Sorry for the lack of new posts these last 36 hours or so. Part of the reason (hopefully this makes it OK) is that I've been busy planning some major changes to the site, which I'm hoping to unveil next week. I don't want to give anything away, but you'll definitely want to stop by and check out 49ers Observer 2.0 next week (and see the update below).
In the meantime, here's an update on what's new today in Ninerland. I KNOW I GOT on Vernon Davis pretty hard for his attitude earlier this preseason, but I have to say I like the fact that the 49ers were a little feisty today in practice. This late in camp (the last day of camp, in fact), you might expect players to be sort of going through the motions. It's encouraging that they're still spirited enough to get into a scuffle here and there (as long as no one gets hurt). Oh, and Davis wasn't involved in any of them. PATRICK WILLIS PLAYED James Brown and rookie safety Jake Patten played Vanilla Ice in a talent show honoring former 49ers offensive lineman Thomas Herrion, who died after a preseason game in Denver two years ago. It's unclear whether Patten played the new Vanilla or the old Vanilla. Hey, maybe the Ice man can get Patten a gig on a VH1 reality show when he gets cut next week. SPEAKING OF CUTS, Matt Maiocco takes a look at what cuts he thinks should be made by Sept. 1, when teams must be down to 53 players. Nothing real controversial, I suppose. Matt has a pretty good handle on this type of thing. C.J. BREWER MIGHT have saved himself the indignity of being cut, but only because of a torn ACL that will cause him to miss the rest of the season. ***UPDATE*** The first change to the site has been made. The background is now white (yes, it's supposed to look like that). Let me know if you hate it.
