Isaac Bruce News

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Isaac Bruce, who has been dealing with a bad ankle most of the season, rolled it during practice and is questionable for Thursday night's game against the Chicago Bears.

Tight end Vernon Davis says the San Francisco 49ers will take care of business against the Chicago Bears in Thursday night's game.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith walks off the field at the end of their NFL football game against the Tennessee Titans in San Francisco, Sunday, Nov.

As it turns out, the game film was kinder to Alex Smith than the stats sheet. A day after Smith had four crushing turnovers during a 34-27 loss to the Tennessee Titans, 49ers coach Mike Singletary had mostly praise for his starting quarterback.

The 49ers wasted a fresh approach that gained 358 yards, 25 first downs and nearly 34 minutes in time of possession by committing four turnovers.

The only way to shorten the Titans team name is just say the back part, the "'Tans." If you just say the front end you'll liable to get slapped.

Mike Singletary is like a tightrope walker who's gotten halfway across the high wire and stopped.

Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando What in the world was 49ers offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye thinking Sunday and what does it mean for the team's immediate future on offense? I have a much better idea after watching the 49ers-Colts game a couple times and charting offensive personnel .

With the 49ers' defense holding Peyton Manning and the Colts to 18 points Sunday, the perception following the game was the 49ers lost because of another stodgy, run-heavy performance by the offense.

It's good news/bad news for the 49ers. Two heretofore starters were knocked out of Sunday's game with bad injuries, but it appears neither will be placed on injured reserve and miss the season.

For a team that has adopted "Don't Tell Me Show Me" as a motto, the 49ers are relying more on words than actions these days.

Aaron Rodgers was the big loser on NFL draft day 2005. While top overall pick Alex Smith and a host of other college stars shook hands and took pictures with then-Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, Rodgers sat alone in a pinstripe suit, a forced smile on his face and a weary look in his eye.

Alex Smith looked mostly fresh after two years in storage. But the rust showed during a failed two-minute drill, and the 49ers are working to correct the problems before heading to Indianapolis.

That sure didn't take long! Less than 24 hours after Alex Smith's electrifying relief effort in place of a struggling Shaun Hill in the Niners' 24-21 Week Seven loss in Houston, the former first-round draft pick was named the team's starting QB for the foreseeable future by Mike Singletary at the head coach's Monday press briefing with the local ...

Per Mike Singletary's Monday Presser , Alex Smith will be the starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers going forward.A For those of us who got to watch the second half of the Houston game, this move brings with it some hope.A Hope of an offense where more than two receivers are on the field.

He wasn't the second coming of Joe Montana, obviously. Not ever. But maybe Alex Smith can pull off something almost as remarkable after his long NFL hibernation.

Matt Schaub threw a pair of touchdown passes, and Steve Slaton scored twice, as the Houston Texans held off the San Francisco 49ers, 24-21, at Reliant Stadium.

LET'S GET ON WITH IT. Know what I want to see today in Houston? On the 49ers' first offensive play, I want to see the 49ers send out Michael Crabtree to line up at wide receiver.
