Just saw the LT interview. I still love the guy. He said on a radio interview that he wouldn't be against coming back to San Diego. I don't see him having much of a role here (besides sulking on the bench), but I'd like to see him come back and retire with the Chargers. If anything he can teach Ryan Mathews how to stop fumbling the ball.
 
FU Ez.

I don't really see how this a contentious point, to be honest. People work harder if they know they're replaceable. To some teams "next man up" or "nobody is above being cut" is mouth service, but time and time again we've seen it be exactly true as well. The Packers did just fine without their legendary guy. The 49ers did too.

People like Sanchez work harder when they're being chased. Maybe with enough pressure he'll achieve mediocrity. Franchise quarterbacks don't need that. Nobody ever considered bringing in somebody to pressure John Elway. That's my point.

I cant see it but im going to go ahead and say that even if we win on the field sunday, all niners fans are losers off the field because of this guys actions. All 49ers fans, players, front office, owner, former players, former owners, former fans, future fans, future players, the concession stand workers, the parking attendants, the ball boys, anyone who broadcasts the 49ers and anyone who watches or listens to those broadcasts should be ashamed of themselves

I've only been scorlling, but i haven't noticed anyone bitching about the atrocious performance this year from Tramon Williams. I don't know if it was the shoulder injury or what, but he covered like Seahorn and tackled like Deion all God damn year. 8-12 yard cushions, slow cuts, even getting beat on deep balls.

It's been frustrating but I think it's due to the injury and no Nick Collins.

Having Nick back there was like a safety net, so Tramon could gamble more.
He trusted Nick to make the play if he guessed wrong whereas with Peprah and Morgan he basically had to babysit them.

Then yeah, the injury.

I don't know. You'd think he would have adjusted at some point.

I don't know what he could have done playing all that weak ass zone, having the bum shoulder, and getting no help from the pass rush.

But the dropped interceptions were pretty unforgivable.
There's an easy pick-six he could have had against Detroit I think, but dropped it.

Also whenever Peprah would give up a big play, Tramon would never look at him or anything. I think he pretty much hates him.
So that's not good for communication when Woodson's pissed all the time, Tramon's passive-aggressive, Morgan god bless him is trying, and Peprah is derping up and down the field.

He got worse from 2010, no doubt. Like I said in my other post, the Packers staff has to hope he (and Shields) stop regressing and start improving again.
A pass rush can help hide coverage flaws but hopefully some of the flaws can go away with better CB play.
 
Not too surprisingly, Eli Manning will be back at practice today. He is at the facility right now finishing the washing of his pussy as it were...

Also, the Niners SI cover was posted earlier and that appears to be the edition hitting the west coast. The east coast are getting the Giants on the cover:

SI cover jinx null and void?
 
I'm loving all the hate on the Ravens from the media. Very few are giving them a chance. I want to spite the media and the major markets and get a Baltimore/SF Superbowl.

Having said that...

If Baltimore loses the early game, I'm becoming the biggest Giants fan ever. If the Ravens don't make the Superbowl, the Niners can't either.

Don't lie. You've been rooting for the giants since they won the game last Sunday.

Suddenly, Trotter Understands

In 2005, when I was covering the implosion of the Eagles' Super Bowl team, directed by veteran demolition expert Terrell Owens, one of my biggest frustrations was that it seemed Jeremiah Trotter didn't quite get what T.O. was about.

Owens spent the spring and summer trying to sow discord and rancor, because he was unhappy with the contract he had signed a year earlier. He was sent home from training camp after admonishing offensive coordinator Brad Childress not to speak to him until spoken to. He carried on a bizarre, onesided war with quarterback Donovan McNabb, who had done nothing to Owens, other than failing to win the Super Bowl.

Finally, in November, when Owens granted an interview in which he faulted the Eagles for not recognizing his 100th career touchdown during the game and agreed with the interviewer's observation that the Eagles would be undefeated if Brett Favre were their QB, Eagles coach Andy Reid realized this mess had gone on long enough and suspended T.O.

Trot was a leader in the locker room, and the unquestioned leader of the forces trying to get Owens restored to the active roster. He didn't defend the things T.O. had done, but he seemed to think McNabb ought to just ignore the persistent undermining of his authority and leadership, because, hey, T.O. was a dominant player -- probably THE most dominant player physically I've ever covered, in any sport -- and the Eagles needed him to get back to the Super Bowl.

Football is a team game, though, the Daily News has learned, and you really don't win the Super Bowl with a superstar wideout trying to tear down your quarterback. Reid later told me one of his biggest regrets was that he let that situation fester too long, tolerated too much. I eventually concluded McNabb was never viewed quite the same way again by his teammates.

Today, I think maybe Trot finally understands what the big deal was, why you don't clasp a viper to your bosom, or whatever that passage in the bible says. Owens, interviewed for the February endition of GQ, was asked to revisit the past, in search of things he might have done differently. T.O. allowed that some of the stuff that happened in Philadelphia was unfortunate. Then, as is his wont, Owens indulged in a self-justifying flight of fancy.

Maybe you recall that the crisis caused by the "undefeated-with-Favre" interview was nearly defused, when Owens was dispatched to the NovaCare auditorium to read an apology dicatated by the Eagles. That effort failed when Owens chose to read only part of the apology, leaving out the part that dealt with McNabb. Reporters found this out when he left the entire text lying in his locker stall. Comcast filmed it there, and reported on the full contents.

Shockingly, this is not the official T.O. version of events. In GQ, Owens reimagined the scenario, and cast Trotter in a pivotal role. (Oh, and in another twist, the GQ interviewer somehow thought the apology had to do with T.O.'s assertion that he "wasn't the one who got tired in the Super Bowl." That happened the previous spring, and had nothing to do with the suspension.)

"Well, I probably should have done...," he begins, rubbing his hand along the contours of his massive shaved dome. Then he stops himself. "No. No. Listen, I was in the locker room before the press conference, and my team captain, Jeremiah Trotter, read through that apology they wrote for me. He got to the bottom part, the part where it had the stuff about Donovan, and he did this." Owens snatches a piece of paper from the table and rips off the bottom three inches. "This is the team leader we're talking about; he told me not to do it."

Except, no, the apology was not torn, when reporters saw it afterward in the locker stall.

But creating an alternative reality, where the leader of the defense prevailed upon him not to apologize to the quarterback, that is very T.O. That is the essence of T.O.

Judging from his tweet to Owens last night after this news broke, I think maybe Trot gets that now:

"yo man y u lying to GQ Mag I never told u that call me ASAP!!!!!"

Dunno if that call has happened. If it has, I would guess that Owens told Trotter he didn't really say those things, the interviewer manipulated his words, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Because nothing is ever T.O.'s fault, really.

Scumbag could have been so good for so long with McNabb. I still believe they would have eventually won a SB together if TO didn't go all TO on everyone.

Tebow can beat Pittsburgh in the playoffs though ;)

That game was a mess. Pittsburgh just completely disregarded the defensive formula for Tebow. Considering that this team is the Pittsburgh Steelers, it's just mind boggling and raises a ton of questions for the offseason fodder. To a much lesser extent, someone needs to keep Ben's ego in check. I'm not saying this is the primary reason why they lost. It really wouldn't have hurt to have Batch out there for some of the drives.
