Runnin Raven

Congrats SSS, truly one of a kind.  Want nothing more than for you to get a Lombardi.  Deserved.

I saw it, was wondering the same thing.  Who knows?  We probably will never know.

Without getting too much into specifics, it feels like there has been a seismic shift in philosophy.  Before training camp Harbaugh talked about a wide open competition and the guys who step up will make it, regardless of past history.  I forget the exact words, but I like the concept.  Butler's release doesn't really jive with that philosophy, but its not exactly like he was a potential pro bowl WR either.  I think they're shooting for identifying real explosive game changers, cause last year didn't cut it obviously.

Just something that I noticed with Breshad - he's physical!  I was impressed with what I saw of his hand fighting ability.  I think Q said Steve Smith was coaching him up on some finer points, which of course I would expect. 

He (Waller) looked pretty great last night, although I admit I didn't watch him every snap or anything like that.  He is big and fast - looks like a muscular NBAer.  I haven't seen many of these "projects" turn out well in the past, but Waller may just be a major exception.  I think he can be become a very very good TE, potentially explosive.

I am really curious what is up with Maxx though.

Are there any Judon highlights of this preseason anywhere?  I can't find any on BR.com, and missed every time he made a play.  Excited for that young man.

FWIW I think Wilson has played real well

Please let it just be a sprain!

I don't think I can take another season of this

West got dinged and Canady had something as well

Thanks ludy51!  Hope it was nothing major for Canady.

Saw some injury talk earlier but can't get the game right now.  Who's been hurt so far?

VERY happy with Chris Moore!!  

Basically missed the whole game :(.  Did Mike Wallace play at all?

What exactly is the deal with Chris Moore?  Is it a "soft tissue" thing or what?  I am excited about having him here, along with Tavon Young.

Really just another sad situation with a very high draft pick, ala Sergio Kindle.  Totally different circumstance, but same net result.  Chris Moore just became a lot more important to our equation at WR.  Thankful for that pick this year.

Really compelling video - obviously pulling for him big-time.

FWIW someone mentioned Clay Matthews in terms of "violence", but not as "high-twitch".  The 2 guys on the video went into a painfully long discussion about the merits of comparisons and kind of came up empty.

I enjoyed the part around 33:00 or so when they said he'll be getting in a fight with Steve Smith at practice.  Yep, that seems like a safe bet.

Gotta stay positive and trust the system.  None of these guys are finished products coming out of college.  From here its all about coaching and hard work, which I think KC is more than ready to do.

Love the draft so far, a lot of compelling guys today.  Love the Tavon Young and Kenneth Dixon picks.  Also, Matt Judon is a bad man :D.

I hate the Cowboys.  Let's talk about Chris Givens.

Well the fact that he's got speed, experience, is hungry, has a chip on his shoulder (potato, lol), is in a contract year, and has Joe throwin him the deep ball now...I'm just excited to see him play.

I'd like to see a replay of Waller's catch but can't find one.  Anybody got a link?  Impressed with how clutch that was.

What the hell was he doing?

Decided to wear a 52 jersey in Pittsburgh, which really is just asking for it.

Unbelievable
