49ers-Chargers: Mike Singletary Day After Press Conference

PrintThe 49ers suffered a fairly hideous 34-7 loss to the San Diego Chargers last night on Thursday Night Football. Although it's a midweek game, we still get head coach Mike Singletary's traditional day after press conference. Today's press conference is scheduled for 2pm. I've posted the live stream after the jump so let's hope it operates like normal.
Given today's performance, I'd hope it would make for some interesting questions. I suspect we'll get some philosophical introspection by Singletary as that seems to be what we get after most losses. If I had to predict questions, I'm sure we'll hear some Alex Smith stuff and also follow-up on the fact that he considered inserting Troy Smith in the second half. We'll also hear some questions about Justin Smith. Maybe some comments about the inability to integrate Vernon Davis into the offense. I'm sure there will be some mention of playoffs somewhere in there via question or comment. All in all I can't imagine it'll be a very uplifting experience.
I've posted the embedded live stream after the jump, but you can also view the press conference on CSN Bay Area and at 49ers.com, and I'll have a transcript later this afternoon for those that miss Singletary's comments.

Fire sing!!!! Hire Jon Gruden, bring back W.C.O. Sign Donovan McNabb once he’s released. Promote Nate Davis from practice squad. Let Donovan menter Nate and a draft pick from next years draft.

I’m not a Nate hater, but I don’t understand the love. He’s done okay in exhibition games, but no one even wanted him when he went through waivers or has tried to take him from the PS.
What’s one thing that says he’s any good? I’d just as much like to take a risk with a random draft pick.

we should run all verticals every play
Pick a receiver and chuck it…at least it would be more exciting that way.

Sounds like what I do
when I play madden.
I always pick the 49ers, and I only know two plays: the 10 yard slant and four verticals. Works every time! =P

i also run VD on flag route...mismatch

Not a bad idea
I like the idea of Gruden, but I don’t know if it will happen. As far as Nate Davis goes, I think that McNabb would be a very good mentor, however we really need to address the position in the draft. In my opinion Cam Newton could be a great QB if he could sit behind McNabb for a couple years however it would be a risky pick similar to the Broncos taking Tebow except it would be much earlier. I honestly feel like the best QB in the class is Mallet but I honestly don’t think he’ll make it pass the Bills or the Cardinals. Though this season has been a disappointment, I’m getting excited thinking about the off season, I just hope the Front Office does the right thing and moves forward, starts from scratch. Until then, I’m just going to keep my head up, some day we will all be rewarded for being a 49er faithful.

I agree with your Cam Newton assessment
but what do you think about his red flags? He may or may not have known about the “pay for play” and the NCAA exonerated him and what not, but I think that may be the least troubling of the allegations. The academic cheating accusations and the purchase of stolen clothes (I believe it was clothes) really scream character issues to me.
Obviously none of these things directly relate to his ability to throw a football but I worry about the entitlement mentality (See Russell, JaMarcus). I think Newton is more talented than JMR and I don’t think we have to worry about him swelling to 290lbs, but I worry Newton, like Russell, thinks getting to the NFL is “making it”, as opposed to putting in all the work it takes to be successful at the next level.

It does
Depending on his level of involvement. The NCAA and Auburn claim he had no knowledge of the incident in-question, but I don’t know how much I buy into it. When your dad is shopping YOUR skills for 180,000 dollars, I find it hard to believe that not once it was mentioned to him. It may be a case of a son not willing to stand up to his father which demonstrates a lack of courage and character. I think this is the most likely scenario.
If it came out that Cam was just as involved in the negotiations as his father was and his father was just the figurehead in case everything fell through, well I don’t think I have to explain any further.
I never said it didn’t raise any red flags. But under my theory in the first scenario I think it says more about his cowardice and inability to stand up to daddy. Both character issues to be sure, but the academic cheating just bothers me more.
by JSing on Dec 18, 2010 10:29 PM PST via mobile up reply actions
Who cares about the academic cheating?
everybody knows that big time college football players have no intention of graduating. They go to school simply to audition for the NFL, and that’s it.
He’s not going to graduate, and he never had any intention of graduating.
Its a risk
I haven’t heard a lot about the other accusations other than the “pay to play”, however if there is any truth to it I definitely think that would lower his stock. Like Russell he would be a risk, and I don’t feel like he would be able to come in and be a factor.
In the signing McNabb scenario it would be allow us to be competitive while developing some young quarterbacks.It also would allow us to be more flexible in the draft. You maybe able to get Newton the 2nd round (unlikely but it could change) if that’s the case we could address another important need such as the secondary or an elite pass rusher.
Either way I think Newton has potential but I believe he would benefit from sitting behind an experience QB for at least a year or two. I don’t think we should draft him in the top 10 in my opinion. Players aren’t the only thing that needs improvement I think we could definitely use some upgrades in the coaching staff. Man… is it April yet! I’m ready to get rid of this disappointed feeling and get back to that excited feeling I had last off season! GO NINERS!

it was funny listening to the reporters trying to understand what he was saying
“You LOST a finger? ……… long awkward pause……….”
is anyone asking:
Why did the team play so completely awful and horribly putrid?? I mean, Sing has to admit that was a horrible display of football…I mean…we shoulda played our scrubs if that was the production we were gonna get from the team
Trust me, I have no idea either.

Every week Sing says they will have to review the film and make adjustments and help the team improve
My problem is, the team has not improved at all…
I have been a Sing supporter but now.. I just think he is clueless about the offense, about the QB and about the defense..
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, either way, YOU'RE RIGHT !"
I'd be inclined to agree with you....
but I’d have to look at the tape first.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First time watching one of these live
and I feel like he doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about. Why is Crabtree sucking? I don’t know. Why haven’t last year’s standouts taken the next step? I don’t know.
I felt like this whole thing was a lot like the Letterman Singletary impersonations.
No more mock draft sig for now...
bad commenters

Love the sarcasm from Barrows in this tweet
Mike “I have to look at the film” Singletary hasnt looked at the film of Justin Smith bumping an NFL official
That had to be one of the first things he looked at
Of course, he may have wanted to avoid those questions as talking bad about the refs in frowned upon.
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, either way, YOU'RE RIGHT !"
Yeah the NFL will fine you for even hinting that refs might be biased or inept.
I love how they try to bait him into another “can’t win with him” rant.

The only reason I say give Nate another chanse is because I have no faith in Sing. what so ever. I don’t believe or trust a thing he may say. Sing has not earned my trust or confidence as a coach or a talent evaluator. Entire off season He said special teams would be a consideration as to who might make the final 53 and what does he do, release their best special teams player, a probowl alternate (Michael Robinson) for his special teams play..I don’t believe Sing. has what it takes to be a good judge of player talent, or lack of talent. So why believe him when it comes to Nate. Three players and a coach leave the team abruply and it’s all for presonel reasons. which is what sing. stated ever time someone left B.S.

Well, I don’t know how much power Singletary has when it comes to roster decisions, but I would venture to say he didn’t have much to do with the Robinson decision and by fiat, personnel decisions in general.
So by that logic I don’t think Sing has as much to do with giving Nate a chance, as much as it is a front office person (maybe Baalke at this point in time) who won’t give the green light. Coupled with the disgusting reality that we still have a shot at the playoffs, there’s no chance for Nate.
I’m on the Nate bandwagon simply because I think he deserves a shot in a lost season. But at one time or another Ken Dorsey and Shaun Hill were given opportunities to play and he’s shown more potential than they ever did before they got a shot. But alas, we’ll clean house in the off-season, cut Nate, and we will never know.

Sing. has stated time after time he has full control of both the coaching staff and the 53 man roster.He’s stated it’s even in his contract as such.

Do you have a link for that?
because I can’t recall him saying that. I mean I think he would simply because he seems that kind of guy but I don’t recall a specific instance of him saying that.
Just look at the FO structure...

mcwagner's drummer for the "ba dum bumps" to tag his posts.
Very sad
From his opening “good morning” to his pitiful explanation as to why Brooks and Goldson have not played better this year, just a sad, sad excuse for a day-after-game presser. This man has absolutely no clue. His tone and body language say it all. He didn’t see the incident involving Justin Smith? I’ll bet dollars to donuts he didn’t even give a thought about Smith being suspended until the reporter (Maiocco?) asked about that possibility. It was like, “…oh shit, I didn’t even give that a thought.” In hindsight, they should have canned him after the Green Bay loss. Nice man, but this is worse than the Erikson and Nolan years. Better talent, same results.
