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.

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.

labronco · 08-14-2005, 12:57 AM

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 · 08-14-2005, 01:06 AM

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 · 08-14-2005, 03:42 AM

They're taunting me, Those bastards

bpc · 08-14-2005, 04:02 AM

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 · 08-14-2005, 07:54 AM

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

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

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

Garcia Bronco · 08-14-2005, 08:43 AM

Two things jump out at me from reading what those 49er fans had to say.....one is...willie had Moss's number all night...

....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 · 08-14-2005, 08:47 AM

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 · 08-14-2005, 09:52 AM

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

Lestat · 08-14-2005, 10:27 AM

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 · 08-14-2005, 10:29 AM

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

GoHAM · 08-14-2005, 12:05 PM

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 · 08-14-2005, 12:12 PM

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

watermock · 08-14-2005, 12:42 PM

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.

Moss slacking?!?

Man it must be cold in hell today!

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.

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.
