This video is like 2 weeks old, but somehow I just found it on Youtube. So not sure if anyone else has seen this Michael Crabtree interview, but I wanted to post it. There’s 2 parts.

Coach Mike Singletary is known for his Super Bowl Shuffle…

And Michael Crabtree is known for Crank That Crabtree…

Can you imagine if these two collaborated on the ultimate music video?

Once thing you notice when you look at Isaac Bruce’s stats is his level of consistency. The dude is like the Cal Ripken Jr. of football. In his 14 year career, he’s played in 12+ games in twelve of the seasons. The only time Bruce missed significant time was 1998.

As Crabtree rehabs his foot this offseason, his durability will be under a lot of scrutiny. Will Crabtree be one of those players that missed 4 games every year with nagging injuries? Or can he learn from Bruce and condition himself and play through pain?

Do you think Michael Crabtree’s foot will be healthy enough to start week 1? 49ers beat writer Matt Barrows isn’t so sure he’s a lock to start.

Crabtree’s foot rehab and inexperience in the offense has him behind Josh Morgan at the “X.” Barrows expects the Niners to move Morgan or Crabtree to “Z” if they’re the top two receivers in training camp, but for now Crabtree is a backup with a lot to prove and a very talented player ahead of him.

Has there ever been a time when a WR taken in the top 10 did not start week 1… other than injury? If Crabtree is 100% ready to go I would expect him to be on the field the entire game. Inexperience for WRs isn’t as big of a problem as it may be for a quarterback. Crabtree can run routes and catch the ball better then anyone on the 49ers, even if he has never played a down in the NFL.

There have been plenty of rookie WRs to start day 1 and make an impact. What’s your take? Should they hold him back some, or let him loose?

For those of you coming here for the first time, you can expect to see daily blog updates during football season, maybe some fantasy news, some pictures and video, etc. Pretty much a standard fan site.

Crabtree is an exciting player and I’m excited to keep this website going into the next phase of his football career.

The 49ers don’t have a great quarterback situation, but they are a team on the rise and despoerately needed a go to wide receiver. They haven’t had a player of Crabtree’s calibur since Terrell Owens.

There’s no doubt in my mind Crabtree will land in the top 10 of the draft. He could go as high as No. 5 to Cleveland or as low as No. 10 to San Francisco. Neither of those teams have a wide receiver they can count own. Sure Cleveland has BRaylon Edwards, but they’ve been rumored to be shopping him… so I don’t think his future is with the Browns. Oakland and Jacksonville are also contendors for Michael Crabtree.

Where do you think he will go? I can’t wait for tomorrow!

Texas Tech WR Michael Crabtree, who recently had foot surgery to repair a slight stress fracture on his left foot, had his cast removed Tuesday.

The cast was taken off by Dr. Carey in Dallas, nearly three weeks after Dr. Robert Anderson performed the surgery at the Carolina Medical Center in Charlotte, N.C. on March 4.

The operation was a success and the original report said Crabtree would be sidelined for 10 weeks. Crabtree will remain in a walking boot for another week and is expected to be back on his feet at that point.

One of the most productive wideouts in college football with the Red Raiders, Crabtree is expected by most observers to go in the top half of the draft.

His timetable for recovery should give him plenty of time to be ready for training camp in July.

Crabtree is now visiting 4 teams this week. I can’t confirm the teams just yet, but I believe three of them to be the San Francisco 49ers, the New York Giants and the Cleveland Browns.

Another receiver? Are you kidding me? Yea, I think it’s a little nuts but I began thinking about it and it does make sense on a couple of levels. If Crabtree fell to the Jaguars at the eighth pick, barring the Jags don’t trade down, he would represent excellent value. Selecting the Texas Tech product would be a smart decision that exemplifies a pick where both need and value met. While the team has a multitude of other needs Crabtree may be too good to pass up.

With the recent cuts of Jerry Porter and Matt Jones, plus the loss of Reggie Williams to free agency… that leaves the Jaguars with Dennis Northcutt (legal troubles) and Mike Walker as their top two receivers. Damn!

The Jags need another WR like Kerry Collins needs another beer. They have a terrible history of drafting WRs and their offense doesn’t exactly scheme around throwing the ball, but Crabtree could be a nice fit for Jacksonville. As the go to option from the first game, Crabtree will have every opportunity to succeed.

What do you think?
