Kaep Strapped; Super Bowl or Bust the OFFICIAL 49ers 2014 Season Thread

[Ronnie Lott]

our DL depth just got a much-needed boost

it's about time we got some good news

 

[yseJ]

It's going to be interesting to see who stays or goes, I think possibly if that trade is sweet enough maybe we can let Boone walk and keep Iupati.

They're both great, but Boone is more versatile, and yet Iupati is the bettter player at the position.

It's tough

imo boone is better for us to keep

 

[Heretic]

imo boone is better for us to keep

I'd go Boone over Iupati too. Sucks we have to choose

 

[yseJ]

I'd go Boone over Iupati too. Sucks we have to choose

we just have way superior guard depth than tackle depth.
with boone if a tackle goes down (god forbid), boone can slide in both right and left and do a decent job. if a guard goes down looney, marcus martin, snyder can all take over, and its easier to get a decent guard than a decent tackle in draft.

plus iupati will want more money

too bad boone chose to play the holdout game, its finna be very hard for baalke to budge imo

That's never worked for any other player since baalke came. Clearly he doesn't bend for holdouts

he might have to if looney doesnt step up

 

[Heretic]

Yeah but if Boone don't play he don't get paid. He'll break 1st

 

[yseJ]

great news about Ian Williams btw. Purcell was clearly not any kind of answer and Dial is still raw at NT (might be more suited for DE)

Blake to IR

Apparently, the 49ers didn’t dodge every injury bullet during their six-day trip to Maryland. The team on Wednesday placed linebacker and special teams standout Blake Costanzo on injured reserve and signed another inside linebacker with special teams ability, Kion Wilson. The team did not specify Costanzo’s injury.

Wilson (6-1, 239) joined the Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2010. He’s played in 15 games (two starts) since with nine tackles on defense and 11 on special teams. He played for both the Chargers and Panthers in 2011 and with the Steelers last season where he had nine tackles in seven games (two starts). Wilson is familiar to inside linebackers coach Jim Leavitt having played for him at South Florida.

A number of the 49ers’ special teams leaders, including Costanzo, Ray Ventrone and Kassim Osgood, are in their 30’s. Wilson is 27.

Costanzo, meanwhile, was the charismatic captain of the 49ers’ coverage units in 2011. He was signed by the Bears in free agency in 2012. The 49ers reacquired him in June. He joins running back Kendall Hunter and receiver Chuck Jacobs on injured reserve.

I got the bad news today, DirecTV told me they can't get a signal from my house.

Scrambling for sollutions, looks like i`ll definitely be able to catch 8 games through regular cable

Week 2 NBC Bears
Week 6 Rams MNF
Week 7 Broncos SNF
Week 11 NYG i`ll be there
Week 13 Thanksgiving
Week 15 Seattle, only 4pm game on fox, i`m sure that`ll be national
Week 16 Chargers on a Saturday on NFLN

And i`m thinking Week 1 will be played local in NY as Giants are SNF

The rest are a bunch of games that could air local due to no NYJ/G games playing at the time, only one that is no chance is vs. KC as NYJ is on same time.

Bar it`ll be on the ones i`m outta luck.

The online only option is only available to a very select group:

The service is only available to those who: 1) live in apartment buildings where DirecTV service is unavailable; 2) live in metro New York, Philadelphia or San Francisco; or 3) attend college at Michigan (Ann Arbor), Alabama, Washington, Texas (Austin), USC, Florida, Colorado (Boulder), Syracuse, Ohio State or Harvard.

http://www.theverge.com/2014/8/3/5964489/nfl-app-for-xbox-one-has-sunday-ticket-and-fantasy-football

If you're a football fan, Microsoft wants to make an Xbox One integral to your gameday experience. A new version of the NFL app for Xbox One, coming out later this month, is how the company plans to do it.

It starts with videos. Lots of videos. The app is centered around NFL Now, the personalized highlight and analysis channel that's tailored for your favorite teams and your fantasy leagues. Those who upgrade to a premium subscription will be able to stream classic games and other programming like documentaries and shows from the NFL Films "vault."


That's not all: if you have a cable subscription to NFL Network and NFL RedZone, you'll be able to stream those on the console, and DirecTV Sunday Ticket subscribers will get full access through their consoles as well. If you sign up for Sunday Ticket's full online subscription, you'll get access to DirecTV's own Red Zone and new Fantasy Zone channels as well — the latter highlights your fantasy players as they get close to scoring.

But it's not just video content. Fantasy football tracking is a huge part of the new experience. Building on the Xbox One app from last season, the new version has an updated Snap mode that shows a stream of plays made by your fantasy players. And instead of navigating menus to play highlights, you'll be able to set global Xbox One notifications for when fantasy players make big plays. Just hold the Xbox button and a replay will Snap to the side of the screen alongside whatever you're doing. Perhaps most importantly, the new app will work with more fantasy football leagues beyond NFL.com. Microsoft representatives confirmed to Polygon that ESPN is on board, and work is underway to bring Yahoo and CBS into the fold.

The new app is the latest fruit from NFL and Microsoft's $400 million, multi-year partnership. It's worth noting that you won't have to buy an Xbox One to get most of these features — the NFL app will be one of the very first "universal" apps on the console. That means the same app will work both on Xbox Ones and Windows 8 PCs — a feat made possible by the fact that the game console partially runs on Windows. Of course, the advantage of having an Xbox is that you can pass your cable feed directly through the console and use the NFL app side-by-side with live games.

What really matters for Microsoft, though, is if its high-profile NFL partnership will convince fans to buy an Xbox One. After heavily focusing on the console's TV and entertainment chops at launch, Microsoft has refocused on gaming as it's struggled to go toe-to-toe with Sony's PlayStation 4 sales numbers. The company has already abandoned its ambitious Xbox Entertainment Studio

Thanks for the heads up, but i`m not buying an xbox1, that would be much more expensive than 5-7 bar visits

I`m hyped for this season more than usual, we gotta make it happen, it feels like now or never with the paydays of integral pieces coming up
