When they do film breakdown if his potential was beginning to look like only that: potential. If so, credit the front office for not holding onto a guy just because he was drafted and had a cool name for a blocking TE. If he’s not one of the best 53 (or even PS 8), better the spot go to someone more able to contribute.

A few short weeks ago there was a pole amongst niner fans that talked abour who would be the starting TE and get more playing time.

The sad part is a great % of the people thought Bear would surpass Davis.

This just goes to show you the number of morons that exist on the site.

What a joke.

While I do agree with this I feel Sheets was a special case in this area.

I attend Purdue making me somewhat of a homer, but what Joe Tiller did to this kid and the three draft classes before his was absolutely horrendous.

I don’t know what kind of coach it takes to not only not speak on behalf of his graduates, but actually badmouth some of them into not being drafted but he was that guy. I mean Dorien Bryant was the all time leading receiver in the Big 10 and didnt wind up even getting drafted because of Tiller’s ridiculousness.

Many teams radars before falling into obscurity due to his own coach telling teams he wasn’t a good investment…which to me is absolutely crazy.

Good thing the niners got him on the PS cause I still think he’s going to be able to contribute more than people thing.

I’m actually kind of shocked no one picked him up to be a 3rd down back! 49ers got pretty lucky here haha

I said it last night: “Aubrayo Franklin needs to decide whether or not he’s going to be [site decorum] good. He’s always good enough for me to not want him gone, but at the same time it’s like augh.” Or something like that.

To see how many games early in the year RJF is on the active 45 list. If he dresses then I certainly expect him to see some playing time, especially short yardage and goal line.

Can’t go to Sheets as it’s likely being kept for the #10 pick. Either he or Spurlock will go once/if he signs. Remember too that contributing on special teams means covering and returning kicks. There’s no evidence that Sheets is good at either.

As for Hudson, keeping a special teams coverage ace is quite important. You can’t sell the team on ST being 1/3 of the game then devalue it by getting rid of Hudson for someone who’s less of a ST player and an avg cover corner (Green) . Remember that AZ let him walk and they gave up more points last year than we did. He’s not much better than Hudson and neither will see much of the field in coverage situation. We have 4 corners plus Smith who will handle that.

1. Robinson is too valuable, Sheets wouldn’t get much playing time or even dress most games. There is a surplus of young rushing talent.

2. Cut a great returner and emergency CB for a rookie fullback? We need one thing out of a fullback this season: crushing run blocker. A bruiser. We have that in Moran Norris. If he gets hurt, we’ll think about bringing Miller up.

3. Agree.

4. Do not agree, Mark Roman is serviceable as a backup SS though I hate to say it. He is my least favorite player. I semi-agree here.

5. Hudson is part of our stellar special teams trio alongside Robinson and Ulbrich. But still, I agree here. But not for Green, for Lambert.

6. Do not agree. Briggs could be a great pass-rusher. If you were gonna drop a LB it’d be Marques Harris. Briggs has too much upside and we should not even consider stunting his growth.

Robinson is a versatile winner. Cutting him makes a football team worse not better.

Rossum or Spurlock will get cut when/if the #10 pick signs.

No one likes Sims but Boone was a turn-style Friday night on pass plays. A year on the PS will do him good.

Roman is still here because he knows the defense and Lewis is having concussion issues. But they were willing to trade him in he offseason so his spot could be tenuous. That they kept Taylor tells me that Roman will not be on the roster next year.

Hudson is not much worse than Greene in coverage and much better on ST. Green couldn’t make it in AZ and their D was worse than ours.

9 LBs might be too much but when you play a 3-4 you’re going to have more LBs than other teams. And Briggs has pass rush potential, something that should never be given away.

1 – I really like Sheets, but I have to go with Ninjames and SpurredOn on this one. Robinson is an underwhelming RB, but we do want a high quality special teams, right?

2 – I do have to say I’d prefer keeping Spurlock to Rossum, but Rossum has been solid for us for a long time.

3 – Cut Sims (horrible) – Replace with either developing Boone or Free Agent Tony Pashos)

4 – Agreed, if we can get some assurance that Michael Lewis is ok.

5 – yep, replace him with Lambert

6 – Cut Harris and bring someone up, replace Harris’s spot on the depth chart with Briggs. Between Lawson and Briggs together, maybe we can get a (site decorum) (site decorum) pass rusher.

Mc Boo Foo is up to his old tricks.

It honestly had to be a transition thing.

When is it time to place all our attention and debates into the AZ opener and overall season predictions?

Every time I provide a counter point to something you say, you seem to only respond with “we clearly disagree, and debating isn’t going to change that. I’m done.”

Are my arguments just not good enough for you? =(
