Morning, morning..James here, back finally with your Nuggets. I apologize for my brief... hiatus, if you will, from the site. There were things I had to tend to that are all sorted out now. So I'm back and ready to provide you with what links I have. As to how many there are, well I have no idea, it could be a good amount or it could be two, all depends on what happened while I was gone, and honestly, I have NO IDEA what happened while I was gone, it was a few brief days in which I didn't read up or think about the 49ers too much, and it actually DOES hurt to say that! All of that aside, I should at least have a few, and with that, I'll do what I always do and that is to tell you to enjoy your links!
We'll start with Barrows hosting an imaginary Q&A, wooh! (SacBee.com)
As mentioned somewhere in the articles below, Frank Gore is completely healthy. This is good, a healthy Frank Gore means at least one productive weapon... I mean, at least for the first game. (ProFootballCentral.com)
Q&A with RB Kory Sheets. I like this kid. I mean, he's no Thomas Clayton, but I like him. Query: Is it odd that I'm so pumped for Clayton that everytime I type his name I want to put THOMAS CLAYTON!!!? Yes? Well, that's fine then. (49ers.com)
Crabtree will be the best of the class of 2009--book it! Or at least, this poll says so... And apparently B.J. Raji is 1337... I swore I'd never bring my internet speak into these articles, but I JUST DID. /shame (ProFootballWeekly.com)
We're having a receiver overload! No, seriously. I wish we'd never signed Brandon Jones, honestly. Oh, and I was saying that BEFORE the draft, too, just go back and look! I really like Hill, Zeigler, Morgan, and I suppose Crabtree.. I can do without Battle and Jones, though I'd much prefer Bruce hang around and tutor these kids. (SFGate.com)
What to do with that extra first round pick.. Not too shabby, looking at the last time we had two.. P Willy and the host of the Joe Show himself, Joe Staley. (SFGate.com)
A look at the hill. Not the QB. (49ers.com)
To finish (for now) a look at the currently under-contract QBs around the league. (PressDemocrat.com)

What about the running backs?
What do people think about the running backs on the roster? How many will the team carry? And who?
Gore, of course, and Norris to block for him. And Coffee. And Sheets offers that change of pace. So I guess the question is Michael Robinson, who hasn’t been much of a running back but can catch the ball out of the backfield and is a good special teams player versus Clayton, who is the best running back in the NFL in August. And in a pinch Robinson can be a blocking back for Gore. Does anyone expect Keasey to be back?
Myself, I’ve gotten tired of seeing Robinson gain one yard on third and two, but part of his lack of production has been the same problem that impacted Gore (and Foster, too) last year: Martz’s offense and the lack of a true fullback to block for the ball carriers. As much as I’ve been rooting for Clayton to get a chance in the regular season it looks like the Niners have moved past him. And if Sheets ends up on the roster as a change of pace back it’s hard to imagine a place for Clayton.
Whoever sticks to the final roster, it’s nice to see another spot on the team where the talent is deep enough that there are these kinds of questions.

most convincing quote -
The NFC West’s past three champions have gone 9-7 (Arizona in 2008), 10-6 and 9-7 (Seattle in 2007 and 2006), so it’s not going to take a quantum leap for San Francisco (7-9 last year) to scale that particular mountain.

How about this one?

25. San Francisco
When I think of the big factors in the Niners’ 4-1 finish, I think of Patrick Willis playing sideline-to-sideline and the underrated Parys Haralson giving the team a decent pass-rush threat from the outside linebacker slot. They keyed a defense that held four of San Francisco’s last five foes to 16 points or fewer. And I think of Mike Singletary’s will, which cannot last for four months. I still don’t think this offense can score enough to make San Francisco a threat to win its division.
Well, we're waiting....
