Golden Nuggets: Better not be like Stokes..

by James Brady on May 1, 2009 3:00 AM PDT in 49ers Links

Morning folks, James here. I'll start off with an apology, I'm pretty busy right now and in somewhat of a hurry, I'm not certain how many links I have for you but as always post any I may miss or wait for Fooch to. Things will be back to business come tomorrow but as far as it goes for today, the linkage may be a little slim depending on what I can find in oh.. the next fifteen minutes. Either way, all that seems to be sticking in my head is that article comparing Michael Crabtree to the likes of say, J.J. Stokes. That's a scary thought, isn't it? I probably wont be able to sleep now, thanks a lot, MerucryNews! Anyway, here's what I've got..

The 49ers signed former Chargers linebacker Marques Harris. (PressDemocrat.com)

They also formerly announced the signing of some undrafted free agents. (MercuryNews.com)

Crabtree talks about being signed by the 49ers. (SFGate.com)

The rookies are ready for work! (49ers.com)

They've arrived for work, ready to go, here's a few first looks. (PressDemocrat.com)

Is QB coach Mike Johnson the future? (MerucryNews.com)

Are the 49ers poised to make an offseason splash? I really hope so.. (PressDemocrat.com)

I appreciated Maiocco...

mentioning how Grbac was with his son in the hospital around the time that Willie Brown said what he said. Being in my mid 20’s, the mid 90’s were the golden years for me, just barely missing the real glory years. I still think about Elvis Grbac sometimes and the expectations he had to live up to- not really fair, following Montana then coming in for Young…..
On another note, Terrell Suggs makes far more sense that Julius Peppers. Peppers, as I’ve been reminded has never played a 3-4, while Suggs has. And Suggs has the experience of playing alongside a guy like Ray Lewis, for P-Will’s sake- these benefits of circumstance should not be overlooked.
Also, the more I hear about these later RD picks we made, the more excited I get. I didn’t watch much LSU last year, but it sounds like we got two good values from their D. And Bear Pascoe, OM frikkin G- I just want to see this guy hit somebody already.

Grbac story

Willie Brown is useless.

Suggs

Would be amazing! I think it would bring a tear to my eye. We would have a beastly LB corp.

In Shaun Hill will trust

Johnson

I think Maiocco and/or Barrows speculated that Johnson may have been brought in to try to build a line of succession at OC. I don’t remember specific comments made, but I seem to remember him being pegged as potentially the ‘next’ offensive coordinator.
