this is so absurd. Aren’t they going to have to at least identify the body part on the injury report before week 1? they will... but not until the first injury report is due on September 3rd.

Cannot wait for the Franklin Gore Jr. hype train next summer.

This is fine. He's here to be a mentor for Cole. Nothing to be alarmed about whatsoever.

And end scene. Well done, everyone.

Only 2 weeks until Shavers goes from "legendary training camp we gotta have this guy on our roster hero" to "this guy is the reason we stink." *in all seriousness, stoked for Shavers. great story. easy to root for him. hope he makes some plays this year.

I think the Bills only have 5 LB. If we cut Jenkins, 4 is awfully thin imo You're forgetting Shaq Thompson

1 hour left. Bubble guys still on the roster: - Carter - Wilkerson - Moore - Shavers - Gore Jr. - Lundt - Logue Bills trying to work a last-minute trade?

Someone come up with a good headline that riffs on Boogie Nights

Well, I guess we disagree there. The very reason I thought he’d make the 53 is because he is a great STer who can also fill a backup role on D. He's made a couple of nice plays on special teams but I think it's a bit early to call him a great special teamer. The question is really, does another team like him better than the 5 or 6 linebackers they have on their roster based on pretty limited tape of him? Maybe, but I still think it's more likely than not that he clears waivers.

Doesn’t he have to clear waivers first? This doesn’t sound right. Yes. Unlikely that someone claims him though. He would have to be added to that team's active 53-man roster.

Jackson will most certainly be elevated from the practice squad for week 1 and will be your likely CB2. The cut makes sense. He's an easy guy to stash on the practice squad and his experience in the systems means he can be elevated and start in a pinch — but he doesn't take a jersey away from someone like Shavers.

Nothing is going to make you feel better over the next 2 weeks. Does that help?

We've had the internet for like, 30 years. How do we not understand how this works, yet?

The 49ers are just trying to acquire all of the gunshot survivors. It's an interesting strategy but maybe the thinking is, "hey we need some guys with experience when the proverbial bullets start flying on the field."

Can Terry’s yacht play CB?

FWIW, Shavers took a cart ride and was back on the field in like 3 days. So, maybe?

One play at a time. One play at a time. One play at a time. One play at a time. One play at a time. One play at a time. Just trying to get in the right headspace for Jamarcus Ingram being our CB2.

He has been injured and has played poorly. He started last week and will be healthy to play in the 3rd game. Bernard was out. I dont know if he played a preseason snap. He played 12 snaps against the Bears. He was on a pitch count to help him ramp back up. We're likely not going to see him on the field this season with a secondary and LB group consisting of Brandon Codrington, Joe Andreesen, Dane Jackson, Dorian Strong. He had 11 reps that were all pretty much fine. The TD was a bad rap by him and the entire defense. There are going to be mistakes with Cole Bishop this season. There were mistakes with Hyde and Poyer. It seems very premature to say Bishop has played poorly. He has barely played this offseason. Maybe he'll suck. I don't know. It just seems wayyyy to early to make that decision.

Definitely too early to tell with Bishop. I think it will look much different when he's on the field with Rapp, Bernard, Milano, and Taron Johnson. Coleman seems poised to play a huge role this year. Davis is good as a change-of-pack. They love Grable and he's an important depth piece/swing tackle. Not sure what more you want out of a 6th round lineman in year 2. For a 3rd rounder, Carter looks like the only major wart at this point. But otherwise, I'm not going to be too critical about day 3 picks that don't turn into NFL starters.

Yeah, I just watched the all-22 of the first 2 defensive series. The TD to Zaccheaus was certainly a bad rep for Bishop, but like you said, it was a bad play for the entire D. I also don't know that Bishop is going to be asked to go 1-on-1 with a slot WR like that very often. What jumped out to me more in those first 2 series was Joe Andreesen and Dorian Williams not getting deep enough in coverage, not fully understanding route concepts, and not providing any challenge for Williams to throw over. Hamlin had a nice blitz that forced an incompletion. Dorian Williams also had a nice blitz that led to a rushed pass that feel incomplete and forced a punt on the 2nd series. I thought Dorian Strong looked pretty okay at the #2 CB spot in those first 2 series. Codrington was brutal as the slot corner — but no surprise there. If anything, I'm almost more concerned about our LB depth than whether or not Bishop can claim the other Safety spot.

Has Cole Bishop not been injured and missed most of camp?

Just came here to say this. Here's the comments McD made about the MLB spot aimed at Bernard almost exactly 2 years ago.

Is today still considered NOW? or can we move on from this since they haven't cut him?

That's just Gabe Davis with a glasses and a mustache disguise.

Guys. Satire. Don’t quote me with your serious responses as to why preseason isn’t going away. Thanks.
