Golden Nuggets: The Injuries Begin!

by James Brady on May 21, 2009 3:15 AM PDT in 49ers Links

Morning folks, James here. Settling back in and what not for the Nuggets. Its getting hard to adjust to being up at the correct time again, but I'm sure I'll manage. I don't have a ton of links today, but there's some, so whatever, just read 'em. I'm surprised about Walt Harris though, that sucks for him but honestly I wanted Tarell Brown to have every chance he can to succeed, and now maybe he can. Hopefully we'll see him out there making plays in Harris' absense (providing there is any, of course.) So without nattering on, here's your links for the day--enjoy.

As said before, CB Walt Harris is injured, maybe for the entirety of next season. (PressDemocrat.com)

The team seems eager to test the free agent market for a replacement as well. (SacBee.com)

That replacement may come in the form of Dre' Bly. I'm not sure how I feel about the move, he's a very good corner, or maybe.. he was a very good corner. Its uncertain just how much he has in the tank, seeing as how nobody else has picked him up. (PressDemocrat.com)

Jerry Rice visted the 49ers during OTAs and spoke to the team. Funny, I sort of figured ultimate-motivator wouldn't let anyone else speak to the team, lest his mentality be diverted. (49ers.com)

A few more looks at the options at CB along with more observations of the OTAs. Vernon Davis, huh? (SacBee.com)

And some observations from Maiocco. (PressDemocrat.com)

Do the 49ers have a playoff offense? Is Frank Gore enough to lead us there on the ground? (SFGate.com)

Bly is worth a look

Some people are saying on some sites he is not so good since Denver didn’t have a very good pass defense last year.

But check this out…

Here are the numbers for team sacks, 2008:

We were mediocre. Denver was absolutely terrible.

NO cornerback can cover all day. After 7-8 seconds, you’re in deep (site decorum).

The question is, can we generate consistent pressure this year ourselves?

good point grumpy

i’m ok with dre bly, it has to be better than where we are at right?
still no talk about mcallister huh? I know its only been a day but it wouldnt hurt to contact the guy considering sing coached him in baltimore.
also, i hope jerry sticks around so once crabtree is in route-running form (sadly probably not for another couple months) that he can see him in action and help us out there-nice to hear he thinks morgan is the real deal though
