The 49ers selected AJ Jenkins with their 1st round pick. Hopefully with the 2 other WR additions this off season, the offense should be much stronger! that was their major weakness offensively last year. Hopefully we now have some play makers as wide out that will compliment Vernon Davis, and give Alex Smith a few more weapons.

Jets drafted all the right players.....FOR THE OPTION OFFENSE (Tebow)

All the offensive players we drafted came from an option offense.........

Tragic!

RIP Junior

Junior Seau's public persona never gave any indication he might commit suicide. He always seemed so upbeat.

RIP

The Pre Season has started!

The game yesterday was boring (as most Pre Season games are), but I think it was also the end of the Kolb era in Arizona. He was absolutely terrible. A starting QB at least needs to show that he is improving. His first pass was an interception. It was such an obvious one as well. Anyone who can read a defense should have seen it. I could tell before the ball even left his hand.

3 series later he was injured and Skelton played much better than him. I think Skelton will be the starter from here on out.

In other news:

Condolences to Andy Reid and his family. His oldest son was found dead in his dorm room at Eagles Training Camp.

The Jets locker room troubles are not over. They are just not working as a team together, as is evident by the practice field brawl between Joe McKnight and D'Anton Lynn. I mean come on, McKnight through a ball in Lynns face. They are acting more like Children than Football players.

T. Owens might be signing with Seattle.

Browns QB McCoy is demoted to 2nd String and Wheeden is promoted to Starting QB.

Thank you, thank you.

They had a good off-season, signed everybody they needed to, and at least had a few weeks of practice so far. As long as Vick stays healthy, we should be in the hunt.

Oops I meant the Kindergarten Jets...

 

[B-17engineer]

Sanchez and Tebow don't look half bad, albeit its preseason but still....

 

[Njaco]

He left the game today with a hurt hand...

Yeah and all the pundits around here are calling him fragile. Ummmm, you hit your hand on a helmet like that and see if you wince! 3rd string QB looked good.

 

[Messy1]

Oops I meant the Kindergarten Jets...

Oh no! Here we go again! New season, new shots!!

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Always...

Naw I will leave the Jets alone this season. I really dint have much against them. Judt the coach.

and the fans!

Well the Niner's looked very very good last night. Yeah its just preseason and all, and you can't put much weight into. Still they rushed for 260 yards (200 of them in the first half). Defense looked good. A. Smith looked very comfortable and confident (only played a series but he went 3-3 and a TD). Kaepernick also looked pretty good. He had some very nice passes and ran for a nice 74 yard TD.

I think things are coming together for the 49ers.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Didn't take long for Chad Johnson to become another distraction to his new team. He was arrested now for a domestic violence charge.

 

[Messy1]

Agree Chris. I know a team can change from season to season, not to mention week to week. I do have high expectations this year, and have high hopes for a respectable passing game!

Time to see if my boys can climb from the pit of hell ...
