With the season now under way and a victory under wraps we are pleased to present once again, The Eddie Awards, where after each game we had out the award to players and plays that best deserve them.
The Eddie for the best dynamic duo goes to Walt Harris and Nate Clements for shutting down Boldin and Fitzgerald.
The Eddie for the player who was everywhere on the field and seemed to be in on every player goes to Patrick Willis.

The Eddie for the player most likely to say ‘Look Ma, No Hands’ goes to Darrell Jackson.
The Eddie for the player most likely to raise his hand goes to Brandon Williams.
The Eddie for the hit of the day goes to Patrick Willis for sticking the crap out of Matty Leinart.
The Eddie for ballsy call of the day goes to OC Hostler who called for a deep pass on 4th and 1, which setup the game winning touchdown.
The Eddie for the player(s) who fooled us during preseason goes to Manny Lawson and Brandon Moore.
The Eddie for player most likely never to set foot on the field again goes to Kwame Harris who was inactive for the game not a week after losing his starting spot.

Your favored player is Steve Young? And Alex Smith? What you smokeing boy? Next year this time Smith will be ...
I agree with your comments. Finally someone who gets it. You're a niner fan I actually agree with.(I hate most ...
These are great awards!
We need Taller receivers! Bigger targets! Our receiver are too small and are having a hard time! They can’t get open, or seperate themselves from the corners!
The receivers do no have that height advantage! Get up for the high ball!
vote for Patrick willis for rookie of the week at this link
http://www.nfl.com/partner?partnerType=rookies
come on guys adrian peterson has 42% of the votes while willis has 39%…with last nights game he totally deseves it
i just want to say that Willis is now at 47% while adrian peterson is at 35%…lets keep showin our support throughout the week and show willis how much we loved his dominate play on MNF
We have a taller receiver. His name Ashley Lelie and he had 1 play from scrimmage?!?!?! I know Jacobs is a Nolan favorite, but sorry, he dropped the only ball thrown his way. Time to give Lelie a chance.
The official scorer jobbed Willis. I re-watched the game and I got about 14 tackles. Nolan said in his press conference the coaches counted 15.
Thats funny!!The league is now trying to cheat Willis out of tackles!!!Can they get anymore lower!
Does anyone know if Ray McDonald played at all.I didnt take notice if he did or not.
tel me how the patriots got caught cheating…and people were comparing tom brady to Joe montana…hell id look like joe montana if my coach told me exactly what play the defense was goin to play…thats bull how they been video tapin the defensive play calls…i think billichik be suspended for 1 full year the patriots be on postseason probation for two years and no draft picks this year
Quick fantasy question…and this one is going to hit our division. I have Reggie Brown as one of my receivers ( my bottom feeder receiver), but Deion Branch just hit the waiver wire…should I pick him up???
props to our defense as a whole. the secondary was amazing. the linebacking core was pretty good. if patrick willis wasn’t there then i think it wouldn’t have been so good. i didn’t see TBC get in the backfield once. manny lawsom was alright. but our dline was horrible. the only pass rush we got all night was on blitzes. very disappointed. if we didn’t run the 3-4 we never would’ve gotten pressure.
who cares about the patriots.. i’m sure they arent the only team who has spies on the field. they wont be penalized at all probably. at most a 7th round pick. but dont be suprised if they dont get penalized at all. anyway back to the niners…. the eddy to brandon williams, is that referring to him fair catching punts?? if so i’d rather have him do that then muff the damn thing. i’m sorry, but i grew up watching Dexter Carter returning kickoffs and punts. I used to cringe everytime the ball was kicked to him. he’d either muff the punt or fumble during the return. Anyone else remember that ass clown.
there should be an eddie for aligator arms. my vote goes to d-jax. he hella pussed out on a couple plays. he saw the safety or the linebacker and he would just let the ball fly by without an effort to catch it. he got cracked anyway, he might as well have caught the damn ball. then he drops that one in the endzone at the end too.
I’m just glad we won the game.
Ok men, here is a VERY valid question to you all and it is about the Patriots. What IF the Pats lose multiple draft picks and one of them is the one that we gave them for Staley…would we get our pick back??? Wishful thinking…maybe, but it COULD happen.
jerry, I don’t think McDonald suited up. If I’m not mistaken, they only went with five DLs and McDonald sat for the game, along with the guy they picked up last week.
Willis will be Rookie of the year. Him or Jacoby Jones! Willis I think will go down as one of the most dominating receivers in history. The guy is at every play. He always there.
Correction,I mean the best linebackers in history. I have receivers in my mind as a concern on our team.
Bring back the throwbacks. We need the 81 uniforms for good. Those uniforms looked sharp and classy. When we changed from the 81 throwbacks it was like changing the traditional Yankee uiniforms. That team has kept its tradition and it’s uniforms the same. We need to keep the winning tradition the same. Please 49ers go back to the 81 style uniforms!
the players even looked big and bader! They looked like the 49ers of old!
I would keep the 81 uniforms exactly the same, but I would change the face shield to the red of that time! Keep everything exactly the same thing except the shield color. Do not change anything else!
If the face mask color stayed the same, then thats cool too! Just bring back those 81′ uniforms the exact same way they were on the Monday night game!
The 94′ uniforms were ugly, white pants, the currents are really nice, but like I said we need to keep the Bill Walsh tradition alive forever. Would the yankee fans like if they changed from their longlived tradition uniforms. they kept it old school, they kept the original style! To me thats class and tradition. Bring back the 81′ uni’s!(The same!)
my concerns lie with the lambs-not uniform-let’s keep the same physical mentality and open the playbook up a little bit for cripe’s sake-memo to nolan:start lelie now!enough with the mind game’s already-put the speedy sob in!
I think its safe to say our defense is badass.
I think the award for most over looked and underated team goes to the 49ers.oh by the way were at the top of the devision.
“hit of the day goes to Patrick Willis for sticking the crap out of Matty Leinart”
and this was a LEGAL hit with NO flags, even though his offensive linemen needed to defend him afterwards! Smart rookie means great play! Thank you Nolan for knowing how great this kid can be….Keep it up and no injuuries for everyone!!!!
Staley, I forgive your missed block…don’t let it happen again, LOL!
