49ers regular season news and notes

This could really hurt

The good thing is that we have all of this RB depth. Hunter is averaging about 6-7 carries per game. My guess is Gore will pick a couple of those up and add them to his 15-16 carries per game load while whatever is left will be dispersed among Jacobs, James, and Dixon.

True, Kendall is such a good change of pace guy will be interesting how they replace that.

[Crombiestudd6]

Thats why we drafted james

[richiesaurus310]

He can, and likely will, but we need a quality backup in case Ted gets hurt (I'm guessing LaMichael will fill that role). Ted is currently dealing with a sprained wrist. Most figure he'll be good to play, but it is not certain as of now.

By the way, Kyle Williams wasn't a rookie last year. He was a second year player.

Didnt he only play in like 5 games his rookie season? He was still very inexperienced is all Im getting at. Id rather not have James back there in the playoffs is all im saying. Ginn would be fine even though he fumbled last week. I just hope these guys learn to fair catch in the playoffs.

Matt Barrows says that he is hearing that Hunter's ankle injury is serious. That's not good. He's more important to this team than people realize.

Not if James steps up.

[Orange&Black55]

Was James or Jenkins active today?

[Kyle916]

Jenkins

[DerekRE_3]

Free LaMichael Jenkins.

[Lakers211221]

I'm fairly certain LaMichael James would've done better than Brandon Jacob's 1.5 yards per attempt.

Yes. I prefer my change of pace back quicker and faster then my main. Didn't realize Hunter getting hurt would be so bad. This seems like one of those ugly games that he'd get one of those sneaky 20+ yard runs in a big spot so we could sneak out a win.

I wonder why the staff doesn't have faith in James.

[RedandGold_35]

Didn't see the inactive list before the game but I threw my hands up in disgust to see Jacobs spelling Gore with James in street clothes. Only reason I can imagine is that they want to keep what he can do under wraps for now, at least I really hope thats why because its the only excusable reason.

I don't think they like to give playing time to rookies. Last year we had so many holes that they had no choice. But, even last year, Aldon Smith wasn't given the full role as an OLB.

I'm fairly certain LaMichael James would've done better than Brandon Jacob's 1.5 yards per attempt.

Agreed.

[rapjuicer06]

If that's the effort were going to get from Jacobs, then I recind what I've said and he doesn't need carries

[lolPhillies]

^ that.
