9ers fans raving about Middlebrooks performance

Check it out. Thought you guys would like to hear the 9ers fans take on Middlebrooks tonight. They're raving about this guy...saying he shut Moss down and looks like a possible starter. He did start tonight because Spencer was hurt. Of course there's still plenty of time for him to tear up a knee or an ankle or who knows what. Also...I'm thinking Moss wasn't exactly giving it the Rod Smith effort tonight, which would hardly suprise.

[Kaylore]

Engleberger notches a sack and Middlebrooks has a good game. Well that's nice to hear. Since he's playing for the niners now, he doesn't have to worry about being healthy for any playoff games either. :~ohyah!:

[labronco]

i guess that was a fair trade then. good for middlebrooks. but it would take more than a probowl year by middlebrooks for them to get out of cellar this year. i do hope they play well, and so do the bears... a game better than the redskins is all i wish for.

[Popps]

The 9ers have a pretty good RB prospect in that Purify kid. Anyone see the game? Wouldn't be surprised if he gave Barlow a run.

[Ratboy]

They're taunting me, Those bastards :(

[bpc]

Purify has always been sweet to watch... for about 3 weeks... then he'll strain a groin, or a toe, or seperate a shoulder. That guy just has a major problem with injuries.

[Wes Mantooth]

I watched much of the first half. Middlebrooks was blanketing Moss with the first team. Did not see Purify though.

Glad they are happy with him...by the way who is Middlebrooks???

He's that future pro bowl CB we gave up on for another DE to go with our other 17 DL

i didn't know there was a pro-bowl for the chronically injured rofl

I guess that's the gamble, rather or not his injuries will prove to be chronic.

[Garcia Bronco]

Two things jump out at me from reading what those 49er fans had to say.....one is...willie had Moss's number all night...LOL....like it was a whole regular season game. Two...they disrepect Shanahan...who's OC work helped win a Super Bowl there and absolutely helped SY get a 1st ballot induction last week. Oh the irony.

[Garcia Bronco]

And another thing about Moss...you can hold him all night. for 25 plays...but whether it's the 1st...or the 4th quarter...he's a threat to catch a deep one and score on ya.

[labronco]

well, if middlebrooks can defend moss, maybe moss lost a step? ;)

[Lestat]

holding Moss under control isn't as good as it sounds cause it means other WR's are likely making big catches while you got 1-2 great guys on Moss

[DBroncos4life]

Middlebrooks, pro bowl? HA What a joke. The guy will never make it more then 8 games this year.

[GoHAM]

I really don't care what Middlebusts does for the 49ers. Fact is he didn't do anything for us. And as long as Engleberger gives us even a little bit of production we came out ahead on the trade 'cause Willie wouldn't have done anything for us this year just like last year.

[gunns]

On the ESPN board some posters were saying Middlebrooks got beat all night. Course maybe weren't high on the trade.

[watermock]

I was under the impression that Willie's knee wasn't quite right, maybe it's finally come around. I was a little surprised at the move because we allready had to many DL, and figured that we might of sold them a bill of goods. More than likely, it wasn't Middlebrooks shutting Moss down. 90% probability says Moss was slacking.

Didnt I say Willie would be a baller this year?

As you know, I'm with you on this. I like Engelberger and all, but I would have rather kept Willie.

Too bad the front office didn't listen to us :unamused:

[baja]

I had mixed emotions too and even started a thread about it.

The thing that is encouraging is the FO must have felt good enough about the three drafted CBs to deem Middlebrooks expendable.

[16-JakE-16]

same

[Play2win]

I still like Willie alot, but I just don't trust him to stay healthy, especially in games we really NEED him for. And the bigger and better our D-Line rotation is, The better we are. I really think, with the League rules being what they are, the most important aspect to a team's success is its D-Line.

[DBroncos4life]

This cracks me up. Had the guy 1 time in 4 years finished a season then yeah maybe we should have kept him but he is always hurt. Keep saying well he played well this preseason game, I have read that he didn't play well also. I just don't think he will ever do anything more then play a few games and land on the IR.

Well he was doing good last year, but you're right, the jury is still out on him as far as injuries go.

[Mile High Shack]

uh

49er fans

it was a PRESEASON game

if Moss wanted to, he would've burned Middlebust

[TheReverend]

No, I stand by Willie and that he will be extremely productive in the NFL. SF's scheme will probably be good to him, too.

DBroncos4Life, definitely earned some respect from me with your last post. Now that hes playing good a lot of the "Middlebusts" are turning into "I wanted to keep him!". Glad you stand by your word as I will always stand by Willie, Deltha and the lack of talent/potential in Mike Anderson.

[Mile High Shack]

Middlebrooks may be talented, but he will always get hurt

I hate to say it, but 5 years in a row of injuries tends to point that out

Are you dogging on Courtney too for dislocating his elbow?

[Ballhawk]

I am happy with JE, so I guess that is all that matters to me. I could care less what Brooks, O"neal and any other does now that they are gone. O'neal helped us land DJ and Brooks landed us JE who I feel will be a key rotaional guy.

[rbackfactory80]

Dont get too excited, its just pre season

[Mile High Shack]

well, let's just say it's par for the course and WE didn't have to spend a #1 on him

I never really dogged Oneal. I always thought he would make a good FS in the NFL and really he was the type of player you need next to a shutdown guy in Bailey. I didn't like Oneal getting burned though and he had to do something to piss off the coaches that bad to get moved to the O. I liked Middlebrooks and I wish him well but I just don't think he will ever be healthy to amount to anything. In return we got a high motor guy that has never been hurt and has improved each year in the NFL. I just can't see how we didn't win in that trade.

[rbackfactory80]

Broncos Vs Patriots. That is what Deltha did. A Game we should have easily won!!!!!!!

Let's see what they are saying at midseason when he has missed 6 games with a pulled hammy and been sentenced for beating women. Nnyah!

Seriously, I don't think anyone in Denver has ever doubted his talent. He almost looked like an NFL DB last season. He just has too much baggage and it was time for us to move on.

All I know is I love this year's CB Draft picks. Its not about potential anymore, its about PRODUCTION !!!

ummmmm .... never mind.

btw, I watched the niners game, and Middlebrooks did play well. We'll miss him, but DE was a priority, and while I wish the guy well and have defended the draft pick, I think the odds are against him staying healthy.

And Delta Dawn played well for the bungles too.

But, I'm not convinced Delta can play much man, while Middlebrooks is the whole package, aside from his health and his off the field brush last year.

Its a flawed system. In my mind it doesn't work. I don't accept it. So, in my mind, there were two National Champions that year. I know alot of the public agrees with me. The BCS is a flawed system and we would be better off without it.

[Mediator12]

The BCS system, whether you like it or not, does crown a national champion. LSU won the crystal ball 2 years ago, and USC won it last year.

Uhhh, no it does not. The very fact that they attempt to collude with the AP to determine the National Champion just proves how the System is flawed. The lack of a playoff produces paper Champions since Auburn went undefeated last year as well against better Competition. Like it or not, the system sucks and there is no definitive National Champion.;

[SoCalBronco]

The BCS does not determine a national champion. It simply determines the lineups of who plays in certain bowl games. The Coaches Poll contracted with the BCS to award ITS national championship to the winner of that year's 1 vs 2 game. The AP did not. There has never been a BCS National Championship. There has always been 2 POLLS. The AP and USA Today/CNN/ESPN Coaches Poll. Before that it was the AP and the UPI. Both are of equal dignity. The BCS itself does not award national championships. It is the 2 polls that have always awarded the Mythical National Championships.

We traded an inconsistent player in Middlebrooks for a healthy DE who can help with the ever-elusive holy grail of defense: a pass rush that can lead to turnovers. I like the trade.
