Around SBN: Despite Relocation Drama, Coyotes Overcome Adversity

Golden Nuggets: Whyyyy.

Morning, everyone.  So I'm going to test out adding a few more things to the Nuggets.. you know, just because I can. At least for the offseason, I'll try and include more things from around SB Nation. For instance, if there's something worth noting around the NFL, I'll try and link to the coverage from the relevant team's blog. I'll also probably link other things around SB Nation that I found to be interesting, funny, etc. Things of that nature. I will implement this tomorrow. That being said, I also want to say that you guys can link anything you want in the comments, at least for the offseason. We'd all love to have a ton of super-relevant 49ers news, but if you've got something funny or interesting you want to share, hey, be my guest. It's the offseason, let's quell some boredom. That being said, I thought I'd share with you all that Fooch just used a deragatory term in an email to me and did not use [site decorum] tags. Should I report him to Gmail and see if I can get him banned? Seriously, uncivilized, much? I for one am offended.

Barber: Barber: RT @DancingBearX: @Skinny_Post What's it like having a blog that people comment on now? >> Gotta admit, beats being voice in the wilderness

Maiocco: Maiocco: My best guess is that it's highly unlikely. RT @SAC49er What are the chances Goldson gets a big deal before season starts?

Rival Blog Buzz At Revenge of the Bird they take a look at their 53-man roster and the projected tight ends who will make it, over at Field Gulls a look at Earl Thomas and the interceptions he makes, and how about a little Rams stadium talk

Yesterday On Niners Nation The day began with your favorite, the Golden Nuggets, Fooch then had a post concerning off-the-field conduct and how it should (or should not) affect Hall of Fame consideration and standing, he then posted a reminder (which is now outdated) to register to vote in the June 8th Santa Clara election, "Where Are They Now?" returned with another post courtesy of Smileyman, Fooch put together a site update covering the next two months here at Niners Nation, and I closed out the day with a player profile of Brian Jennings, long snapper.

Today On Niners Nation (All times are pacific, could possibly change)

7:00 AM - Fooch begins his series of 53-man roster predictions that will continue throughout the offseason and through training camp, coming to a culmination during preseason.

11:00 AM - We'll have a post going up about the American Needle vs the NFL case from Smileyman.

2:00 PM - Drew K continues his 2011 college football prospects with a look at tight ends.

49ers Tweet Of The Day "What's good San Jose for this eve? Tired of hearing about magic/celtics game.it should have been the Hawks!!" from Takeo Spikes, whose Twitter is here. As Stevenc pointed out in an email, he means the Atlanta Hawks.. but does he have to use the word 'Hawks' in reference to San Jose? Too soon, TKO, too soon. 

Yesterday's Best Comment "Any hopes of getting an early release for good behavior?" from riderless. It's not from yesterday, but many felt it was a tragic omission yesterday and I see it as well. Because of this, I am awarding riderless one and a half YBCs. Who's keeping score? The post was in response to LondonNiner saying that he was posting from his cell (phone).

Hey guys, sorry if it seems a bit rushed today.

Laptop is dying and I’m away from where I can charge it. If I missed anything let me know and post it in a comment!

Not sure why you added a question mark to this link. The article is very positive and is based on Alex’s 2009 performance. I can’t see any reason he doesn’t continue to get better if he stays healthy. Good get em’ Alex!

with all the buildup

I just hope he doesn’t create a huge heap of expectations that hurts him more than helps…but yeah, he should really have no reason not to play very well this year.

Crazy Stat to think about

And one statistic that really convinced me that Smith has turned the corner was his incredibly low rate of poor throws as scored by STATS last season. Just 10.5% of Smith’s passes to open receivers were off the mark, a rate that put him in a tie for second-best in the league along with the Vikings’ Brett Favre and just barely off the 10.3% pace of former Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner. The Saints’ Drew Brees (11.1%), Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger (12.1%) and Colts’ Peyton Manning (12.8%) rounded out the league’s top performers.

That’s pretty good company.

by EcERyda69 on May 25, 2010 9:43 AM PDT up reply actions  

That stat will probably get even better

With better OL protection. Though I’m wondering, is that percentage affected primarily by incomplete passes, or passes that were off the mark whether completed or not? Because if it’s the latter, I’m sure that pass Crabs caught against the Lions with James covering him was part of that percentage! Just saying.

Well you expect your QB to make the throws to open receivers

it’s thricky throws to covered receivers that make a QB elite

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority

I’m always skeptical of those stats, they are like tackling statistics. I have no clue who rates the data and what criteria they are using. I’ll take the positive review, just not sure the data that lead up to the statistical read out means anything.

did any one else see the article on the the sbnation site behind the net talking about the San Francisco’s lack of offense

DeMaurice.. master of exaggeration

lockout 50/50. depends on how well players have put money away and how much they are willing to give up.

It's bluster

Early team rankings from Pat Kirwan from NFL.com

http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8184857e&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true

I don’t know much about Mr. Kirwan but it looks like he actually did some research and put thought into his rankings, unlike Peter King who picks teams out of a hat.

I can't wait for Mango's sig to say "0 days to go".

Niners are the only NFC West team in the first two tiers

I guess that means he projects them as the NFC West Champs. I like it!

Maybe not paying attention

But these days it’s really hard to not know what’s going on! But these guys are professional competitors. If they keep their heads in the game for the most part and don’t give in to the pressure, they’ll be fine.

We have blind faith because its better then acting like a Dbag and hating on your own team. PUNKS!

Regarding Fooches use of fowl language....

A warning and nice lecture should suffice, as that is usually all I receive from him during my [site decorum] instances.
