Opinion: 49ers Power Rankings: The 10 most important players for 2009
Tue, Jun 30 | from Niners Nation
10. Isaac Sopoaga: Why the guy who could reasonably be considered a relative disappointment? Well, at this point it sounds like Kentwan Balmer will be starting the season as his backup. I'd like to see Balmer break out in training camp and take the left defensive end starting spot, but I'd...

Alex Smith and the 49ers QB1 position
So what does Smith have to do to win the job? He not only has to outplay Hill in practice, he has to outplay him by a considerable margin. And, even then, it might not be enough for Singletary to go with him over Hill. Smith has to prove to Singletary that Hill is not the only quarterback on the team w...

Jamie Williams: Former 49er at Academy of Art
Jamie Williams was one of the more memorable San Francisco 49ers from the 1990 Super Bowl team, perhaps known as much for his love of comic books as for his blocking skills - he may have been the only NFL player in the 1980s who wore a Spider-Man T-shirt...

Opinion: Niners draft prospects: How they fit
DE Tyson Jackson: This guy practically screams 49ers. He's big, physical and comes from college football's best conference, the SEC. He would be a perfect fit at left defensive end on the 49ers' three-man defensive line ... if they hadn't spent a first rounder on a left defensive end, Kentwan B...

What has happened to the Bay Area's NFL teams?
Similarly, the once-proud 45ers have been sliding downhill for years. Oh do I miss the days of Montana, Young, Rice and Lott. The other week I watched (thanks ESPN) some game tapes from the ‘80’s and Bill Walsh’s teams. I was always amazed that Walsh was able to take what could politely be calle...
