that's a lot of links...

but here is a short one about Jason Hill.

http://myespn.go.com/blogs/nfcwest/0-2-375/Niners—Hill-knows-what-rookie-WRs-face.html

It sounds like he’ll get some good playing time with the niners this year, though hopefully not any against the Hawks! I’d hate for him to get crushed by Tatupu coming across the middle…

Great find

I think Hill is exactly the kind of receiver who could thrive in Martz’s system — remember, Holt and Bruce aren’t exactly big guys, but they could stretch the field. That’s always been Hill’s strength.

All that is assuming, of course, there’s someone in the pocket who can get the ball downfield …

O'Sullivan FTW

Also, Weaver was interviewed on Bud, the Fan, and the Wingman today. I don’t know if you get that show way out west in central WA, but he had some interesting things to say. Mostly he’s just happy to sign a multi-year deal, and while I didn’t hear him give out contract details, I think he was pretty satisfied with everything. He also said something (about OKC) to the effect that while it would have been nice to play in front of Wazzu fans, he is a little closer to his family this way.

Good for him

I’m glad he was able to get a multi-year deal – I just hope at least some of it is guaranteed. But playing on a terrible team can be a double-edged sword, as you get time to play, but sometimes can get that “loser” label. Just look at what happens to guys like James Posey or Robert Horry when you get that “winner” label. Let’s hope Kyle’s the defensive-minded point guard Presti and Carlesimo have been lusting after.
