Lattimore Tidbit

[Herbie3]

Jim Harbaugh said he recently received a “good report” on 49ers running back Marcus Lattimore from the two people in charge of his rehabilitation. Still, Lattimore is not yet ready to join his teammates at practice.

“He's been doing well,” Harbaugh said. “There's been gains, but that's where we're at – not quite there yet.”

Mental might be an obstacle, but being the Christian that Marcus is, I think he'll overcome.

LOL A 100% Lattimore is better than Hyde any day.

In College at least. Hyde looks good out there behind Gore.

I'm just happy the 49ers took the chance on Lattimore to begin with. It's not easy for damaged goods to get much of a chance. I think they love his personality/character the most.

Hyde and Lattimore are similar in size and running styles. If SF can end up with them both healthy they'd have one of the best backfields in the NFL.

OK, well Lattimore hasn't played football in almost two years, so, there's that. I hope he can come back stronger than ever but right now he has been passed by Hyde simply because Hyde has gotten to play

Also, the 49ers desperately want Bruce to excel so they can dump LaMichael James.

I just read that a 49er radio station said yesterday they expect Marcus to play sometime mid-season. that's obviously not as optimistic as his step dad, but is still encouraging considering the news last week made it sound like he may never play again.

Update from 49ers practice:
http://www.49ers.com/news/article-2/...40821_30212086

"Second-year running back Marcus Lattimore is still rehabbing and has not been activated to practice.
Roman said Lattimore is improving each day.
"He’s looking good," the coordinator said. "Our training staff are the people to ask on that if you want to get specifics... They’re putting him through a lot of change of direction stuff, hard-type cutting. He’s looking good.""

Why don't these morons ever ask the Training Staff about Lattimore. I would like to hear a more substantial answer than the same crap every day.

If he was ready to play, they would say that.....so they aren't going to be specific because they aren't sure.....we've waited for almost 2 years, have a little patience.

they are being very careful with him....and they just aren't going to put him on the field until they are sure he is ready.......he doesn't need preseason practice reps.
