Had chance to geek out on NFL Sirius today and I thought I would pass on a few notables to you.

… Nobody seems to worried about the Rashard Mendenhall injury since it is early. It is not a good sign but if you are going to tweak something, tweak it in May.

… According to Tim Hasselbeck (yep the backup QB turned Sirius guy), J.T. O’Sullivan could be the dark horse to snag the 49er’s starting gig. Two reasons; first, he’s been working in Martz’s system for a few years now - Alex Smith and Shaun Hill have not. Second, Martz has been on record stating his love for J.T. and thinks he has the ability to perform in the NFL. Stay tuned.

… During a Rex Grossman discussion Tim Hasselbeck mentioned that, struggling QB’s love playing on the road. He cited his brother Matt as being an example when he was struggling in Seattle he longed for the away games because he new if he struggled early, the fans wouldn’t be all over him. He also thought that Eli Manning was great example of this last year. Not sure how much this means in the scope of things but it is a small thing to consider when picking a guy to start for your team on a given week or if you are putting a few bucks on the outcome of a game.

… LaDanian Tomlinson says his knee feels good after participating in min-camp drills. Also, in the biggest news of the day, there was an announcement by HC Norv Turner saying that LT will not be getting carries in th pre-season again.

… Shaun Alexander is scheduled to visit the Saints. Are they trying to tell us something about Deuce McAllister’s status?
