Final 53

I thought Ninkovitch was already put on injured reserve. What about Branch as backup to Karney?

I agree with the poster - 'cept I think we will carry a fullback over stecker - dag nab it. I like stecker.

Here's my thought after last night. I love Thomas and I think he earned his spot. If we can get a 6 or 7 out of Stecker we will take it. I am not impressed by Pittman but I think he makes the practice squad, Thomas is gone and Ninkovich is on injured reserve.

Cher, here's three I think you might be wrong on. Just my opinion mind you, but here they are. Branch, for some reason, I just don't think he's going to make it this year. He's to far removed from last year when we really did need him. Phillips, as much as I liked him last year, he hasn't shown me much this year. I think he's gone. Last but not least, and my biggest surprise to you all is Hollis Thomas, he's still to fat and seems very slow and to big to keep his push going, I think Payton will tire of his antics before the season starts. It
just seems to me he's not doing enough to get into shape to play.

Yeah Joe, I can see it from your side too, I guess we'll all know in about 13 days, wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Rob Ninkovich is on IR for the YEAR????? WTF, I thought his injury wasn't very bad?

Interesting thought on Thomas. I just don't think, even with Lake playing above expectations, that we have the depth at DT to cut him.

What about Stecker? Did he touch the ball last night?

Any chance we were showcasing Thomas number 3 because some teams are interested?

As far as I know and i'm pretty sure of this Ninkovich isn't on IR. Stecker played well last night what little he played. As far as Pierre Thomas, I don't think they're showing him off so someone else can grab him.

Thanks joe! I was starting to get worried for a minute.

Last I heard, he should be back by opening game. At least I hope so. I met him last year at camp. Really nice guy.
