And Patrick Chung was released by Chip and the Eagles. Too bad. Hope he gets picked up by somebody.

I'm not sure where you got that James was having games played with him. From what I understand being down here, LMJ's problem was that he simply struggled in pass pro and really wasn't feeling putting the effort in to get too much better. He was outplayed by Hunter, lost his reps, starting whining about it on social media, and then told the team he wanted a trade. A player on the team specifically told me he was a "whiner." (I know, too many easy 49er=Whiner jokes). There is definitely a difference of opinion between Trent Baalke and Harbaugh on some personnel decisions; LMJ being one of them. Though generally, I think that notion is overblown.mm55 wrote:Harbaugh could never figure out how to use LMJ. It seems like he (Harbaugh) played some head games with him too at least that is what some close to the team have hinted at. The 49ers offense is very old school. Harbaugh in no way is as innovative as CK. He does not adapt to the people he has. The 49ers plan this year is to run Gore into the ground and use Lattimore. Lattimore blew out both knees in college in a major way. I hope the guy makes it because he is good but clearly it will be at the expense of LMJ and risking your running game on a guy with two questionable knees makes one wonder.
SF was never a good fit for LMJ. I remember when they drafted him and I thought what are they thinking- he does not fit their scheme and in all fairness James had some major gaffes in games but again the word is that Harbaugh and Tom Rathman really played some games with him and some even say did their best to destroy his confidence. Who really knows for sure but I hope for LMJ that he lands in a good place and plays for someone who can figure out how to best use him.
The 49ers are a mess with all their off field issues and word is that there is a lot of infighting amongst upper management which is never a good thing. TO have all these off field issues when you are asking your fan base to lay out a whole bunch of cash on seats in a new stadium is a very bad situation.
Very interesting indeed. That's a pretty solid source of info. LMJ has def built a rep around Bay Area media people too, one that is less than favorable. Could be PR leaking from the team though.mm55 wrote:Actually dude my neighbor works for the 9ers and he is the one who told me about James and the issues with Rathman. According to my neighbor, JAmes is well liked by his teammates and by all accounts according to my neighbor was a pretty hard worker so we definetly are hearing conflicting info. My neighbor works directly for York so I assume he is pretty plugged in. He rarely talks about internal stuff and actually told me this unsolicited. The convo started when he asked me what I knew about James from his days at UO. I said other than his play on the field I did not know much. My neighbor commented that he thought he (james) was getting screwed by Rathman. Somewhere in between lies the truth.
I will say I am beginning to believe the rumblings thAt Harbaugh's act is wearing thin with the players.
My neighbor also commented that there " is a lot of concern about what has transpired" lately and right now James is the least of their worries.
Really? I realized we've been doing a better job of pumping talent to the NFL, but I wouldn't have guessed we are 7th of all schools. Dang!Phenom wrote:Steve Greatwood @OregonOLine 5m
44 Ducks in the NFL! 7th most of any school in the nation. Most NFL draft picks in the Pac 12 over the past 3 years. Win The Day Ducks!
Peele was hired a few weeks after Michael Clay and it brings the total to 4 coaches who played at Oregon who now coach for the Eagles: Bill Musgrave, Matt Harper, Clay and Justin Peele to go along with Chip, Azz for 6 Ducks on the coaching staff. Then you still have Brandon Bair, Taylor Hart, Josh Huff, Josh Kaddu, Wade Keliikipi, Jeff Maehl, Casey Matthews and Will Murphy makes the total 14 Ducks in Philly getting paid by Jeff Lurie!11:42 - Now over to the tight ends. Assistant tight ends coach Justin Peelle stands about 7 yards away from the players. They have their backs turned to him. He yells "ball!" and fires a pass at them. By the time they turn around, the ball is there, and they have to make the grab. McManus and I could simulate this one, but one of us would likely end up with a broken finger, which is the equivalent of microfracture surgery for a blogger.

Add in Greatwood's stat with Oregon being 7th in players in the league and the coaches should really be hammering home to recruits that if you want to get into the league, come to Eugene.
