2012 Rooks ASSEMBLE!!!!

[CalamityX11]

The time has come....

 

[numone9er]

I really think we have to get Jenkins and LaMichael James out there. I can't wait to see them in action.

 

[CalamityX11]

Sounds like we'll miss Hunter and KW at least for next week....

Offense getting younger all of a sudden lol...

 

[Smalls]

I would expect KW to be out longer than that. Indications suggest it was pretty serious.

Not by much, ha, Hunter and Williams are both 24 and Jenkins and James are 23

HIYO!!!!!

Eeeeshhh...K-Dub may be gone for the year depending on the severity of this: 49ers injury report: Kyle Williams, Kendall Hunter, Delanie Walker all leave Saints game - Niners Nation

I'm more excited about Jenkins. I don't think James can be expected to replace Hunter's production or style. I would guess Jacobs moves up the chart if Hunter really is out. Jenkins though, I really want to see what he can do. Could be real exciting.

nfl experience...

Well if this isn't the "opportunity" for Jenkins to show us the first round talent that we invested into. Going to see if that "speed" and "hands" of Aj are really something to talk about. Could get exciting.... considering Kap's deep threat ability.

LMJ, we'll see what he does, perhaps he and Ginn would work PR/KR more so? It be interesting to see how Harbs will treat Hunters minutes for both Jacobs and LMJ(assuming).

It typically takes rookie WR's longer to assimilate to the league as opposed to rookie RB's. With Jenkins, he showed flashes of solid hands and some good route running, although he apparently did struggle in camp (based on who you ask). I think all of us would like to see him play. On one hand, Baalke has done a pretty solid job drafting players. Although we are a deep team, it's just interesting to note that AJ couldn't beat out Ginn nor Williams in the starting 5. Granted, Ginn is a "return" specialist (and I mean that with much sarcasm), but that's interesting to note. I'm not going to put too much hype into AJ just yet until we seem him against starting CB's.

As for James, he's not in the same mold as Hunter - both have speed although Hunter has some power to his running style. James is more of a quick hitter and might be faster (comparing 40 times, LJ had a 4.45 compared to KH's 4.53).

I almost noted that same exact info in my post but I thought I read a whole thread about that and didn't want to get into it all over. You are right though, I'm just more interested in what he might bring to the table than what LMJ brings.

They'd better bring their big boy chairs to the table. Uncle Kendall and Aunt Williams can't make it to the next few dinner parties so these kiddos aren't eating in the family room off of TV trays. I'm hoping they show up with a nice bottle of wine to compliment the meal instead of big eyes, bad decisions, and English muffin pizzas. We're about to find out I suppose.

Harbaugh says LaMichael James’ hands and route-running have improved dramatically

This really excites me about LMJ. We could really use him as a 3rd down back in the mold of Sproles. He'll bring a different dynamic to the offense.

English muffin Pizzas are awesome man...

 

[Flyingiguana]

[clyde_carbon]

Quick, assemble! Optimus Prime needs Skids and Mudflap!

Oh...they are...but this is wine country my friend, and I'd like this season the be a nice 2013...February 3rd 2013 to be exact.

I'm actually more interesting in seeing LJ based on what I saw him from when the Afflacs squared off against Cal over the years:
