Golden Nuggets: Scouting Troy Smith

The Niners had some goings-on yesterday, with some roster moves and the like. I wasn't surprised by the move at all, it was for the best, with or without the positional need. Beyond that, not much to do but scrutinize everything about quarterback Troy Smith and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's a shame that, at this point in the season, we need to be doing scouting reports on our on players on top of other teams. Our 49ers will have their hands full against the Bucs offense, but if all goes as it should, they should be able to best their defense enough times to give themselves a big enough advantage. The Buccaneers are just not as talented as the 49ers are ... but that means a fat lot of nothing this season, it seems. They're playing great, we're playing sub-par. Maybe the Rams game is a resurgence ... one can only hope. I also initially had some things planned to go up yesterday, but I wasn't able to do them on account of my power being shut off. Which sucks, of course. Either way, your Nuggets are here, so be merry. Enjoy, folks, and go Niners.
WR Jason Hill was released to make room for a kicker to handle kickoff duties with Joe Nedney's lingering soreness. The 49ers need to draft a kicker this offseason, or find a free agent. (CSNBayArea.com)
Here's a first look at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. (49ers.com)
The team's offense was expanded during the Rams game. We didn't continually see the same plays. There were moving pockets, fakes, deep routes and things of that nature. Let's hope it can continue to expand with Troy's playmaking ability. (SacBee.com)
How about some more film review from Sunday's game? (SFGate.com)
Here's audio of Coach Singletary on KNBR, and then audio with Frank Gore as well. (49ers.com)
Maicocco has posted his latest NFL Power Rankings, so go check those out. (CSNBayArea.com)
Chilo Rachal lost his starting job for this past Sunday's game against the Rams after missing practice when his son was being born. Snyder seemed to block fairly well before going down with an injury. (Scout.com)
Ugh. Penalties. (SFGate.com)
Will try to update it in the morning with more, how you say, substance.

I saw some promise in the Suh kicker guy
looked like he could have had a powerful leg. I suggest we bring him in and give him a tryout.
Gimme 1 round!
hahaha...
im going to take it as that you’re being sarcastic
A man's life is described either by his actions, words, or even the people who he loves and loves him.
His accuracy issues worry me. No way in hell do I want him on our team.
Plus, his name is too tough to spell.

5th round pick, will be a kicker. might even be fourth..........

Kevin Lynch said MJ called a game that seemed to combine
Walsh, Turner, and Martz all into one.
Imagine if there were even half the penalties...plot to keep score close?! ;-)

I think I know what I'm going to write my first fan post about
How much the offense improved with MJ at helm.
Kellen Moore is awesome
I saw that too....
I thought the play calling was excellent. There were a few stalled drives but I swear I was watching a different team. Who would have thought that getting your playmakers the ball would actually be a sucess…. it’s madness!

Yahoo Sports
has Troy front page center with a video of Tiki Barber fumbling his words like usual and doesn’t say anything we didn’t already know. No love, but no disrespect either
Interesting stat from KCBS this morning
Of the 11 QBs drafted in 2007, only one is starting this weekend, And he was the 9th QB drafted.
Guess who?
oops
totally wrong year…2007? uhhhhhh Troy Smith!

Seems it's 2 Qbs
Troy Smith #174
Tyler Thigpen #217
The guy on radio did not probably update his observation for Thigpen’s start.

Eh...
Troy is way better than Thigpen so your point was made IMO. and I love it.

The chap on radio made the point that QBs are not coached well or given the time for adjustment to NFL
Of the group, Kevin Kolb will probably start somewhere next season. He was groomed properly by Reid. Brady Quninn and Trent Edwards was not. Edwards could have been a very good WCO QB. Buffalo was the wrong place for him where a strong arm is needed to play in the bad weather. Bill Walsh was high on Edwards.

I wouldn't be so sure.
The Dolphins won’t miss a beat with Thigpen. I wish he was on the Niners.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
I like that the 'Niners have suddenly become a 4th quarter team with Smith...
hope they continue that. A few more late wins I might actually believe it’s the real deal…. isn’t that Singletary’s mantra? FINISH.
not to be a negative nancy.
But I will feel much better when either our d stops giving up scores in every 2 minute situation, or our offense, doesn’t go super conservative when we’re up by less than 9 points.
(Sorry for any spelling or punctuation issues, I’m typing on my phone. Hopefully my point is clear.)

There goes all the fun...
seriously… I agree. I feel like we should be running up the score on everyone and our D needs to step it up.

Unlike most of us, Ninjames is part of the solution. Not the problem.

It's because I watched Bio Dome yesterday.

youre getting a lot done online without power
How do you charge your phone? Maybe you need a portable power cell you can. Plug in at coffee shops and such… Then take home to power your stuff
