Goood morning everyone. Ninjames here, coming at you on time with your Nuggets... last time I said that they went up at 11 AM... so uh.. yeah, I'm going to find some wood to knock on. I'm not sure I have as many links for you today as I did yesterday but we'll see what I can come up with. I'm sure I've got more contract talks, I'll have what's going on with Niners Nation today, I've got an article from my blog, and um... well, not sure what all I have for you. I still maintain the hardest thing I ever have to do with 49ers writing is figuring out just how to ramble on and force this text around the picture on the right, here. Either way, I'll say it here too: if there's anything you can suggest about making the Nuggets better each day, let me know. I want this to be definitive.
Maiocco breaks down the contracts of the 49ers, namely those that are coming to an end soon. (CSNBayArea.com)
He (Maiocco) also voted against Brian Cushing in the re-vote for DROTY. I would have voted for him again.. I think, but he makes some good points. (CSNBayArea.com)
Here's my post that I spent a criminally small amount of time on, it's about Vernon Davis and why he'll be making less money in his new contract when he gets it by playing for us instead of hitting free agency. (Eureka49ers.com)
The 49ers say they're getting ripped. Awesome, just make sure they don't get ripped to the point of having no cardio. (PressDemocrat.com)
Mike Iupati and Anthony Davis will likely be week one starters, despite whatever Singletary says now about battling. (PressDemocrat.com)
The future of the 49ers cornerbacks. I still say Brown can be a starter for us.(Examiner.com)
Sando has a post about predicting the NFC West but I've yet to read it as I stay away from generated things of the sort. (ESPN.com)
Lynch has nothing else to write about so he's going with the 49ers best second round draft picks. (SFGate.com)
I reported this yesterday... but ya know. Eddie D will be presenting for Jerry Rice at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony. (PressDemocrat.com)
Joe Staley is back with Random Thoughts From a Big Guy. I love it. (49ers.com)
Darnell Dockett says that we've got some players on the Niners that are going to be disrespectful. Perish the thought! (RevengeOfTheBirds.com)
Yesterday On Niners Nation The Nuggets kicked things off, as usual, Fooch highlighted the Twitter smack talkbetween Davis and Dockett, Smileyman had a good post about high school football rivalries, and Fooch examines a quote by Jimmy Raye about Alex Smith.
Today On Niners Nation (Times as usual are Pacific and could possibly change)
7:00 AM - From what I understand, Drummer has a post going up about Frank Gore. I don't see it scheduled yet, so we'll see if it happens.
11:00 AM - I post my second 49ers profiles post and highlight LB Ahmad Brooks. The first one was on Eric Heitmann.
2:00 PM to ??? - At some point, I believe Fooch will try and get something else up. Or maybe Smileyman will, and if not, I'll hop on and post something. But no worries, there should be something after my 11 AM post, just unsure of when exactly.
49ers Tweet Of The Day "I done the tortada commercial on the cashier at taco bell and he look at me. Like what are u talking about lol" from Patrick Willis. His Twitter is here. I want to see this. Now.
Yesterday's Best Comment "pom poms" by thedly, correcting a typo from another user. thedly did what many of us thought about doing, but thought better of our masculinity than to make such a correction. Of course we don't know how it's spelled... right guys? Right? Who's up for building a log cabin and wrestling bears? Man stuff.

On your article
The reason we have the image of a winning team even though we haven’t won yet is because everybody on the 9ers knew Safety, OT, and OG were the weak links on the team going into this years draft… Now we’ve filled each position with players that will be no worse than adequate and could quite possibly be dominant.
Talk about turning your weaknesses into your strengths. No wonder people wanna stick around.
9er pro bowlers next year
Offense -
Alex Smith – QB (Starter)
Frank Gore – RB (
Mike Iupati – LG
Vernon Davis – TE (Starter)
Michael Crabtree – WR
Defense -
Patrick Willis – MLB (Starter)
Ahmad Brooks – OLB
Dashon Goldson – FS
Taylor Mays – SS (Starter)
Special Teams –
– P
Ted Ginn Jr. – KR
That’s 11 pro bowlers baby

James I can’t comment on your blog from my phone so I’ll do it here. You said that VD has a figure in his head… I recall reading here someone saying like 5yrs 40 mil, is that it?
by Rod Blogojevich on May 13, 2010 6:01 AM PDT via mobile up reply actions
no, I think he meant
that when VD was a kid there was a freak accident during open brain surgery and a GI Joe fell into his skull…thus now he has a “figure in his head”

Don't see Smith as a starter
While it is possible to have a season that could warrent such an honor, he gets no respect from the media. Gore has a possible chance at starting in the Pro Bowl. The line is greatly immproved and he could have a monster year. Mays has no shot at starting and little chance at even making it. I believe he has the talent, but he will most likely not be a starter till mid season.
Nedney: with a better all around team, the 49ers will get into field goal range more often, he would have a chance based on the amount of chances he will get.

Alex will be #2 in the NFC
Except We’ll lose in the NFC championship game next year and the Saints will go back to the SB so Alex will start in the Pro Bowl
Gimme 1 round!

I’m not betting on the Saints next season. I can’t see them putting it together two season in a row. I also cannot see the Vikings putting that kind of season together again. I think both will make the playoffs, I just don’t see them getting there with all their pieces in place.
Strangely when I look at the NFC I see it coming down to three teams; 49ers, Packers and Cowboys (in other words all out war for human survival on this planet).
well, with FA teams are certainly no lock to repeat performances
but I can’t see the Saints got much worse. Remind me again who did they lose this off-season and who did they add?
The Vikings may be in trouble either way because it really looks like the Williams wall is finally gonna have to serve that suspension, which will hurt. Plus, I think if that happens, Favre will realize his chances to get to the Championship have been reduced…and may retire.

Love the confidence
Can’t see Smith as a starter at the Pro-Bowl (too many in the media still label him a bust).
I can see Gore there
I think there’s a very strong chance that Iupati goes, but he faces stiff competition for the guard spot.
If VD has anywhere close to the year he had last year he’s a lock for the starting spot
I can see Crabtree having a huge year and going.
Willis will definitely be there and starting
Don’t think Brooks will unless he wins the starting job
I can see Goldson going
Mays won’t go—Very tough for rookie safeties to make it to the Pro-Bowl.
You forgot about Justin Smith and Aubrayo Franklin. Smith will be a lock and will start. If Franklin has another great year he’ll be going.
I was right, you were wrong.
Yeah, the league has some premier guards right now.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

I didn't adjust them
Aubrayo and Justin both had great seasons last year… I dunno if they will replicate career bests in back to back years.
Gimme 1 round!
by ItBurnzWhenIP on May 13, 2010 1:31 PM PDT up reply actions
Franklin was just getting warmed up
remember last year was his first in a true 3-4. Last year wasn’t even Smith’s best year and he made it to the Pro Bowl.
Smith’s stats the last four years
2009—55 tackles. 6.0 sacks. 1 PD. 2 FF
2008—73 tackles 7.0 sacks. 3 PD 1 INT 1 FF
2007—78 tackles 2.0 sacks 3 PD
2006—81 tackles 7.5 sacks 3 PD 1 FF
He absolutely did not have a career year last year. There’s no reason to think he won’t be even better next year.
To think that Goldson, Brooks, and Mays have a better shot than Smith to make the Pro-Bowl is ludicrous.
I was right, you were wrong.
You're not taking into account he didn't actually get selected for the Pro Bowl last year
He didn’t make it until people dropped out
Gimme 1 round!
by ItBurnzWhenIP on May 13, 2010 2:07 PM PDT up reply actions
Smith was an alternate
And it won’t matter in 5 years that he was an alternate—he’ll be listed as being a member of the Pro Bowl.
The thing with D-line play is that it generally takes a couple of years of stellar play to get noticed by the selection committee. Right now the Williams wall in Minnesota is taking up the notice of NFC voters but with likely suspensions coming for Kevin and Pat they’ll be out of contention this year.
That should make Smith the odds on favorite to be nominated as a starter to the Pro-Bowl
I was right, you were wrong.
Though I do see what you mean
I must have looked at the wrong screen when I was looking at what I thought was his statline. I knew he had more tackles in other years but I thought he was at his peak for sacks.
Gimme 1 round!
by ItBurnzWhenIP on May 13, 2010 2:09 PM PDT up reply actions
Ahhh after looking at Franklin's statline
I think I was associating his stats with Smith too.
Gimme 1 round!
by ItBurnzWhenIP on May 13, 2010 2:11 PM PDT up reply actions
Might've been
Franklin is a true NT and he only started to excel when we switched to a true 3-4. I expect him to make the Pro-Bowl this year.
I was right, you were wrong.
a stat not there
is QB pressures. Smith was very high in that category.

Division winners:
Rams, Lions, Skins, Tampa Bay
Raiders, Jags, Bills, Browns

Cushing revote was stupid
they should’ve just left it alone or moved it to the next guy in line. I know of at least one voter who changed his vote to Cushing in protest.
What the AP needs to do is get a new set of rules in that says if you’re found to have taken steroids during the season in which you were given an honor the award automatically goes to the guy in second place.
That would make it fair and consistent.
I was right, you were wrong.
I don't mind the re-vote
He can claim he won it now. I still think he’s a dirty player (well I thought so coming out of college) but the AP had a chance to take it away and decided not to.

Ninjames you have clearly been blogging about the 49ers longer than Niners Nation and Eureka 49ers have been around… After much research and thought, I have determined that your writing style is just too similar to this page for it to not be a coincidence. YOU HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED!
Haha has anyone actually seen this site before? Too bad it is been 4 years since the last update. I wonder who writes it? He must have been pretty damn bitter Jerry Rice found great deals on massage therapy before he did. Too bad there isn’t a Jeff Garcia section, that would be golden
