Good morning folks, good morning. It seems I'm the only person on Niners Nation who isn't a fan of the Ahmad Brooks signing or, more accurately, having Brooks and Aldon Smith as our starting outside linebackers, but that's fine. As I said before, the pair should be exciting, at the very least, and if we're entertained, than we're happy. I hope it translates to a dominating defense, but I worry about our run-stopping for the first time in ages with Parys Haralson out of the picture. That being said, I guess I was also bothered because I was thinking that the 49ers had bigger fish to fry than Brooks. But let's just get to your links for the day, shall we?
