Hell yeah! Tackle problem solved. Why the heck hasn't he been starting all year??? Stupid Harbaugh....

Didn't Ace say it was Spanellis?
October 29th, 2017 at 9:31 AM ^
Nick Baumgardner did, here's the tweet:

Sorry. It was Nick Baumgartner who ID's 97 as Spanellis.

This may be, but I could've sworn Spanellis was in in the fourth spring his with name 72. I just don't see him changing jerseys mid game....
October 29th, 2017 at 11:43 AM ^
Sometimes it’s fun to try to reverse translate an autocorrection. I’m stuck on “the fourth spring his with name 72”.
October 29th, 2017 at 12:29 PM ^
I was on the sideline and his jersey with 72 was sitting on a box.
October 29th, 2017 at 1:43 PM ^
with #72 on, and his name, spanelli. right at the end of the game.

Spanellis
October 29th, 2017 at 9:33 AM ^
It bothers me how terrible his jersey looks, the number spacing makes it look like Falk ordered that jersey from AliExpress or another Chinese website.
October 29th, 2017 at 9:52 AM ^
Fucking Adidas! Can't wait for that sweet Nike gear. When Nike takes over the entire uniforms will always be perfect. Like listening to Morgan Freeman reading Leaves of Grass...
October 29th, 2017 at 10:08 AM ^
There are a number of jersey's with number spacing like that. It's also bothersome how some of the players with shorter names have different spacing with the NOB. I'm happy that I can worry about this on a Sunday morning instead of being in a sour mood after a shitty Saturday game.
October 29th, 2017 at 10:55 AM ^
My AliExpress jersey looks better than this. This is just plain terrible.
October 29th, 2017 at 11:42 AM ^
I've noticed this with a lot of jerseys. Grant Perry, Brad Hawkins, etc all have they numbers spread and it makes the jersey look bad. Some players though (like Khalid, and Isaac above) have them perfectly separated. I wonder if it's just random or what, but that's a mistake on Nike or the equipment staffs part.
October 29th, 2017 at 12:22 PM ^
Yeah Grant Perry's always bugs me. A real pain in the butt to see #88 like that
October 29th, 2017 at 12:52 PM ^
A real pain in the butt to see #88 like that
Well played.
October 29th, 2017 at 2:48 PM ^
Not to mention that numbers aside, I wish we still had him in that jersey given the state of our passing game as a whole this season. But subtle jokes make it hurt less so I do what I can
October 29th, 2017 at 3:20 PM ^
i know its keeping me awake. i watched the game and never noticed the uniforms. i think i was watching the game.
October 29th, 2017 at 1:25 PM ^
You know he'd use Underground Printing for those.

for that burn
October 29th, 2017 at 9:39 AM ^
Spanellis. Him and Ruiz (I think 96) were both in as extra blockers on Kareem walkers td
October 29th, 2017 at 9:42 AM ^
Man he looked big out there. He certainly looks the part. Ulizio got in there as cole’s backup at LT at the end of the game.
October 29th, 2017 at 10:08 AM ^
I think Spanellis is up to like 340 lbs, he's probably the biggest guy on the team other than Onwenu and maybe Chuck Filliaga. I'm not sure what Mone is up to this year but he's also massive.
October 29th, 2017 at 10:52 AM ^
When is this game of "let's play our OL out of position" gonna be over? Cole at LT, now Ulizio. Both should be guards
October 29th, 2017 at 10:59 AM ^
Maybe when we have able bodied tackles and the aforementioned Cole isn’t the best tackle on the roster...
October 29th, 2017 at 12:24 PM ^
This is a good point.
Who on the roster right now would you possibly put into that category of "able bodied tackles?"
Just going quickly through the roster and looking at guys 6'6 or taller (and not undersized like Honigford at 275.)
Filiaga is 6'6, 345
Steuber is 6'7, 314
Newsome is 6'7, 314
Bushell-Beatty is 6'6, 315
October 29th, 2017 at 4:06 PM ^
2019 or 2020? It ain't gonna be this year or next year...
October 29th, 2017 at 9:49 AM ^
Spanellis had an extra #72 jersey (with name plate) and shoulder pads sitting on an equipment crate next to the bench yesterday. Didn't know they just swapped out the whole thing when this happened.
October 29th, 2017 at 10:11 AM ^
Yeah I think he was wearing it for a while and went in as 72 correct?
October 29th, 2017 at 11:26 AM ^
yes, ok, definitely saw him in as 72 late. changing out pads and all makes a lot more sense then trying to change just the jersey. somebody yesterday was saying they use the 97 for linemen who are in as eligible receivers...
October 29th, 2017 at 10:26 AM ^
I remember when I played football 20 years ago, much easier to get the jersey on and off when it was already on the pads
October 29th, 2017 at 10:37 AM ^
Right, I just kind of assumed they just pulled the new jersey on over the old one, but given the stretchiness of jerseys now, yeah, it makes sense the more i think about it.
October 29th, 2017 at 11:36 AM ^
and they had a spare xxxxxxxxxxl no name one in the storage room.

He's your god now.
October 29th, 2017 at 11:36 AM ^
After the game he disappeared. They called him the Laughing Wolverine. They foud his uniform in the dumpster out back. Some believe it was Lyanna Stark. We'll never know.
October 29th, 2017 at 11:46 AM ^
Really nice deep cut that only super book fans would know.
