| Anelli Losing Out August 23 2002 By Bryan Hersh of 49ers Paradise THIS CONTENT IS COPYWRITED, REDISTRIBUTION OF IT (including copy/pasting it to a message board, forum or bbs) IS PROHIBITED AND COULD RESULT IN LEGAL ACTIONS - feel free to quote up to 1 paragraph providing a source link to http://www.49ersparadise.cjb.net is included Mark Anelli may miss the chance of making the 49ers roster. The tight end has yet to prove to the 49ers that he can beat out Justin Swift who is the front runner for the spot behind starter Eric Johnson. Anelli may find a spot on the 49ers practice squad. With Swift essentially securing the spot behind Johnson, with good blocking and solid hands, it pretty much finalizes the position. Baring injury of course, Ben Steele and Anelli will likely be released.
The rookie, Anelli looked like he could be a good tight end in the NFL, but he simply isn’t ready yet. A good blocker with decent hands, and the ability to find soft spots in the opposition’s defense, Anelli would be a great project for the team. It’s for that reason that he could find himself on the 49ers practice squad - providing of course Johnson and Swift remain healthy.
