Golden Nuggets: Well I'd love to play them, too!

Hey there everyone, James here with another edition of your Golden Nuggets. Apologies for yesterday, I did it mostly in haste the night before while rather tired--today I'll try and find just about everything there is to find. I believe I will. How about that Monday Night Football game? Was a pretty good watch though I only caught the second half. The big news today in 49er-land (or yesterday, rather) is the tampering allegations from the 49ers against the New York Jets. Should be interesting to see how this unfolds, I'm all for them getting penalized hugely if they contacted Crabtree in any way--it's just something you don't do. It's unfair and I hope if the allegations are true the team is compensated in some fashion. I'll shutup now and get right to the links. Enjoy.

As stated, the 49ers accused the Jets of tampering with WR Michael Crabtree and possibly interfering with current negotiations to get the 10th-overall pick signed. (PressDemocrat.com)

HB Frank Gore says his ankle is fine. Good news, I don't want the team to go into Minnesota without its best offensive weapon--it'd be a disaster. (MercuryNews.com)

Coach Mike Singletary isn't happy with 2-0, he wants 3-0 and beyond. Great mentality. (Yahoo.com)

I didn't get a chance to watch this myself, but Matt Maiocco and the Press Democrat team put together a video recap of Sunday's game against the Seahawks. (PressDemocrat.com)

Patrick Willis vs Adrian Peterson... Man, I can't wait for the matchup. I do know, however, that every time that ball goes to 28 I'm going to be flinching. (PressDemocrat.com)

Here's yesterday's edition of Singletary's Notebook. (49ers.com)

Coach Sing wants the team to rely on the offensive line and the defense--not the quarterback. (PressDemocrat.com)

Singletary hits rewind on the 49ers' victory over Seattle. (MercuryNews.com)

The defense is establishing its identity--finally, under Mike Nolan I couldn't figure out exactly what was expected of most of our players. What exact position did Manny Lawson play? What scheme did we run? It's good to know what we've got, or at least have a much clearer idea. (SFGate.com)

Is it even meant to be? The 49ers and Michael Crabtree? Should the team give up on the kid? (MercuryNews.com)

Star-divide

The door is still wide open for WR Michael Crabtree--previously Singletary said he could relate to the kid. But now? Not so much. (SacBee.com)

He doesn't have much to say on the tampering issue, Mike Singletary, that is. He says the league will handle it internally. (Yahoo.com)

The Wrap Up: Seattle Seahawks, the weekly column from Eric Davis at the official website. (49ers.com)

Here's more on Michael Crabtree and the 49ers. (NationalFootballPost.com)

Lynch takes a very close look at one of Frank Gore's touchdown runs. Pretty good read, actually. (SFGate.com)

WR Michael Crabtree could possibly be losing leverage with the 49ers as the team moves to 2-0. (MercuryNews.com)

Maiocco goes through his player-by-player review based on the performances in Sunday's game. (PressDemocrat.com)

At first I questioned Jimmy Raye and Singletary's devotion to the run, but after Sunday I'm feeling a bit better about the decision since it definitely paid off. (SFGate.com)

Here's a uh.. review of the game Sunday, with a really..weird rating system. (SFGate.com)

Mike Sando freshens up on the NFL's tampering policy and passes the knowledge onto his readers. (ESPN.com)

In case you were wondering, that hit from Patrick Willis on Seahawks' QB Matt Hasselbeck at the very least a fractured rib but likely to be a broken rib, and his status for week three is uncertain. That's Hasselbeck, not Willis. (ESPN.com)

The 49ers next opponents, the Minnesota Vikings control their own destiny--but so do the 49ers. (VikingsGab.com)

Here's a recap of Sunday's game from a source I must have missed yesterday. (NinerNoise.com)

Hm.. how about another random recap I found? Why not? (BayAreaSportsDrive.com)

Aha.. I'm trying to be classy you know? Which is why I'm glad these are someone else's words, not mine. (49ersNews.com)

Once again, it was ugly--but at the same time beautiful. Singletary loved it, and so did I. It is worth noting however, that it was a bit less ugly this time around. (MercuryNews.com)

So what could be worse than "pulling a Crabtree?" (TheWorldOfIsaac.com)

This has absolutely nothing to do with the 49ers and I may just be out of line when I say this but... lol Eric Mangini. (ProFootballTalk.com)

Nobody at our resident Jets blog seems to think that the allegations of tampering will amount to anything. (GangGreenNation.com)

offensive line will be tested

If penetration occurs, it will be a long game. The team must rack up some first downs, and early on, to keep Peterson off field. The time difference will be a problem to show usual intensity. The Niners will have to play a near perfect game, but have the capacity to do this. They know what winning is and clearly like it. Which means do your assignment. The sports media is in love with the Vikings; hopefully they won’t take the 49ers seriously and we can sneak up on them. Each pass will count importantly, so the receivers must hold on to the ball and try and go get it if Hill is erratic. No Niners!

The Monday Night Game...

is a little scary because on one hand, it showed you can pretty much run all over Colts, but on the other hand, Peyton Manning is still the man and he can pretty much win no matter what lol It will be interesting to see if the niners can pull that one out (personally I am just hoping they can compete)

On a positive note

The Niners should be able to run on the Colts and the Niners’ D is better than the Fins. On the down side, I don’t think our passing is equal to Miami’s.

Another positive note

Vernon Davis and Josh Morgan would’ve pulled down those potential TD passes that were dropped by Fasano and Ginn. I think niners passing game is better than ’Phins.

Miami lost...

Because they could not run a 2 minute drill with a veteran QB. That was pathetic to watch. They also missed that 3rd quarter FG which would’ve meant they only needed a FG at the end. They dominated the game yet still managed to beat themselves. That’s hard to do. If we can run on Indy like that we’ll be right there at the end. And I certainly like our secondary more than Miami’s.

You gotta bring ass to get ass.

Visited Gang Green

No one over there seemed particularly interested in getting Crabtree. Jets fans aren’t all that happy with the prospect of getting a diva for a receiver.

The funny thing is that Crabtree has basically said nothing to the public for two months and he is the most hated player in the NFL this season, thanks to Eugene Parker, Deion Sanders and his cousin the bail bondsman. Lucky that contracts are voted on.

I am beginning to suspect that any tampering took place back in the summer.

I am also suspecting that the Niners have pretty much decided that they will go the season without Crabtree and trade him for whatever they can get next spring. Parker has overplayed his hand.

If

If he somehow ended up on the Jets, plays well and scores touchdown, trust me that hate for him will go right out the window. I am New Yorker born and bred I know how we are.

Wherever he ends up.

However, if he ends up somewhere and isn’t an instant success the hate will flow.

Yep. Remember T.O. in Philly

First game, 3 TDs and everyone loves Owens. Season and a half later, they’re burning his jersey in the parking lot and can’t wait to be rid of him. Live as a diva, die as one.

"Here's a uh.. review of the game Sunday, with a really..weird rating system. (SFGate.com)"

Surely you know the Little Man rating system, don’t you Ninjames? He is a Bay Area institution dating back decades and decades and is one of those icons all the locals know. I’d venture to say he is the staple of San Francisco journalism. Not recognizing him is as out-of-towner as calling the city ’Frisco. Herb Caen must be rolling over right now.

Huh? Look.

Players at Lambeau wearing cheese hats is… a really..weird thing, that doesn’t mean I don’t know about it and its tradition. Just sayin’.

Willis vs Peterson

Im looking forward to this match up and I’ll be there behind the 49ers bench, row 2…woohoo!!

Awesome

Will you be wearing a red or white road jersey?

You gotta bring ass to get ass.

Red

Jerry Rice jersey

So cool

You’ll have to report back just how loud the dome is and how you’re treated by the fans. Everything I’ve ever heard about Minnesota fans, both baseball and football, is that they’re quite polite and will even invite you to join their tailgate. Hope we get a win for you.

Parker's fault

Kevin Lynch just said on knbr that he believes that this whole Crabtree fiasco is Parker’s fault. He thinks Parker is using Crabtree to make a statement and to become a big voice and get a place at the table in the upcoming Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations.
If Lynch is correct,as he probably is in this case(imho) ,then Crabs better wise up and quit being a patsy and fire the sleezy agent,who is not representing his clients interests but his own interests.
Fire the bum Crabs !!! We will forgive and forget if you fire the bum and sign !
