Braylon Edwards Cut

[h-hour]

First, that doesn't answer my question

Second, with regard to your affinity for Owens I would say...And Owens is unemployed for a reason...

Finally, Hasting/Matthews are both on the 49er practice squad which is very much integrated with the "A Squad" including travel - this isn't your normal practice squad...So, what is your point?

But...But..But on Madden, Owens fits right in!

i forgot about having Joe hasting on the practice squad.... His last year of college he had 87 catches and nearly 1,600 yards 15 td's he is a lot like Ricky proehl a former cardinals wr from the 90's

The Ichabods...that might be one of the cooler nicknames Ive seen (Flying Flucos of Fluvanna, VA being #1).

practice squad is practice squad. they're essentially free agents that nobody wants on their active roster. it's nice that they travel with the team and make hotels more money but they're still essentially minor league players

I can't wait until alex smith over throws Owens its going to be great..lol

Well right now we need these "minor league players" as you say. They know the playbook and a guy like hastings is comfortable with Alex which from wathing braylon we know is important. Hell even Crab is looking better lately because because it seems they are more in sync.

You never know what you can get from your p-squad players until you give them a chance. They are a better consideration for a roster spot than moran norris is right now thats for sure.

when morgan went down we should have looked into shoring up our wr's. our wr's are complete dogshit this year and now we're using practice squad guys? it's gonna be hard enough to beat new orleans and green bay, but now we might have to use practice squad players.

San Francisco 49ers – Niner Insider Blog – SFGate.com Source: 49ers might seek WR outside the building for playoffs

So this week 17 game is kind of like a try-out for hastings. They could still look out side for help after the game.

Interestingly, both Hastings (4.42) and Swain (4.41) are faster than Edwards (4.45). However, Edwards has the size advantage over the two PS guys.

I don't know about Hastings but Swain sure doesn't look that fast.

Exactly! Especially with Edwards already dinged up. You might not even beat the Rams with these guys; you most certainly won't beat the likes of New Orleans and Green Bay.

So, you're saying that some guy on the street is better than a guy that's actually on a practice squad who knows the offense and is getting reps? In some very rare cases that has worked out, but I actually give Harbaugh credit for sticking with the guys he has instead of bringing in some fucking douche bag like Owens.

Let's live and die with the guys we have, Harbaugh will bring in more pieces to the puzzle next year. They weren't going to beat the Saints or Packers this year anyway.

 

[tallglassofwater007]

endzone? once we get into the redzone it's gonna be 3 running plays. harbaugh is gonna pad akers stats so nobody beats it for the next 100 years

But the Rams are really bad. I think the Niners will score some points this week.

Well then you might as well just not even watch the playoffs then since you know the outcome....

two days away and no announced replacement.

Ya i find this odd as well

all signs point towards Hastings big try out this weekend then. IF the try out fails, it appears to be pretty uncharted waters for proceeding with FA WR's. I can't recall a time when a playoff team brought in a FA WR after the regular season concluded to start on a team. It should be interesting...but I'm hoping Harbaugh's plan A works out.

just because someone isn't playing doesn't mean they can't outperform a practice squad guy. we're talking about a vet vs an undrafted free agent trying to break into the league.

I'm excited and looking forward to Hastings and Swain going up against the Packers secondary (which may be the best secondary in the league, at least the most interceptions).

Hastings and Swain up against that Packers secondary would be great!
