Morning, folks. The past couple days have been scarce as far as links go but glory, glory, I've got some. I'm also going to add a few things to the Nuggets to make them a bit more fleshed out. I figure it'd be good to let you guys know what is coming up each day on Niners Nation, so whenever I know what's going on I'm going to post about the day's lineup we have on the front page. So that's good. As far as things pertaining to the 49ers, we actually have some things to read about today, things are coming out about TE Vernon Davis and things of that nature. I really hope the team gets to extend the guy, and I'm not relieved to see that he wants to stay a 49er for a long time, or at least puts on that facade. After Davis I'll be interested to see what goes down with Aubrayo Franklin and Dashon Goldson--I have a feeling the team will be without Goldson some time soon, I feel like he's a money kind of guy. Either way, let's get to some links.
The 49ers are now actively talking with Vernon Davis and his agent to work out a long term contract extension. If they get it done this offseason, I love this front office. I love how the 49ers are actually getting coverage now, they are talking about Willis and Davis on NFL Network. Yaay. Wyche is saying that the talks have been going on for weeks, that nothing is imminent, but both sides expect it to be done before the season. (CSNBayArea.com)

And now--some more stuff!
Yesterday on Niners Nation: We of course had our story on the Vernon Davis contract talks, we had urnext's post, containing random snippets from around the NFL, Smileyman's latest "Where are they now?" feature, Fooch's post on the 2010 rookie salary pool, my Nuggets, and an interesting, personal post from Smileyman.
Today on Niners Nation (All times pacific, could possibly move around a little bit, not frequently)
7:00 AM - In the morning, we'll have a look at the Brian Cushing situation and the re-vote taking place for defensive rookie of the year.
10:30 AM - I begin my slew of front page dominance at Niners Nation with a feature called "49ers Profiles", where I take a look at every player currently under contract by the 49ers--it's the beginning of me getting more posting time here, and the first one is about C Eric Heitmann.
1:00 PM - Fooch has a post about Arthur Blank's comments on intelligence and drafting college graduates.
3:00 PM - At this point, Fooch has a post going up about the 49ers stadium voting--which takes place in June but registration to vote on the measure ends on May 24th.
49ers Tweet Of The Day: "We got plenty of time y'all I'll sign an extension soon I'm sure don't worry I'm in 100%" by TE Vernon Davis. His Twitter is here.

Sorry this went up a bit late, folks.
Not only that, I posted it initially without a title. I’m on fire.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

you must have a busy life
seems you always have to say “sorry” in your Nuggets!

Goldson
I kinda get the same feeling… but I REALLY hope I am wrong. I like him alot. He became one of my most favorite Niners last year… c’mon, pay the “green dot” guy! I really hope we can find a way to make him stay.
"I'm blessed..... Thanks, God bless" ...hey, it worked for Tim Tebow.
I liked him a lot too.
If I cared enough I’d dig up my posts from before last season where I was talking about him an awful lot. A lot of people were skeptical, but I was of the opinion that he’s be at least serviceable, and he surprised me. I almost bought his jersey, or his number with “human missile” on the back.

Me too (minus the "human missle" part", haha)

I’m really interested in trying to keep Lawson and Goldson around. Franklin, I’m not huge on, he had one good year in a contract year, but it is tough to find a good NT.

it would be a shame
but I also dont want a guy who just wants the money. VD’s tweet is awesome because he says “I’m 100% in” he is committed to this team and the goal. He isn’t like “whoever pays me, that’s where I’ll play”. Dashon should appreciate the work this team put in for him over the last 3-4 years that helped make him the player he is (or could be). I know, it’s a business, blah blah…BS. It’s football, it’s sport, there’s passion in it for everyone involved and if there isn’t, you don’t belong in it.

I like the idea of ...
… the daily digest from NinersNation. How lazy do we have to be?! Appreciated though!

I always wonder when the next front page post is coming out and what it’ll be on.

O.J. Atogwe
(Who, may I add, is Canadian!) Isn’t going to sign his tender, obviously, so the 3 week countdown to June 1st begins now. Should be interesting to see how this pans out- anyone still think he could be a 49er with the draftage of Mays to join DS at Safety?
by Rod Blogojevich on May 11, 2010 9:30 AM PDT via mobile reply actions
And by DS I mean Dashon Goldson.
BTW good idea with the Nuggets they look great with the new touch ups!
by Rod Blogojevich on May 11, 2010 9:32 AM PDT via mobile up reply actions
I dont think the 49ers will spend the cash on Atogwe
with the need to sign VD and possibly Goldson, Lawson and/or A.Smith.

Yeah I have to agree
Add Franklin to the list at least until further notice. Atogwe would be an amazing addtion to the secondary and comes with a good amount of upside compared to Lewis. But even with the $4MM+ Lewis is due this season, Atogwe would still be coming at a much higher price. Yeah we’ve got someone right now who is not as much of a ballhawk, but Lewis is still an adequate safety and quite a workhorse for us. We would just have to hope this season that he doesn’t take another hit that will jeopardize his season or even his career!
96 days to go. . .And contrary to popular belief, sadly I do not have ESP.
plus, I think we all expect Mays to be starting
no later than 2011, probably earlier.

Maybe not the starter on the depth chart
But he’ll likely start a game at some point next season. If Goldson or Lewis go down he’d be up next.

well, that's the thought
is that either Lewis will get hurt and if Mays plays well, he’ll keep the job, or that by season’s end Mays will take the job anyways.

If Mays can learn to focus all that natural talent
and become Mays 2.0 he could be incredible. Lets take it 1 day at a time though.
Gimme 1 round!

Anyone check out Cowboys draft board?
Its interesting to see how an actual NFL team grades out players. What stands out for me is that according to the Cowboys we had the biggest reach and probably the best value pick. They had Davis as a 3rd rounder and Bowman as a first rounder.
The other thing that jumps out is how everyone thought Clausen and McCoy slid, but the Cowboys had them graded right around where they went. According to their board, if Bryant got selected, they would have picked Sean Lee in the first. And if Sean Lee was gone, they would have taken Bowman in the 2nd. So other 3-4 teams believe he can play ILB, although he seems like more of a Mike backer, he wont be playing that position unless Willis goes down.

“and I’m not relieved to see that he wants to stay a 49er for a long time.”
Was the “not” a typo and if not explain why?
I also like the new format keep up the good work.
A proud member of the epic "Green Thread" that was Pitts nonsigning of 3/24-3/25. Oh and I was there for there for the Carr nonpresser too.
Yeah it was definitely a typo.
3:00 AM… you know.

Jerry Sullivan, Wide Receivers Coach
I’m not sure how I feel about this guy. The linked article above, which is from the Niners website, talks about how great he is, and gets all its quotes from one of the starters.
I would like to hear what Jason Hill and Brandon Jones have to say about him, but, of course, they would be smart not to say it.
He has been our wide receivers coach for five years, and our passing offense has been lousy for those five years. I would like to see Jerry Rice as the wide receivers coach. That man was a total technician, and would have instant respect from the players.
I would like to see Maiocco, Barrows, Lynch or Brown address this issue, if they say don’t worry about it, I won’t, but until then, my hypothesis is that with the OL improved via the draft, the biggest detriment to our passing game taking a step is our wide receivers coach.
I hope he proves me wrong.
They're called RUNS for a reason.
