Golden Nuggets: Spencer? Alright..

Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday... It really is odd, each day of the week I have a new opinion on a certain aspect of the 49ers. At one point I'll like the signing of Tony Pashos and then another I'll dislike it. I'll think we're doing pretty well on the d-line and then the next day I'll feel like we suck. Today I'm worrying about the entire secondary, and our first game really should be its biggest test. I should have a decent amount of links for you today. I'm a little burnt out on writing as I did a pretty lengthy article earlier for the magazine/site I write for, and I'm now noticing how differently I write for that than I do on here. Of course, they encourage swearing so.. maybe if I incorporate a little bit of that in the Nuggets.. Well, we'll see what happens. Come Monday I may have a few choice expletives for our secondary.. or more hopefully, kind words. Moving on, however...

Big news today, CB Shawntae Spencer wins the battle for starting right corner. I have to wonder if it's because he was dominant, or if the other two (Brown and Bly) just made too many mistakes or didn't play well. Either way, whoever lines up as the nickel back should get significant time against Arizona as they'll field at least three receivers a good portion of the time. (PressDemocrat.com)

A nice little article about Mike Singletary, and what he hopes to accomplish with this team. All around a good read. (MercuryNews.com)

The Niners now seems to have a competent backup at the tackle position, in case you missed it the team bolstered that position with Tony Pashos. (MercuryNews.com)

What should our outlook be for the 2009 season? I'm pretty much schizophrenic when it comes to this so I'll back out of this argument. (MercuryNews.com)

Is it possible that the team will run 60 percent of the time? It seems like a rather high ratio to me.. I suppose the 49ers would have to be playing with the lead for a long while to attain this. (PressDemocrat.com)

Meet your 2009 San Francisco 49ers--a nice little photo. Ain't that cute. (49ers.com)

So do you think the signing of Pashos was a good idea? I'm all for it, personally. (SFGate.com)

how to beat the cards

here are my ideas on how to beat the cardinals in our season opener:
when the Niners are on defense, the key is to disrupt Warner’s rythem and chase him out of the pocket.
Warner is a pure pocket passer with a quick and accurate release. he also has playmaking targets at WR so he just need to throw the ball at the vecinity of Fitz or Boldin and they will make the catch.
let’s face it, our corners, though good tacklers, tend to give up the long pass and are not that good at covering quick , agile recievers.
thats why the key is to pressure Warner. but, alas, our pass rush, as someone greater then me said, is non existent.
so we got to use some blitz packages that will colapse the pocket around the Card’s QB. i.e. blitzing through the A gaps (Reggie Smith proven he is quite capable of disrupting the QB with his play against Dallas) , prsssuring the center and 2 guards and chasing Warner out of the pocket where Lawson and Harelson can finish him off.

On offense we just have to stick to the plan. run the ball over 50% of the times and avoid turnovers at all cost. that way we control the clock and win the possession time battle, and keep the ball away from the cards high octane offense.
can’t wait for the niners season to start with a positive note.

I was of the understanding

That our defense gave up the fewest long pass plays last season. Outside of the Dallas game, I do not recall one game where it was bombs away. I don’t have a stat link but is this incorrect?

Other than that disagreement, I agree with the rest. Warner is quite accurate but under pressure becomes JTO. He fumbles a great deal and his accuracy goes from pin-point perfect to interceptable. A few turnovers would be a great way to start the season (we forced 18 all of last year) and the way to beat AZ. I’m not sure that we forced one in either AZ game last year.

You gotta bring ass to get ass.

I wake up cursing Crabtree

On one hand it is the most illogical behavior I can imagine, turning down 16 million guaranteed.

On the other hand the holdout is logical if someone else were tampering.

On the other hand tampering makes no sense.

On the other hand Deion Sanders is a d-bag.

On the other hand Eugene Parker is a doubt d-bag.

On the other hand…

Check the Singletary quote from the article
“Once I accidentally hit an opponent the wrong way and hurt him, but the referee didn’t make the call. I knew I had broken a rule, so I told the ref, ‘I did it. I didn’t do it on purpose but I did it. It was my fault. You should penalize me.’ I wanted both the referee and the other player to know that I was honest and I would take responsibility for my mistakes. The ref thought I was nuts.”

From the Mercury News article

This a great testament of his character and his coaching abilities. Unfortunately he needs some more talent in his core group. I’m as optimistic as anyone else about the 9ers this year, but we’re still hovering around mediocrity.

Prove me wrong Shaun, prove me wrong.

We still believe!!

Another thing relating to my introduction..

I’ve received one piece of hate mail so far for my other article, and I’ve yet to receive any from the Nuggets. I suppose I’m doing a good job or do you good folks just not have my email?

Somebody truly claiming

That the Insane Clown Posse was a masterful band and who will go down as one of the classics after I ripped on them for three paragraphs about being able to make better music on the toilet.

-Bows.- Thank you.

I’m working on drafting a disclaimer in which I am not held responsible for broken keyboards or any electronics due to involuntary expulsion of drinkable liquids or edible solids.

I thought it was a good first article, though.
