Hey there folks. Not sure what I've got for you today because I'm in a bit of a hurry but I'm sure I have plenty. Players have been arriving in Indy for the scouting combine, getting measured and prepping for drills so I'm certain I'll have some of that for you. 49ers also had a press conference, which I didn't get a chance to read up on yet so I'll be learning along with all of you. Only football stuff I dealt with yesterday was catching Singletary on NFL Total Access in between watching tennis. (My guy lost, life sucks) So I'm gonna just get to your links, enjoy folks.
On Total Access at the Combine Singletary said that Alex Smith 'is the guy.' I hate saying that, but I really hope he proves me wrong and does well. (SFGate.com)
McCloughan isn't one to budge on his ideals--he likes big players. What scares me in this article is 'Glen Coffee is the heir apparent.' I can see Coffee being a good back, I just can't see him being... a very good back. (PressDemocrat.com)
Even if there is an uncapped season, the 49ers don't figure to break the bank. That's totally stupid, and I hope it's just coach/GM speak because frontloading some contracts would be nice. (PressDemocrat.com)
Jump for links.
Here's the combine Q&A with McCloughan from the press conference. (49ers.com)
And the Q&A with Singletary from the same press conference. (49ers.com)
Potential first round pick for the 49ers Trent Williams says it'll be his decision whether or not he makes it to a training camp. Good stuff. (PressDemocrat.com)
Bulaga... definitely a guy I wish I could get. Says he likes to go after it. (SacBee.com)
Will the 49ers get a change of pace running back? I hope they do, but I guess it's all about where we take him. I still say Spiller would be a great pick, but it all depends on who's available at the time. (PressDemocrat.com)
Iupati says he likes to destroy people. Nice, but he's a definite reach in the first at the Niners picks. (SacBee.com)

You know
and i HATE 2 use dallas as a example but i bet they were feeling the same way about felix jones until that jaguar start breaking down every time they pulled it out on a sunny day then they were like tashard choice is a pretty good back so b4 we start overly falling in love with spiller and second geussing coffee lets give him some reps other then pre-season and a line in reg-season who really didnt find there groove all year because those jaguars are fast and looks really good in the driveway but when it breaks down you need that chevy whos steady and never lets you down
Spiller played 4 years
And never missed a game, nor did he play at any poor level. He’s durable and built compact. I don’t think he will have injury problems in the NFL, and I do think he can be a 60-70% of carries back.
He doesn’t break down. Now Best and McCluster on the other hand are major gambles in durability.

Still like him as a return man.
I chose water over wine... Jars of formaldehyde... think of all the things I missed... Why'd you make me a scientist?

RE: Coffee as Heir
That is just an assumed statement, an “as things appear” type statement. Which, is fine, since he is young, and is the only other back remotely capable of being such on the team. It’s better and more logical to say that than to say “the team has no heir apparent.”
In reality, since I don’t think any team will have a primary back the way the 49ers still use Gore in 5 years, I don’t think it’s possible to have his heir apparent. Coffee is not “special” in any way, so I don’t see him ever being the #1 back. I can see him being a capable #2 if the #1 is more of a speed guy. All signs pointing to Spiller as a logical pick.
But I do think their sentiments also make Iupati a more likely choice than I had previously considered ( always considered him good enough, just don’t think the team would be interested ).

Fernando Verdasco.
Currently ranked tenth in the world, fell to Monaco yesterday in Albierto Mexicano in the quarterfinals. He was just playing bad, his head wasn’t in the right place.

yea that's true
I don’t know if coffee can be a number 1 back its not like gore has that super break away speed either maybe early on or up the middle but i didnt think he would be caught after he broke away in greenbay either but if coffee would of stayed a year later he could be on a alabama championship team he hasnt got his do yet 2 be second geussing him so much its just seems easy 2 say that since everyone wants spiller
