49ers Sign Eight To Practice Squad

PrintApologies for being a little late to this, and thanks to those of you who put up fanposts and fanshots on the matter, but we need some front page love for this. The team made their roster cuts early and have certainly wasted no time signing players to their practice squad as soon as they possibly could. Right now, the eight man squad looks as such:
QB Jarret Brown
FB Jehuu Caulcrick
LB Bruce Davis
WR Kevin Jurovich
OT Matt Kopa
LB Keaton Kristick
S Chris Maragos
DT Will Tukuafu
I like this practice squad a lot. Jehuu Caulcrick played really well at fullback this preseason and I wouldn't mind him being the starter at some point. Bruce Davis came on really strong and gives us even more insurance at the outside linebacker spot. Jurovich is a local guy who will let Crabtree be lazy in practice. Alright, that last one was probably mean, but whatever. Chris Maragos is a guy who I really like as far as his potential goes. Same with Tukuafu, who got the nod over Khalif Mitchell, but I'm OK with it.
The 49ers shuffled their practice squad around a lot last year. I don't think this lineup is finality at this point, but then again, I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

I know.
Because Seattle didn’t make a reputation of taking all our rejects this season right? Still, hate to see MRob on the Seachickens. Coach Sing better have a pretty damn good explanation on why MRob wasn’t good enough for us.

At least he’s not likely to make a difference in week 1, especially on offense. It’s also likely that Seattle will be receiving more KOs than punts this season so they really need a blocker for the return man.
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
He'll suit up week 1

SIng is the Head Coach, that gives him all the reasons he needs.
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, either way, YOU'RE RIGHT !"
Doesn't mean it wasn't a bad decision.

I think there were others who were also good at ST and had a good chance to help in the Offense and Defense.
Too many good bodies on the team this year to keep someone who does not play more than just ST.
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, either way, YOU'RE RIGHT !"
Show me one guy who was good on special teams, even close to being pro bowl status. Mays and Bowman are the only real arguments, and you don’t want to repair your special teams every single year, because we all know they won’t play on the unit next year.
McKillop is hurt. Robinson is gone. Our two gunner on PR, Hill and Paymah are gone. Our double team guys on kickoffs are gone. Curtis Taylor has been sub par on special teams. Brit Miller was the backup to McKillop and is gone. Really struggling to see how we have anything but “bad,” to “alright,” coverage this year when in past years we’ve been in “really good,” territory.

Yep we will I suppose
you don’t want to repair your special teams every single year
even more so you don’t want your 2nd and 3rd rounder playing special teams. It’s a worry not a huge worry. There are no huge worries with this team or it’s PS. But it is something to think about.

Adams
He is a CB he should be able to tackle. Honestly Palomalu plays ST so I don’t see why it is such a big deal to let our 2nd and 3rd rounders play
This is a guy I like on the unit.
But he did look spotty on the coverage units. He CAN be good there but he hasn’t yet. He missed a few tackles.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

Good points James. I also have concerns but I was mostly commenting on why Sing would let Robinson, and yes, even Miller go.
They must really like others who are playing ST this year.
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, either way, YOU'RE RIGHT !"
Concerns are valid, but I think you're overreacting
The Niners did lose a couple of valuable special teamers but most special teams units are made up of back-ups and rookies. There are some good athletes joining the team this year and Singletary has made comments that suggests he is very aware of maintaining a good special teams unit.
I think it’s worth being aware of what players are being kept around for special teams value, but to act like you can know that the unit can’t be better than “all right” because a couple of good special teamers got let go doesn’t seem accurate. I mean McKillop was a late round pick last year and immediately became one of our best special teams players. I’d cut a little more slack for the Niner’s coaches personally.

Most still have that one guy who puts them over the top.
And we didn’t just lose a guy who was a “good” special teamer. He was great. I’m not saying doom for the unit, but there is definite cause for concern. Considering we are without some of our best, not just a couple “good,” players.
All I’m saying is over the years we’ve had strong play from special teams. Aside from returners, of course. We’ve had strong special teams coverage and that’s helped out our defense. I think we’re taking that a bit for granted now, and we’re in for a rude awakening if it comes back to bite us, which is a possibility that I’m only exploring, not condemning us to.
Again – hope I’m very wrong.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

I agree that special teams shouldn't be ignored
I just think that solid contributors are more easily replaced on special teams units. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if someone like Taylor Mays or NaVorro Bowman were just as effective as Michael Robinson. I am a little nervous but personally I think that the coaches have a much better understanding of player’s special teams value than I do, and at this point I’m willing to trust that the team thinks the players on hand can do the job.
I feel like coverage units are a pretty fluid area of a football team and that trusting in young unproven players isn’t a bad idea, even for a team with plans on contending.
Mays and Bowman is a bad argument though. We shouldn’t want our 2nd and 3rd round picks being our special teams studs, and we shouldn’t want to have to repair the position every single year because we know they won’t play special teams next year.
Like I said, it’s just something I feel that we take a little for granted. I just feel the dropoff will be bigger than some of the rest of you.

The Steelers have been horrible in STs for some time now (probably why they made Polamalu play ST).

Yea, I think we just have a different opinion on special teams value
I guess I just feel like special teams units are generally rebuilt every year on principle. I think every team kind of has to patch it together on the fly based on the personnel on hand. Maybe I’m trusting too much on the sound bites Singletary has made in the off-season representing that Schottenheimer would be a major factor in determining the final cuts from the roster. I have to admit I generally agree with you that a player’s special teams ability is generally overlooked in most fan’s assessment of the roster but I feel like it is very difficult to project special teams performance.
We’ll see if the Niners have taken player’s special teams skills for granted, but at this point I just don’t think that there is enough evidence to suggest that that is the case.
Special Teams value
special teams cost at least two games, maybe three last year and kept us from the play offs.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
Bull.
Our coverage team at worst will be awful. We can’t assume that we’ll even be average because nobody there is proven.
We can assume our tight ends will be good because they’re proven. We can assume our offensive linemen rookies will be good because they’ve showed a lot of good stuff in the preseason. We can’t assume anything about ST because it’s looked less-than-stellar, the guys who made the plays are gone.

This is truth

Only three?
vomits a bit in my mouth when I say this …but Jimmy Johnson had a good point that a few yards one way or the other can make a big difference. I love having Ginn and Williams and Adams at receiever and you have to love (as always) Lee and Nedney but without some guys to make some blocks to give a guy open and some guys to shut down the other team, you’re going to have a much bigger field and that does not work well with Smith as our QB. Think 2001 Patriots.
by ChesapeakeBay9er on Sep 5, 2010 4:25 PM PDT up reply actions
As an example of this
The Rams have some pretty exciting return men in Amendola and Gilyard—but their coverage sucks, giving up 30 or 40 yards a return.
That coverage negates any good that happens from the return game.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
Gives up 30 to 40 yards a return
and that’s a big big difference. As all of us have said a number of times we are not being chicken little. We are not spelling doom. We’re just noting it will be much more difficult.

I don't think I made my point very clearly
I wasn’t trying to suggest that special teams in general aren’t very valuable, what I meant to say was that I think that pro-bowl quality special teamers are much more easily replaced than pro-bowl quality starters. Michael Robinson was a very good special teamer but I feel like even a mid-round pick could step right in and provide almost as much value. I guess I just don’t think it’s that hard to find a great coverage guy, but I could be wrong.
Which mid round pick is it going to be?

In case you forgot
We still have Andy Lee. That guy is arguably the best punter in the NFL. Kick offs should be interesting I wish Nedney had more in his legs so that the ball can be touchbacked every time.
A good punt can be negated by a bad set up and bad blocks
Doesn’t matter if he coffin kicks it if the ST lets the receiver thru of a bunch.

Its a lot easier to tackle if you have great punts
Honestly 1 person is not going to make that big of a difference if they were going to go the distance then probably M. Rob wouldn’t be able to stop it.
If one person was going to make a difference.
It would have been MRob, because he did. Commanded double teams, directed the coverages, made the tackles. Dude was a premier player at that position and, even if you don’t value ST as highly as I do, it’s pretty hard to argue with the fact that we did cut one of the league’s best at what he does, right?
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
He is one of the best ST
but isn’t depth more important than ST. Injuries happen all of them time and if a team can limit the drop off between the backup and the starters then thats great. While the backups are waiting they can throw themselves at each other in ST.
All gunners get doubled teamed...so I don't understad the comment.

Really that good
when was the last time M-Rob scored a TD on ST?
Haven’t see him do that well never it seems
VD is a good thing and nobody wants to catch Crabs this year
Yes one person is not going to make the difference
but on ST we have ..
A) Gotten rid of MRob..the captain of ST
B) Lost McKillop for the year – the guy we ostensibly figured to eventually replace him.
C) Cut Miller – The 3rd guy as far as ST.
Again this is not something that spells doom so much as it is somehting to keep an eye on during the season.

Run down and hit the guy with the ball. In my opinion ST is the least organized aspect of the game.

When I meant easy
I meant not as hard as the other positions. I may be thinking things for granted but ST IMO has a lot to do with natural athletic abilities and instinct then it has to organization.
ST is every bit as difficult
It’s not an unorganized mob of men running down the field after the football

You may be right.
But the coaches also assumed Arnaz Battle and Brandon Jones could be returners, look how that turned out.
So what is the explanation for not rostering a proven commodity like MRob (a two time Pro-Bowl alternate) and assume that a few unproven rookies and back-ups could take his place? It seems Special Teams is always the underestimated part of football (i’m also not insinuating that I know more then the coaches).

I don't have a clue as to the real reasons why SIng let some go and kept others.
But Schottenheimer must have made the other choices.
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, either way, YOU'RE RIGHT !"
Maybe, maybe not.
I’m not trying to be cynical here, but we all heard early on about Singletary clashing with coaches (like Mike Martz). I know Martz isn’t a great judge on all of this, but I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility that they brought in Kurt not just because he’s good, but because he won’t clash with the coach or question him. A lot of people felt like that’s why we signed Jimmy Raye.
Not something I for-sure believe in, but something I can definitely see.

He said the main reason he signed Raye
as his offensive coordinator was because 1. He won’t get a head coaching job and leave us Aka. Norv Turner, and 2. They have similar philosophies so there won’t be any arguing between the coaches.
Well yes.
But what he said and what was heavily speculated and widely believed at the time are two different things. Fact is, most viewed Raye as a pushover. That’s not to say that’s the only reason we signed him, but Singletary “does” clash.

I suppose, but there were some other guys...
who had the same philosophies who were, how you say, “more attractive.”
I’m just disinclined to take Singletary for his word at this point on those kinds of things. Great dude and I love him as our coach, but he coach speaks with the best of them.

I have never been hard him
I know he was never there to make an impact on offense even though I was pulling my hair out every time he did have to carry the ball during his time there. I don’t discredit anything he did on ST’s, but the way everyone is crying over his loss sounds like emotional ties to me. I’m sorry but as much as anyone may disagree ST players that are not return men are replaceable. You can call me all the names you want and tell me how wrong I am, but the truth still remains, his loss wont be noticed much and he will be forgotten.
I didn't call you anything.
I’m saying it has nothing at all to due to emotional ties. He was one of the league’s best special teamers who didn’t kick or return. He’ll be missed for that reason.

Ok so it might not be true for you, but perception is reality. For two days straight now people have continued to cry about the loss of MRob. Ok, I get it, what I said might not be fact, people might not actually be emotionally tied to Robinson. But as much as people talk about his loss being this huge blow when in fact it’s not, leads me to think otherwise, which is why I made the statement. Maybe I’m wrong, maybe all of our ST play just totally collapses and is just awful. Somehow, I don’t see that happening, slack will be picked up, and his presence wont be missed much.
“cry about the loss of MRob.”
Yeah, OK. What I see is people more than a little worried about one of the three important units on a football team. But alright. Let’s not question the team. Everything they do is right.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
To illustrate why M-Rob is so important
San Diego game, our punt returner (forget if it was Jurovich or Adams at this point) takes the ball back and coughs it up. M-Rob is johnny-on-the spot and scoops it up and gains an extra 5 yards or so.
That kind of heads up play is what we’re going to miss having on special teams.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
Obviously not
but my concern is that the guys we have to replace him aren’t going to be as good.
Maybe the coaches felt that we have young guys who have a bigger upside and can be coached better, maybe Schottenheimer didn’t want Everest’s guys on special teams.
Is a 20 or 30% drop off in talent enough to be noticed on coverage? Who knows.
Here’s the way I look at it—I equate M-Rob with being the center of the special teams units. Basically directing flow, being a leader, etc. In an offensive line if your center goes down it can be scary if you don’t have a guy that you feel can replace him.
There was lots of concern when Heitmann went down, but Baas has filled in nicely at center, with no discernable drop off. Maybe all of this is pointless handwringing on my part, but as this is the internet I reserve my right to wring away.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
to be honest, I'm more surprised at Brit Miller being let go
but isn’t Navarro Bowman a pretty solid looking ST guy?
Pam liked my old sig better.
Yeah Bowman's looking good
but I’m always worried when you have high round draft choices on special teams.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
Here's a fact for people ringing their hands about this.
There are at least 100 players in the NFL the same general size that could be better than MRob on ST. The difference is those guys have talent and thus aren’t relegated to playing special teams

Ok, I get it, what I said might not be fact, people might not actually be emotionally tied to Robinson.
You just contradicted yourself there. If people weren’t “emotionally attached” to MRob, there wouldn’t be crying over his loss. Which you accused people of doing.

No crushing blocks or tackles on ST. And as far as MRob he had a good pre season ST showing. He had the key block on Adams TD return. However I do think he will be forgotten

Given the choice between yes and no I chose no
I would liked to have had Miller there majorly for his ST ability not his FB ability. Would have like to have had Mitchell on there. Not sure how I feel about Topa honestly and not too sure we need Jurovich with our WR crew. I like Caulcrick but want Miller there as far as ST capabilities.

Jurovich showed good enough stuff as a WR but also as a KR/PR.
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, either way, YOU'RE RIGHT !"
I think it was more a case of him looking decent, being local, and being well liked.
They needed a WR body, and he’ll probably play random defensive snaps and the like in practice, as well.

Matt Kopa looked good in the preseason at tackle.
Dude is a mauler.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
His only problem was he was injured in college last year.
The kid does have talent. And next year when maybe Sims and Snyder are gone.. maybe not but if they are, then with Boone and Kopa, we could have a good backup for both Tackles. Kopa being on the PS means he will train with the team and get better. Now all we need is a top G and C to come in next year as backups.. unless they keep Baas.
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, either way, YOU'RE RIGHT !"
Agree with Eastbayjim on Juro
As for Mitchell, he was getting pushed around all preseason. Topa showed way more potential than him and was making plays, including a couple sacks. I understand how you feel with Miller, but as Sing made clear, his ST’s must be able to contribute in other areas, or show the ability to. I tend to agree with that when you have the depth for it, which this team does right now.
The thing about "Sing making that claer"
is that he didn’t until afterward. Beforehand, he claimed that there were spots solely for special teamers. On two separate occasions.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
James, I agree that it is a shock for Robinson to get cut but...
Trying to look at it from the coach’s points of view, This was the first year in a long time where they had to cut some good talent.
For me, looking at potential changes in 2011..
Safety, Lewis and Goldson could both be gone.. so keeping Taylor on the 53 and Maragos means they can work with them to be better in 2011.
Keeping both Briggs and LaBoy means that you don’t lose Briggs and then next year not have either.. Especially with Manny Lawson being a FA.
OL. Sims could be gone in 2011, same for Wragge and Baas and even Snyder. Keeping Boone on the 53 and Kopa on the PS gives the same security you have with the Safeties now. Let Solari and Brown work with both of them more this year.
Another thing is that Staley had a preseason injury to the same leg he hurt last year… having good, young, talented OLs is more important.
CB… With Clement’s salary, unless he restructures, he could be gone in 2011 and keeping Adams, who is also a good backup PR, is a good thing. He seems to have the talent to learn and grow into the position and is already pretty good. Brock also showed good talent at CB and after his showing in the last preseason, he could have been signed by another team.
Robinson, is not a good RB or FB so he was only for STs.. He was good, really good, but who of the others would you cut and lose to keep him?
Now, I enjoy your posts.. usually some really good things.. I put it to you, and Smileyman and others, can you guys figure out who will be the ST stars? Of course we could wait for a week or two and see…
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, either way, YOU'RE RIGHT !"
Robinson, is not a good RB or FB so he was only for STs.. He was good, really good, but who of the others would you cut and lose to keep him?
Tramaine Brock? He makes only one play that stands out in the last preseason game and that’s enough to get him onto the 53.

You have two FBs and no ILB. Keaton Kristick showed a lot during the preseason.

Yeah maybe I'm using P for Projectt rather than Practice
I want some guys on the PS that we can have as filli-ins. I’m a bit worried about our special team as far as the guys you you don’t often think about on it. I also have some worries about our DL ..not so much this year (ok a bit with Soap playing DE and the Franklin deal being only one year) and I’d gladly give up Evans for one of the guys above then put Mitchell on the team.
by ChesapeakeBay9er on Sep 5, 2010 2:15 PM PDT up reply actions
ILB can come from OLB or ??? in tight spot
After an injury – maybe 25 percent chance – they’d pick up someone. Surprise they didn’t keep 4 but must have felt it was a doable risk.
What?
We’re talking about the practice squad. We need one for the practice squad.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
Well how do you justify one for the practice squad if you can’t get one for the 53? 53 will be much more the priority than the practice squad.
It's not that we can't.
It’s that we didn’t. We just didn’t have a need for a fourth on the 53. But we need one to be in there for practice. You’re kind of arguing about things we’re not really discussing..
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
I think it's relevant
If you don’t have a guy who you think can make it on the team then why would he make it on the PS? PS is only 8 players, you put players there who you think can contribute in a pinch. There is already 2 LB’s on the PS, how many do you need? Guys on the PS don’t play their natural position half the time anyway. And they do need a 4th ILB and I think when it’s addressed it will be for the 53.
It's not a matter of a guy playing and being ready to play.
The practice squad isn’t just to cultivate talent, I’ll say it again. We NEED another body for practice. Spikes doesn’t practice all the time, Willis will sit out a lot of them. A fourth one is crucial just from a numbers standpoint. We’re not talking talent, we’re not talking anything but needing another inside-specific linebacker.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
Willis will sit out some, not a lot. Sorry, mistake.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
Right
And my point is that we need that specific ILB on the 53, not the PS. We have two LB on PS who can play inside or out on the scout team.
I don't see why we figure we need a LB on the 53.
Even then, we’d STILL need one on the PS. The team signed Wilhelm off the street last year. They can do it again if they need to this year, and Bowman can back up both spots. It’s still something that can happen, which I totally agree with you on, but it’s not a pressing need.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
I think the point is more, can Bowman back up both ILB spots?
If he can then having a good ILB on the PS is ok.. if he can’t then they will need to get one for the 53.. It will be interesting to see which way they go.
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, either way, YOU'RE RIGHT !"
Of course he can.
He can play TED, and he is a natural MIKE. So that’s both.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

Jarret Brown seems closer to becoming Arnaz Battle than a QB
I’m 90% confident he was kept around for athleticism and nothing for what he did at QB. Actually the kind of guy you want on PS because he can simulate another teams superb athlete.
Yeah, he'll be playing a lot of defensive back.

Founder of team Omté Caspeen
So you're putting out (quite possible)
that MRob said soemthing like I don’t want to play for the 9ers anymore if I can’t be an offensive player. And they said “Well look we love you on ST but we don’t see a place on offense” and he said “Then trade me” and they put out feelers and got no one? That’s a possibliity and interesting.

I think it's inherently less likely than Sinelgetary just devaluing special teams.

And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
Why do you consider it unlikely? Honsestly
He’s a baller that wants a chance on offense. He’s tired of being the backbone to a degree, of the ST unit. And wants to see if he can make it on another team. He can’t so he has put himself out there and said “put me on offense or trade me” it fails so there is a rift a very unfortunate rift but a rift nonetheless.
by ChesapeakeBay9er on Sep 5, 2010 3:37 PM PDT up reply actions
I don’t think that he’s tired of being that backbone, though. I think there’s nothing in his language, his attitude or his past to suggest that he would be tired of his position. He’s always relished the opportunity to lead that unit, and from what I understand, loved it here.
The other reason I think that is because how surprised he was when he was cut. Not just that he was cut, but that he was gone. He legitimately did not see it coming, which I think is the most telling as far as whether or not he wanted out.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

Robinson was cut for an example
To elaborate when you have players like Nate Davis who believe they are safe because he was the coaches pick Sing wanted to show him something. The message everyone can be expendable no matter how liked you are if you don’t develop your game to level that we need and or want your gone.
Make an example of one the better players at his position in the league.
Great idea. Sorry, but MRob would be safe on most rosters in the league. If you want to make an example of someone, cut Curtis Taylor a year after drafting him for not coming on as strong as we’d like. Dude looked sub-par on special teams and won’t ever crack the starting lineup.

Umm...one problem I see with that..ok maybe a few
I thought early on that Dixon was a “do it or lose it” not to Coffee and that is the way it ended up. But he wasn’t a captain on the team. And I think that would not be a good sign by Sing. Just doesn’t make sense to put the ST at danger to point out something to a possible possible QB.

Come on guys, get serious!
Sing is NOT going to hurt his team for the sake of making an example of anyone. That’s just plain stupid. I sincerely believe that his only motivation is to put the players that contribute the most on the FIELD. Robinson was good in the locker room, but honestly, except for special teams, he didn’t contribute much.

Agreed on the point of not going to cut off your nose to spite your face
and that’s what has been noted. Why would you take a guy who did very good for you on Special Teams (admittedly not an offensive threat) just to show a possible could maybe end up being kinda ok QB? I like Davis but he is a very very big project. I’d even say more so than Webb on the Vikes. But yes there was probably none of that. Possibly a bit of talking with FO and MRob and he thought it would turn the other way but that is shallow as well.

True
But it doesn’t make the same kind of statement as cutting M-Rob. I was a huge fan of his and I personally believe all this versatility business is crap but Sing has not let me down yet. So I have to trust in him he did after all turn Vernon into a stand up guy and a hell of a player.

That was his title. Honestly, I’ve never figured out how to determine the best fullback in the league. I think every team just makes that blanket claim. I have to think back to Tom Rathman to remember a game dominated by a fullback.
Tony is definitely not the kind of threat that Rathman was
but he makes great blocks, great reads, and really opens things up for the running back. Tony is a pretty good short yardage back when he needs to be, but he is more known for his blocking.
If Gore wants that lead blocker, Tony would be a huge upgrade. He also had Jimmy Raye as an OC in KC, so he may be able to pick up the offense pretty quickly.

Hybrid safety corners are exactly what you want on the PS.
Not the active roster, but definitely on the PS. Remember that it’s not just a place to cultivate talent, but also to play other positions in practice. Maragos is NOT a hybrid safety/corner, he is just able to mimic a corner if need be.

We're not keeping Goldson?
When did that happen…IT NEVER DID!!!!!!

Goldson wants the Moon and three stars in the Orion cluster...
He may not settle for what the 49ers offer… of course if he does really well this year.. he would probably go ahead and sign with another team for that and more.
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, either way, YOU'RE RIGHT !"
Probably because they kept 6 on the roster....
One may go to the PS if they find a MLB they like

I voted no simply because Khalif Mitchell isn't on the PS
I thought he had a good chance to make the 53-man. I’m a bit shocked that he didn’t even make the ’Squad.
I may hate your timing, but I can't hate your reason for leaving. Vaya con Dios, Glen Coffee.
Yeah I hate to see it, because we made him the player he is.
Obviously he had talent, but we took him, said “Look, this is where you’d do best. Do this, when this happens – do this,” etc for a season or two and now he’s reader to potentially do well somewhere else.

I was surprised to see Mitchell go
but in all honesty, do you really think you will see him starting for another team in the future? He might have been better than some of the players we kept at the back end of our roster but I have a hard time believing that Khalif Mitchell will ever really make much of an impact in the NFL.
Nope, never said that.

Didn't mean to put words in your mouth
I was just aiming for a little perspective. I don’t think anyone could “hate to see” Mitchell go because the overwhelming probability is that he will never be an impact player in the NFL. I just don’t see any reason to be concerned about losing him.
"Do well somewhere else," in his case...
…would be being a decent backup among all positions of a defensive line. More so than say, Demetric Evans.

More upside, to be sure, is all I meant
Demetric Evans has been literally invisible, while Mitchell showed a vast amount of improvement this offseason.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
I guess we just have differing opinions on Mitchell's upside
Mitchell has definitely improved but I am not convinced he can get that much better. In my opinion Evans has proved through his career that he can be a serviceable rotation player, Mitchell hasn’t proved anything yet. I feel like a team that has hopes of reaching the post-season shouldn’t worry about keeping unproven players who might one day be a decent back-up when you have a workable rotation player already on hand.
Well, we were mostly talking to having him on the PS.
Not the active 53-man roster.

I mean if you make predictions on the future
Do you think Mitchell is going to make a bigger impact on the NFL than Tukuafu?
But are you saying it's an either?
I’m saying keep both. Put Tuk or Mitch in place of Evans if need be. Anything to get rid of Evans and get Mitchell on. Ok that’s hyperbole to a degree but not far from it.

I just don't see a reason to do it
I think Mitchell can only dream of having a football career as successful as Demetric Evans.
Well then two diferring perspectives.
My take on it is that I’d toss Evans to get MRob or even Mitchell or anyone. Don’t have much faith in him. I hope he shows me up and makes something of himself this year but I don’t see it.
by ChesapeakeBay9er on Sep 5, 2010 5:38 PM PDT up reply actions
No ofense to Khalif Mitchell or MRob
but I don’t think you’ll here either of their names ever again. They’re better at football than 95% of people in the world but as a Niner fan I don’t think they will do anything of note ever in the NFL.
Quite possibly...
still don’t like Evans though. And I think if things were looked at the value of MRob to this team over both’s tenure was more than Evans. But yes we are all of us nitpicking.

I swear to god Adams better be a damn hall of famer
or I will never stop beating that dead horse.
Just wait, we’ll probably have a chance to take Shane Vereen next year but will pass on him for some dude from Youngstown State.
STOP SKIPPING OVER CAL BEARS.
Pam liked my old sig better.
I don't think people said Mitchell > Tukuafu
I think people were saying both because we only have six DL on the active, and Evans isn’t very good and Ray McDonald is injury prone.

And Ray McD is also
drinking and driving prone.

My issue is with people thinking Mitchell > Evans
I tend to think that fans over value mediocre young players who have no future in the NFL. I think that people love a mediocre rookie with a 1% chance of being a starter than a decent veteran who has already proven to be a worthwhile back up.
Nobody is really.. like, for sure saying that.
It’s just that Evans is invisible. He doesn’t inspire any confidence. Mitchell has that “home grown,” feel to him, which is why most people are sentimental about him going. It was just a great step forward for him and then he was cut. I mean, it was necessary, it’s just easy to be a little sentimental about it and think for a bit that he might be able to be good someday.

Maybe we're opposite sides of the same coin
I just feel like people were more in favor of the idea of Khalif Mitchell than the actual player.
Hey ninj do you see i can't believe i forgot his name
are safety lol played 4 the eagles lol damm i forgot his name(as i put out my doobie)do you see him losing his starting position if he starts off rough cuzz im not 2 sold on him vet or no vet he gets burned sometimes n i really want 2 see how curtis or reggie would look out there even mays ?
by 49er_diva_recieva's on Sep 5, 2010 6:57 PM PDT up reply actions
I don't think he'll technically "lose his job,"
but he’ll give way to Reggie Smith and Taylor Mays more and more as the season goes on. He’s a good veteran, and when we play him right, he does ti very well.

Yea he's solid espcially on run support i just
want more in the back field more plays like he made against ’’chikcago’’im just talking you just don’t know how excited about are team including alex,i like that sports media is caught up with dallas,green bay,new orleans n they deserve it even minnesota although i really feel that favre will end that starting all those games something is telling me he’s headed 4 a injury.But im just pumped because i wnt thru the whole off-season with ya’ll under a different name (jaydubb415)i had my issues with front office lol so this season means even more cuzz i remeber us having 4 or 5 months away.where here n where bleeping ready GO NINERS

No
but solid depth on the defensive line is not a bad thing to have. I don’t feel comfortable with Demetric Evans as a backup.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
It would be sensible for the coaches to choose the younger guy who may have more upside over the vet in this instance when both appear to the fan eye to be about the same. My guess is that when watching film Evans makes fewer mistakes. Important for us to remember that the DL in this scheme aren’t meant to make plays as much as set up the LBs to make plays. Maybe Mitchell didn’t do that very well.
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
I would really like if RJF took that spot from ''sopaga''don't get me wrong he does
his part but he’s not a ’’Disruptive’’force out there n im not jumping on this RJF-train cuzz of how he looked in pre-season i watch him at LSU if he came out his junior year he could of been a late 1st rdr or early 2nd,but he stayed a extra season n he paid 4 it got hurt n neve played healthty if he plays next 2 aubryo this season those 2 will dominate the line TRUST ME.

Yeah, I want RJF to take some more snaps this year.
I don’t want to crown him the starter yet, but if we see him make an impact in a game…

Yea take our time work him in there,do you think ''adams'' will be our ST PR in KOR

Williams will be our punt returner once he is healthy.
While he’s not healthy, it will either be Ginn or Adams, probably Adams.

He had a bad game against the Chargers
I can’t say I like Turkuafu but his timing for playing well was excellent.
I'm just glad to see that I was right about not needing Robinson.
Yeah, he was the ST team captain, but what is that title anyways. I just think it’s a feel good title. ST captain is not being a Team Captain. He was basicaly useless on Offense. You guys talk about how great McKillop was on ST last year, well, he was a rookie last year, so why can’t another rookie do just as well. His release aloowed us to keep an extra O-lineman, and they are harder to find than a guy that can play special teams.
Think they took there chances
This way even if we get deep at ILB McKillop has a place on the team as the new M-Rob/Ublrich next year.
Your ''singing 2 the choir now''(its hip saying that means im right there with you brother lol)
im totally with you that ’’C’’on your chest has 2 mean more than you just captain you have 2 ’’produce’’n not on STs we didn’t bring him from penn st. 2 takle players how can you put these youngstes in check if your not bringing nothing 2 ’’’’table’’we have 2 get over this ‘’san francisco sentimental’‘fans so were sentimental 2 players whose been here 4 a minute n has a nice personality n will do what you ask.,thats cool in all but this is also a ’’buisiness’’n were here 2 win n sometimes players that weve grown feelings 4 have 2 leave.See nolan got into that BS with the battles,robinsons,even bryant young at the end of his career(lol im going 2 catch flack 4 putting BY with them)okay not bryant young he played well at the end.Do you know what i like about this year (even though i had 2 part with my direct-tv NFL package 5yrs it was either that or no cable at all n with my 60’incher with HD n HD tivo shit gets expansive$ )what i do like is that were not waisting no time we sign our players we cut our players were doing everytrhing quik n when you work like that it puts our players at ease aint know BS n other than the ’’coffee’’incident which turned out super well ’’Dixon’’is a beast ,we took care of our buisiness this year,now i have 2 find a website that shows niners games online n one that not exspensive $$ maybe even free anybody knows 1 ???

Robinson will be missed until...
1 or 2 other guys on special teams step up. And I think someone will, because while ability counts on ST a lot, motivation can make a HUGE difference, and Singletary is a superb motivator. I agree that MRob was a helluva gunner, but I like that 3 out of 4 of our running backs are now offensive contributors.
On that note, I would easily dump Moran Norris for Richardson or Schmitt. Not sure why we haven’t done it yet? Maybe Norris does something really special that we all collectively cannot see (sarcasm), but he appears to be pretty lousy, with better options out there for the taking.

Norris
Yes he does do something really special: Gore wants him here, we wanna keep gore happy..so therefore he keeps gore happy. Just remember Gore’s best season was behind Norris. Now i know last year was different, but its was also Norris’ first year under Jimmy Raye. I think we see more of the Dynamic Duo this year…
Founder of team Omté Caspeen
While you make fair points...
Your argument is somewhat compromised by the fact that you’re supporting Moran Norris.
Not saying Gore would have had that season without some help, but I think he did it with a pretty average fullback in Norris, and would have been even more amazing that year with, say, Lorenzo Neal…
But yes. He does keep our second most important player happy.
