Agree - then hopefully we can win win win win :)

Yeah. I like Whites ability, but his availability shows we can't depend on him being there. Austin, could be something though for returns. Heck, I would think that would make Richie James expendable.

We need Austin for returns. If our special teams improve which it will with him we are the best team in the nfl

I think so too. James was great and didn't fumble anything until the superbowl. I think having Austin back there is a legitimate threat. If we can get better on Field Position on both sides of the ball, that's going to put less pressure on our offense and defense and who knows how that impacts the game.

So excited for the next few weeks to see who makes the team.

Austin has had his fair share of muffed punts. I've been traumatized so I actually prefer the 'fair catcher/3 yards per return' guy that can confidently catch the ball over a guy that is an adventure back there, whether good or bad.

I thought about that too but as we all know I love muff so bring on Austin

Exactly. Niners already get favorable field position because of their defense. In fact, the offense was 3rd in the NFL in starting field position if pro football reference is correct. That's more than good enough. Fair catch/3 yards on a punt sounds fine to me too.

Thats why i have no issues with Richie back there, reliable

Moving on up

We need this guy to stay healthy. He could be the X factor. Hes got the talent to be the best receiver on the team. He just needs to prove himself durable. Kyle might know he found a diamond in the rough.

Surprise make over Jennings. Richie back on the team to fair catch.

Greg Papa seems to really like what he sees in him at camp

I really hope Dante Pettis takes him over. At least in the games we are leading by a lot of points put in Dante Pettis at punt returns so he doesn't screw it up if he fumbles or muffs the punt. He's electric so it's about time he assumes that role.

I am sick and tired of watching James fair catch or run out of bounds he is absolutely worthless. Those people that say they're OK with him being just a safe guy don't want to push this team over the edge with special teams I guess. That's all we need and we are the best team in the NFL if we improve on special teams teams

One less person to beat now with Austin down. Bummer... I liked Austin better.

So I guess White made it and proved me wrong, good for him!!!

Hope so

I'm glad he's on the PS

Not sure I'd want him taking a roster spot but I'm glad he's still around

Sometimes WRs develop late. Look at Perriman... he was a first round bust who bounced around teams. Then got a shot at the right time after a few years and showed he can actually play in the league.
