Golden Nuggets: Glad to have him back

… here in Vegas it’s Fourteen hour delay , NFL Network won’t show it until 7.am sunday , Ugh i’ll put myself in a media blackout until then …!!

i EXPECT the 49ers to do to the raiders what we did to the vikings except more of it! it will be a good ‘practice’ game for us, but not as good as the regular season when we beat the crap out of them! I hate the raiders!
GO NINERS!!!!

God I wish JaMarcus was still a Raider right now

My roommate is a Raiders fan. I will punch him tomorrow.

The most interesting visuals occurred at the conclusion of practice. Quarterback Alex Smith, receivers Michael Crabtree, Josh Morgan and Ted Ginn, running back Frank Gore and tight end Vernon Davis formed a circle and spent about 10 minutes just talking after practice. At the end of their confab, they put their hands together like a basketball team breaking a huddle after a timeout.

This makes me really happy to read, especially considering the injuries. If Smith et al. can’t have a rapport on-field, then at least they are having a literal rapport. This is the core of our offense being buddies. That’s a football team.

I am excited to see how the 49ers utilize Gore and Westbrook. If they switch of possessions, or plays. Also excited to see if they use a two RB formation a lot. This is the best indicator of how they’re offensive scheme is going to look in week 1 at Seattle.

I am not too nervous about Davis’ lack of playing time. It isn’t like him and Smith are barely getting accustomed to one another. How many times did they hit pay dirt last season?

I am also interested to see how Philip Adams plays tomorrow. If he is going to show some consistencÝ or is he going to be defined as a “not ready for prime time player” this season. Additionally, it is important that Smith has at least some of his weapons for a couple drives. Its great that he drove down the field against Minnesota without the “studs” but, I want to see him get reps with Crabtree, Westbrook and Gore
