I meant to say Wiggins. I always get the 3rd and 4th stringers confused. Though I liked Hall too.

So Barrows just threw out "IR" when referring to Parys Haralson .



:O

i think new ir rules state we can bring him back later in the year, but he could miss a significant chunk of time regardless..

I saw that too.....

Hopefully Cam Johnson can step it up and learn fast. I'm not counting on much from Haggans.

[phlysac]

Haralson has a left arm injury. Biceps, elbow, forearm-type. No idea how serious.

[dan77733]

That sucks if Haralson goes on IR even if he gets taken off later in the year. Of course, couldnt he just be placed on the PUP list instead of going on IR?

Obviously, there's more to the Haggans signing that we originally thought. Still a downgrade from Haralson though. WOW!!! Never thought that I would say that. LOL.

[phlysac]

Haralson officially placed on IR. They did it before the "Special Designation" timeframe of 1pm Tuesday, meaning that Haralson is done for the ENTIRE SEASON, including playoffs!!!

The fact that they didn't even bother to wait the extra 24 hours says they didn't believe Haralson had a shot of coming back this year, like at all.

Haggans certainly isn't a bad backup. But we should still have a 4th OLB. Obviously the team isn't comfortable with Rowe, Bakhtiari, and Francis, nor anyone else on the FA market. Anyone out there we can trade for? Or maybe promote Cam Johnson to the 53 in a week or 2.

[Brent]

well... goddamnit

[49ersfan_87]

49ers sure aged this offseason...

49ers have NFL's 5th-oldest roster after adding Clark Haggans, 35, and putting Haralson on IR. Packers 4th-youngest.

https://twitter.com/espn_nfcwest/sta...04914713825280

49ers have 10th-oldest roster if we remove all NFL specialists (K, P, LS) from equation. SD, ATL, DET three oldest that way.

https://twitter.com/espn_nfcwest/sta...18488580485120

We were 10th youngest or something like that last year. Of course, 19 of 22 opening day starters returned and aged another year.

We still have a lot of youth and guys in their prime. Only major old contributors are Justin, Ice (could be replaced by RJF/Williams next year), Carlos, Moss, Goodwin, and Jacobs. And of course, including Akers/Lee/Jennings on ST's too.

[Brent]

Yeah, I was going to say, the core group is rather young. The team added some older vets, but it isn't like we're expecting Haggans or Jacobs to be heavy contributors.

[abaddon41_80]

So we are going into the season with Brooks, Aldon and Haggans are our only outside linebackers? Well, plus Cam Johnson on the PS. I don't feel good about that

[edgrenade]

I still think that we'll be seeing Dobbs come in on passing downs at DE, so that might alleviate this situation.



Hopefully....

[abaddon41_80]

Still confused as to why we didn't keep Bakhtiari. I thought he impressed enough in the preseason to earn a spot, especially considering how thin we were at outside linebacker

[dan77733]

This sucks. Didnt know Haralson was even seriously injured. Here's an idea even though it would be an expensive one year rental -

Trade a 4th rounder to the Giants for DE Osi Umenyiora. Could move him to OLB as an extra pass rusher. Granted, its for one year and would cost a lot but he's the only veteran player who's 30 or older, has one year left on his current contract and could be available.

Obviously, Giants gave him a pay raise in June but they're not going to give him a long term deal so he could be available for trade. If he can do what Aldon did for us last year, I think that he would be worth the risk.

Thoughts?

[Ness]

Not going to happen. Those are my thoughts.

[hawkeye123]

Maybe in Madden that could happen.

Maybe. You never know when the game will experience a glitch.

[Madirishman]

The main reasons Osi wants to leave NY are that he doesn't get the $ or playing time he ideally desires. He would have the opportunity to have less to become a 49er. We're all stocked up on ex-Giants. Next topic.

He gets completely washed out supporting the run and if he doesn't win the edge, he gets swallowed up by tackles in pass pro. He had "okay" success as a speed rusher against OTs that aren't NFL caliber.

Maybe but we also kept guys like Ian Williams and Garrett Celek who were even less impressive against non-NFL caliber players and play positions that we have enough depth at

I won't argue Celek, but Ian Williams looked dominant at times against 2nds and 3rds whereas Baktiari occasionally looked capable. That's a big difference, in my eyes.

If a recently cut OLB of Baalke's was brought back, in my opinion it'd be Akaika Alama-Francis. He looked much more natural setting an edge.

[dan77733]

Okay guys. It was just a thought because he's a pass rusher. As for Madden, I dont have that problem anymore since I traded in M12 and M13 today to Best Buy. Received $54+ in credit and actually made about a $12 profit and was still able to play both games.

Oh well, back to ebay to find a copy of 2K5. :)

I think I still have 2K5 in hopes they would make it compatible for the 360. You can have mine for free. Just pay the shipping. PM me your name/address.

Also I'm hoping to do the Gameday thread tonight.

[Ness]

I hope Ted Ginn will play. Oh and I'm guessing it will be sunny in Lambeau. I think I'll stay at home for game 1.

Thanks and while I could be a prick and take the game from you for free, im not like that. 2K5 IS backwards compatible for 360. Just have to download the update via your ethernet connection. You'll also have a patch to download which eliminates the negative yardage clipping penalty stat glitch on offense.
