I'm sure you've all read this by now, but it really struck me as amazing. I always remember Alex Smith interviews as being extremely frustrating- DUDE! Just say what you mean already! I guess that's just how most athletes are in general, though.
Do yourself a favor and read it if you haven't already- the guy is showing a maturity and determination that, at this point anyways, is very nice to hear.
A couple other notes: Matt seems to think Josh Morgan looks REALLY good so far. Again, it's spring. Everyone's going to go 16-0 in the spring. But still- I really think that without Crabtree we would have been behind only AZ with regards to NFCW WRs. With him, we're right there challenging them, and (maybe) even above them a little. Is Morgan comparable to Fitzgerald? Probably not, but he is really good, and Crabtree is....well, he's going to be just so much fun to watch.
Also, this Brandon Jones guy- we haven't seen much of him, but I was watching a Titians game replay on NFLN the other day, and the guy looked like he had some talent. With those 3 WRs, the offense is really looking promising. The one quibble I have is that none of our WRs is over 6'1. I'm not sure that's going to matter in Crabtree's case, since the guy has a knack for coming down with the ball, but it would still be nice to have a big tall guy out there. Maybe VD finally comes around and is that target.
I don't know, maybe I'm crazy, but this team just feels different now. I love the "don't tell me, show me" mantra. Admittedly, I'm pumping Crabtree before seeing him in the NFL, but some things are sort of a given. I really like Sing and the attitude he's given to the team, as well as the talent he's brought in. I think he's the kind of guy capable of taking a team to the playoffs, whereas Nolan really didn't seem like he had what it took to field a winning team. And I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed, but doesn't it seem like things are getting handled a LOT better between the coaches and the media these days?
Yes, that sounds like a bunch of BS, but from the moment Sing took over last year it was a different team. I really really hope the QB thing gets sorted out smoother than last year.
