Yeah, Runyan, Jones and Canty all look like they could be very late additions that could play a nice role.
Runyan though is just nasty, and I like that.

Well our best bet is for Adam Snyder to stay healthy and hopefully Alex Boone has a strong game tonight. From what I have heard Runyan only wants to play for a team close to his home in Southern, NJ.

This sucks, instead of just having to worry about going Qb and pass rush in the 1st round next year, now we have to think about going ROT.

hopefully we pass rush isn't an issue and we can grab a QB and a RT in the draft

Nah we don't need to grab an RT with one of our 1st round picks, we could do that in the 2nd or 3rd, which should still have a lot of talent. Or we could again go the stop gap route and pick up one or two in free agency. Who knows Snyder and/or Boone may step up this year.

First cuts are coming up after this preseason game and then the cut to the final 53 comes a week later. If this is official, there will be other options to choose from soon enough. Is that the ideal situation? Of course not, but it will have to suffice.

I can't say this is a surprise. Great big offensive linemen with back problems don't typically suddenly get better, but I guess it was worth a shot. I sure hope Snyder can stay healthy.

You all recognize this... but saying it anyways, Joe Staley and Adam Snyder now become the two most important men on the whole team who HAVE to stay healthy or weez in BIG, Big trouble!

wow this would be the worst off season ever he was our big signing and Crabtree hasn't signed
Brandon Jones will be the biggest signing

this still could be the worst off-season ever.
We are the same exact team as last year. No changes have been made, no value has been added (maybe besides Glen Coffee). Can't wait for kickoff!
It is odd that the names haven't changed. But the Niners are not the exact team. On the OL, when Warhop left, Staley returned to techniques that succeeded in college. He had a better second half. Rachal became starter at RG, improving that position. If we are to trust Singletary, Snyder too has improved. Realize than in Marvel's retirement, there's been no talk about his back. Perhaps he's retiring because he didn't win the starting job from Snyder.

Smith was never healthy enough to play so it isn't like he was a factor in the competition against Snyder. I agree though if Staley and Snyder go down, here comes the first pick in the '10 draft and Sam Bradford.
