Golden Nuggets: Why yes, I do post this late to have a cool title.
Morning everyone, Ninjames here with your Nuggets for the day. How was everyone's hangover yesterday? I didn't really talk about Independence Day because I generally don't do anything. Eager to know how productive you all were yesterday. Anyway, the lack of links continues, and I'm sitting here wishing I can get a rookie signing or something like that so we have something to go on. I mean, the closest we've had is Anthony Davis signing on with a new agent. There's seriously nothing, I think everyone on the 49ers is presently sleeping. So what do I have for you? A link, maybe two - and even then I might stretch it with something unrelated. But I'll do what I do because if I didn't you all would be lost.. without me.. It's like I'm.. some martyr.. Uhh! Sorry. BigBlueShoe got a hold of my keyboard there for a moment. He's your link(s?) folks, enjoy.
Samuel Lam breaks down the 49ers week two opponent, the New Orleans Saints. I really think the 49ers can come away with a win here. (Examiner.com)
In this article, Matt Maiocco defends Dave Razzano because the guys are buddies. In all honesty, I didn't read this article, mostly because I don't care what Razzano's viewpoint is - I care about why he wanted his voice heard and the stupid mistakes he made in continuity. (CSNBayArea.com)
Here's an interview with Anthony Davis. I have yet to watch the video myself - just unable to at this current time, but it's from a good site so here you go. (WarriorsWorld.net)
Rival Blog Buzz Revenge Of The Birds continues projecting the 53-man roster and Field Gulls has a season retrospective on Max Unger. Nothing from Turf Show Times.
Yesterday On Niners Nation Kicking us off, albeit a couple minutes late with the Golden Nuggets, we had a post on potential all-pros for the 49ers in 2010, I had a post gauging your confidence on Glen Coffee, and Smileyman had a by the numbers post.
Today On Niners Nation (All times pacific and subject to change)
7:00 AM - We'll have a 53-man roster projection on outside linebackers.
11:00 AM - I'll have another confidence post, maybe.
2:00 PM - Get on and find out!

Yeah. That’s right. 3:00 AM, what? Heck no. 3:01.
Also, it appears that Dave Razzano fella’ is just vomiting up interviews everywhere.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
That was the most pointless interview ever
The only part that has not been said (at least not that much) is the Redskins winning the division.
But saying that McNabb is a good, talented QB or that Shanahan is a great coach and QB coach is nothing new. They both have something to prove? Yep, no one else has said that this off-season, you know, except for every analyst/reporter/guy at the bar when the Redskins traded for McNabb. How about talking about something interesting like their young receivers developing with McNabb or the defense and their transition to a 3-4. I am tired of people choosing a division winner based on a coach or QB.

Thank God for Ninjames
and his late night posts. The baby is crying and I need a break. Just watched the youtube on Anthony Davis at Warriorsworld and I got a kick out of the fact when asked to name five former Niners he says Guy Mckintyre, Roger Craig, Deion Sanders before even thinking of Joe, Jerry or Steve. But he saved himself when he mentioned the guys he looked up to were Orlando Pace and Walter Jones. He seems like a down to earth, humble guy and those sideburns or lambchops or whatever are downright badass.
Oh and that video of Razzano was ok and then went horrible
I did not agree with what he said about Earl Thomas, but whatever, he probably watched him more (but questionable since it’s coming from Razzano).
But what stunned me was this:
Razzano said
I will say he [Sam Bradford] is the best I’ve seen since Troy Aikman coming out in 1989. And I think the guy is a bigger, more athletic version of Aikman. He’s got rare accuracy. He’s got a rare arm. He’s got great intangibles. And a guy like that is a can’t-miss prospect.
I think Bradford has the potential to be good, but the best he’s seen since Aikman?!? Bradford is a better prospect than Peyton Manning?
And if that wasn’t enough (his view on the NFC West):
I think it is a two horse race between Arizona and San Fransisco. I think it is going to go down to the wire. And I still give the Cardinals the edge. I think they are going to emphasize the run a little more with Beanie Wells and they no longer have Warner. So again, I think Wells has a chance to lead the league in rushing.
Why are all of you awake?
My excuse is that I put together posts for you lot. Well?
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

Self-sustaining thermonuclear fusion
It keeps me up at night. Don’t worry, I think I’m close to finding an answer.

its called heartburn
you get it from arguing that the Cowboys had any intention of having a 4-3OLB play as their MLB instead of somebody experienced at that position.
Gimme 1 round!

What kind of heartburn do you have to call it thermonuclear?
And I never said that the Cowboys wanted Sean Lee over Bowman. I was just trying to correct you when you said that if the Cowboys drafted Bowman, he would play 3-4 OLB. Because if a 3-4 team drafted Bowman, a 4-3 OLB in college, what position would he most likely play for them?
by ZeroOneInfinity on Jul 6, 2010 10:57 AM PDT up reply actions
In the Cowboys system
The smallest backer they have plays OLB. But for their team almost everybody is 6’2" or higher. Sean Lee fit what they wanted. Navorro didn’t. The only guy on their team that is similar in stature and weight plays 3-4OLB. How is this hard to comprehend?
Gimme 1 round!

we really need a week 1 W...
Because im scared ishtless of the saints. We start out 2-0 on the season beating the saints and we should instantly get some respect as contenders not just for the division, but for the nfc as a whole. Other than the cards, the niners have not shown the ability to beat the nfc elite for many years now. It will only be week 2, but this game will show us just how serious this team is at contending for the upcoming season.
Much easier, all-mighty Megatron, then attacking the real threat...The Autobots moonbase!!

Random note:
I am so sick about hearing about LaBron Favre!
"I'm blessed..... Thanks, God bless" ...hey, it worked for Tim Tebow.
Well,
Razanno has been proven correct SO FAR,so just because you don’t like hearing the truth about alex and Davis etc,doesn’t mean Razanno was wrong,it means you are either just an unrealistic homer or are Alex’s Mom,lol.
Hopefully Alex is a late bloomer and will turn around his bad career in 2010 and prove Razanno wrong,but RIGHT NOW,Razanno looks like a genius. !
Let’s all hope Alex is just one of thoise late bloomers and will lead the team to a great season and to several SB’s in the years to come. (but don’t hold your breath).
Razzano has not been proven correct so far
Nate Davis is clearly not a first round talent like he ranked him as and Alex Smith performed far better than 3rd round talent last year.
You can argue all you want about Alex not being worth the number one overall pick, but he’s clearly better than a 3rd round pick.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
You think Sam Bradford is the best QB prospect since Troy Aikman? Or that Beanie Wells has a chance to lead the league in rushing?
Because Razzano said both of those things. And I was not one to bash Razzano for saying bad things about Alex Smith because it’s easy for a scout to say things after their career has started and all been said before. For all we know, he could come out and say that he rated JaMarcus Russell as a sixth round QB and I will think the same thing, who cares.

The same Sam Bradford that came off the injury that caused Alex to lose 2 years of his career
Was he worth the #1 pick? Honestly in hindsight I’d take Suh AND Clausen. But under any normal circumstances yes you gotta take him as the Rams. However slotting him against a HoF QB right after a significant shoulder injury is just laughable.
Gimme 1 round!

Read the thing on CSN where Maiocco is defending him
His list of the prospects he called right or said were overrated just absolutely stinks like bull$#*!. I bet this dude hasn’t found a low round success his entire career.
Gimme 1 round!

I don't know how anyone is just supposed to take his word for it
The only one that I could believe was the Levi Brown one. I did not think Brown was that great coming out of college and man, Willis or Peterson. And you skip both?!? But I guess you can’t put all the blame on the scout because they don’t make the final decision.
But man, listening to him talk just makes me wonder what world he is living in. Wells is a good back, but to say that he’ll be the leading rusher next season is a bit of a stretch. And I have to wonder how Razzano rated Peyton Manning if Bradford is the best he’s seen since Aikman.

Huh?
It has nothing to do, once again, of whether or not he thinks Smith is a bust at this point. It has to do with the way he’s vomiting out retardation and practically oozes an inferiority complex from his sweat glands.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
