Good, I wanted Jewel. I think he can develop into our new power back.

Just like we'll live without Ventrone. I'd rather hang onto the guys with potential.

Well Dixon is a free agent after this year. So he could take over that short yardage spot/backup FB spot. Don't think he plays ST though. My only thing is with Lattimore back that's 5 RB's (Gore,Hunter,James,Lattimore,Hampton) plus 1 FB. Seems excessive but then again could add Marecic making 4 RBs and 2 FBs. Would be a cheaper option than Dixon most likely. I don't know though I'd probably just keep the 4 and Miller and maybe make Hunter? the short yardage back. The ST role would have to be filled by someone else. Not sure Dixon is back next year. Could save the money and move on. Same with Goodwin and Whitner.
Also, mentioned this in the Hampton thread but like the way he looked on film in college. First game was very disappointed. He looked like a bad version of the bad version of Anthony Dixon. Was really out of shape. By game 3? I think it was he looked like he lost 5-10 pounds and was running much better. Maybe he had to get in game shape. An injury and time off all year can do that to you. Definitely think he is PS worthy just not sure he has a future on our roster.

I guess they wanted the 3rd TE to be more of a blocker, but Gray had more upside to get better.

It looks as if rookie OL Patrick Omameh, who finished with two strong preseason games, also will land on the #49ers practice squad.
