The Michael Crabtree Thread

2.5 weeks .. you are on crack if you think that is even remotely possible. I say middle of December before he plays. Maybe active for the s**thawks and play a few snaps just to get his feet wet.

he is going to begin practicing around the time some of the fans think he will be playing.

I like the ideas of starting him if hes ready against the rams, the superdomes turf and washingtons field might just be a little to risky.

Yes, one real game before the CAWKS... a nice warm-up.

I don't think there's anyway that you can expect Crabtree to start practicing until mid or late November and he likely won't be game ready until a few weeks after that and I expect his contribution initially to be very minimal. Best case scenario is that he can perform at a decent level by the time the playoffs come around, I don't think there's any reason to expect him to be 100% at anytime this season, playoffs or otherwise but a Crabtree at 75% is still better than pretty much any other receiver on this roster. Hopefully he'll be game ready for the Arizona game so he can make Patrick Peterson his b***h yet once more.

back to the superbowl!

Iupati has been getting blasted in the run game the last few weeks.

That boy hungry. He put in that work because he knows this is his contract year and we tend to extend dudes before free agency. He wants it and if he can make a comeback this year he looks good to not only us but a ton of other teams.

If he balls out I would give him the extension before iupati.

Iupati has not played very well this year, the worst pass blocker on the line and slow coming off the ball. Much easier to replace a guard than a wide receiver.

Especially on this team

True, but from what I've heard from Robinson, MM etc, Iupati has been dealing with an injury (shoulder I believe).

Even so, eye-you-potty still pretty darn effective.

I saw that on the home page. Read it and it left me with blue balls. Since when is late November/early December considered ahead of schedule for Crabtree? They gave us that timetable back in May.

They were saying mid Nov for awhile now. I was hoping the Saints game but guess not. If he's good to go by the Rams game Dec 1 maybe we should think about giving him an extra week and making it the Seattle game. Then again might want to get him out there and adjusted to the speed and shake off the rust before the Seahawks game. I don't know about the Saints game but we should be ok without him for the Panthers, Redskins and Rams game.
