Golden Nuggets: You know what? I don't care if it's preseason

by James Brady on Sep 3, 2010 3:00 AM PDT in 49ers Links

No, I really don't care if it's preseason. Winning rocks, honestly. Just got back in from the game and I'm absolutely exhausted. Straining your voice when you're just recovering from sickness (and have podcast duties to attend to, of course) isn't the smartest thing to do, but did anyone ever really get anywhere being smart? No, they most certainly did not. You have no arguments on that statement, and if you do, well... shutup. I think that's the fifth time I've told you guys to shutup in the last few days. Though I guess I'm not saying it to anybody at the time of typing this, unless one of Tre9er's split personalities are mucking about, which is certainly a possibility.. Oh yeah, we have roster cuts coming up soon and I'm sure plenty on the game we all just saw. So I'll stop talking now and get to that.

Michael Crabtree didn't play yesterday. I don't like that, really. What I don't like even more than that is the fact that he didn't even dress. (SacBee.com)

Vernon Davis is adamant that he wasn't out of line when he called out Michael Crabtree. (ESPN.com)

Maiocco takes a look at the Davises. It's funny that we can have a whole post for them. (CSNBayArea.com)

Singletary said that Nate Davis' spot on the roster is a question mark. (SacBee.com)

The first team defense was on the field yesterday, which is great. I'm glad we saw them play and exceptionally happy with Aubrayo Franklin's return. (CSNBayArea.com)

Kawakami had an interview with Scot McCloughan, which I was immediately disinterested in. I just don't really care what that man has to say at this point, unless he's going to write a tell-all book about why exactly he parted ways with the 49ers. (MercuryNews.com)

Steve Young had some words for Alex Smith on the radio yesterday. (PressDemocrat.com)

Agreed

That’s what I’m thinking, too. And it’s absolutely realistic. I think the 49ers will sort of be this year’s version of 2009’s Jets… except maybe not quite the #1 defense (which will be made up for by takeaways and having a better passing game than the ’09 Jets).

Young said Simms Jr. did'nt have it takes before anyone else, and he was right.

I hope he is wrong here. A different offence every year must be a factor. For anybody. Alex Smith comback player of the year!

Ju think ju can tell me to chut up, maing?!

I cut ju, maing! Ju don’t want 2 tell me to chut up, maing. I chut u up when I cut ju neck, maing!

(No idea what just happened)

Winning does rock. Granted, in a weird way it’s unnerving to see 4-0 in the pre-season. Sometimes you want to see all your flaws in the pre-season, and losing helps show you flaws. However, I can’t help but think the depth of this team is tremendously better than we’ve seen since, say, 2002.

But seriously maing, Don’t ju tell me to chut up, maing. I cut ju!

We did see flaws

Chargers exploited our 2nd string secondary pretty badly. So we got to see how bad Paymah can be on coverage. They just kept abusing him like a red-headed stepchild.

Coach Boone: And who's team is this, Gary? Is this your team? Or is this your daddy's team?
Bertier: Yours.
Coach Boone: Now get on the bus. Put on your jacket first and then get on the bus.

lol. Oh, I agree. I’m just saying in a way it helps flaws stand out a bit more. Also, I don’t want it in the mindset of this team that they can make mistakes like that and actually win games when it counts. That shit will catch up with you hard in the regular season.

With that said, I do think Sing understands that very well and will coach them to have a focused mindset.

Touchdown Forty Niners!
