49ers winning -- and grinning -- under big brother, Harbaugh

valrod33 · 2011-10-20T11:01:29-07:00

A couple things i picked out from that blog Under the new CBA, Harbaugh was required to give his players four days off during the bye week. He worked a deal with them three weeks ago: If they won their last two games, they would get an additional day off for each victory The show Turning Point (7 p.m., PST, VERSUS) will document the 49ers' fourth-quarter comeback against the Lions. In it you'll see receiver Joe Hastings - he looks like actor Michael Cera - celebrating wildly on the sideline and also in the locker room during Harbaugh's post-game speech. Hastings is a member of the practice squad. Practice-squad players are the low men on the totem pole, and they are almost always left behind on road trips. They are not going to play in the game, so why foot the bill for their flight and hotel? This year, all eight members of the practice squad have travelled for all three road games.

Do you have anything to add to this or do you like just posting stories from the home page ?

Thats cool about the practice squad players getting to travel with the team.

And I don't mind about players getting days off, I bet they will still be watching film at home and working out.

I found this interesting about the blog

Mike Singletary sought to turn the 49ers into one, big happy family. The former head coach wanted players to like each other, to enjoy being around each other in the belief that doing to would make them want to win for each other.

This is awesome! Credit to Jed York as well. Nobody gave him a chance when he first took over, but you can tell he's a completely different personality than his stickler father.

I thought this was going to be about John Harbaugh.
