Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

Golden Nuggets: Get 'em signed.

Morning folks, Ninjames here. The lack of links continues as the offseason continues. I really wish the 49ers would get some more rookies signed, that's the one thing we really have to look forward to right now. It appears the Rams have been pretty active on that front. I don't foresee many problems with getting these guys signed, the hardest one I imagine will be Taylor Mays - I'm sure his agent was talking him up on some very large dollar amounts, and then he fell far. I think he's the kind of guy who really wants to prove people wrong though, so while he will likely be the hardest to get signed, I don't see it being a really big problem.  I really hope we don't have anymore Michael Crabtrees this year... these guys all need to be playing. Anyway, I'l get to your few links that I actually do have for you.

Maiocco takes a look at the number of players who were kept last season at each position, and predicts how many will make it at each position this coming season. (CSNBayArea.com)

I figured I'd give you one of the worst articles I've ever read as far as not knowing what you're talking about goes. I'm sorry but I don't care if you don't believe in Franklin, which is understandable, or Sopoaga, who sucks - but to say Justin Smith is terribly overpaid is just insulting. The guy had as many hurries as DaMarcus Ware. Just awful defensive line rankings. (Yahoo.com)

The 49ers buzz is picking up steam - good stuff. I didn't read this article though, just sayin'. (ProFootballWeekly.com)

Star-divide

Lynch has a post about the roster, where there will be battles and the like. He calls it being "unsettled" but I think it's a bit overblown, personally. (SFGate.com)

Brandon Jones is fighting an uphill battle for a roster spot. I really don't think he'll make it, nor do I think he has any trade value. (ProFootballTalk.com)

The 49ers requested a rent cut at Candlestick park due to the lack of renovations and support. (Examiner.com)

Rival Blog Buzz ROTB had a fantasy football post. Turf Show Times had their Random Ramsdom, and a bit about Mardy Gilyard and the team coming to terms on a contract. Field Gulls has a retrospective on Nick Reed

Yesterday On Niners Nation Kicked off with the Golden Nuggets, Fooch continued roster projections, looking at wide receivers, and a post by urnext, always good stuff for a change of pace. 

Today On Niners Nation (All times pacific and subject to change)

7:00 AM - Fooch will have a post about the importance of the 2010 season.

11:00 AM - I will probably have a player profile up here.

2:00 PM - Playing it by ear today, we'll get something up for you guys.

I also read the defensive line rankings

I was surprized but just pathetic review by Yahoo

By the way I agree I don’t think we have any cases this year that will make it difficult to sign the rest of the rookies.

Rookies

yes, I really dont want to be waiting on signings the days leading up to camp. We have several guys who look to make a big impact this year and they need to be in camp.

Interesting that Maiocco thinks the 49ers will keep 9 OL's

which spells a roster spot, likely, for Alex Boone.

Staley, Iupati, Heitmann, Rachal, Davis
Sims, Baas, Snyder, Boone

this would please me much, except I also know it means someone else is getting cut to make room for that 9th OL

MM even went so far as to say 10 OL's!!!

that’s ludicrous

Not active roster.

no really, he did!

he said they want to keep 11 players, ten is a good number with one developmental player on the PS (paraphrased)

I think he meant one more developmental player.

I read that line over several times – I just don’t think it’s what he really meant.

I asked him on twitter last night

about the 9ers keeping just 8 OL’s and he said "No, not with two first-round picks and best OL depth they’ve had in a long time. "

That's a weird philosophy.

You don’t keep a ton of o-lineman like you do linebackers, with intention of mixing them in. Keep your starters and the backups you need.

One thing I can definitely see happening is starting the season with more lineman on the roster but as things die down demoting Boone or someone to the PS.

I think it was MM that mentioned how the Saints

collected Tackles last year…think they had 4 on the 53

I think MM is making tons of room for special teams players

it’s going to be interesting…

Isn't Maiocco usually the most wrong when it comes to the beat writers projections?

Haha just sayin’.

yeah, the weakest part of his writing

is player evaluation, I think.

Not just player evaluaton

projections in general

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority

Yahoo rankings

All their rankings thus far are pathetic. Maybe the OL ranks are about right based on last year, but there’s just so much bias in the way the rankings were done. I don’t care how good you think Brees is, to rank him higher than Manning is ridiculous after just getting one SB and no MVP.

I’d be willing to bet if they rated strictly ILB’s they’d have the audacity to rate someone else above Willis. Biased writers.

d line rankings

Absolutely pathetic. In my opinion this d-line was the best aspect of the 49ers lsat season, and they have the same unit intact right now. To rank them 19 is just awful. Franklin and smith are top 5 at their respective positions and sopoaga is a solid run stopper. When I saw that this joke of a writer say that smith is terribly overpaid, I honestly lost it. I can’t wait to see what this guy says about the LBS. I am going to give this dbag a nice e-mail if he puts the niners out of top 10.

by zmoney on Jun 29, 2010 9:54 AM PDT reply actions  

Haha where is my cred for bringing the D-line article up on yesterday's Nuggets? :)

“Here is a lovely article…. that pretty much says our D-line is lame and Justin Smith is overpaid

No prob....

I usually notice Yahoo articles because I go through yahoo to get here lol….Yeah, i was pretty annoyed after reading the article and even more annoyed i couldn’t leave a comment on it lol

by sanfranfanmdk on Jun 29, 2010 3:07 PM PDT up reply actions  

I can see a “At least we’re not Jason Cole” article coming real soon after reading that steaming turd of an article. Gains entry to worst 49ers article of the year with Kawakami’s Jimmy Clausen source and just about everything Lowell Cohn wrote between May & June.
