49ers need to cut Ted Ginn Jr.

Found August 28, 2012 on Pro Football Zone:
PLAYERS: Ted Ginn Jr,  Randy Moss,  Michael Crabtree,  Mario Manningham,  Kyle Williams,  A.J. Jenkins,  Chris Owusu,  LaMichael James,  Darren Sproles,  Navorro Bowman
TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers,  New Orleans Saints

Getty The San Francisco 49ers should cut Ted Ginn Jr., and I’ll tell you why. The 49ers are talking about going into the season with six receivers on the roster; , Ginn, Randy Moss, Michael Crabtree, Mario Manningham, Kyle Williams and this year’s firstround draft pick A.J. Jenkins. For a team that is built around the running game and has two excellent tight ends as well as an undrafted receiver (Chris Owusu) perfect for the practice squad, this seems a little excessive. Ginn is too injury prone and doesn’t provide enough value for the extra roster spot. Injuries forced him to miss time last season, including the fateful NFC Championship Game and now he has an ankle injury that makes it look like he will miss some time. It’s no wonder his free agency tour didn’t go well and he came back to the Niners for a low-end deal. They should never have brought him back. Yes, Ginn’s salary cap number is very low (1.2 million dollars). Yes, he is a very good kick returner, but that seems like t...

Via 49ersNews  |  August 27, 2012
The San Francisco 49ers could be using Kyle Williams to return kicks to start the season. That is because Ted Ginn Jr. is right back where he was to end last season – out with an injury.

Jacobs discusses perils of Twitter

Via Pro Football Zone  |  August 29, 2012

While he receives a lot of support on Twitter, 49ers running back Brandon Jacobs did admit that some of the hateful comments people send his way are unfortunate.

Which Randy Moss will we see on the 49ers?

Via Win My Fantasy League  |  August 27, 2012
Which Randy Moss will we see on the 49ers? Rizzla: This is a tricky one to answer. On one hand Moss will be motivated playing for a contender. On the other hand his QB will be unable to get him the ball enough, and he will only be on the field for obvious passing plays. I really liked Moss as a WR3 candidate but now realize he is merely a bye week filler with WR3 upside. If the 49ers...

49ers defensive coordinator says it's not time to panic yet

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  August 27, 2012
The San Francisco 49ers ranked fourth in the NFL in total defense last season and second in scoring defense, and there's no question defense is the team's strength. So it comes as somewhat of a surprise that opposing offenses have moved the ball and scored with relative ease against the 49ers during the preseason. That includes Sunday's 29-24 victory over Denver...

Brian Westbrook exceeded all expectations. An injury prone, undersized back out of ‘Nova? Yeah I’d pass on him too. Selected in the third round by Philadelphia Brian was a projected third-down back.
