Golden Nuggets: Internet sucks

by James Brady on Aug 20, 2010 4:40 AM PDT in 49ers Links

Ninjames' Note: Sorry that this was late folks, but you can blame Charter Cable for this . Usually my internet troubles are my own, but this time I was at my sister's place, and wouldn't you know it - the internet cut out at 2:40, basically shortly after I got done chatting with Fooch. Apologies!

Good morning everybody. I don't mean to jump the gun here but I THINK tomorrow morning you'll have the first edition of the Niners Nation podcast to listen to. That's right, you get to listen to myself and Smileyman talk for basically the first time and dish about the 49ers (we're absolutely gal pals, I promise) for a period of time. That's tomorrow as in Saturday, so be sure to get on. I'll talk more about it in the Nuggets tomorrow. Until then, we've got some 49ers links and things of that nature. Enjoy

Here are Maiocco's notes from the morning of practice, and also from the afternoon session. (CSNBayArea.com)

Barber has some fine notes about Singletary from practice. I love this guy. Singletary, not Barber. Barber is OK though. I like him. I just don't, you know.. like him like him. (PressDemocrat.com)

Here's a good article on Diyral Briggs. Good stuff, I'm glad he's making strides. (SacBee.com)

Sucks about Joe Nedney and his leg - I'm not too comfortable with him anymore. (PressDemocrat.com)

Here's some notes from the afternoon practice. (PressDemocrat.com)

Hey check it out - an article about Dominique Zeigler. What? Bias? Shutup. (Yahoo.com)

The starting center job - while Heitmann is out - is Baas' job to lose. I'm alright with that. (PressDemocrat.com)

Singletary paid special attention to - you guessed it, the linebacker drills. (SacBee.com)

Sounds like Nedney is pretty much done.

he's calcified his demise

Vernon Davis, Michael Crabtree, Tedd Ginn/Delanie Walker, Frank Gore, Brian Westbrook...which one is getting the ball and where?

I think he still has another year in him

But I hope we are looking for a good backup/replacement to move in and continue with the excellence he has been providing us these past years.

if we roster 2 kickers

I’ll be pissed. We’re already going to be cutting some quality depth as it is…don’t want to lose another player because of Joe’s calcified mass…

The chances of us doing that are zero to negative

However, I would say a good thing to do is let Andrus take the bulk of the kicking duties for the preseason and then give Nedney some spot duty in the last game or two. That way we will have a better idea if it might be a good decision to cut ties while it doesn’t count yet. We’ll also have likely seen enough of Andrus to know if he’s got what it takes to be the permanent guy.

yeah

and kickers are a “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. You see guys get released all the time and picked right up by another team.

Kickers are way easy to pick up

we grabbed Andrus the day before the game that he played in for us. Didn’t even have him try out in San Francisco

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority

I like Andrus a lot.

My only complaint is his field goal kick is low.

He could be our kicker

I’m sure Singletary would prefer to put his season with ole’ reliable but he might have to suffer growing pains with Andrus to have any kicker at all.

Is this Niner Nation pod cast new ...

…and how does it work or do i juz have to wait and see …!!

Gotta love a woman that wear's knee pad's to work ...!!

Brand new.

Smileyman and myself are recording the first one tonight. All the first one will be is an audio file, either embedded here or hosted somewhere else, with a link here. Future iterations will have other users from NN on (hoping for one new one every episode) and future iterations will also be live as opposed to pre-recorded, with call-ins available and things of that nature.

Kind of like a radio show, but it’ll start off a little unprofessional.

49er podcast

Good idea. Need to listen to something productive while I work.

It is Ziggie Time!

Miles Austin went undrafted and didn’t do nothing for the first 3 years until last year, his fourth. Zeigler has waited 3 years for his chance and he deserves it. All he does is make plays.

by ericalancanty on Aug 20, 2010 9:14 AM PDT reply actions

same with Miles Austin's QB

I was thinkin this today too though. Kid is gonna be a star…jus yoo wait n see!

A Barrows reader had a few good nicknames for Gore/Westbrook duo

Nova-Cane (obviously WB is first, then Frank in this one…WB went to Villa’nova and Gore is a former Miami Hurri’cane)

Hit and Run

Hit and Miss

Then again we need to incorporate Dixon into this too right?

nicknames

I’m thinking I’d put together a post on that and get you guys to submit nicknames there. I’m guessing not everybody here posts comments on Barrows blog, so might as well double the work load. Maybe turn it into an overall nickname thread or something….

by David Fucillo on Aug 20, 2010 10:16 AM PDT up reply actions

yeah

I think leaving Dixon out would be a big mistake. If the nicknames caught on then WB is hardly in the game or Gore goes down…that would be lame. It would be like Nova-Cane…and oh yeah, Dixon.

Over at SI, the Niners are getting some fantasy lovin’, especially Gore, Crabs, Vernon, and even Smith. I also like this writer. He makes fun of East Coast bias, and he slams Hasselbeck and the Seahawks. Awesome.
