Tank Carradine

Is he on the PUP? I haven't seen him play a snap, but think he was on the roster for the first game but was made inactive. Does anybody know what is going on with him?

Yup. Not going to play for first 6 weeks and then we will find out more.

He's not hurt or anything like that.He has just been on the 7 player inactive list for first two games. I hope to see him get some playing time soon but other postitions matter more it seems.

After looking at the inactives I noticed he was not on that list last week but saw no action.

I didn't see him play but I didn't see the 4th quarter (fell asleep). When did he play?I might have missed that.

No comment? It really doesn't suprise me. You never really posted here much before.

I didn't get this move. He looked really good in the preseason and I bet he would of helped us in the pass rush. Bad move by Harbaugh.

This has been my confusion. I think I remember him being inactive for week 1 (meaning he wasn't on the PUP) but didn't see anything last week, and given the way he played in the preseason, I just can't figure out why he hasn't played more.

Maybe Coach is throwing in the towel. I have no clue. Something doesn't seem right with Harbaugh this year.

This just doesn't seem right to me. Harbaugh is way too competitive to throw in an entire season. In addition, this is essentially his contract year (as very few coaches are allowed to go into the last year as a lame duck), so I would think if he wants that big extension, he would be all in this year above any other. Also, we are merely 1-1, which is the exact same spot we have been in every year under Harbaugh (We have lost in week 2 every year of his tenure), so there shouldn't be any jumping ship at this point.

It's really simple if you think about it in as a whole and not just focusing on the individual.. Tank right now is not the starter, he is a back up.. A team can only suit up 46 players per game...One of the requirements of a back up is to be able to play special teams... He has very little experience with ST... So the coaches tend to activate more players with more flexibilty as much as possible...

That, and Quinton Dial has really started to blossom.

wow!

I get the "on the field training" but still, most rookies learn it in one off-season? Tank didn't have last off-season on the field, but that still SHOULD'VE gave him a good start THIS off-season?

I agree...two years and THIS is the issue? I don't get it.

it MIGHT appear his sliding to the 2nd round, wasn't only about his injury?

He should be playing. Let him learn on the field.
