Golden Nuggets: No, it doesn't make sense. Not at all.

by James Brady on Nov 21, 2009 3:00 AM PST in 49ers Links

It's Saturday and I'm pumped. The game tomorrow should be really good, I honestly can't wait. I really wish I had a dependable car so I could just up and take a road trip and talk a whole lot of trash to some Packer fans. Anyway, and I mean no disrespect to the 49ers, but from the time after I post this until tomorrow morning I won't be thinking about the 49ers a whole lot as I'm going to be busy tonight watching UFC 106. Still, I'm excited for the game right now and I should be plenty until it starts. I'm so starved for 49ers conversation I walked down to 7-11 about fifteen minutes ago so I could talk to the guy there who works overnight who I happen to know is a 49er fan. And yeah, it's 1 AM right now so that's dedication, mind you. I have a couple links for you, not as many as yesterday though. I'll get to 'em.

WR Michael Crabtree is legitimately bothered by his two drops this season. He says it keeps him up at night sometimes. That's pretty rough. (SFGate.com)

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no, never. "Does the 4-3 make any sense?" For the 49ers? No, no it does not. Not at all. Don't want it, not ever. Also disagree with a lot of what is said within the article. (SFGate.com)

The 49ers have their eyes on a couple of Green Bay's key players on defense. (SacBee.com)

The Niners hope to get back to .500 tomorrow with a win, all the while looking to get better. (SFGate.com)

After only a couple games, it must say something about Michael Crabtree in that he's already the 49ers top WR on the depth chart. (MercuryNews.com)

the 4-3

if Manusky leaves town, I’m ok with the team moving to a 4-3 defense again. The way the DC has our defense finally getting comfortable with a 3-4 means it’s got to be around as long as he is.

Patrick Willis in a 4-3 would be freakin’ scary though. Two giant DTs eating up blockers for Bamm Bamm? Yikes.

The personell seems more suited for it...

and they could probably ease into the 4-3 a lot quicker than they have the 3-4.

Well, we're waiting....

hmmm...

with the current personnel we have, would it be:
DE: J. Smith, Haralson,
DT: Soap, Franklin, Mcdonald, Balmer
ILB: Willis, Spikes
OLB: Spikes, Lawson, Wilheim?

Who would back up the DEs?

Eh.

DE: Justin Smith, Haralson (Soap, Jean-Francois)
DT: Franklin, McDonald (Balmer, Soap, Jean-Francois)
ILB: Willis (Spikes, McKillop)
LOLB: Lawson (Brooks)
ROLB: Briggs? (Brooks)

You can never resist the game... nor could I... we're the same, so don't even try.

Weren't they trying Balmer...

at OLB? You could make him a hybrid LB/DE in the elephant, or maybe using Brooks in that spot. Franklin and McD inside at DT with Smith lining up on either side at DE?

The 49ers can run the 4-3 with what they have.

Well, we're waiting....
