I am happy he is getting the opportunity. Although he had been the starting left guard.

you kinda forgot how he lost his guard spot to a rookie after a concussion. But is now center due to the 9ers center breaking his femur.

I was trying not to be a downer. It's hard to "lose" a spot to injury. Singletary has to play Iupati, he's being paid way too much to sit. I know David is a team player, he will do what it takes to better the team.

Dave used to do some field work with me in his days as a Wolverine. He is a super nice guy and I love to see him succeed in the NFL.

David Baas once lost 17 pounds in one 2 hour practice in August his senior year. It was awesome. He's a really quiet guy, but when he weighed himself after practice he started laughing and yelled for all the other OLinmen to come watch as he kept stepping on and off the scale.
He had to sit out the next practice because he lost so much weight. Now that is sweating my friends.

Hopefully he got an IV after, it had to be almost 100% water weight

Great opportunity for Baas!
Local media is pretty crazy about the Niners, and keeps tabs on things like fumbles in practice, as shown below:
