Knowing LaMichael James like we do, there’s no way this tweet is about football (fields). Do it really matter how nice the bed is if the mattress is bad??? — LaMichael James (@LaMichaelJames) August 22, 2014 Even if he is referring to the grass at Levi’s Stadium, which is in the process of getting replaced […]
Two days after Kendall Hunter tore his ACL, LaMichael James was carted off the field during today’s practice. According to Ian Rapoport, James suffered a dislocated left elbow. He’s expected to miss a month, according to multiple reports. He suffered the same injury at Oregon, and here’s the good news: he didn’t even miss that much […]
So much for trading LaMichael James. With Kendall Hunter tearing his ACL during yesterday’s practice, the 49ers go from the deepest running backs group they’ve had in years to a situation that’s fairly unsettled. They have the veteran, Frank Gore, who was supposedly going to see a decreased workload this season. That could still happen, […]
Practice was scheduled to go until 1 pm, and the players yelled happily when they were told to hit the grass for post-practice stretching about a half hour early. Some teams called off their last practices of minicamp entirely, so this wasn’t surprising. No need to risk possible injury, plus Jim Harbaugh was extremely happy with […]
Running backs seem to be the easiest players to overhype after the draft. Maybe it’s because the ones good enough to get drafted generally run up some pretty ridiculous stats in college, like 15-20 touchdowns in a season and multiple 200-yard games. Kendall Hunter came in with plenty of promise as a fourth-rounder who had nearly identical […]
Matt Maiocco and others reported on LaMichael James’ location yesterday; while the team is taking part in “voluntary” workouts in Santa Clara, James is training by himself in Texas. James has a $50,000 workout bonus as part of his contract, and since he’s still on his rookie deal, that isn’t a figure to sneeze at. […]
Frankly, it would be a surprise if the 49ers weren’t shopping LaMichael James. They don’t see him as a fit in the offense, he scares the hell out of everyone (including himself, it sometimes appears) when he returns punts, and he doesn’t want to play for the 49ers. Correction: he may want to play for […]
Ann Killion wrote a column about Jim Harbaugh that has been followed by an incredible amount of irresponsible speculation, mostly centering on the “players” she referenced in this paragraph: And from what I’ve been told, the tension isn’t just upstairs in the building. One source with inside knowledge of the team says that Harbaugh’s act […]
Welcome back for the exciting conclusion of our 49ers season review! In parts one and two of the series, we analyzed the abject failure which came to define the 2013 San Francisco 49ers from every possible angle. Niners fans kept up a long tradition of calling KNBR to rage against imperfection. “You guys are right […]
The 2013 NFL season is finally over. The 49ers failed to win the Super Bowl (AGAIN). Some other jerks won it and they got totally lucky. It was a stupid season. Let us never speak of it again. Wait. Okay, maaaaybe we can speak of it again, just for a few more days. Now that […]
LaMichael James had a pretty eventful sophomore year with the 49ers. He was inactive for several weeks in the middle of the season, seemed to complain about his lack of playing time on Twitter, then after Kyle Williams was released he became the team’s primary punt returner. But James has never seemed all that happy […]
