Golden Nuggets: Well, here we go

by James Brady on Sep 4, 2010 3:00 AM PDT in 49ers Links

So the 49ers didn't waste any time with their roster cuts. It appears Mike Singletary isn't an individual to sit, mucking about with deadlines and chance them making that whizzing sound when they fly overhead. He was brutally to the point it seems, and the 22 cuts were made rather promptly. There's a couple surprises, but some of us did an infinitely better job predicting the 53-man roster than last year. Just about everyone missed last year, we had some that weren't even close. Still, I think today will be good to watch around the league and see what cuts are made. We'll have an open thread to that affect. Anyway, I procrastinated too long on these so I'm going to get to them so I'm not late. Enjoy.

Singletary reached his decision on the 53-man roster. And it was his decision, believe me. (CSNBayArea.com)

The biggest note is the cutting of RB Michael Robinson. I still can't rationalize this in my head, not when someone like Curtis Taylor is on the roster. (SacBee.com)

Robinson was surprised by his release. I sense a little bit of bad blood even if he says there is none. He'll look forward to playing the 49ers, and him noting that he never practiced running back that much... I just wonder. (SacBee.com)

Nate Davis made the roster and is now the third string quarterback. I guess I'm alright with that. (NFL.com)

Alex Boone is happy to be on the final roster. I'm glad for him. (49ers.com)

Watching the Chargers game "again"

It’s actually the first my eyes have seen it as I “watched” it with you guys by following it on ESPN GameCast. And I’m loving me some Dixon. Yes he dances a bit at times but he’s got some rather Gore-ey looking abilities.

was just thinking that

he still looks a little raw but one can see that he’s already starting to absorb advice from the veterans and coaches to trust his blocking and punch the hole. It wouldn’t be surprising if he is #2 RB by the end of the year and a long-term (i.e. post-Gore) option for the Niners at RB.

Wow

Disappointed by the departure of MRob.

I think even people who believe it was a good move are disappointed a bit too. He was a good guy.

Gil Brandt noted something I feel important

Every division has 2 or 3 teams that have a chance of winning the division. If we look at the AFC North it’s at this time a toss up as to if PIT or BAL or CIN win the division. Even the AFC East and NFC East it’s a toss up. We could go thru a lot of divisions, including ours and see that similarly.
