The signing of Westbrook is huge. The multi-talented back wanted to play for the 9ers. It was his desire as he spurned the higher dollar offers of other teams. Lost in the excitement is the signing of Tukuafu. There is something about this guy...He is signed after Balmer bails and on his first play as a 9er does something Balmer never did in his two years here; sacks the quarterback. He looked damned fast. There have been some tremendous upgrades made in the past few days.
Alex Smith has the world if he wants it. I believe he is working to get beyond the "I hope I don't blow it" mentality Nolan put into him. To paraphrase Eleanor Roosevelt, he has to do more than he thought possible. It is certainly there for him.

Let's try to kill that song. Pro Football Weekly just said, "The 49ers were 9-7 in 2009 and look to compete for the playoffs in a weak NFC West, a more appealing option than one of Westbrook's other suitors, the Rams." I'm not even gonna argue that mistake!

i think carr will realize that turf tastes the same whether he's getting sacked behind the first team OL or the second team.

Carr is a second string because of his experience, nothing more... I think Nate, once acclimated with the offense, will take over that slot...

Signing Westbrook surprised me. Didn't think the front office had the balls/brains to do it.

It starts when you're always afraid. You step out of line, the man come and take you away.
