Fair enough. It's just hatred for the Reds announcers and the whole Brenneman family is pretty wide spread amongst Cubs fans. That whole family has an irrational hated for the Cubs and constantly airs that hatred on the air through insults and the such. With your low post count I wasn't sure if you were a Reds fan posting this to try and incite a reaction which is what a troll is on a message board. Wasn't really calling you a troll, as I didn't know your intentions, but was curious.

OK, seriously are you a troll? Just seems a bit odd for someone to come in and say stuff about how good the Reds announcers are as their first order of business on the site. I'm not saying you are a troll but your posts just seem odd.

:rotfl: at saying the Reds announcers are good when calls don't go their way

OMC has seen him more, but McCluster is extremely agile and quick and appears to be a good receiver out of the backfield. Due to his size, I don't see him as a feature back but he can be a playmaker out of the backfield and split wide at WR. He doesn't have a ton of straight line speed, but once he gets the ball he's really hard to bring down. Tennessee had a very good defense last year and McCluster sliced us up for 324 total yards. He can be very similar, I think, to Reggie Bush. Supposedly they have said he is a WR. I would like to say they would get creative and use all kinds of motion bringing him into the backfield sometimes and keeping him split out wide but I believe Charlie is his OC I don't see him getting creative. Heh? Charlie Weis is absolutely nothing as an offensive coordinator if not creative. He runs a pretty standard pro style offense. He doesn't use gimmicks are stray from the normal stuff. He's creative in the sense that he will switch up from running a ton to passing a ton at any time. I, however, didn't see much in the way of being revolutionary and getting extremely creative to get one specific player the ball. I'm not sure he will change his ways to get a unique player like McCluster the ball in a variety of ways. He'll probably run some reverses but that is about it and that is a pretty typical way to get a WR like McCluster the ball. I don't see him having McCluster constantly in motion causing confusion for the defense and creating a lot of ways to get him the ball. If I was an OC I would love to use McCluster in motion a lot. Sometimes he starts split out and then moves to the backfield with the option of it still be a pass where he runs a route out of the backfield or a run with him getting the ball. Put him in motion split out and sometimes hike the ball early in a reverse sometimes have him settle in the backfield like I mentioned before. Sometimes have him start in the backfield and motion out wide and sometimes don't. The options are nearly limitless with a guy like McCluster but I just don't see Weis getting that creative. He may use him some as a RB but he will always start in the backfield. If he is only used as a WR then he will be just like any WR instead of the unique player that he is.

I would give the 49ers an A so far. Loved the first two picks yesterday, Mays fills a need and has the potential to be truly great and Navarro is a great pass rusher although he is supposedly not a great fit over all for 3-4. The only part I haven't like so far was giving up a 4th rd pick to move from 13 to 11 but we made up for that by moving from 79 to 91 and getting a 6th and 2011 4th in return.

Not sure if it was mentioned but I think this is the first game that all everyday players got a hit.

Taylor Mays on Carroll, Singletary and criticism during interview on KNBR - Not happy Seahawks passed him, is pretty pissed by Carroll blanking him but using it as motivation. - Looking forward to playing for Singletary and really likes our defense and mentioned Patrick Willis, Spikes and Goldson - Knows about people's criticism, he said, "It is what it is" and basically said he will prove them wrong. - Seattle is like a home game, he cant wait to play them and lay down the smack on all opponents this year

Typical Penn State LB. Good speed, athletic, good tackler, nose for the ball. He was at one point a borderline first rounder so that's good value here. Well he's going to have to fight for time. We have Manny Lawson and Parys Haralson as starters and are reportedly happy with both. We then have Ahmad Brooks who is a very good pass rusher brought in on passing situations and we just signed Travis LaBoy. How is Parys doing in San Francisco? He's a former Vol and I know he's been getting playing time, but wasn't sure how he was doing. I know it took him some time to contribute. He doesn't put up the stats but he impacts the game a lot. To be honest I think our whole LB core looks worse in the stats because of Patrick Willis. He does a really good job of creating havoc in the backfield and funneling the RB to where the team wants him to go and he gets good pressure on the QB.

Yeah that is pretty stupid.

Another pick I am very happy with. I don't know much about Navarro other than a lot of people thought he was a really good prospect that could have been a mid-2nd.

Eddie Royal is very similar to Welker. Good point. Yeah I was surprised how bad he did after his relatively good rookie season. I figured with McDaniels he would be even better but instead he dropped off a cliff.

Eddie Royal is very similar to Welker.

haha Cleveland having a pretty good draft

Mr. Wright

Looks like 49ers got one of the Chargers 6th rd picks for moving down 11 spots in this round. Was hoping it was a 5th but still a good trade. EDIT: Also got a 4th rd pick next year so it is a very good trade.

I'm OK with a lot of different guys here. Everson Griffth would be great though. I really didn't want a QB but McCoy has a lot of value here so I am OK with it. Also like Bruce Campbell but we really don't need him with the two OL we already took. And OK never mind we just traded out. Hopefully got a 4th or 5th back since we have no pick in those rounds.

Taylor Mays :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: He's who I wanted most coming into the day. We really needed a safety.

I think Andy imploded. In his universe this was impossible so he just collapsed into himself.

Was it worth the wait?

Whoever the 49ers take will have a good deal of luck on his side. He will be the 49th pick in the draft going to the 49ers. Destiny has to be with him.

Andy what will you do if Clausen goes here?

I am loving this live 49ers feed. Baalke, Jed York and the scouts were talking for 10 minutes while Singletary ignored them and watched the TV. Singletary eventually turned around and and got into with Jed. He did the shoulder shrug of "That's just the way it is." Someone then came in and said something to Singletary and he grabbed his stuff and got ready to leave (interview?). Before leaving he walked over to Jed and Baalke and was saying something that he was very adamant about. He kept pointing and what looked to me (no audio) as we SHOULD do this. I love me some Samurai.
