http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/2458 Recent articles about Brandon Jones en-us Although the 49ers are in the thick of the playoff chase (who knew I'd be rooting for Brett Favre and the Vikings?), I'm always looking ahead for the purposes of site content.  Whether the 49ers make the playoffs or not, there are a variety of issues that will need to be addressed in the offseason.  In order to be better prepared for the offseason, every so often I'll roll out a "Preparing for the Offseason" post.  It will be something to give me a bet...

Well, of course, they can. But is it realistic? Probably not. With parity in the NFL and the inconsistent nature of the 49ers, I don't see how they can win six games in a row against any group of opponents. This is a league in which the Chiefs defeated the Steelers, and the Raiders have beaten the Eagles and Bengals. I can't envision the 49ers winning six in a row to finish with a 10-6 record. And if they finish 9-7, the 49ers are going to have t...

Matt Wilhelm takes over as the 49ers' starting "ted" linebacker. Also, Brandon Jones is not going to be in uniform for the game. That means Arnaz Battle will get another chance to return punts.

I've got a good amount of links for you today--or at least I think I do. Still have yet to make the jump the past few days. Anyway, I'm in a bit of a hurry so I'll just touch up lightly on what we have. Of course there's some Michael Crabtree stuff, a bit about some of the other 49ers receivers and an update on Frank Gore. I think I may have a couple previews for you, but of course no promises.There's articles about the offense and I'm sure I hav...

This is Jones's first practice since shattering his shoulder in August. I'd be surprised if he was cleared to play, but maybe he'll be ready next week for the Vikings. Mike...
