Right now, it's almost 1:30 in the morning. As an imsomniac, I normally watch a lot of late night T.V, but since I've been watching the same sports center show for almost 3 hours, I've decided to put better use of my time.

Looking ahead, there needs to be some real changes for the niners to be successful.The first offseason move, as is done with most teams in a rebuilding phase is to hire a head coach. Unlike most teams however, we have a great head coach right now. Singletary will establish a tough physical team, and will not only bring in guys that want to win, but is also the type of guy that players want to win for. Unless we can find guy like Bill Cowher or Marvin Lewis, there would be a better guy out there. On top of that, we need to dump Mike Martz. Look, he can claim how much he likes Frank Gore, but when he isn't even averaging 20 carries a game and isn't even on the field for the final play, you could tell he thinks he can turn us into the greatest show on turf. The reality is, we need an offensive coordinate would will pound the rock and focus on short passes and create a ball control offense. As for defense, I think we need to become a 4-3 again. Keys to a successful 3-4 include a great NT (hard to find) and 2 freak athletes at OLB(lawson is great but his size is a concern.) By moving back to a 4-3, it not only gives us more support up front, but allows lawson to move to a 4-3 OLB, where he would have more success.

The next move rebuilding teams typically do is cut washed up or vets. The niners list will include walt harris, barry sims, jonas jennings, tony wragge, jt o'sullivan, aubrayo franklin, and tully banta-cain. Players such as Ray McDonald and Ronald Field need to be cut do to their terrible attitudes. Solid vets that need to be cut because we need to move on include Jeff Ulbrich, Takeo Spikes, and Issac Bruce. Though a lot of those 12 players have been positive additions to the team this year, it would be in our best interest to gain as much youth as possible.

The most pressing needs of the niners after those moves should be QB, RT, BLT, 2OG, 2 DT, and CB.

QB- I think our best option in a draft, where I feel the only franchise QB will be a top 2 pick, is to get Shaun Hill, Alex Smith(assuming he'll take a pay cut, if not CUT HIM) a 4th or 5th round pick, and possibly a young guy to trade for (John Beck, Brian Brohme, ect.) Like I mentioned earlier, we don't need a game winner, just a game manager.

RT- Staley has been solid at LT and is getting better, but RT is still a major issue. Barry Sims and Jonas Jennings have been horrible and Syder is a back-up at best. We need a real run blocker here. An option, Andre Smith from Alabama. Look, I know that RT is not the most important position, but successful franchise show that picking the best player typically works better than picking the need. And though Little Davis would be a better pick as CB is a large need, take Smith, as he is a #1 pick in some draft, and would help both the run and pass offense drastically.

BLT- We need a back up incase Staley gets hurt. A fith rounder should be ideal to fit that role.

OG- A major weakness in our team is the guards. We do have some solid youth in Davis Baas and Chilo Rachael, but adding some depth in FA or a late draft pick wouldn't be a bad idea.

DT- Although statistcally, we are not that bad against the run, we normally get man handled at the line. This is a postion where we could sign a big FA, such as Albert Haynesworth, or trade a pick to get a later first rounder where there are plenty or legit guys.

CB- Harris is done and it appears shawnte spencers may not pan out to who we thought he would be. We need to do something about our #2 CB. Nnamdi is a FA, but I don't think any CB not named Champ Baily should be making more than a LT, no offense to Lockdown 22. Looking at the draft, a second round pick should be a good time to add that number two guy Alfonso Smith, Darius Bulter, and Kevin Barnes are all possiblities.

Overlook on other positions. Though the pass rush is not that good, A real DT could solve that. And when Lawson is 100%, Rodick Green, Amhad Brookes, and Parys Haralson eastablish a little consistancy, and Justin Smith beasts it up like he is doing this year, we should be pretty go.

Though I will always remain hopeful that things will change, it is never to early to think about next year. Go NINERS and it is now 2:20 and I'm too tired to spell check so if it is bad, 1 comment is enough to get the point across. Thank you.
