Riddle me this, NFL Batman -When is a 53-man roster not a 53-man roster? Answer - when the 2025 49ers turn it into one giant, ever-changing Rubik's Cube. I'd be all ready to Jock Blog about the '25 Niners and their readiness for Week 1 at Seattle on Sept. 7 . . . except I'm still not sure who the '25 Niners are. Still ...

We have all taken a breath, not seen the Giants since last Sunday against the Dodgers (ouch!) and are ready to storm Toronto on Friday with a whole new outlook.
