Allen Robinson. as stated in my signature below. Mock drafts have us taking him if we win the SB. I Think a 6'3 guy tha almost hits 40 in.'s on his vertical and runs in the 4.4 mid range is what we need to be dynamic and dominant in the passing game. I saw him a little here ane there and remembered him from watching college fb this year but i really looked into him once i saw that we have a chance at gettin him. The same mock draft had san fran taking a 6'0 wr that runs a 4.35. Even though he was giving a higher draft rating, i hope if he is still available along with Robinson we take Rob. If you guys would like to look into him i believe his name is Odelle Beckham jr(might be becket or something of that sort, and i am sure i mispelled). I dont know if he has a higher draft status or if Jerimiah was guessing what better fits the 49ers and the Hawks.
I really believe with a healthy Percy Harvin aside Tate, Baldwin, and Allen Robinson with Kearse thrown in of course and a constantly improving RW3 we could be a top 5 offense. Could you imagine how efficient Beastmode would run with a potent passing game.
I really hope Kearse stays in the lineup. He makes so many clutch deep catchs and Russ seems to really trust him down field and of course Its cool knowing someone that dates a hawk. Aside from the fumbled return back when he was doing returns he has caught nearly every catchable ball thrown in his direction. Of course he made it up with a td catch in that tampa comeback.
Back to what this section of the site is about.
I really think we should strengthen our o-line, I am really interested how Carpenter grows into his new role, he was a 1st rounder for christ sake. And yes we have great/promising pieces and I am aware of how our guys were shuffled and injured and how lines need chemistry but this year was unacceptable. I cant quote the numbers off recalection but we were among the worst of protecting our qb, and the worst 2/3 way through the season. And this was all with the best QB in the league at avoiding sacks!
The funny thing is I saw the best production before we got Okung and either Unger or Breno G back. Once they had got used to eachother and put the pieces in correctly, mainly getting rid of the god AWFUL Paul Mquistan at LT or anywhere for that matter(sp?) he has a culminative pass block rating of -27.6 at LT rated by PFT or FO. I would say stop paying okung if he was even averaging -3 to put in perspective. Though what I was seeing could of been a lack of pass rush because i believe I recall them playing really good for one game before we started slowly getting the pieces back.
Even though Breno Giac plays good, i think we need to cut him. Straight up cut. I HATE that we are the most penalized team, i would hate to be in the top 10 even. Most the time a team with a penalty problem points to bad coaching, but i know thats not the case. Pete is great. It must be that we are such a young team.
But a great strart to not being the team getting the most of those wretched POS flags would be to get rid of the guy that leads his position in penalty flags in the ENTIRE NFL. Im tired of seeing Marshawn bust a 15 yarder on an already bad day for him just for it to be called badk on a hold on the opposite side of the line. And the false starts, which I am pretty sure he leads the NFL in, or very close. Not to mention he is a dirty player, i like the tenacity and the attitude but he took that 49er d-lineman outfor the season by breaking his ankle on one of those "controversial" dive chop blocks, cant remember the term.
If we strengthen our wide core. Get improved O line production next season. Than i think we have a decision, get a TE that can catch that we can teach to block or put our chips in with Luke wilson. I say we give him a year to possibly have a cheaper Zac miller (we pay him in the same range as Harvin, overpaid) i know he is a phenom at blocking but he isnt doing what Cable got from him in Oakland. I actually think TE is fine if we are getting Anthony McCoy back healthy like he was.
Which in my mind leaves us with the D-line. We got some major guys across the D that are going to need to be payed a lot more. We have to keep all the main LOB and LB core. We obviously are going to have to make our D line every down starter guys. Which i think needs to be Bennet Avril on the outside, and Mebane, Red, and Mcdaniel. I say D-line cause we simply will not be able to afford the array of rushers we have, luckily we seem to have a few key guys rising to the top. I love clemmons but avril is just too amazing, game altering play almost every game. Hes 3rd all time in strip sacks and he is active, 6 of his 8 sacks were strips. And Bennet is phenomenal. His versatility alone being able to play any spot. He and Avril are rated #2 and #5 by FO in generating pressure from theDE spot. Which leaves me to my point, like we have produced stars in the the D backfield for cheap; we need to achieve that in the trenches as well, on both sides. It isnt a coincidence Carroll finding db's with Shnieder, he is a xDB coach.
Aside from those facets of the team it is really to difficult to say, aside from a few obvious guys like we dont know who Carrol and Shnied will keep due to cap restrictions.
Does anyone else think Sherm might want a massive contract and possibly we can avoid that for a year or so by franchising him. He thinks he is the best corner, he is right, and with him wanting to get paid like it, and Darrelle Reevis' massive paid too much contract it scares me. Everyone who pays attention knows he and Reevis hate eachother. Rich may want to not only out-do him on the field, but in his contract. Cause a team will probably be willing to pay him that. Which we would get the curteous gesture of the oppurtunity to match and we might not be able to. It would be the Walter Jones thing allover again, and i dont want us to lose a great player because we didnt give him The Tag.
Not to mention i think it would be cheaper. I am told it is an average of the top 3 contracts in that given position. With Reevus slightly over 10mil(12-13?trying to remember) and the others around 8-9 it would be a mill. or two under Reevus'.
Sorry, pretty long, haven't been on The .net in awhile and had an abundance on my mind.
Just my 2 cents
