Joe Staley, Nate Clements injury updates/MNF Thread

PrintThe 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.

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.
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.

The Staley injury just kills. At least there’s some depth at corner.

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
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.
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
can't we get Diet Pepsi Machine

What does he need to work on? Hopefully he’ll step up.

There is a reason that the Raiders were so anxious to get rid of him… for KWAME HARRIS no less.
We will know it soon.

How can that be?
The Browns bring in free agents, they make trades during the draft and even trade at the deadline. Their owner and GM are always wheeling and dealing to bring in talent and better coaches, unlike the Yorks. It doesn’t make sense? IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE!
I hope all the people that criticize the Yorks read this

I haven't even gone into that thread
once Dumb Rich York handed the reigns to Jed York, I’ve been rather pleased. Well, actually once they hired Nolan and starting spending money again I was happy. To top it all off, there may just be a new stadium some day!
I’ve stayed out of the York Bashing thread because I really don’t need that type of stress right now. It’s been years since ownership has been the problem IMO.
Anyway, just had to get that off of my chest, you may resume bashing the Brownies.

It's a troll thread
The same troll had a similar post 3 weeks ago. This time he gave us predictions of immediate doom. Last time he cited Arthur Blank as the utopia of NFL owners and thought the Rooney family was successful because they throw big money at their football operation.
He's annoying
Can’t he be banned for trying to incite violence?

what is it with the niners
and fractures to the scapula?? It is one of the hardest bones to fracture due to the muscular support around it and they have had 3 guys with a broken scapula this season. Crazy

I wouldn’t mind seeing Tebow come in to run the Taser. In other words, take up a roster spot to play two downs in an entire season.

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…
We aren't playing
this week, are we? and if so, which league?
by Andrew Davidson on Nov 2, 2009 6:56 PM PST up reply actions
i went and double checked too
because I thought I had a win wrapped up this week already. and luckily I do, despite the terrible fantasy season I’m having. I’m sub .500 in every league I’m in but 1 (and I’m 6-1 in that league thankfully, about to be 7-1 barring Roddy White going bonkos).
It’s been a rough go at it, that’s for sure.

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 Wallace?
Is he that bad that hes inactive every week but not on the practice squad because we’re afraid of losing him? I really feel like he and Rachal should be alternating if Snyder’s gonna hold it down at RT.
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
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
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.
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
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.
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
I think Nate can come back vs. ARZ

I figured it would be ok for me to flip over to Raw instead of the WS (which I could care less about) and currently Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne are doing a “Raw’s got Talent” spot. Which… looks… not too promising.

remember when the Grizzlies were in Vancouver?
what bugs me most about that, is that in order for Canada to get the two franchises, the NBA insisted that no gambling could be made on the NBA in Canada. [site decorum]ing pricks.
Marc Gasol is looking pretty good this year.
by Andrew Davidson on Nov 2, 2009 7:37 PM PST up reply actions
As soon as he develops into a complete front line talent I expect the Lakers to call him up out of Triple AAA Memphis for Luke Walton and Adam Morrison.
When Kobe’s speedometer breaks in two years I’m sure some farce trade will position Mayo as the heir apparent.
lol
stupid lakers! but on a side note, they did make me some cash for winning game 5. NBA can’t keep me off the internet!
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
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.
That kind of crap happens with government contracts, not professional sports.
oh i agree
I’m just saying it’s easier for me to cope with because I think the Spurs can take the Lakers in a 7-game series come playoff time.
It was an injustice though.
by Andrew Davidson on Nov 2, 2009 8:06 PM PST up reply actions
You're a Spurs fan too?!
A Niners and Spurs fan. Good man! And yes, we all know why Stern didn’t investigate the Gasol trade. Gotta help that marquee franchise win a few more games.
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
Yeah, a Spurs fan
but sadly I don’t keep the excellence trend going, because I’m also a Washington Nationals fan, and a St. Louis Blues fan.
although the Blues aren’t nearly as embarassing as the Nats.
Two out of Four ain’t bad.

I know this isnt MNF or niner related
but who was disgusted with brandon spikes play this weekend. He tried to gouge the eyes of a defensless running back in blatant biew.
if he is ever on the niners i will be=oo him until he is gone.
What are your guys thoughts
I'm guessing he is a LB?
It seems one of those guys gets out of control every other year in either the pros or college.
Yes he is
He is considered premier Lb in college i guess, but i now despise him. I can understand a scuffle or a shoving match, but when a man is defensless and you go after him it is weak to me
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.
by Andrew Davidson on Nov 2, 2009 7:45 PM PST up reply actions
he was suspended for 1 half
thats nothing, and yes you can do worse but it doesnt mean his act was any less worse
1 half?
I did not realize it was that light of a suspension.
I agree the guy did a classless act, but I’m not that sickened by it. He should be suspended for more than 1 half though, that’s a crime in itself.
by Andrew Davidson on Nov 2, 2009 7:51 PM PST up reply actions
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 LOL’d a little bit, because that was incredibly cheap. Did you see the coach on the sideline hand signal for Spikes to go for the eye gouge? Me neither.

I’ll wait for Colts radio announcing crew to give their testimony before concluding the cheating wasn’t signaled in.

Saturday is wax Peyton Manning's Forehead day in Indy
so I doubt the announcers were watching the game. I googled it anyway, apparently the Florida coaches were using ESP to get the signal to Spikes and one of the Colts announcers picked it up. So I guess I was wrong in a sense, but I knew there wasn’t a hand signal.
by Andrew Davidson on Nov 2, 2009 8:11 PM PST up reply actions
Refs suck
How the hell can that Ref signal TD standing right in front of that “TD catch”?
What an idiot, he was literally looking right at it.
to further relieve some stress
how bad would that have been if the Saints were out of Timeouts and couldn’t challenge? or if the team was out of challenges and couldn’t challenge?
That ref needs a stern kick in the rectum, even though the play was over turned. He was standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE PLAY! Damn that pisses me off.

DId anyone just see that stat?
Atlanta owns the second longest streak of drives that end with a TD once it’s entered their opponents 10 yard line, with 8. The #1 team? NINERS. With 9 consecutive. Wasn’t ready for that.
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
incredible
but not that surprising, Martz isn’t the OC, so playcalling inside the 10 is reliable even if a muppet was the OC.
by Andrew Davidson on Nov 2, 2009 8:18 PM PST up reply actions
But think of how far back that goes
All three TDs vs Houston and one of yesterdays were from outside the 10-yd line. Plus one of the two scored by the offense vs the Rams. And both scored vs Seattle. That has to go back to last season.
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
yeah, good point
I slammed Martz for no reason, but I don’t have to take it back, do I?

I'm amused that the play happened mere sedconds
before the 2 min warning so Atlanta is charged a timeout for it.

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.

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.
Next week predictions
Add a FG to the losing team’s score for the MNF game. See if it works.
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
If I bet money there would be a damn chair in my monitor right now
I hate the garbage time in the NFL . . . it’s evil.
That was a horrid sack Ryan took
If that were Alex Smith, he’d be called a bust.

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.

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

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.

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