I CALLED IT!!!! (Sort of.....)
Courtesy of Matt Maioco (who has a ridiculously detailed rundown of Saturday's scrimmage)- Coach Nolan announced Patrick Willis' promotion to starting Mike. Unfortunately this was at the cost of Brandon Moore, last year's defensive anchor and the spark that really turned the defense around after he replaced Jeff Ulbrich in the starting lineup.
In fact, I'm going to double down and say that this is actually a motivational ploy by Nolan to fire up Moore, who's play thus far through training camp and 2 bullsh....uh, I mean "exhibition" games has not been up to the level he set last year. Hopefully bitch-made Brandon Moore (going up against VD)
returns to being Defensive-Player-of-the-Week Brandon Moore (#56):
I wouldn't be surprised to watch Moore turn it up a couple notches before 9-10-07 and replace Derek Smith in the lineup. He is too fast, too talented, and too smart to be sitting on the bench. Congratulations to Patrick Willis and look forward to watching him rain hell on the NFL for the next decade.

Whatever the impetus, I certainly hope this move shakes some life into the D -- they looked totally flat on Saturday. No pressure on the QB, and prone to leaving the mid-range pass completely open (though they did have some nice plays on the long-ball).
Not exactly encouraging, considering the pain and suffering brought on by the outstanding D we put on the field last year.
On a positive note, Nedney looks great.
