We're so lucky we have some depth on offense, this year. Good luck James, and see you next year, Kendall!

James is a different RB from Hunter though. They may be the same height or similar, but Hunter is much stronger. I still think Jacobs will be the guy taking his carries and will have to step up in a big way.

So do you guys think LMJ will be carrying the role Hunter had? I just can't picture our dual threat being Jacobs and Gore, but if so they could wear out a defense big time.

Damn this sucks. I was hoping it wasn't serious since during the game they said he was questionable to return.

I wonder if this opens Jacobs' eyes about Harbaugh saying he needed him 100% for the stretch run rather than him being 80% for a Giants revenge game.

Fate ... we go most of the season without almost any serious injuries, and then lose two guys on the very same play. I think I'll always remember the two of them sitting side by side on the same cart and being driven off the field.

Anyway, Jenkins and James are going to be really good players. Hopefully they've been toiling behind the scenes, learning the offense, and ready to burst onto the scene ... at least that's what I'm hoping.

I do think Jacobs will get most of the carries that would have gone to Hunter, but if James makes the active roster he's a much more explosive kind of runner than Hunter. Hunter is more of a smaller version of Gore; James is more of a Sproles type of back. I think we can get him some screens and pitches that will add yet another dimension to our offense and make it even more explosive.

I guess I'm going to be the lone guy to say this but i don't want Jacobs on the field at all. I would much rather get LMJ on the field with Gore and Dixon.
I know what Jacobs brings to the table but as a fan i have to hope they put this ungrateful SOB on the bench or on the streets where he belongs.

He tore his Achilles according to Barrows....

Isn't that even worse than an ACL tear?

No its the same injury that Suggs had.A complete Achilles blow out could be a career ender though.
