Post Camp Rumblings and Nuggets.
We're almost there folks. Crazy how fast the offseason can go. I'll try to keep this short and sweet but I got some clarification to some of the rumors and performance evaluations that weve been seen suggested over the last few weeks.
*Speight is legit and has simply done a great job. He won the spot plain and simple. O'korn is going to be a hell of a backup. There is a walk-on QB that is tearing it up also. Not sure of his name...but Harbaugh has taken notice.
* Amarah Darboh is making a leap. He has been described as a "man" out there and may challenge Jehu for top shotta in the WR stable. Darboh's strength and hands have been setting him apart this camp.
* The freshman recievers are the real deal. McDoom is turning heads and will play. Nate Johnson is more than holding his own but the jewel of them all is Kekoa. He has been as advertised and should factor into the rotation right away.
* Devin Asiasi is going to play and is standing out in a crowded TE group. His size and athleticism is showing and he has big time potential.
* There is much news in terms of Running Back. Deveon is your starter. Ty has had a solid camp and is the #2. The Chris Evans hype is real and he has flashed quite a bit in camp. He will see snaps in 3rd down situations and has a terrific knack for route running. Higdon is finally back after a meniscus operation that shelved him for the past 2 months and a battle with mono (contracted while volunteering in nursing home in spring). He will factor in the rotation and has hit the ground running well the last week. Higdon is the strongest back on the team and is also likley the fastest. There is an medical hiccup with Drake and I wont divulge how severe or minor it is at this time. There is no positive news to report of Kareem Walker and Evans was moved to RB for a reason.
* There is certainly a confidence with this group. They realize that they have everything to play for this year. They also realize that Michigan State and Ohio State are the mountains in the way.
* Aside from Drake's issue there are no notable medical developments. Team is banged up because Harbaugh practices them like Harbaugh practices. They are very anxious to put some actualization to the hype. Tune in Saturday....it should be fun.
If any of this was redundant or not interesting I apologize. I'm just sharing some info I've gotten the past week or so. Go Blue!!!

I think he meant just what he said. We can choose not to believe it. I appreciate the OP's contributions and have no problem if he's not completely objective when it comes to his former player.

I certainly hope not, for his sake.
But someone has to be the strongest.

EDIT: Double post. Go blue.

If you're right then we are in for a hell of a season. You could be bullshitting us but I'll believe it since I am an eternal optimist.

Regarding Higdon, I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Volunteers at a Nursing Home for the Spring... Kid sounds like a Saint.

Not that this really has anything to do with anything at this point, but based really is a cool kids word these days. And it doesn't mean on crack.

All nuggets from the sub are most interesting. Might even hold me til Saturday. Bummed for Drake but great news about the receiving corp and W. Speight, T. Issac, and C. Evans. Many thanks for your great contribution at this restless time !

I watched the every snap videos from spring pracitice again after the post about Speight being the starter. I'm no guru, but I think Speight looked better than O'Korn in the spring game. Granted, that may have had a lot to do with the players on each team, but I'm not upset about Speight winning the job.

Mo Hurst...turf toe and I doubt he plays Saturday. Braden is a game day decision. If he sits we will have a surprise starter at LG. There was some movement there, but it looks like Kugler has the nod over Onwenu and others.
August 31st, 2016 at 6:14 AM ^
Not happy about the injury of course, but pleasantly surprised Kugler has improved enough to play. We haven't heard much good news about him since he signed. Maybe everything is starting to click.

In the other thread he said that Kalis has locked down the RG spot and that is good news to us.
August 31st, 2016 at 8:12 AM ^
Should we be worried about Mo Hurst long-term?
August 31st, 2016 at 9:26 AM ^
Turf toe is just a type of sprain. So, although anything could happen, he should be back within a few weeks if treated appropriately. Good thing we shouldn't need him for the first few opponents.
August 31st, 2016 at 9:29 AM ^
Ugh turf toe is the worst. Woodson's NFL career went on like a 3 year plateau until his fully healed. Sounds like the dumbest injury, but for whatever reason it just sticks around forever.
August 31st, 2016 at 9:44 AM ^
Exactly. I can think of about a million injuries I'd rather see sideline a player before turf toe. There are worse ones, sure, but turf toe can be a bad one. Not always, though, so let's hope.
August 31st, 2016 at 9:51 AM ^
and the problem is that it's not severe enough to totally immobilize, yet severe enough to require strict care.
Hurts, but feels like just a couple day/I can still use it mostly/ type of injury that will NOT go away if you push it AT ALL.
My wife's lasted 18 months.
I'm sure docs & trainers can give better descriptions.

What's his 40 time? Isaac almost ran away from Pep in the spring game. Hard to believe he's faster than that.
August 31st, 2016 at 1:14 AM ^
Any word on Carlo Kemp? I've got him and Asiasi as captains four or 5 years from now.
