While I've been critical of some of the moves regarding special teams, I still am feeling really good about the upcoming season and wanted everyone to know it's just a nagging worry. I figured I would be best suited to make the title of this iteration of the Nuggets "don't panic," written in large, friendly letters. Some scientists theorize that if more people were ever greeted with the words "don't panic," while in a situation that would usually call for it, there would be a lot less ... well, panicking. That being said, I think it's important that we call to question some of these things. We can't just blindly assume that everything Singletary does is great. Still, I feel great about this team going forward. Let's hope special teams is at least average this year, and we should be good. Enjoy your links.
The team signed eight to their practice squad. I'm generally alright with the way it looks. (49ers.com)

Revenge Of The Birds (Cardinals)
They took a quick look at their offensive line and whether or not it's set for success in the coming season. I'm going to say it's ... not. They also had their bird droppings for the day. Yeah.
Turf Show Times (Rams)
Not a whole lot going on there, just — as you could guess — filling out the practice squad.
Field Gulls (Seahawks)
It's hard to tell what went down with the Seahawks yesterday. Right about the time they made their sixtieth move yesterday, I lost track They had this fanshot tracking things, and then they had another one.

Just glanced thru Roto
Didn’t see much but here’s a few names to put into the “possible pot”
DE Marques Douglas was released by the Dolphins. Yes he’s old but what about a 1 year of him instead of Evans
or maybe Charles Grant who they also released.
DE Jarvis Green was released by the Broncos – Just tossing him ou there as a possible Evans replacement.
LB Tyrone McKenzie – He was released by the Pats. ST guy also plays ILB don’t know much about him. Tossing it out to see what others think
LB Eric Alexander – Released by Pats. More just a note of interest that that happened. But we are according to Coach Sing looking for another ILB and has ST skills.
DB Donovan Warren – Released by the Jets. Possible PS candiate for us?
LB Vincent Rey – Released by Bengals. Not really pushing him for the PS as much as I just found it interesting.
Was noted by a few that DB Myron Rolle was released by the Titans. Interesting thought at S on the PS. Would you take him over Maragos?
Just a few names to toss out for debate.

I wouldn’t hate seeing Douglas return to replace Evans. Douglas’ last season with San Francisco was pretty darn good. Sure it was a couple years ago now, but he knows the system and wouldn’t be a terrible reserve.
Not a big fan of any of the other guys on that list. Myron Rolle was cut for a reason, he can’t cover.

Got ya and thanks for the input.
Not a fan of Donavan Warren either? I wouldn’t mind seeing if he can go onto the PS and get better at his skills but that’s more of a guess than anything.

tyrone mckenzie sounds promising
but i’m just going by what you wrote about him, i don’t actually know who he is.
i would love to have donovan warren for the practice squad, but could they do that? i thought to take a player off the waiver wire or another team’s practice squad you had to give him a spot on your 53.
When life gives you fruit, add a bunch of sugar to it.
Ya I don't know much about McKenzie
I’m checking on Donovan to see if he was cut/released or waived. I think the waive means he’d have to go on the 53, but cut/released means he could go PS.
And we apparently have a slot open on the 53 with Nate Davis being waived.

By the way ...
… Matt Leinart just signed for Houston. Didn’t think it was worth posting a FanShot since it’s not Niners news. But figured some might not have seen it.

Interesting
Not much else to say about it than just that.

I miss
the “today on Niners Nation” part of the nuggets.. Any reason its not there anymore?

Sorry, they'll be up in the coming editions.
Fooch is on vacation at the moment and I’m crazy busy with some other things, so it’s hard to tell what will be up on the coming day, you know? Especially with roster cuts, etc, we can’t tell when news will break and the like. But I’ll be sure to get it done with the best of my ability.
Thanks for the input.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
Ok this may seem like a silly question at first LOL
But ..hmmm how to phrase it..you have a practice squad and it has Jarrett Brown on it. And he’ll be the guy asked to play the opposing QB in practices right? So could he actually end up getting more practice time than Nate Davis this year? Thinking I’m probably wrong in that and they will have Nate or David mimicking the opposing QB rather than Jarrett (which makes you think, when you have 3 QB’s there why do you need a “fourth” on your PS). But I just thought I’d throw that out there.

No, not likely.
They don’t generally simulate it with a QB all that much. They mimic receivers and defensive backs, mostly. Brown will see snaps as a defensive back, most likely.

Looking more like he'll get more reps now
Unless Davis gets picked back up and put on PS.
