I think Pascoe might beat out Finley more because there’s a higher chance of his getting plucked off the practice squad than because he deserves it. I think the niners would like to keep both players around.

I don’t agree about the other FB. The only reason they’d take another one is if Moran Norris was injury prone (he isn’t). Backup FBs have to justify their place on the team by being good special teamers (like Keasey was) and that doesn’t usually fit the mold of bruising lead blocker. I don’t think Miller will make the roster but I do think he’ll be on the practice squad and available to be bumped up to the 53 if needed.

I do think Boone will make it unless the team signs a veteran tackle or picks one up on waivers after the cut down, something I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see.

I’m about done with Sims, though I don’t think the team feels the same way.

Apart from that, I’d like to see Marques Harris and Demetric Evans’ roster spots go to Jay Moore and RJF respectively, though I don’t feel particularly optimistic that that will happen.

I know a lot of people would much rather see Curtis Taylor on the roster than Roman but I really don’t think that will happen, especially with Lewis’ concussions. Roman may not be flashy but right now he’s the best starting option at SS outside of Lewis.

WR is tricky, I’m worried that Hill might get cut, even though I think he finally started to show some stuff last season. Ironically for someone that was drafted because he was a burner, Hill seems to have developed into a solid sideline possession receiver who is clutch on 3rd downs. I like Ziggy too, but he’d probably be ok on the PS when Crabs signs (am I the only one who thinks that might not happen before week 1?).

Spurlock is good but really, in the grand scheme of things I don’t think he’s that special, there are a lot of players that can do what he does. He’ll probably find a job somewhere and more power to him.

Marcus Hudson seems safe for one last year but if I was him I’d really relish this year because I think some new blood might displace him next offseason.

I just watched the re-run of the cowboys game last night on NFL network at my local hooters since im in Ohio and this is what I saw. Going down the list…..

Nate Davis impressed the crap out of me. Arm strength was good. Granted, he was going against the backups but he looked strong (after that screen that was awful). I like him and i admit to not being a fan of the pic initially. Its funny because i talked to a girl that went to high school with him (hes from ohio) and she said he is as dumb as a box of rocks.

Kory Sheets has got to make this team. He runs hard and gives us that much needed change of pace. I think he should be more time returning kicks. I will be seriously disappointed if he doesnt make it.

Coffee on the other hand needs serious work on his pass protection. I almost think that sheets could be a better third down type back than Coffee.

I love Brit Miller. He cracks me up. He celebrates on every run sheets has i think. Maybe my new favorite guy to cheer for. I really hope we find a spot for him on the practice squad.

Wide Receivers- Morgan didnt look great but im obviously not worried. Brandon Jones from all accounts looks like a staple of the future. Hopefully, (soon) we have Crabtree coming into the mix and that, my friends, is our future. Everything else is pretty irrelevant to me. I understand Zeigler fans are out there in full force but despite how good he might be i dont ever see him getting the chance to prove it. He has hands, i’ll give him that but nothing he does destinguishes him from the others. I think he should be a gonner. Jason Hill could be in our future but once again i dont think it is possible for him to be top 5 on our team. He hasnt shown much this preseason and i dont ever see him playing in front of Morgan, Jones, or Crabtree. That brings me to my man Arnaz “dont ever doubt me again Niner Nation” Battle. That is A-R-N-A-Z “oh crap the offense is in trouble better throw to sure catch” Battle. Now I know a lot of you were calling for his spot to be taken once cuts came and you were wrong. And I’m going to say it now, unless he demands too much money in order to get out and find a team where he is even more of the game plan, we need to resign this guy. He will be our veteran after Bruce is gone and he is a great 4th WR. I know some of you want to give the spot to a guy with “potential” but potential only goes so far. Battle gets results. We have all the potential in the world in Jones, Morgan and Crabtree. We need Battle. I also am really cheering for Spurlock. He plays the slot the best and has a quicker step than Zeigler. He can also return and an option for Tazer.

TE goes to Finley…. A year on the practice squad makes him better and pascoe aint going anywhere if we PS him.

I want Boone on the O line for potential but Spanos is now getting time at center and he was the best of the rest going in to the dallas game in my opinion. I wonder if this affects Wallace’s future?

I dont have as much to say about the defensive side. There are a few guys i have never been able to cheer for…. shawnte spencer, Franklin, and Lawson

Lawson in like beating a dead horse… he isnt going to get better and he better be gone next year… (i hope im wrong)

Franklin was helped off his back several times in the dallas game. Now i know sometimes you bite scratch and claw to affect a play and you end up there but he is just there too much. This has to be addressed in next years draft and i Hope Cody falls to us.

Spencer… i dont have to say much because Bly and Brown are going to keep him off the field. Brown brought the wood a few times and i think next year if we look corner in the first round Clements has two years left because that man gives up too many catches to get paid the way he does. He is nowhere close to a shutdown and it drive me nuts. He may be a good tackler but i dont pay a number one corner to tackle… i would rather have a guy that cover and cant tackle to save his life. We have pursuing LB’s for that.

Goldson… verdict is still out

McKillop… i like this guy even though i admit i was pulling for us to take Brinkley from my Gamecocks

I got to believe michael Robinson’s days are numbered….. we have the rookie running backs who are good… we have the fullbacks…. we have tazer options in battle and spurlock…. i cant get someone else to be a special teams captain… ha

Michael Spurlock. But I guess there are many players who can do what he can do. But how about the Michael Crabs situation? Who doesnt make the team when he is signed? Maybe that fourth running back?

Moran Norris?

in preseason?

I disagree how we are bashing Roman so much, why not keep him since it seems he is probably a better ss then at fs, and also keep Jhill-if you look at last years games he looks alot like a young Isaac Bruce, well to me atleast, he just needs to give it his all on the next game that is all.

I think MM is missing the boat with his additional FB theory. If another player is brought in it would probably be another OT like Runyon to back up at RT with Boone going to the PS (he’s not ready yet). Which means somebody gets pushed off the PS, my guess being J.J. Finley because TEs are pretty easy to find. Other than that and the question of who gets bumped at WR when Crabtree signs (Zeigler goes to PS, Spurlock gets released), I think Fooch has it nailed. The Huard release cleared things up a lot by freeing his roster spot.

With a release of Spurlock and Price there will be room for Crabtree ( IF HE SIGNS ) IF NOT THEN trade the rights to Crabtree to Denver and get a proven reciever in Brandon Marshall!!! i would also release OLDER THAN DIRT ISSAC BRUCE AND KEEP BRIT MILLER AT BACK UP FULL BACK!!! He showed good hands and speed for a one time Linebacker!!! BATTLE IS A SOLID # 3 RECIEVER ALL HE DOES IS MAKE PLAYS!!!!!
