Out of all the pre-season games we played so far...I am glad that we spanked the Aints the most! I was at the game and them fools (The Aints) had their starters still playing in the 3rd quarter and still got spanked by our 2nd and 3rd stringers! Rattay to Brandon Loyd! both are turning out to being the future of this team!
No sign of Tony? Hopefully he made it out of the Stick alive?
I am here mayne. Yep your boys took it to us. It was pretty sad seeing your 2nd and 3rd string offense move the ball on our first string defense. So I'll suck it up and accept this loss. Good game on the Niners part.
But what did I tell you about Dale Carter?... Remember the first play of the game? You could hear the impact of that hit throughout the whole stadium!! And now this...
"-- After having a day to think about it, the San Francisco 49ers aren't sure Eric Johnson's collarbone was broken by a clean hit after all.
The 49ers have asked the NFL to review New Orleans Saints cornerback Dale Carter's hit on Johnson on the first play from scrimmage in San Francisco's exhibition victory Saturday night.
Johnson, the 49ers' starting tight end, broke his collarbone and got a concussion when Carter leveled him with an apparent helmet-first hit after Johnson caught a 1-yard pass from Jeff Garcia.
Johnson will be out 10 to 12 weeks and could be placed on injured reserve -- but after the game, general manager Terry Donahue and other players said they thought the hit was legal.
On Sunday night, coach Dennis Erickson wasn't so sure.
"I think that's something the league is going to have to look at,'' Erickson said. "Eric didn't see him, but Eric had the ball four or five steps before he got hit. ... It was a freak thing. There was nobody covering the wide receiver running down the field.''
The 49ers are enduring their share of injury problems during Erickson's first preseason with the team, but he has been coaching football long enough to give him perspective on it all."
You have to admit Johnson got blasted. I hate to see a player get injured though but he got hit!!
