Revenge is a Dish Best Served GOLD: The Official 2012 SF 49ers Season Thread

Anybody else notice On Vernon's td he didn't do that bunny hop like he always does when catches the ball?

I`d also like to see a more threatening offense at times.

don't worry we'll see a more threatening offense once kaep is brought up to speed

Kaep is years away. Literally 2-3 of em.

And he`d be a turnover machine with that awful release that plays out in slow-mo.

He needs another year but the talent is there

Oh I don't think he lacks any of the talent, but he does lack a whole lot else.

And that throwing motion needs to change, he telegraphs his passes.

This week was his best performance yet, before this nothing of him really looked that good at all.

Niners get down to 75
49ers make cuts to 75-player limit

SANTA CLARA -- The 49ers waived rookie offensive lineman Jason Slowey, a sixth-round draft pick from Western Oregon, as teams were required to cut to the 75-player limit.

Slowey saw limited action during the exhibition season, as the 49ers attempted to convert him to center. He missed some practices due to a leg injury and he slid further down the depth chart.

The 49ers also waived wide receiver Joe Hastings, an undrafted free agent last season who remained on the practice squad and was promoted to the 53-man roster late in the season. Hastings sustained a hamstring injury on the second day of training camp and never practiced or played in an exhibition game.

Here's a list of all the 49ers' roster moves Monday to reach the 75-player limit:

Waived
--FB Cameron Bell (Northern Illinois)
--OLB Kourtnei Brown (Clemson)
--DL Patrick Butrym (Wisconsin)
--WR Ben Hannula (San Diego)
--WR Joe Hastings (Washburn)
--DL Matthew Masifilo (Stanford)
--DB Cory Nelms (Miami)
--DB Deante' Purvis (UNLV)
--TE Joe Sawyer (Southwestern Oklahoma State)
--OL Jason Slowey (Western Oregon)
--K Giorgio Tavecchio (Cal)
--WR Brian Tyms (Florida A&M)

Reserve/Physically unable to perform
(Player ineligible for first six weeks of the regular season)
--OLB Darius Fleming (Notre Dame)

Reserve/Non-football injury list
(Player ineligible for first six weeks of the regular season)
--RB Jewel Hampton (Southern Illinois)

This week was his best performance yet, before this nothing of him really looked that good at all.

kaep's preseason stats to date: 13/21 for 139 yards no TOs and a 78 yard rushing TD. not too shabby.

compared to last year, he's looks way better now than he did then. obviously he's not ready to start yet but a lot of the things he has to work on can be improved over time like pocket awareness, getting comfortable throwing under the center, going thru his reads/progressions, getting rid of the ball on time, reading defenses, etc.

and for all the things he doesn't do well right now, he has the arm strength and the speed to make up for it. plus he has the ability to make plays when the pocket breaks down, and that's an essential trait to have since our OL isn't great at pass protection.

in a year or two the offense could be more dynamic with kaep running the show.

Do I have to ask what's going on here...

Yep. 1 more year and he'll either be ready to take over or we'll have to move on.

 

[Rekkapryde]

It's been so long since the gold gang were nice in Madden. I shed tears whuppin ass all weekend.

Our D is a VICIOUS!! Crabs is almost too nice in this game. And running behind Iupati is almost cheesing!

I LOVE IT!!!

I'm surprised we cut Jason Slowey, I hope he get brought on to the practice squad but I think he gets signed elsewere. He could be a solid backup in 2 or 3 years.

i don't think he makes this practice squad. it's usually not a good sign if you're among the first cuts.

he probably wasn't impressing in practice and/or they think chase beeler is a better option at center.

 

[feelosofer]

Yea I guess so, though I never thought we did a good job of grooming backup centers, I hope we made the right choice.

 

[yseJ]

our oline is sooooo shaky at pass pro its not even funny...theres barely any depth too. if we lose, say, staley or iupati it'll get real UGLY real quick.
