I hope not.
Save him for the season where he'll make more important contributions during the game.
I always think of Jason Seahorn when I see a top tier player going in on special teams.

Agree, Wally, Just smh at that Seahorn thing. Estupido. Hope we don't do that. Besides, kyle and john both know of the Juice's value to us and there is no need to have him in on STs. (In medical lingo, STS stands for sexually transmitted disease...e.g. clap, syph, and so on.) Was not what i was thinking of.

This is such a weapon...and we had no FB last yr. What a waste. Don't know if we see 72 FB receptions this yr but we ARE going to see a bunch. Sure going to make D's take note and quit putting 8, 9 or 10 guys on LOS. Loading the box is going to be costly for teams trying that this yr. How badly have we needed the right HC and GM for the last 17 yrs?
Well, REALLY badly. But now we got 'em. This is our turn around yr even without a FR QB. Can't wait for PFF to eat its words on us as 32nd D in the league.(front 7)

I can see this guy doing a great deal of damage off of a play action pass and running a wheel or Texas pass route underneath the linebackers. If he's anything like Wrathman as a pass catcher, he'll have 40+ pass receptions easy.

I'll take some of that Smokes. I was impressed wtih the way kyle spread the ball around. No, we don't have a #1 WR, but if hte ball is spread around to 5,6,7 guys, who can argue witht that? If you have Jerry Rice, fine. If not, the more the merrier. And that is undoubtedly what we see this yr...lot of receivers getting action ever game.

Agree
Also it would make game planning against us a lot harder.

I like where you're going w/that.
Hey whatever happened to LVJay, haven't seen him around.
If at first it seemed a bit weird seeing Kyle Juszczyk wearing Tom Rathman's No. 44, it's clear after a few days of training camp that it's actually a perfect fit. Juszczyk is similar in size and skill to the Super Bowl-winning San Francisco fullback.
But in Kyle Shanahan's offensive system, Juszczyk is taking on more responsibilities typical of a tight end, a position he played at Harvard. In fact, former NFL tight end Dallas Clark is the inspiration behind his choosing No. 44 when he was with the Ravens.
"I'm getting a little more work with the tight ends than I had previously," Juszczyk told NBCSportsBayArea.com on Wednesday, shortly after a padded practice under his new head coach. "I had taken some snaps in Baltimore in that sort of tight end position, but I think just a little more so here."
Juszczyk often arrives early to work with assistant head coach Jon Embree, who is also the tight ends coach. He also credits veterans Vance McDonald, Garrett Celek and Blake Bell for teaching him the finer points of the position, much of which is taking place off the field.
"A lot of it has been in the classroom," Juszczyk said. "How to stay on your grind and study and what exactly I'm looking for at tight end."
The value of Juszczyk's grind can't be found on any stat sheet. He has never rushed for more than 15 yards in a game or had more than 56 yard receiving. Touchdowns are also rare -- six in four seasons. San Francisco snatched the 6-foot-1, 240-pounder out of free agency and made him the highest paid fullback in the league in large part because his ability to line up anywhere on the field gives defenses fits.
In the span of just a few plays at practice, Juszczyk caught a pass in isolation against cornerback Will Davis, blocked the much taller and much heavier Aaron Lynch, and disrupted Ahmad Brooks' passrush.
"I have this conversation with Tank [Carradine] every single day," Brooks said about facing Juszczyk. The outside linebacker's job is simple – set the edge, get to the quarterback. The daily conversation with his defensive lineman is how to deal with Juszczyk to accomplish that.
"What Kyle does so well at the fullback position and also in Kyle Shanahan's offense is widen out the edge guys. When they do want to run the ball outside, his angle is so wide to block me. Even in pass situations, his angle is the same way. Sometimes I think that he's going to block me, and he's going out for a pass. Sometimes I think that he's going to go out for a pass, and he's blocking me. He's so good at redirecting on his track and on his angle to where it's kind of confusing me, but he's making me better as a player."
"You have to have a mindset and whether you're going against Ahmad Brooks or Will Davis, you have to bring that same intensity," Juszczyk explained. "It's being able to bring the same intensity every day."
A successful game for Juszczyk is a team victory. He'd also like the running back he's blocking for to top 100 rushing yards, the team to rush for more than 120 yards, and maybe to get a few touches himself.
"I'm never mad if you throw in a couple of receptions for myself," Juszczyk said smiling.
Juszczyk's smile grows bigger when asked about his move to the Bay Area.
"I don't know why I haven't been here my whole life," Juszczyk said. "It's beautiful here. Quality of life has definitely increased, and I couldn't be happier."
