u just like to antagonize and pile on, if someone scoops up jones rather quickly on waivers then maybe you'd have a point, but its just as likely he's on the p-squad or even back on the active roster at some point in the season

Well two sixth round picks and none of them are on the roster. Thats just a bad job of drafting and talent evaluation. On a good team with a roster stocked with talent I can understand them not making the squad but with a s**tty ass team like ours we cant be wasting draft picks.

Peelle, who is from Fresno and played at Oregon, originally was drafted by the Chargers in the fourth round in 2002. He's also played for the Dolphins and Falcons, who acquired him in 2008, the same season Michael Turner rushed for 1,699 yards.

The 49ers have been searching for a third tight end since second-year player Nate Byham went down with an ACL tear early in training camp. The team had been using a tackle - either Adam Snyder or Alex Boone - as an extra blocker. But their presence on the line has telegraphed the team's intent. Peelle gives the offense more versatility. He's scored 12 touchdowns over his career and last year had 10 catches for 96 yards. Atlanta waived Peelle injured earlier this year after he went down with a knee injury in the first preseason game. The 49ers recently gave Peelle a workout and he ostensibly also passed a physical.

Snyder and Boone may have telegraphed the niners intent, but all you need is one opposing player to forget they are eligible and move across the line when shifting.

Who the hell is this guy? I didn't even know he played for the 49ers until the middle of the Lions game.

Whoever he is I don't like him. Looked lost. I'd rather have Jennings run routes.

LOL, guys he was brought in to block and that 1 route is the only one I have seen him run in the 4-5? weeks we have had him. Go back and look though.... he has been doing an outstanding job blocking and a few of his blocks led to TDs and big runs.

Edit: 1st one that came to mind (and I just went back and checked it) was the game winning TD run by Hunter against Cinci week 3. Go back and look at if if you have Game Rewind or highlights.... 3:11 left on the replay his block and then I think Walker's lead to the TD.
