Good morning everyone, Ninjames here. I'm in a slight hurry so I'm going to keep my introduction as well as my commentary brief. No snarky comments from any of you about how it must be soooo great that you won't be hearing much from me or I will.. well... I mean, I probably won't ban you, but I will write nasty things about you in the Nuggets tomorrow, and if we know anything, it's that e-cred is more important than anything else on the planet, including snarky comments. Anyway, I think I used the word "snarky" enough to attract London Niner into the thread.. not sure why I wanted to, but I think I did a pretty good job of stalling and wrapping this here text around the picture on the right, no? Enjoy the 49ers links, folks!
David Baas' injury complicates the center position. If Wragge plays well, is he then back in the battle with Baas? I'm going to say no, mostly because I really, really think Wragge is a bad player. (PressDemocrat.com)

I was one of the few who had a good feeling about the Phillip Adams pick. I won't lie and say I knew who he was when we took him, but after doing a bit of investigating I was complacent. Now I hope he makes the roster. (CSNBayArea.com)
Eric Heitmann is eager to come back. I'm glad, considering it was through only his hard work and determination that he came back so strongly from his last injury. (ESPN.com)

The 49ers are comfortable with David Carr as the second quarterback. Funny, I'm not - at all. (SFGate.com)

I wanna be cool and say yes...
But no. I generally only aimed at things I was willing to destroy. Those bullets came back down somewhere in LA

nice
Two Halloweens ago I went with this as a costume. Not many people got it, but the fact that two people recognized what I was made it all worth it.

I love this movie, in a “it’s a horrible movie” sort of way. My girlfriend and I watched it drunk once, and for the life of me (us?), we couldn’t figure out why they were jumping out of a plane. Twice. My girlfriend also thought Keanu and Swayze were going to make-out for some reason. Don’t know where that one came from…
Point of story: cool movie.
NICE Fooch!
makes me wanna get this mask… then wear a patrick swayze mask under it… And wear angel wings
Gimme 1 round!

i have to say, Ninjames,
it is soooo great that we won’t be hearing much from you today. [/snarky]

Snarky
I’ve no idea what snarky means, or why you thought using the word would attract me to the thread. I refuse to take part in any thread that contains the word snarkey, unless it is being used to describe the well-known NFL tight end Jeremy Snarkey.

yeah
but hey, cream rises to the top…we’ll figure out a lot about the O-Line…that’s one way to look at it anyways.
Alex Boone WON'T survive on the PS...in fact, he wont even clear waivers.

saw that.
someone give me some solid, visual or statistical evidence that Sopoaga is a top tier player on this team. Seriously, I’ll go watch tape if you tell me where he is so awesome.

Gladly!
Pie eating contest. Comic relief. Gives others hope. Provides distraction to opponent’s linemen as they giggle when he falls down for no reason.

well duh...

I know no defense is ever perfect...
and injuries, free agency, and busted draft picks screw up lots of could-have-beens…
But for the life of me, if our defense had an upgrade for Soap, and one more good corner, I think we’d be in the conversation for best in the NFL. You could also point to our average pash rush, but I think we get a six or eight sacks apiece from all our OLB’s this year, and more if our pass defense were just a little less porous…
What I’m trying to say is that ours is damn good, and with one or two upgrades, would be amazing.
@McWagner: I enjoy the idea that opposing linemen giggle mid-game…

they usually dont
But Soap brings it out of them. Watch game film. Willis blowing by Adrian was a result of AD not believing his eyes at Issac falling from little to no contact

Baas" injury is only a stinger. Won't keep him out long at all.
Just makes your trap muscle go dead for a few days. It’s good to not take hits on your shoulder for a few days till it gets better. It could limit his action come Sat against the Raiders, but he should play if Sing wants it.
Wragge
You’re not wrong about Wragge—I watched the Minnesota game last night focusing on the offensive line and he stunk. The only reason he makes the roster is because we want a backup at center and then as soon as Heitmann is back he’s gone.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
Just throwing this out there...
But with Franklin back, what do you think the chances are we see RJF get some work at Soap’s spot in pre-season games? I think we can rotate Francois with a couple of our guys this year, keep them fresh, and find out what we really have in the kid. Plus, there seems a reasonable possibility he might be better than Soap with a bit of experience.
Thoughts?

excellent plan for this year.
but i still think the team wants RJF to be their long-term NT, so we would need to bring in a replacement for Soap anyway.
