Posted November 20, 2008 at 11:56 am

Hill will be going up against a Dallas defense that ranks seventh in the NFL in pass defense (188 yards per game) and did a good job against the Redskins’ Jason Campbell last Sunday. Outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware (55 tackles, 11 sacks) and lineman Jay Ratliff (31 tackles, 6 sacks) accounted for three sacks of Campbell in the game, while cornerback Terence Newman (16 tackles, …

Mike Singletary talks 49ers LB Ahmad Brooks (Niners Nation)

Posted October 29, 2008 at 2:36 pm

Ahmad Brooks has been sitting on the 49ers roster since August 31 and has been inactive in every game so far.  He is supposed to have solid talent but the primary excuse was learning the defense and finding a spot.  He’s apparently been moved around from backing up at the Mike to backing up at the Ted.  Now there’s even …

Seahawks 34 - 49ers 13: Thank God for the bye week (Niners Nation)

Posted October 26, 2008 at 4:15 pm

Before the last half of the fourth quarter, I was prepared to write all about the badass attitude Mike Singletary is clearly bringing to the table.  Kicking Vernon Davis off the field and benching J.T. O’Sullivan are two very clear signs these are not your Nolan Niners anymore.  We’ll get back to that, but we must address something quite distressing.
I’d say our defense sucks, but …

Game 7 Recap: 49ers lose 17-29 after self-inflicted wounds (49ers)

Posted October 19, 2008 at 3:30 pm

No, Mike Nolan did not throw the red flag to challenge the coin toss, and did not yell at Manny Lawson for the same crime Tully Banta Cain was guilty of a week ago (offsides penalty). But that did not save Nolan from registering his – now get this

Patriots don’t look so imposing without Brady (INSTANT 49ers)

Posted October 4, 2008 at 5:02 pm

When the schedule came out, you could mark this one down as a 49ers loss. Now, things look a lot different. The Patriots aren’t nearly as imposing without QB Tom Brady.The Patriots owned one of the great offenses we’ve ever seen last season. This year, New England’s offense ranks 28th in total yards. The Pats have managed just four touchdowns in three games.OK, here’s the …

We’re a day away from yet another big game for the 49ers.  The team is 2-2 and as with any early .500 team, there is cause of optimism and cause for pessimism.  I remain optimistic, although the offensive line is not giving me a lot of reason to.
Heading into tomorrow’s game I’m not sure how to …

Reflective TBC to make season debut against Pats (INSTANT 49ers)

Posted October 3, 2008 at 2:25 pm

Pass-rusher Tully Banta-Cain was among the last 49ers to leave the locker room Sunday in New Orleans. That’s unique because Banta-Cain did not even suit up for the game.He said he was in no hurry to go anywhere, and he wanted to buy a little time for his iPod and laptop to fully charge for the trip home. But he also said he’s been doing …
