http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/3759 Recent articles about Delanie Walker en-us If history has taught us anything, it's that when Singletary said he is considering making a change, it usually means the change is made. Bly has been a starter throughout his career. He's been the team's third defensive back the entire season. Brown is coming off a shaky performance against the Packers and he's nursing a knee contusion. Bly said he's ready to start, and Brown said he'll do whatever's best for the team. If Bly starts, he'll see a...

(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...

And backup running back Glen Coffee sustained a concussion in the fourth quarter. Those appear to be the players who might not be able to rebound for Thursday's game against the Bears.

For instance, offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye this week made reference to Crabtree knowing what he's supposed to do on a play called "525 F-Post." Heck, even I know that Crabtree runs a "comeback" route on that play. I have no idea on which side he lines up, if anybody goes in motion, the depth of his route or any of that. But I know the X runs a 5 (comeback), the Y runs a 2 (slant), the Z runs a...

The 49ers have also been proactive about signing young players - including Shawntae Spencer, Michael Robinson, Frank Gore, Delanie Walker, Parys Haralson and Joe Staley - to lucrative contract extensions. Take this as a good sign that York is putting pressure on Crabtree's camp to talk. After all, negotiations and dialogue have been non-existent for most of the 50 days...
