Well we now have injuries to two other positions (departments more like it, O-Line and Secondary)…with Staley, Pashos, Clements, and the other DB’s we have banged up…why not let Spurlock and some of these other 7 receivers go? Even if we became a 4-wide team I think those extra receivers can handle playing a few snaps a game without getting tired…

funny you say that

because I benched Ahmad Bradshaw in order to have Mike Bell going on MNF (and because Bradshaw’s foot), and now, because Roddy White is being a prick, I’m tied in that FF contest.

Here’s hoping Mike Bell scores a TD and kicks the XP, because the guy I’m playing also has John Carney going.

Cody is our COF

Center of the Future, it’s hard for college guys to transition to the pro level at Center, so there’s no reason to scramble his brains with moving him to guard. Let him learn from Heitmann, so we have a suitable replacement when we come to that bridge.

It’s too early to start switching Cody to G, let him stink at C first.

by Andrew Davidson on Nov 2, 2009 6:59 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

when he was drafted they said theyd alternate him b/t G and C

That was probably Nolans mindset, Sing is probably content with letting him learn all he can about being a center for 2-3 years, like you said

are you aware

that Atlanta has a much better O-Line? Granted I was all about signing RFA Tyson Clabo and giving up the draft compensation, but the Falcons are a much better offense and a much more cohesive unit.

I’d like to see more than the ISO and the Motion ISO plays, but thinking Off-Tackle will work as effectively for us as it does for the Falcons is silly. I’d like to see more Off-Tackle and Trap plays, but are our O-Line good enough to pull and get outside on Off-Tackle or Trap plays?

by Andrew Davidson on Nov 2, 2009 7:01 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Both Staley and Clements are gonna hurt.

This defense wont be as stubborn in against the running game without Nate. It will be a noticable loss 3 weeks from now.

The o-line was already a problem. Now Staley being out is going to make things ugly. Poor Alex, hes gonna be taking hits just like in his first few years.

by Beatclash on Nov 2, 2009 6:49 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

we will survive

We have pretty good depth at CB in Spencer, Brown and Bly, and Clements hasn’t been tackling as well as he has been in recent seasons.

I’d like to see Curtis Taylor get more playing time over Mark Roman, because watching Roman whiff on that potential INT on Manning was brutally painful to watch.

by Andrew Davidson on Nov 2, 2009 7:03 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Yep

Staley is the bigger hit. We’ll miss Nate vs Arizona unless that’s his return game but we can survive his injury due to the secondary depth. I so hope that Reggie Smith gets healthy. Without a Nate, we need Reggie in dime packages.

but seriously that trade was an outrage, because I’m a Spurs fan. then again, the Spurs made a nice fleecing at the Bucks expense to get Richard Jefferson so it doesn’t bother me anymore.

by Andrew Davidson on Nov 2, 2009 7:54 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Not the same fleece

No one wanted an aging Richard Jefferson for that contract. Everyone wanted young, premier power forward in Gasol. The crime in that trade is he was secretly offered to just one team, didn’t even bother to let another team submit a bid.

Spikes

well, I believe he’s a cousin of Takeo Spikes, and since TKO is cheap and dirty and a cheater, it’s no surprise members in his family are similar.

on a more serious note, Spikes has been suspended by Florida. You can do a lot more than gouge a players eyes, like for example, Albert Haynesworth using Andre Gurode’s forehead to clean his cleats with.

Yes it isnt the most sickening thing ever

but if i picture myself held down with 300 pounders on me and then when the play is obviously over someone comes over to gouge my eyes, im not sure how furious i would be.

Its more the fact that if you watch the video spikes just runs over after the fact and goes straight for his eyes.

I hear you

I certainly wouldn’t like getting gouge during a game, but I was pretty dirty myself when I needed to be when I played. Not that I ever got caught, nor did I ever try to gouge someone’s eyes out. And most of my underhanded tactis was while the play was still live, and I never intentionally hit someone from behind.

Either way, I think the guy’s a bonehead for doing what he did, didn’t Florida win in an absolute blowout?

I need Roddy White

to have no catches, otherwise I lose!

and Sharper drops an INT? Why Sharpie, why?

by Andrew Davidson on Nov 2, 2009 8:46 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Yes

That’s a fumble!

by bignerd on Nov 2, 2009 8:48 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I thought ATL was out of TOs

and was about to celebrate for a brief moment. darn, but it looks like it’ll be ruled a fumble.

Anyone hear what Gruden said about Payton and the Saints?

They significantly reduced their number of running plays from last year and focused on blocking and being physical. Now they’re the #3 rushing team in the league.

When I was in high school I knew a guy who was state wrestling champ

and he only had three moves in his arsenal, but he knew them so well that he could do them in his sleep.

by smileyman on Nov 2, 2009 8:51 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

having such a great pass attack helps

and Mike Bell doesn’t hurt either, but I feel you man.

Can't forget the mouthpiece

Whaddya want to bet a bunch of coaches order new mouthpieces this week?

by smileyman on Nov 2, 2009 8:46 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

My fantasy team just lost by one point

Because Roddy White couldn’t get one more catch in the 4th quarter. Perfect.

by Brendan Scolari on Nov 2, 2009 8:59 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

I'm about to finish a game with a Tie

because Mike Bell didn’t any goal line touches, or receptions. Stupid me, I benched Bradshaw for him!

by Andrew Davidson on Nov 2, 2009 9:00 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

correction

I just lost the game because of that fumble.

by Andrew Davidson on Nov 2, 2009 9:01 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Wow

That might suck even more. Not sure why the Saints didn’t just kneel there.

by Brendan Scolari on Nov 2, 2009 9:44 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

The point spread will still be up for grabs

Vegas is watching nervously because Bell didn’t put two hands on the ball.

10

And Atlanta can kick a FG to make it an eight point game if they get close enough.

well

maybe the saints will go for the rub-it-in TD when they recover this.

at least you didn’t have coin riding on it.

Why I don't gamble

3rd game, including 2nd Monday Night game I lost a perfect score to a garbage FG.

Stings, considering I got Groug’ed last week.

by bignerd on Nov 2, 2009 9:19 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Next week predictions

Add a FG to the losing team’s score for the MNF game. See if it works.

That was a horrid sack Ryan took

If that were Alex Smith, he’d be called a bust.

ha

yeah both qbs took big shots in the game. decoud’s hit on brees was nasty as well

wanna hear a funny joke? the Buccaneers picked Gaines Adams over Patrick Willis

The game that won't end

Let’s go to OT

very good finish

despite all the negative results this finish provided some NN users (myself included).

by Andrew Davidson on Nov 2, 2009 9:16 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

They should've tried one quick out pass to get a bit closer

But hey. I just wish they had forced OT to make it an even crazier finish.

You gotta bring ass to get ass.

Wtf is going on?

Is the game over yet?

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

the Falcons kicked a FG

then recovered an onside kick, then Ryan threw a pick at the end of the game on a hail mary. exciting finish.

by Andrew Davidson on Nov 2, 2009 9:17 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Saints couldn't cover the spread?

by chikmagnet_565 on Nov 2, 2009 9:18 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Nope

Atlanta had 11 seconds on the hail mary, from midfield. Saints pass rush defensed that really well; outside rusher didn’t get sucked inside, he went to the handed side of the QB and forced Ryan to throw early. Well done.

You gotta bring ass to get ass.

by SpurredOn on Nov 2, 2009 9:20 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

But, but… the Saints cheated by calling that timeout before the onside kick :)

by Hoopers Judge on Nov 2, 2009 9:21 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Injury question

With Evans out three weeks, will we get to RJF get some playing time?

And can we get an injury update on Reggie Smith? With Nate out, when will Reggie be ready to play in the nickel/dime packages.

You gotta bring ass to get ass.

by SpurredOn on Nov 2, 2009 9:28 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

I think so

Someone else should go in the rotation, and there’s no other DE on the roster right?

by Brendan Scolari on Nov 2, 2009 9:45 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Correct

More PT for Balmer and hopefully some first-time PT for RJF.
