Golden Nuggets: Right to it

Good morning folks, getting these links up a little late, but I'm in a huge hurry at the moment. Originally, I had typed up a big notice about Thomas Clayton and what not for this intro but suffice to say this: if I say anything about Clayton, Zeigler, or Keasey--ignore it. Thanks. Anyway, I'm going to get right into the links..

I just saw a new video on the 49er homepage. It puts Bamm Bamm as the No 1 middle linebacker in the NFL (ahead of Ray Lewis and B. Urlacher!). I hope McKillop can step up and reach his full potential soon! It would be pretty awesome to have an inside linbacker corps consisting of two of the top 10 linebackers in the NFL! Man this season is gonna be fun!

As far as OLBS, I think we have all the talent we need. I think Haarolson and Lawson will both step it up a notch, but with encouragement from Singletary, they better watch out for Ahmad Brooks. I could foresee him leapfrogging Lawson if that OLB spot is as good a fit for him as it is said to be. We have the talent and potential here, all we need now is for two guys to take it to the next level. With all the guys we have competing here, I don’t think that should be a problem.

Overall, I am extremely excited about this season! The WR corps is absolutely loaded, and I think we will see at least 5 guys playing like their lives depend on it. (I don’t think enough gets said about Brandon Jones. Sounds like he was tearing it up in OTAs and minicamps. I remember one Niner saying some very positive things about him including a remark about the strength of his hands). Combine that with the potential of Crabtree and Morgan, the solid veteran contributions and leadership of Bruce, and the quiet yardage racked up by Hill, and I don’t think there is any doubt that this will be a very strong WR corps. (Not to mention the endless possibilities offered by Davis, Pascoe, Gore, etc.) Then of course we have our ever solid running backs and special teams. We also have some real ball hawks in our secondary, a positively frightening inside linebacker corps, some mean talent on our D-line, loads of potential and competition at OLB, and an Offensive Line that now has two potentially very solid answers at the only weak spot on it (RT, Marvel Smith and Alex Boone). Hehehe, I can’t help but chuckle over the thought of the looks on other teams’ faces this year after we get through with em. Sort of a “Whoah, what just hit me??” type of look. I’ll tell you what you! Only a triple dose of Bamm Bamm, Soap, Meat, T-Bone, Smith, Perilous Haarolson, and Dre Bly combined with Indiana Jones, Crabs, Morgan, Isaac the Bruce, Davis, The Bear, and GORE!!! This season is going to be totally AWESOME!!!! (Oh, and I didn’t even mention Chilo “Pancake” Rachal!)

I forgot....

Wow, it speaks volumes about the talent the Niners have when I list all those players in my previous comment and still leave a very important couple of guys out. I completely forgot to mention that we will have THE best kick-returning duo in the entire NFL with the up-and-coming Micheal Spurlock and the still magnificent Allen Rossum!!! (More on this in my upcoming fan post.)

EXACTLY what I am talking about

I saw that vidio on the MLBs.. No suprise to see Willis at no.1. I share your enthusiasm but as I have said before, talent ( raw or refined it doesn’t matter) will only take you so far..This is the ultimate team sport with an added twist. A winning effort will require strong hearts, and team spirit. Singletary will need to bring all of that tallent together and provide the stimulas for these guys to be A TEAM…. If that magic happens look out cause we are going to rock the boat this year..

Go Niners!!!!
