Golden Nuggets: Roster cuts suck

Good morning everyone. Apologies if these guy up a little bit late, I got started on them late and thus they'll be a bit rushed as I only have about twenty minutes to do them. We had some roster cuts yesterday, which is pretty big news. I have to say I'm a little disappointed, I had hoped at least one of those guys cut would be something on the 49ers practice squad. Actually, I was pretty darn convinced. Still, if they were cut before the 75-man limit was even in effect, then they really did have no future with the 49ers organization. Roster cuts are a somber time for me, I hate to see so many hopeful players being told that they'll no longer be playing football at the present time and, oh yeah, no more paychecks. It just sucks, but it's a necessity. Anyway, on to your links.
The 49ers released Brandon Long, Bakari Grant and Patrick Stoudamire. I thought that one of Grant and Stoudamire would at least make the practice squad. Still, I always liked Adams more than Stoudamire. (49ers.com)
Really glad to see Phillip Adams play well. I didn't really know who he was when we picked him, but almost immediately after-the-fact, I was happy with the pick. (SacBee.com)
Maiocco has a stock report on the 49ers who are rising and falling in favor in San Francisco. (CSNBayArea.com)
The secondary (and the defense as a whole, really) did not pass the test on Saturday against the Raiders. (PressDemocrat.com)
It really irks me that David Carr received a bit of praise and good words from the coaching staff. He was abysmal, but he is still the unquestioned number two. No, this is not a Nate Davis advocacy post, don't treat it as such. (PressDemocrat.com)
Here is Sando's latest mailbag post. (ESPN.com)
The Chronicle has a first-half review from the game on Saturday. (SFGate.com)
Matt Barrows tried his hand at predicting the 49ers 53-man roster. I think it's pretty indicative of what might happen. (SacBee.com)
Sam Lam also takes a look at the 53-man. (Examiner.com)

haha, did you read Sando's mailbag?
looks like Jason Smith, the Rams 2nd overall pick, might end up being a career right tackle. and i was mad when the 49ers took a right tackle at #11…

Will James over Karl Paymah in next cut
I think the secondary is going to be reworked over the next few years. We should go with experience now, as we have a chance this season to go far, and not invest in question marks in the secondary, which may be relatively plentiful to find every year. I thought the cut of Stoudamire was right therefore. The passing teams will be saying “thank you” to our stop-the-run defense and throwing long; if the speedy LaBoy doesn’t hold up it could be a long year without good decision making “back there” in the secondary. Spencer, Clements, James, and Brown are the best best, in that order. Then we’ll see what’s available in the draft. On the other hand, we need to be worried about Lewis’ speed. I see Mays being given a good look at in the right spots during the year leapfrogging others.
hard to say
they really don’t know what they’re getting in James thus far…he hasn’t stayed healthy enough to practice but a week or two at most this off-season. Paymah is physical and fairly fast, plays special teams, etc. He’s the known quantity at this point. I think they’re waiting on James to be healthy then waive/injured him
Alex Boone WON'T survive on the PS...in fact, he wont even clear waivers.

if they wait for Will James to be healthy...
then how could they waive/injured him? he wouldn’t be injured at that point.
either way, i don’t think Will James has any future with the 49ers whatsoever. in the short practice time he did get before he got injured, i remember him getting burned for a deep touchdown at least twice.

It's a money thing
If they wait until he’s healthy, and then waive him, they don’t have to pay him. If an NFL team waives an injured player, they have to pay him, at least in some sort of settlement form. That’s why they waited to waive Brandon Jones. He returned to practice for one day, then they cut ties with him.
yeah, but
they still couldn’t use the waived/injured option, which is what Tre9er said they should do.
once he’s healthy, they would just cut him regular-style.

sorry
I meant cut him at that point. Waive/injured is what they’d have to do now and do a settlement…

Dre Bly is with the Lions these days.
on the bright side, there’s a decent chance he will earn us a compensatory pick in next year’s draft.

Someone else will have to step up
Who is going to fill the role of dropping three game winning INTs this season?
at key points too
no small feat

i'm sure we can find someone to drop INTs for us.
but who do we have that can catch an INT, run it back, celebrate in the middle of the play, and throw away a free TD?
Shawntae’s gonna be Shawntae?

I’m just wondering how you do these. Do you wake up at 3 or do you stay up till 3?

front page writers
can write a post ahead of time and schedule it to go up at a certain time.
…but that comment about having only twenty minutes to get it done sounds like he was actually up that late this time.

Sometimes he is late too.
I think it’s a ploy so he can surrond the picture with text.

Seeing as how a lot of the articles aren't posted until midnight...
I’m up until at least 1:30 a.m. every night, usually 2 doing these.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
yeah, and "It has been foretold"
those were awesome too…especially the KC game…
bwahahahaha

"Moving Forward."
