49ers Sign CB Karl Paymah

Fooch's Note: Any thoughts on Paymah?  Camp body or someone who can compete with Tarell Brown and company for legit playing time outside the base 3-4?

I don't know much about the guy...  Probably just adding more depth again.  Sing is obviously confident in the team he fields on a weekly basis.  Makes the draft even more intriguing.

From 49ers.com

The San Francisco 49ers announced on Wednesday that they have signed free agent CB Karl Paymah to a one-year deal.

Paymah (6-0, 195) enters his sixth NFL season after originally being drafted in the third round (76th overall) by the Denver Broncos in 2005. Paymah has played in 72 career games (seven starts) and has registered 67 tackles, three interceptions, two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble and 14 passes defensed. He spent his first four seasons with the Broncos before signing with Minnesota, in 2009. Paymah played in 12 games (two starts) and recorded 14 tackles as well as 11 special teams tackles last season.

We can expect a lot of these hires, we are like a poor man's Patriots.

I think yall are going at him 2 hard

maybe he just need 2 be coached up he was taking in the 3rd round so someone saw some talent in him. And even though his stats are not over whelming he does manage 2 be around the ball ,we had roman at safety and i know its a different position but roman could’nt buy a play or pic ,but this dude looks like at the least he can make good special team plays so lets give a little break.

I think you are missing my point, so I will elaborate.

A poor man’s Patriots would be a good point. Get guys with the skill set to match our scheme, instead of over paying for names.

Agreed

The concept of having a system with interchangeable parts and a few superstars is how the football dynasties work, and the Patriots are a good example of this. I don’t know anything about Paymah, but the idea of non-geriatric depth at a skill position with experience is very appealing.

Thank you and if you look at

his short bio he is always around the ball ,were not asking him to come in here and be a shut down corner.But we are asking him 2 be a piece of the puzzle we have one of THE BEST DC and i trust him to put this dude in a position were he can succeed.

by jayjonna415 on Mar 17, 2010 5:34 PM PDT up reply actions  

I have to question how great the DC is at personnel. He let that bum CB cover a rookie man to man and was toasted.

dont like

this signing. this guy was not too solid for the vikings last year and if you ask some vikings fans about him, they will seriously tear him apart. i hope he only goes in at corner during dime/quarter packages.

He should at least fill the special teams hole that hudson left though. he wasnt too bad on that front

I have little faith in the opinion of Vikings fans lets give the guy a fair shot

by eldingo on Mar 17, 2010 10:32 PM PDT up reply actions  

He'd be a fine 4th corner behind Brown, Spencer and Clements

upgrade over Hudson (no disrespect intended) but he’ll probably still be on the roster bubble come end of training camp, especially if we draft a CB, which I really think we will

by foosball4949 on Mar 17, 2010 3:01 PM PDT reply actions  

Yours looks like the best assessment of him

Mainly a body to fill the 4th corner spot while we’re developing whomever we end up drafting. On an upside, he apparently has never been cut in preseason. I would think that makes him a viable talent.

He made Crabtree INFAMOUS singlehandedly.

Brown is not that good to me. He has some upside, but I don’t expect him to be a starter, he whiffs on tackles, that’s why i don’t see how people like him and didn’t want Chromartie.

Thank you it just shows how media is east-coast bias

because as soon as this trade went down NFL live and mark schlereth said they had the best 2 shut down corners in the NFL. Im like this dude is such a finess player he can’t tackle right ( and lets not get into the baby-mama-drama ) he had a break out year but that new york media is going 2 turn on him quiker than a doberman pincher when they see how this dude whiffs on tackles lol.

Cromartie maybe was too thick-headed.

Hey i don't no dude that much

but what i read right there and what i take from that is that this dude is a ball magnet and a playmaker that was a real nice pick-up and if this dude plays good i can see him challenging 4 that three spot.

by jayjonna415 on Mar 17, 2010 3:50 PM PDT reply actions  

No because when the Vikings starting corner went down he wasn't the replacement.

They had holes in their secondary and he didn’t play much. The Broncos CB’s aside from Bailey aren’t that good and he was released, so no I don’t see it. DO you?

Sorry 4 taking 2 long 2 respond(went 2 the store 4 wifey )

but lott i remember reading about scott mcillop and they were saying he’s slow in space and really isnt a good practice player but when he’s in the game he’s a ball magnet.And when i read some of his career stats he gets force fumbles he gets pass deflections so you can tell he’s a impulse player and those force fumblesand pass deflections add 2 turnovers.He may not be good in space but he could be a good situanational players so maybe thats what the niners are looking at.

by jayjonna415 on Mar 17, 2010 5:12 PM PDT reply actions  

His statistics match what some players do in a season. I am not expecting him to be more than a 4th CB or ST player though.

His numbers aren’t eye popping, Goldson had more FF’s in one year than he has had in 5 or 6. All around the ball? I don’t think so, otherwise he would have kept his job on the Vikings who will be entering the season with their best CB rehabbing.

Plus when did minnesota fans opinions

been worth anything what have they won lately what have they won period there still bitter from coughing up a superbowl appearance .If minnesota had a track record or a history of winning i would put there opinions up there but there history is known 4 choking even though i would listen 2 there opinions i would’nt put them up there if it was coming from pittsburg or even dallas or the patriots he played 4 2 teams that has’nt won jack in about ten years so there opinions i would take with a grain of salt.

by jayjonna415 on Mar 17, 2010 5:44 PM PDT reply actions  

I understand

But minnesota did go far last year,And they have always fielded a good secondary.Second they do have talented coaches.I do agree he will only be a great special teamer,as well as a fourth corner,while we develope a great corner hopefully haden or wilson.still a solid pick up at a great price.Did we not need some solid play on special teams?maybe a change to cali will ignite some fire and he might surprise us.

by dannyboy3 on Mar 17, 2010 6:22 PM PDT reply actions  

I Agree

We have made some weak offseason moves R.Lott ,but i think we want to pick up alot of our talent from the draft.the niners did a pretty good job of that in the eighties,right.Montana,rice,board,lott,craig,taylor,jones,But i am still waiting to see some of are pieces fit togather.we have a lot riding on the play of alex smith,and he is no montana or even elvis grbac.hope two years with same coordinator proves me wrong butwe shall see.remember those niners had the best defense,lets not forget Haley,eric davis,merton hanks,Bryant young,stubblefeild,we did add some talent through free agency,ken norton,plummer,mccoy,deion(1year)sanders.so as we see it takes several good drafts to create what we had .Lets give them some time and another good draft or two before we ask for yorks head,and singualtary a couple more seasons to bring back that fire we used to have

For the amount of time he actually played his stats look fairly good

27 tackles, 2 PD, 1 FF

Definitely an improvement over Marcus Hudson’s play

yeah i don't understand what all the panty wringin is about

the guy will be the gunner on ST to replace hudson. He isn’t great—he’s a body who has some skills. He probably wont play much in the secondary outside of emergency situations.

by 11allstar on Mar 17, 2010 8:09 PM PDT up reply actions  

If we draft Mays

We may run sets with extra DB’s more frequently. So that alone makes this a good acquisition.

by goatpapi on Mar 17, 2010 7:03 PM PDT reply actions  

I Like The Signing

we have to assume he was brought in to replace Marcus Hudson, if that is the case it is without a doubt an upgrade over Hudson. When you can upgrade at any position on the 53 man roster it is a positive. We have done that twice this 0ff-season

Carr+ Paymah= Upgrade over Hill+Hudson And that is a good thing

I'm watching the two games he started last year

on the Pittsburgh game right now. He’s actually got great coverage but appears timid in run support. He looks like he’s afraid to tackle—as Deon says he’s making a “business decision” every time. He got sent on a CB blitz and didn’t even hit the RB, just tried to dance around him.

Like I said his coverage skills are really good though.
