http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/22059 Recent articles about Aubrayo Franklin en-us Hope everybody is having a good Thanksgiving.  We've got our Thanksgiving open thread if you want to chat about any of today's games.  I wanted to get this posted before the food coma completely overwhelmed me.  We've got the injury report here, followed by OC Jimmy Raye's post-practice press conference transcript. We had some interesting comments from Jimmy Raye, including the fact that Isaac Bruce will not be active Sunday and Brandon Jones will be. ...

With that in mind, it stands to reason that San Fran will go a long [...] Mon, 23 Nov 2009 06:27:51 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Niners_to_keep_Franklin_around_at_any_cost/1616325 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Niners_to_keep_Franklin_around_at_any_cost/1616325 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Niners_to_keep_Franklin_around_at_any_cost/1616325 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/2/e/2eb4fb256fb013a4097bd3e7541ceec2d31c21a9/small/GettyImageProxy.ashx_requestUrl_http_3a_2f_2fcache.gettyimages.com_2fxc_2f89770320.jpg_3fv_3d1_26c_3dEWSAsset_26k_3d2_26d_3d77BFBA49EF878921CC759DF4EBAC47D09D9E762CAD5D329B02ED07DD14FF45828447FE73273069E5.jpg In his seventh NFL season, 49ers nose tackle Aubrayo Franklin has become one of the best nost tackles in the league.And he'll be paid that way come 2010, one way or the other.According to John Crumpacker of the San Francisco...

(Last week against the Bears, he gained 25 yards after sweeping around the right side on a direct snap.) Gore said he likes that the defense is spread out a little more in the shotgun. "You can see the defense better," he said. Offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye talked about the challenges of facing the Packers defense on Sunday. He said the Pack...

I don't have very many links for you today, but it isn't for lack of searching. There's just been a couple days off so there won't be a whole lot of news unless changes are made or until the previews start coming out later this week. Still, I'll find what I can for you. As always, if you find anything I missed, post it up in the comments for everyone else to read, I can't find them all. As far as 49erland well... I'm remaining stalwart on my...

I've been having a lot of those lately, but I'm sincerely trying to cut back on them. Anyway, back now and all is well. Or as close to well as possible. Yesterday we had a great Sunday of football as far as entertainment goes but two negatives as far as the 49ers are concerned. These of course are the Panthers winning their game against the Falcons (the 49ers hold Carolina's first round pick in the 2010 draft) and the Cardi...

Good morning, folks. And now I feel like the 49ers are on a bye week, which is weird. I just hate going into Saturday/Sunday without anticipating a Niner game. Still, I suppose I have UFC 105 to look forward to today, even if it looks to be an incredibly boring card. As for the 49ers, I'm getting more and more convinced that the team can go into the game next Sunday against the Packers and get out with a win. Yes, the game Thursday was ugly. Yes, the offe...
