lol. Fernando calls RBs => KOs. its slang for something hip and internet-cool, I just don't know what. We're so out of it bruh!

"There was something on that list that night
The RB's just didn't look right, Fernando
They were mislabled there for you, not me
For your pomposity, Fernando..."

I'm a little disappointed in the injury reporting. Maybe I just don't know where to look. Like Ladd for instance, what's up with him? Knowing the injury status is part of the fan experience. plus we have fantasy drafts coming up.

It's better than nothing. What would be your coaching tactic here?

have one of the 4 qbs on the roster other than herbert throw him over the shoulder balls while he's actually running.

[jamrock]

Yup looks like something you would see at the pop warner practice.

they're gonna have him ride the short bus to games

Thoughts:

- Depth chart is way early, there are players 'working through something', and some starters are listed as this guy OR this guy. Fun for us, but not too meaningful
- Popper has asked everyone at the podium since Herbert got hurt about how concerned they are about Herbert missing time and not developing coordination with receivers and not being in synch with the latest installs. He keeps getting shot down but also keeps trying to get something, anything, he can use in an article making this statement.
- Popper, part II, and I am NOT a grammar police guy, but for a pretty good writer and a professional journalist, Popper continually adds "at" to the end of sentences. "Are you happy with where you are at? I thought that given where Herbert is at, that he would need more practice time" That is a cardinal sin and one a trained pro does not do. Every time he does it in a presser, everyone take a drink.
- DJ Chark really impressed me at the podium, seems like a great kid. In fact all the FAs that Hortiz has added are like him. Really have their heads screwed on, making the most of the one or two year skimply deals they got.
- If Sanjay cannot fix QJ, no one can. Sanjay is one of the best out there at his position.
- Perez feels like a camp arm. Juggs machine cannot fully simulate a QB for the WRs and they cannot hand off the ball or help with pocket depth. Him sticking or even making the PS is like a winning lottery ticket. Glad he is getting some great coaching and some NFL experience.

Reminds me of a story.

A cowboy from Oklahoma was visiting a friend in Harvard. He stopped a professor and asked him, "Can you tell me where the business department is at?" The professor replied, "We at Harvard do not end sentences with prepositions." The cowboy replied, "Ok, can you tell me where the business department is at, asshole?"

" ... where the XXX is at"

that just doesnt feel wrong to me. I get the currently construed technicality, but it still doesn't feel wrong. I wish to challenge the originating rule, what forum will hear my plea?

I only wish to live the remainder of my life free to more selectively decide who to throw the asshole aspersion at

I noticed looking at the "depth chart" that they have the rookies listed after the returning players, which explains Ladd 5th, Vidal 6th, and Colson 5th. Make the young guys earn their spot in the hierarchy!

That's a Harbaugh rule. We'll have to get used to it. If something is broken and/ or will require surgery and/ or a lengthy recovery, there will be more info when they go on PUP or IR.

Harbaugh talked some about Herbert because it was Herbert and people were going to notice the boot and him being on the sidelines for a few weeks.

No notice = nothing serious yet.

The post cut to 53- pre Raiders game depth chart will be more informative. And subject to change.

Yeah, same conclusion here.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: A satisfied need no longer motivates behavior. Dude got paid $960K. Got his mom that house. " Maybe I'll catch them, and maybe I won't. It's all good in the hood."

Looks to me like another Brian Bosworth career. Over rated hype. I hope I'm wrong but he doesn't seem to be very concerned about his progress.

Yep...let Carrothead lob some of those over the shoulder balls to QJ...he's pretty accurate, right?
