For those who say TJ sucked last year obviously did not watch the game. I live here in bmore and he didn't suck. He wanted the ball more which lead to some complaints but for me, I don't have a problem with that. The problem with the ravens and him was his game is similar to Bolden and Mason so they wanted to add wr's to stretch the field (thus the drafting of T. Smith and the trade for L. Evans) and open up the middle for Bolden. TJ will be a fine replacement for Morgan.

Rather have T.O. I think he would buy into and respect Jim and his system, and at this point in his career T.O. is much more mature. Think about it... Braylon, Crabs, T.O., Vernon, D-Love, and Morgan?!
T.O. apparently took a fistful of pills and went to the the E.R. yesterday. Cops were called and the whole nine....so no thanks.
Housh if he has an gas left might be ideal. You may have to bring up a Practice squad guy for this week to get through the Lions game, but after our week off we could come back with Crabs and Braylon on the outside and Housh in the slot. As far as big bodies that can wall off a corner and move the chains you could do a whole lot worse. Housh has plenty good hands and the route running intelligence to get the job done.

here to eat my crow.
Seriously thought it wasn't even going to be a thought to just bring Z in. I wouldn't hate T.J. ... reliable 3rd down receivers are invaluable.

Next man up, if you go in a straight line, is Hastings. He beat out Zeigler, Long, Jurovich, etc for a PS spot. He has been practcing week-in and week-out with this squad, attending meetings, and absorbing the coaching philosophy. Hastings isn't as well known to fans, as some other names, but obviously, the coaches value him over some of the other names being mentioned.
It seems to me that much depends on what the club really believes about Edwards availability forn Game 7. His availability for that game, or for succeeding games, does not seem like a sure thing to me. If the club ius confident about Edwards return on the proposed schedule, then a 1-game replacement by Hastings seems like a no-brainer. If Edwards looks to be out longer, that might slant things more toward Reuland.
TJH needs to go back to the couch. No way that this guy (or any outsider) can be ready to go full-bore in the Niner scheme within the next 36 hours. Major contribution of this #4 WR player is (1) practice body to fill out the offense reps, (2) injury insurance for the Detroit game, (3) ability to block and avoid penalties if pressed into action in Game 6.
Feels like Hastings, as I see it..

Lots of good points here, Bagg... One picky thing though... Ziggy wasn't eligible for the practice squad this year so the Niners had to make a tough decision on him, a decision that was made easier by the fact that he still hadn't fully recovered from ACL surgery last year.
Even now, I doubt he is fully healthy because the team didn't even invite him in for a tryout, although that might have something to do with the fact that he only weighs 185 lbs. and the guy he would replace weighs 220 and is a proven blocker.

was he terrible in seattle? i believe he had more yardage in that year that any of our wr's and also vernon davis during his career year, i'm not going to bat for housh but to say he was terrible is a stretch. i mean if houshs stats in seattle in 09 were terrible, what does that make morgans stats every year of his career?
Stats, as we all know, can be misleading. I know that if one goes purely by the numbers Housh was pretty solid in Seattle but when Pete Carroll was brought in the next season, Housh was cut in training camp and the behind-the-scenes word was that he wasn't too cool in the locker room. That may have been more because of the re-emergence of WR Mike Williams but who knows what the truth is?
I'm sure that Harbaugh talked to his brother in Baltimore to ask about Housh before even bringing him in for a tryout so that at least bodes well.
My sense of Housh at this point is that is he still very physical but can't create much separation because of a lack of quickness and speed. However, he can still block and because of his experience, snatch a few balls away from young CBs who don't know the tricks of the trade yet. Think Jerry in his last years with the Niners. He also knows the WCO... I heard him interviewed several times because I live in the Seattle area now. Very bright guy. Probably a good stop-gap measure for a few weeks until the team can figure out a longer term solution at that position.
Cheers!
