SANTA CLARA – This is what LaMichael James said at his locker Tueaday afternoon.
Q: Do you feel like you’re game ready?
JAMES: Yeah, I feel like I can go out there and help the team, which I prepare for each and every week. Hopefully I can pull out a spark.
Q: What have you been doing the past two weeks in practice?
JAMES: I pretty much do everything on the scout team. I’m at receiver. I’m at running back – whatever the team needs me to do, I’m always going to do it. I feel like I’m athletic to do pretty much anything.
Q: How often were you asked to pass protect at Oregon?
JAMES: I actually was not pass protecting very much. The first time I ever really did it a lot was when I got here.
Q: How difficult is that?
JAMES: It’s not that bad. You have to go in there and give effort, put your head in there and see what you can do. It’s not that hard. Obviously, I’m outmanned because I’m not 230 pounds, but I feel I can get the job done if I’m scrappy enough.
Q: When you look at the games when you’re down on the sideline, what do you see? What are you watching?
JAMES: I just try to look at the holes. I see a lot what Frank does, and I try to imitate him in practice. I just try to read a lot better. Obviously, I was coming from the spread (offense), and now I’m in the I-formation, so a lot of things are different. I’m just trying to learn on the go.
Q: Coach indicated on the radio today that you’re probably going to get some playing time coming up. Has that been communicated to you at all?
JAMES: No, it hasn’t at all.

BASG BLOG has Harbaugh doing a real acting role on ‘Saved by the Bell’. So,whats the deal with his BS about “Is that how you do things in California”. He’s hip.
And..the 49ers offense talks between games like its a dynamo..then gametime we get more Singletary reminders. Gore up the middle…
Here is the Harbs vid. Hilarious: http://www.ninersnation.com/2012/12/4/3728048/jim-harbaugh-saved-by-the-bell-video
Mike #2 – That was hilarious man! Screech “being Harbaugh.” Classic!
That was the nerdiest facemask I’ve ever seen, worn by the nerdiest human I’ve ever seen.
Two things come to mind when watching that.
1. So glad we’re out of that decade.
2. Jim Harbaugh probably just threw up and he doesn’t know why.
I bet- Harbaugh figured 15 minutes and it will be forgotten forever. Then YouTube came into being..
Don’t worry about any of that blocking or pass protection stuff LMJ. Maybe you’ve never done it before but just sleep at a Holiday Inn the night before and it will be okay.
LOL
I know we are all dying to see what LJM can do, but lets not forget he didn’t have any “wow” plays in the Preseason. Hopefully he has taken the next step just like Kaep did (since preseason). We could use some outside speed.
He was completely lost in the preseason. I wasn’t even disappointed when he wasn’t activated. He didn’t know the offense snd how to respond to defenders. I hope he’s got a better feel for the game now.
Got to remember LMJ didnt get to camp until somewhere late in June. He is a special player, not sure if he is heavy enough/strong enough to do the job. Checkdowns, running outside, screen passes I would think be his strong point. Fly sweeps and run option with CK could be dynamite.
A lot of Twitter activity tonight suggesting that James will be getting some action on Sunday.
Depends on how well he can pick up blitzes. If he can’t the 49ers will be locked into a run anytime he’s on the field.
