It's like if Charles Manson was a football genius, and we consulted with him to help our team. NO THANKS. I don't want a person of that CALIBER around the building at all.

i bet even at his age, when he gets ramped up, he could give a helluva pre game pep talk to the team about us vs them

True story, my mom dated him before he went to LA and did all that crazy stuff...the running joke in my family is I am "Charlie's boy"

True. Do you think we looked disorganized? Result of sub par performance, planning, or is that just how it goes preseason?

hey dont shoot the messenger just something I heard from my sources deep within the organization.

There is no possible way that is true. I'm hoping you're kidding. Moving on, wow, Mangini sounds like a real dick!

i dont think he's kidding, Jed York has already came out and said if JH doesn't get us a super bowl within the next 2 years he will be gone. They brought in Mangini to get acclimated with the 49ers org, so he could take over

Sure. I get that. But, you know, the players aren't the only ones whose feet are in the fire during preseason. The staff has a few corrections to make as well: getting plays in on time, toning down the variaty of looks, matching up talent on defenders better, maybe mixing in some new looks on D.

How did we do there? I didn't see the game only highlights. I notice we beat Denver in the penalty department.

The signing of another ex-brown just adds more proof that Mangini is now calling the shots for his eventual take over for Harbaugh.

i cant articulate why, i just do not like mangini associated with the 49ers. just doesn't seem to fit.

I can't neither, but what I can say is I can't help but to feel there may be too much ex-Browns influence in the organization. It probably started with Brad Seely, then Dawson was brought in (OK, no complaint there), followed by McCoy, Magnini and now Wallace. This is almost becoming like a Browns old boys club. LOL. And I am not sure whether I like it.

Maybe the name "browns" just doesn't scream WINNING. Ha!
Not sure, will have to ride it out and trust that Jim doesn't let any negativity or losing mentality infect the team.
