Interesting, apparently playing patty-cake with Kaep all summer didn't pay off.

Bwahahahaaa! BFFs broken up, Niner fans dejected.
Hope Lockette took lots of photos of the ESPYs because that's as close to fame as he will EVER get.

I would imagine Lockette goes back to the 9ers PS once the final cutdowns are done. He probably still has eligibility left. I think he has less than 9 games on the active roster?
He turned down a chance late last year to come off the 9ers PS to go on an active roster. I would imagine the team rewards him for his loyalty. Or not. Not sure how they feel about keeping him around for another year on the PS. But I bet they sign him to the PS if no one picks him up in the next few weeks.

I also am not sure Seneca makes it to the final 53-man roster. The 9ers had a chance to sign him before he went to the Saints and it just seems late in the pre-season to think he can come in and take the backup role.

Yes drdiags,
He does have PS eligibility, and I would expect him to be placed there... still, after a full offseason with the starting QB, I think the writing is on the wall... he is not an NFL caliber player.

Harbaugh on Lockette this offseason: "There’s something special there. I just feel it."
LOL
49er fans were talking about how Lockette was going to be awesome this year because he is Kaepernick's roommate.

yeah Marvin and NinerBuff, I'm with you on your points.Marvin49":u6zj53ja said:
I do think Lockett experiment is over, specially with Baldwin being bigger, just as fast, has more talent. As for Seneca, his mobility in the pistol formation is a plus. BJ lit up KC and I think he's doing that in practice - otherwise why is Seneca being hired?

LOL.
Remember Ricardo "The Rocket" Lockette at the ESPYS? Because I sure do. Some star he is.

I don't know any 49er fans that were seriously expecting much from Lockette this year. I expected him to MAYBE be on the practice squad.
I DID however think we'd see better play from Colt McCoy.

So Channel 83 is, once again, taken off the air?
If you gotta use colors and shapes to dumb down an NFL playbook, it is not a good sign.

Yeah, this is sort of funny that after all the talk, Lockette gets cut (at least temporarily.) But, I actually don't like that Jon Baldwin is a 49er. CP was set to be the slightly average QB I think he really is. I don't like seeing an under-achieving WR added there. Hopefully Jon Baldwin is just as ineffective as Lockette was for the Niners.
Go Hawks.

You must suffer from "selective reading" then. There were plenty of SF here singing the praises of the "rocket" and how he and the Kraeper had a connection. Your favorite coach was also talking him up like a superstar! Oops!Marvin49":2d6hnmdf said:

Yeah, Harbaugh's comments on Lockette look pretty funny, now.

Well...
1) The key to my statement was the word "SERIOUSLY".
There are 49er fans right now that are talking about Baldwin as a perfect #2 WR. They are nuts. I just kinda discount those guys right off the bat.2) Harbaugh does that with ALL players. The best thing to do when Harbaugh is talking about the skill of his players is simply not listen. Why? He uses the press to defend his players and build their confidense. Did you hear him talk about AJ Jenkins last year? He really doesn't give 2 sh*ts about what the media or anyone else thinks of him. he uses the media to achieve a goal. Sometimes that goal is to make himself the issue so the press leaves the player alone and sometimes its to give the player a boost. Bottom line....don't listen to Harbaugh when he talks about players. He is using the press to accomplish a goal. Being truthful is a distant second in his mind to using the press to gain some small advantage.

When I saw Lockette sitting there at the ESPYs, I cracked up...he hasn't done jack squat in the NFL, and yet there he was next to Bicep Kisser trying to look like he is something special.
Too funny...and Harbaugh's comments are classic.

I will go on record saying I thought Lockette's work with Kaep would have paid dividends for his chances, especially with the lack of production from AJ and the injury to Crab. Now, I wasn't expecting a huge output, more in the mold of Josh Morgan 2 years ago.
