• Blount Not Out Just Yet

  • From: 44management
  • Description:

    By now I am sure you heard about the horrible actions of University of Oregon senior RB LeGarrette Blount, who was suspended for the 2009 regular and post season for his punch to the face of Boise State sophomore DE Byron Hout last Thursday night after the no. 19 ranked Oregon Ducks lost their first game of the season to the no.14 ranked Boise State Broncos.  Blount was a highly touted prospect for the 2010 NFL draft. His height, weight, speed numbers were that of a player the NFL considered to be very good at what he does, or otherwise said to be excellent. Blount obviously committed a vicious act for which he will be forever tied to, and may have cost himself millions of dollars in the upcoming 2010 draft. 

    How does this affect his position in the 2010 NFL draft? After conversing with many scouts throughout the NFL, many believe that while Blount may have acted too aggressively, but he should not be considered a lost cause as a football talent or as a person.  There are many scouts and executives who will see his actions as deplorable, but that will not be enough to deter some from taking a chance on considering him as a viable NFL prospect.

    Blount was considered to be a low first-round or high second-round pick. There are some who will read this blog and think that he probably doesn’t have a chance to be drafted at all. I would challenge that though process.  His pre-season assessment alone (first-round or second-round draft choice) will probably garner him the opportunity to receive an invitation to the 2010 NFL Combine in February. The only reason he will not be invited to the NFL Combine is if there is some type of public outcry and disapproval for him attending the Combine based on his actions last week.

    By the time the NFL Combine comes around, most of what he did will be an after though, as long as Blount has shown sincere remorse. I don’t want Blount or anyone else to think he has a free pass to make it to the NFL. He has already dropped to at least a second day draft selection for his actions, and even more so for the simple fact he will not play anymore during the 2009 season due to his suspension by the Oregon Ducks.

    There is a lot of growth for society, in general, during the collegiate years of life and Blount is no different. He made a huge mistake and should be punished accordingly.  However, I only hope that he is not “thrown away” and considered another stereotypical football player who had everything in front of him and blew it all because he could not control his anger at the time.

• Crabtree Update

  • From: 44management
  • Description:

    In a recent text with San Francisco 49ers WR Michael Crabtree’s adviser, David Wells, I asked when would we be seeing the announced signing of Crabtree to the 49ers. His response was, “Soo[n]”.

    Training camp and preseason are over, and the regular season is now upon us. We start with a clean slate.  No one cares what happened in preseason and definitely not what any player did in college.  After conversing with many former NFL “greats” who played with my dad during his time in the NFL, they all agree that the ONLY person who is being hurt by the hold out is Crabtree. I whole heartedly agree. Not the 49ers. Not the sports agent. Not David Wells. Not he 49ers. Not the fans. Plain and simple; Crabtree is doing himself a disservice.

    Crabtree and his camp may feel as though he is a better player than any and/or all of the other nine picks ahead of him and should be paid accordingly based on what he did in college. It may even prove to be true in time that he is better than all of them.  For now, he is just another player who was drafted in the no. 10 spot of the 2009 NFL Draft and will command the money paid for that spot.

    Words of advice to Crabtree and his camp of advisers, “Get over it!”

    Crabtree has not practiced with the team since Organized Team Activity (OTA) that ended this past June. He has no value to the team at this time and is not going to come in and make an immediate impact on the field. The team will request a two week roster exemption for him and he will sit on the bench for those two weeks. 

    The person I feel most for is the player who busted his ^$# during training camp only to be told when Crabtree is then activated, his services are no longer needed.

    Now how is that for a fair system of rewarding hard work? If the 49ers wanted to truly do the right thing, they will place the player’s contract that they plan on terminating on the Reserve/Injured (R01) list at least continuing to pay him for the remainder of the season.
