Good (insert time of day here) everyone. Got a couple links for you today, though not as many as yesterday. In fact, I'm going to start leaving links out! From what I can tell, when I have more links in the Nuggets I actually get very little comments on the links. Of course, I'm like a little preteen girl checking her MySpace Photo Album when it comes to comments, I love 'em. ESPECIALLY if they're singing my praise, really brings me up. (Been having a really rough couple of days, hint hint.) So instead I'm only going to give you a couple! In actuality though, I just simply don't have a whole lot because well... nothing happened yesterday and it doesn't look like anything is happening today. Still, should be able to come up with a couple previews and what not for you. Enjoy.
Coach Mike Singletary has reached a critical point in his first season as the 49ers head coach. (SacBee.com)
The team is in no hurry to change its offensive philosophy. (PressDemocrat.com)
Jimmy Raye specifically, says the team will stick to its blueprint as far as offense goes. Call me unconvinced, and if they do--well, I think we'll be screwed. (MercuryNews.com)
Ricky Jean-Francois is looking to get his first regular season action on Sunday and Kentwan Balmer is looking to have an increased role. This is all of course because of the injury to Demetric Evans, a player I've been (rather vocally) against. (PressDemocrat.com)
The Titans will come in hoping to test the 49ers run defense. (49ers.com)
The 49ers need to go to the spread... but sloooooowly. (SFGate.com)
Jimmy Raye has some thoughts on the spread and the running game. (PressDemocrat.com)
Here you can listen to the audio of a couple of the conference calls from the Titans. (SFGate.com)
Frank Gore is having a weird year as far as rushing is concerned. I'm not sure exactly how to look at it, good or bad. (SFGate.com)
Didn't get a chance to read this article but it has to do with the 49ers and their third down woes. (SFGate.com)
Alex Smith and Vince Young are returning from some pretty rough roads as far as quarterbacks go. (MercuryNews.com)
The team seems confident in Barry Sims. Oh God. I'm not. Not in the very least. (SacBee.com)

I'll bite
why not spit us some rap lyrics, that’ll boost your comment hit.
the nuggets are usually so good, that nothing needs to be said about them, because the links do the talking, which is a testiment of how good a job you do.
punk.

I'm an English major, etc etc.
You try doing these things every day at 3 AM and not make a mistake every now and then.

Ha ha - I only posted because you were a bit needy for some love ...
… figured I’d mess with you a bit. Much love and respect James. Please don’t start rapping at me ;)
Do you seriously do these at 3am? I always assumed you lived in a Nuggets-friendly timezone?

I do them anywhere between 11PM and 2:30 AM.
When I do them earlier, I generally make myself wake up again around 2:45 AM to try and edit them and add in any links that appeared after Midnight.

Strewth, talk about commitment ...
… you probably don’t need an English idiot calling our your grammar after that sort of shift my friend, but I was just playing. You do a very good job!

Well thanks!
But you’re not exactly an idiot! By the way, are you actually living in London right now? I’m going to be making a trip there for the first time in January-February.

I live just outside London in Hertfordshire ...
… but work in west London, so I’m in London more than I’m not, as my wife will wearily testify after my 55, 60-hour weeks! If you want to see a friendly face for a drink, James, drop me an email (you guys who write for the site have our email addresses right?) and I’ll buy you a good English pint of beer!

I don't, actually.
I mean, I’m not sure whether or not I could get that information but currently, I don’t. Mine is ninnyjams@gmail.com if you want to email me so it isn’t public, but that definitely sounds like something I need to do when I get there.

Alaska is a state, dammit! Can I get a Niner game on TV up here?

I Am Worried About The Rush Defense
But believe it or not i am not all too worried about Johnson. The 48ers have proven to be stout against opposing running backs, even the best of them. This is not just during the 2009 season but dates back to the last half of 2008. I am worried about Vince Young on draws or when the pocket collapses on him and that is where the likes of Patrick Willis, Takeo Spikes, Scott Mckillop and even to some extent Dashon Goldson comes into play. We can’t have Willis spy the QB all day because that takes away from the amazing impact he has all over the field on defense, Spikes is a little banged up so we may see Mckillop a little bit more which is really good because he is our LB of the future opposite Willis, maybe he can spy Young. Or it is even possible we could use a rotation of 6 different players when it comes to this. Trust me Menusky’s game plan will not fail us, especially what he did against Indianapolis.
The reason why i say i am not too worried about Chris Johnson is this.
Joseph Addai: 20 rush 62 Yards 3.1 Avg Long 13
Steve Slaton: 18 rush 67 Yards 3.7 Avg Td Long 31
Michael Turner: 22 rush 97 Yards 4.4 Avg 3 Td Long 41
Stephen Jackson: 23 rush 79 Yards 3.4 Avg Long 15
Adrian Peterson 19 rush 85 Yards 4.5 Avg Long 35
Julias Jones: 8 rush 11 Yards 1.4 Avg Long 7
Tim Hightower: 8 rush 15 Yards 1.8 Avg Long 6
End of 2008
Clinton Portis 29 rush 80 Yards 2.8a Avg Long 5
Stephen Jackson 22 rush 61 Yards 2..8 Avg Long 17
Ronnie Brown 10 rush 67 Yards 6.7 Avg Long 18
Thomas Brown 10 rush 56 Yards 5,6 Avg Td Long 16
So over the last 11 games the 49ers have not allowed a 100 yard rusher and have limited opposing RB’s to 5 TD’s combined..
Lets think about this for a second.
Total
189 Rushes 665 Yards 3.5 Avg Long 41
Average Per Game
17 Rush 60.5 Yards
Now Take Away The 3 30+ Yard rushes and you have this
186 Rushes 545 Yards 2.9 Avg
