2010 NFL Undrafted Free Agents: LeGarrette Blount reportedly to sign with 49ers; additional reported signings

PrintWe've currently got a running thread providing updates on undrafted free agents, and where they end up around the NFL. In the meantime, as news comes in specifically related to the 49ers, we'll be getting it up on the front page.
I've moved all the details after the jump, and will post the latest "reported" 49ers signings here. Remember that until the 49ers send out an official press release, pen has not been placed to paper, so mostly we're basing this on the word of agents:
LeGarratte Blount, RB, Oregon
Chris Maragos, S, Wisconsin
LeRoy Vann, KR/PR/CB, Florida A&M
Patrick Stoudamire, CB, Western Illinois
Jared Perry, WR, Missouri
Jarrett Brown, QB, West Virginia
Shay Hodge, WR, Mississippi
Scott Long, WR, Louisville
Jason LaCanfora is reporting that Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount is going to sign with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent. I know a lot of folks really liked this kid, even after the opening week fight. That aside, he's an incredibly talented player and should provide some great competition in training camp for last year's 3rd round pick Glen Coffee, and this year's 6th round pick Anthon. Dixon.
Numerous sources have also begun reporting that the 49ers have signed undrafted free agent Chris Maragos, a safety out of Wisconsin. I generally check KFFL.com for info, but a Wisconsin news website is indicating Maragos' agent has informed them of the signing. The 49ers will make it official eventually, but we can get something up for now.
I did some searching and came across a couple scouting reports. The first was brief and from WalterFootball.com last month:
Chris Maragos put on an amazing display at his Pro Day that had scouts buzzing. He's moved himself into draft consideration.
I found more of a scouting report from back in December at Consensus Draft Services:
Strengths
Heady and versatile. Can play offense, defense and valuable on special teams. Just enough size, speed and nastiness to be considered a FS prospect at the next level. Big play hitter and solid tackler. Emotional leader who gives good effort on every snap.Weaknesses
Not real big, and can not play the enforcer role at the next level. Average in pass defense despite adequate technique and understanding of what the opponent is trying to do. Looks like a career nickel back and backup if he makes a roster.
Update: Matt Maiocco is reporting the 49ers have signed Florida A&M return man LeRoy Vann. Here are his return stats for his career (kick returns and punt returns)
| Year | KICKS | PUNTS | ||||||||
| ATT | YDS | AVG | TD | ATT | YDS | AVG | TD | |||
| 2006 | 0 | 0 | 0.0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.0 | 0 | ||
| 2007 | 3 | 34 | 11.3 | 0 | 1 | 9 | 9.0 | 0 | ||
| 2008 | 37 | 1,101 | 29.8 | 3 | 29 | 464 | 16.0 | 3 | ||
| 2009 | 40 | 818 | 20.5 | 0 | 29 | 569 | 19.6 | 5 | ||
| Totals | 80 | 1,953 | 24.4 | 3 | 59 | 1,042 | 17.7 | 8 |
Update: Barrows is reporting that the agent for Western Illinois CB Patrick Stoudamire has said Stoudamire signed with the 49ers. FFToolbox has some details:
Stoudamire's size and quick feet are very intriguing. He lacks the flashy statistics and does not have the experience playing against top tier competition, but he boasts the natural skills and necessary attitude to at least be a reserve corner in the NFL. He is a mid rounder, possible in the later part of the fourth or early fifth round range.
Update: Someone from the Galveston Daily News is tweeting the 49ers have signed Jared Perry, WR, Missouri. Take it with a grain of salt until confirmed by a more known source. Here are Perry's numbers at Mizzou:
| Year | GP | REC | YDS | YPC | TD |
| 2006 | 13 | 37 | 429 | 11.6 | 3 |
| 2007 | 14 | 13 | 152 | 11.7 | 0 |
| 2008 | 14 | 41 | 567 | 13.8 | 4 |
| 2009 | 11 | 46 | 696 | 15.1 | 6 |
| Totals | 52 | 137 | 1,844 | 13.5 | 13 |
Update: Maiocco is reporting Drew Rosenhaus is stating that West Virginia QB Jarrett Brown agreed to a deal with the 49ers. Here's a scouting report:
What makes Brown an NFL prospect is his size. At 6-4 and 221 pounds, he has the look and arm strength of an NFL quarterback. With his elusiveness, he becomes even more valuable. The problem is he has only started one season and has not exactly taken the college football world by storm. Brown could develop into a dynamic quarterback, but no team will take a chance on him too early in the draft; though he is definitely worth a pick in the later rounds.
Update: A few twitter feeds have the 49ers signing WR Shay Hodge out of Ole Miss. FFToolbox had the following to say back in January:
Hodge has been clocked under 4.5 in the 40-yard dash and he has decent size at 6'1'' and 207 pounds. He is by no means an athletic freak of nature, but he consistently gets the job done by being physical at the line of scrimmage and catching almost anything that is in his near vicinity. Furthermore, Hodge is rock-solid both on and off the field and he will enter the NFL with no red flags whatsoever -- not even with any kind of injury history. As a result, Hodge should see his name go off the board sometime on Day 2 of the upcoming draft, perhaps as early as round four.
Update: Scott Long had a very solid showing at the combine, but it wasn't enough to get him signed. Here are his career stats:
| Year | GP | REC | YDS | YPC | TD |
| 2006 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 0.0 | 0 |
| 2007 | 12 | 27 | 358 | 13.3 | 0 |
| 2008 | 3 | 11 | 201 | 18.3 | 2 |
| 2009 | 12 | 53 | 727 | 13.7 | 2 |
| Totals | 36 | 91 | 1,286 | 14.1 | 4 |

Why? Just curious

"We're going to get the players we have targeted," Baalke said. "I promise you that."
Why..
Strong arm. No excuses. Wants to win. Will do anything for the team. Can scramble. Can make all the throws. NOT ALEX SMITH. I like him and want him to stay on the team.
This kid from WVU has the same intangible and can move in the pocket better, so if he turns out to take Davis's spot I would be all for it, how about you?
He has not played against top talent. (davis)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLTLNIzGiLY
"We're going to get the players we have targeted," Baalke said. "I promise you that."
We'll see
he’ll have to earn it. I don’t know much about brown… but I will. I wanna see his size and what he can do under pressure. Our pre-season will be fun to watch. Lot of competition for back up roles. I have liked Nate since he came to the team and think he could be a good QB. But def give Brown a shot. I want Alex/Davis/Brown. Time will tell
OMG his arm is sick!!
He threw the ball 60 yards on the move, just unreal. Plus I have a hard on for QBs who can run. I say we develop him and toss Nate. Or Carr
Eh we can compare both
Arm Strength: Slight edge to Brown, but it’s very close
Accuracy: Edge to Brown, still close
Speed: Brown wins
Footwork: Davis wins
Experience: Davis
Both have their pros and cons but you can see that Jarret is more physically gifted.
Think of him as a hard-working version of Jamarcus Russell…with speed.

You have Brown winning on Accuracy?
Not saying you’re wrong at all as I don’t know him all that well. ESPN Scouts Inc has him as below average on accuracy. Says his arm strength is just a notch below elite. Just trying to get a good feed on the guy. I know coming out of school Nate was supposed to be pretty accurate
by ChesapeakeBay9er on Apr 25, 2010 7:02 AM PDT up reply actions
Neither has good accuracy
Brown completed around 63% of his passes last year.
The biggest reason why his accuracy isn’t great is because he doesn’t always set his feet before throwing.

So they can leave him on the practice squad as a project. They should and will keep Davis on the roster. Davis already knows the Offense and has one year of experience.

Made one big mistake. Once in a while I’ve wanted to slug a guy. And I wish he’d punched the fun that got in his face as he was being taken away.
by David Fucillo on Apr 24, 2010 4:42 PM PDT up reply actions
I guess he had a great pro day but flew under the radar anyways
Everybody knows he blasted the guy but he didn’t climb into the seats to fight that fan so it wasn’t the end of the world.
The maligned prospect stunned scouts by posting forty times which ranged in the mid 4.5 second area, a full two-tenths faster than his combine mark. Several scouts clocked Blount in times of 4.53 and 4.55 seconds after he weighed in at 238 pounds. The forty was the only item Blount had on his schedule today.
240 lber running 4.5s -4.6s is a nice athlete to have back there. Lot better than Coffee. Seriously was last years draft that desolate after rd 2 we had to go after Coffee?

Oh everyone wants to slug a guy every now and then...
doesn’t mean we do it.
The guy does deserve a second chance…I’ll come around on him, just not thrilled about it right now.
"Lord, beer me strength."
after he sucker-punched that kid from Boise State
He was suspended for the season. He continued to show up to practice every day, having NO promises at from his coach that he would ever be reinstated, he worked hard, did everything that he could possibly do. He so impressed his coaches that he was reinstated for the last game or two. Sounds to me like a kid that had remorse for what he did, paid his penance and did what he could to compensate for what he realized was a mistake.
I, for one, believe in allowing people to put mistakes behind them IF (and that’s a big “if” LOL) they truly “get it” about what they did, and have honestly tried to do everything possible to put it behind them…
After all was said and done, a lot more got said than done.
I wouldn't call it a "sucker punch."
Not by the way it looked on the tape. It’s not like Blount sneaked up behind the Boise player, or anything like that.
Alaska is a state, dammit! Can I get a Niner game on TV up here?
I fully agree with the rest of what OldJock said, though.
Alaska is a state, dammit! Can I get a Niner game on TV up here?
Look at the tape again, Louie
The Boise St kid had turned away from Blount and couldn’t see him at all when Blount cold-cocked him. If you looked up “sucker punch” in an online dictionary, that tape would be there
After all was said and done, a lot more got said than done.
I was watching the game when it went down
and it was pretty nasty situation. Blount was even going after his own guys.
However people do make mistakes and if he’s willing to shape up I’d love to have him because he has serious talent.
I was right, you were wrong.
I just looked at it again, and the kid
hadn’t completely turned away from Blount… I guess we’re just having a semantic disagreement over what constitutes a “sucker punch”
After all was said and done, a lot more got said than done.
I'm a big fan of that punch. One hitter quiter, whatever that idiot said to him he paid for it, lmao
Everyone seems to forget that it was Blount who ran his mouth before the game saying the Ducks would “embarrass the Broncos in their own stadium” (just as the Broncos had embarrassed the Ducks at Autzen the previous season) along with other great locker room material leading up to the game.
Blount then went out and laid the biggest egg of his college career (yes a Duck joke) rushing 8 times for -5 yards and Boise dominated them again. While I’m not sure anyone knows for sure what Hout said to him it’s likely it was in reference to Blount’s smack talking before the game. Blount probably should have kept quiet before the game and let his performance speak for itself, instead he had a bad game and couldn’t take the heat.
All that being said he’s now on my team and I hope he is able to manage his temper and show us the natural talent that he has. I’m not holding my breath for it though as Dixon is a very similar athlete without the “hot head” factor. I’d be excited if they both play well enough to deserve roster spots though.
As an Oregon fan
I have watched Blount the last 2 years. This guy had 1000 yards in a back-up role his 1st year. A bad and eventfull Boise game did him in. He was reinstated only because he lived up to the expectations set forth by the University. He is an amazing talent. He runs fast and is very agile for a guy his size. He should easily beat out dixon and give coffe his run for his money.
by ericalancanty on Apr 24, 2010 5:14 PM PDT up reply actions
Not to excuse him punching the Boise guy
but that guy approached him, running his mouth. I think a lot of guys learned a lesson: if you run up on someone, you might just get clocked!
Alaska is a state, dammit! Can I get a Niner game on TV up here?
I watched that game.
Blount was taunted into making that VERY dumb mistake. The Boise State dude was really giving it to him right in front of the Refs too, and it got out of hand really fast. It was the intention of the Boise State player to make Blount react the way he did. The Ref’s could have handled it a lot better, but that is no excuse for the reprehensible behavior. If the fight happened in a bar after the game, no one would know or even care. The fact that it happened live on a nationally televised game was what made it into such a big deal.
The kid has a temper. Hopefully he got some help and is a better person for it. It cost him millions of dollars already. I don’t see any reason to persecute him any further over the matter. He should have a clean slate with the Niners. I mean, he didn’t have any guns, use any drugs, shoot at anyone or get shot at, throw any games, or have any drunk women taken to a back bathroom to abuse…
From a football standpoint, he played really well for Oregon, and some might say he was the best running back in the Oregon backfield. I believe he was the starter before the incident occurred. He played really well when he was given an opportunity. I think I saw him in a late season game against OSU and he was a beast. He might be a steal if he gets some reps and gets coached up. He is worth the minor PR hit the Niners would take if he were to make the 53 man roster.
One thing is for certain. He would be on his VERY BEST BEHAVIOR for his entire career. And I can say that because his career would END the very first time he screwed up again. I hope he did go to some sort of class or sought counseling for his anger management issue. I am gonna root for the kid, if only to see if he can be a good example of someone who addressed his problems and becomes a model citizen who has paid dearly for being the guy who made a big mistake that cost him millions of dollars and a great deal of respect. This is America. Everyone deserves a second chance on things like this. I hope he makes all pro some day.
Another year, another chance to hope for the team !!
he was seriously like 2nd to 3rd round i believe

I wonder if Blount would've gotten as much of a bad rap about all this
if it hadn’t been a nationally televised, multiple-angle-replayed shot. It seems like this is the one thing people know about him.
Jason Hill is turning the corner!
or if it hadn’t been a black-guy-hits-white-guy situation. Race matters.

Your right. If it was a white guy sucker punching a black guy it would have been a MUCH bigger deal.

LOL, you stole my comment.
Plus add that the white guy never would have been allowed on a football field again.
Definitely.
From all indications post-punch he seems like a decent guy. People fight all the time and if average people were scrutinized for throwing punches as much as athletes were, then maybe it would be fair. Unfortunately we like to put people on pedestals for the sole purpose of tearing them down.
not to condone what he did,
but I’m sure things like Big Ben’s transgression happen all the time. And given that I’m not sure that what he did wasn’t worse than what Michael Vick did, I’m not sure how to make sense of the kinds of punishment that’s getting doled out.

What guarantees us that none of us will just snap and get into a fight? Nothing, but we trust ourselves and in the same way we should trust the player if he says he’s learned from it and trust that the coaches will make sure he’s learned from it.

Ya but you can't have atheletes charging into the stands
What if a kid gets accidently hurt when blount knocks the guy out? Part of being a professional athelete is being able to accept criticism without killing people that are physically inferior to you. Killing fans is just bad for business
He wasn't a professional athlete then, not an excuse, I'm just saying.
The fans need to have respect for the players as much as the players have for the fans. It goes both ways, and when you cross the line, PAY YO FAIR.

I agree but
college is like players audition for the nfl and they want them to act professional to some degree. But if some second team player did this no one would really care. With that said he deserves a second chance and sing will either whip him into shape or just knock him out. Either one will be entertaining

its his 2nd chance. Lets see what he does with it

True, and even though he should have just walked away, I know that some fans feel entitled to say whatever they feel like saying, and they think that no one can do anything to them.
Obviously, Blount is a realist, and believes in a fair and just world (ok, maybe that’s a little much). But seriously, people need to be more polite.
Run your mouth, get hit in said mouth. It’s a natural chain of events, albeit one that LeGarrette should have broken.

Brown!!!!
Brown could be really good if he’s coached good. Not starting behind Pat White for three years didn’t help his development, but he can be dangerous if he can learn to read defenses and not throw into double and triple coverage all the time. Way too many INTs for the Mountaineers last year. But the physical tools are there. He played hoops the year before last for Bob Huggins. Extra points for that from me.
I'm
excited for Vann- I have a buddy who goes to that school and says the guy is just electric.
Good gets
They supplment the later picks and provide competition.
Blount – He’s got a real chance to make the football team I’d think. He and Dixon are literally in head to head competition for a bruiser back roster spot. I think that’s a fantastic motivational situation. Both should be revved up and motivated to compete. Shoot, Coffee better be too.
Vann – Suppliments the Williams pick. There needs to be some talent in the punt return competition.
Brown – Has all the physical tools, but I think Davis will shine out over for a roster spot. Not bad to get an athletic guy with a gun to your PS though.
Two more DB’s – Both compete with Adams for a roster spot. Cold come down to the best special teams player.
The WR’s – Eh, there’s a lot of route running to be done. You’ve got to have bodies.
What do you think of the draft overall??

otherwise they’re adding depth and it looks like adding some strong characters to the team with a lot of passion. I think under Singletary’s leadership it’s gonna be great.
Very good for us
Better than last year IMO. We are starting to build a scary team, guys. Scary.
And I f’ing love it.
Yeah I think the same thing.
I really liked Coffee last year during the draft, but did not impress me the slightest last year
And I feel like with RBs, what you see is what you get.

Why?
His job is to hold the point of attack at the line of scrimmage and keep blockers off the LBs.
Instead, he gets driven off the ball every single snap and ends up on his back while allowing the lineman to get to the LBs.
He’s got to be the worst starter in the entire defense.
Only Adam Snyder and David Baas beat him out for worst starter on the entire team.

I think I need some evidence of this.
He seems to fight pretty hard in the trenches to me, I’ve never seen him get knocked on his back. He is no pass rusher I give you that, but he is effective against the run and holding up the line. I think he would be better suited as DT in a 4-3 but he still manages to beat out our other options at DE. That being said though, I would love to see them make a nice upgrade opposite Smith. Could you imagine having another guy like Smith on the left side, that would be nasty.
Chikmagnet is right
Soap is pretty bad. He always plays read and react which means he never gets pressure on the QB, plus he doesn’t hold the point very well.
I’ll dig up some pictures from Game Rewind later on
I was right, you were wrong.
Definitely good with Jarett Brown
I can’t believe we’re actually signing LeRoy Vann. . .I don’t know whether to be dumbfounded, cheer or cry. . .
Who in the hell was in charge of the Raider draft?
Sure wasn’t Al Davis! They wanted Bruce Campbell OT, some thought that they would take him in the first. Al would have but they drafted well! Still in shock. They got Campbell but in the 4th or 5th round.
I think Tom Cable was in charge till the 4th
when Al traded up to grab Jacoby Ford.
Here's hoping 2010 is the end of our drought.
I think the prevailing theory is that the new format helped them
The first three rounds were held after Davis’s bed time. He was only awake for day three when he got to grab all his workout warriors.
We now have a buttload of KR/PR options
It will be interesting who ends up getting the PR job. I don’t see why Ginn wouldn’t get the primary KR duties though.
I can't say I'm disappointed
After last season I am all for the scattershot approach. Bring in as many speedy, elusive returners as we can find and let the best one get the job.
Definitely
It should be fun to watch Williams & Vann compete for the PR job. Vann is quite spectacular. At least at the college level he was.
Kyle Williams is a PR guy
It would not surprise me to see Ginn and Williams KR, and Williams PR. Williams is reported to have run a 4.3 flat before. Either way, we finnaly have 2 guys that can flat out run returning kicks. Gonna help out the Offense tremendously.

doesn't always work out
Turns out Balmer’s dad was wearing a Niners cap even before the NFL crew handed them out when he was drafted.
Jason Hill is turning the corner!
I think Brown has a pretty decent chance of making this team
He’s pretty accurate. I would think he’s more mobile than Davis.
i like him
i like someone who can run and gun and make somethin’ outta nothin’… we’ll see tho, haven’t seen a crazy mobile qb on the niners in a long time
I don't see it happening.
Other than Smith, Davis is the only QB that knows the system. Carr is still learning it and if Smith and Carr got hurt, then they would be in serious trouble.. I see them puting Brown on the practice squad for a year.
Davis doesn't know the system well..at all
he got NO reps at QB and only a few as back-up DB on the scout team
Here's hoping 2010 is the end of our drought.
And in all due respect to Davis
He might still be learning the playbook due to his learning disability. Brown might not have as difficult a time picking it up.

1. Smith
2. Davis

Hybrid 4-3 with one DE playing stand up. Right now we’ve got Aaron Curry starting at the stand-up DE and Lawrence Jackson playing the traditional. Drafted one of each today as well.

"We're going to get the players we have targeted," Baalke said. "I promise you that."
Hm? Oh I'm not judging you.
I just think it’s insane to give up on Coffee after one season behind a terrible offensive line that Frank Gore struggled behind. How many times did we see Gore run up and get dragged down behind or on the L.O.S.? Now a third round running back with less than half his carries is supposed to be amazing? I don’t see it.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre... contemplating a crime.
I haven't given up on coffee and I should have made that a point, I think they didn't need to add any RB. Beef that OL and see what coffee does.
He did have to play with Hill at QB vs one of the leagues best run defenses in his fourth game as a pro.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLTLNIzGiLY
"We're going to get the players we have targeted," Baalke said. "I promise you that."
I really liked the Dixon pick up in the 6th, no need for him to replace Coffee either. I could see him however being the next Gore when Gore can’t go anymore. Dixon was sick in college, I saw him play a number of times. Not only will he not shy from running someone over, he can make someone miss and he doesn’t accept coming down in the backfield.
I'm wondering if we'll have a roster spot open for him.

he had a 17something yard average per punt
and about 5 of them returned for tds. He should be our returner, period.
One would think
But this is the pros it’s a different world entirely. He is pretty spectacular though.
Really?
You need to go look at the film. He can spin, hurddle and run through ya. All that at an amazing 242 lbs. Had 1000 yards as a back-up in his 1st year. 2nd year was the punch! Came from a Jr College.

Meh, he is replaceable.
Mckillop really started to stand out to me on ST last year and I think Mays will this year as well as Bowman. We’ll be alright without him, I have other players I would like to see come on and develop and be able to contribute in other areas.
Unless he F's up royally
I don’ t think Robinson will go anywhere. I think he’s signed till 2012? I think that shows a vote of confidence. At least for his ST skills.
i dont like robinson.
people say he’s “versatile,” but he isnt actually good at anything. he’s just mediocre-at-best at every offensive skill position.
The enemy of my enemy is collateral damage.
Because he's not on offense.

I like LeRoy Vann
I’m not making much of the “RB competition”. Whoever best plays special teams and pass blocks is going to be the guy to stick around with both Gore and Coffee. Robinson is special teams captain and a lock.
He plays on almost every special team group and usually excels. Every team has one of those guys. That’s not a sacred cow
and takes double coverage, don’t forget that. Very respected around the league.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

I guess I'm bitter that he somehow gets this untouchable status
The last time I remember him making a great play was on a KR vs Arizona where he sprung Rossum for a TD. That was 2008.
Jason Hill is turning the corner!
Ok, well without him, every time he made a tackle on a kick return at, say, the 15 yard line, add another fifteen or twenty to that. If every time the opposing team started at 15 they instead started at 30, would you be happy?
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

add 15 or 20 yards??

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLTLNIzGiLY
"We're going to get the players we have targeted," Baalke said. "I promise you that."
No, I'm not.
There were so many times when he was THE guy to make the tackle, and he’s the guy who tells everyone else what to do as well. Factor that in.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre... contemplating a crime.
I wouldn't factor that much in and I am sure we'd assign someone else without him.
I can’t aree however, that he has a 15 to 20 yard impact on ST.

"We're going to get the players we have targeted," Baalke said. "I promise you that."
Yeah you'd assign someone else.
Would he be as good? No. There’s absolutely no reason to get rid of him when we just lost Ulbrich and Hudson, it would be catastrophic. Every team shuffles these guys but everyone likes to have their one guy. And that one guy is always double covered and he always perfects his craft. He’d get picked up in a heartbeat.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre... contemplating a crime.
We're continuing this convo at different times in different threads and we agree we don't want to se him on offense.
I don’t care he is on the team, I just don’t like the idea of not having 3 actual rb’s on the team due to his roster spot. I beleive he is a ST asset, but not to the point we would surrender that many yards on average.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLTLNIzGiLY
"We're going to get the players we have targeted," Baalke said. "I promise you that."
I really know what you mean.
But can you honestly say that losing Hudson, Ulbrich AND Robinson all in the same season wouldn’t attribute to a much larger loss on yards on average? If they got no savvy special teamers to learn from these guys can’t be good. I just think one of them has to stay, and it has to be Robinson.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre... contemplating a crime.
Not really, Ulbrich didn't play the whole season and McKillop did fine behind him.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLTLNIzGiLY
"We're going to get the players we have targeted," Baalke said. "I promise you that."
look at it from this perspective
a running back needs to average 62.5 yds/gm to be a 1000 yd rusher (NO, I’m NOT saying Robinson is or ever will be a 1000 yd rusher).
If Robinson is in on 8 ko/punt coverages per game and is able to contribute, through performance and/or leadership, to holding the opposition to 8 yds less/return, that’s 64 yds/gm > 1000 yds/season. 4 yds less/return is still > 500 yds/season.
Football is largely a field position sport, more so with the offensive philosophy that Singletary/Raye bring to the table. Those 500-1000 yds/season help immensely
After all was said and done, a lot more got said than done.
The reason we didn't have three real RBs
Was also because of Norris.

Bowman can take Robinson's spot
Nobody that is JUST a special teamer is a lock. Vann won’t make the team unless he does something else. We won’t just have a guy on the team that JUST does PR, and another that does KR and sometimes WR.
You can't just say Bowman can do it.
You don’t know that. It’s a different position.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre... contemplating a crime.
Typically it's your LBs that you want on ST not a College QB
That’s why McKillop was the top tackler last year. Most ST aces are the LB. Bowman is perfect for that role while he bulks up.
You say "typically" as if Robinson hasn't disproved that for the past few seasons.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre... contemplating a crime.
Your are also saying that I don't know that Bowman can do it
I’m just saying that typically it’s the guys just like Bowman that are the ST aces before they become the starter, and not ex-QBs. I like Robinson, just think with limited upside, if it came down to him or Bowman on the team, I’m picking Bowman.
I think there are people who can replace him on this team.
McKillop CAN grow into that captain role, but I don’t see them wanting Bowman for that, is all I mean. I mean, they want him to be their linebacker. And anyway, it’s not going to be between those two
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre... contemplating a crime.
Bowman WILL be that.
Mckillop is already showing to be that man and I see Bowman being just as efficient if not better in that role than Mckillop. Robinson didn’t even average 1 tackle per game in any season! with as much as we punt??? C’mon man, he is replaceable, with the emphasis this team puts on STs, we wont miss Robinson very much. Other guys will step up to see the playing field, that’s what ST is for, to get hungry guys out there.

Robinson has great value as a special teams guy
but a a RB he does not. Maybe they can have him as the back-up FB or something. Don’t see them getting rid of Coffee, and they will want Dixon or Blount to be the big bruising back in short yard situations.
But that’s the thing, it’s not like there’s a number of people with the RB title that are allowed. You don’t say Blount/Gore/Coffee/Robinson it’s Blount/Gore/Coffee with Robinson as a special teamer.

For the record.
Guys that play only special teams, do so cause they are not good enough to be a starter. They can and alway do get replaced. Robinson has always been a career special teams player and always will be with no up-side. If they have to replace him with someone else, they will. If he stays but they have 3 RB other than him on the roster then fine. If he has to go to make room for the other guys, then so so so long.
There's always one guy that teams keep.

I agree, they are not starters.
In fact, they suck so bad they don’t even practice another position.
they should have game day/roster exemptions
for special teams players. Not like all of them, but like your one long snapper, one punter, one kicker, and one designated ST player should be exempt from game day roster limits

Bignerd? Really?
Long snapper and K and P are positions. They are specialty positions and Jennings and Lee are 2 of the best at their positions. Special teams player is not a position but a title to someone who can contribute to it while they are improving at their true position. McKillup is an ILB who plays ST. Robinson is a ? who plays ST. BTW, there are 11 guys playing ST at any given time. Robinson is expendable!

They have a pro-bowl spot for ST only players
Robinson is almost always an alternate for that honor.

Alternate just means he's second best
He’s 2nd out of 32.
Almost because last year he was hurt and didn’t make it.
He was an alternate the previous two years, I believe.

Well there must be more than 32 right? Or do you have to actually be labled as THE ST guy on a roster?
Special Teams rosters
punter, place kicker, kick returner, long snapper, and a random special teamer.
So there’s really only one spot he can fill and to be an alternate is very impressive.
Brian Jennings has also been to a couple of Pro-Bowls as a long snapper, and Allen Rossum made it to a pro-bowl as a returner the year before we picked him up
I was right, you were wrong.
+1
Special teams is for backups.
Except for kickers and punters.

So here is an idea....
it may sound a little crazy, but since Norris has been almost useless, couldn’t they use the winner of the blount/dixon battle become the teams “fullback”? both seem a little hefty, but I guess it depends on their blocking skills, but if would free up space to make sure Robinson, Gore, Coffee, and another RB to be on the team
slightly different skill set
Think about it: you’ve spent your career avoiding moving targets. Now you’re training yourself to hit them, latch on, and drive them back.
Jason Hill is turning the corner!
no, but the point was about the difficulty in converting
Not saying it can’t be done, though.
Didn’t the Niners pick up a Mich St FB this offseason?
Jason Hill is turning the corner!

yeah, i get what you are saying....
that is why i included the “it depends on their blocking skills” lol…..and i guess it also depends if they are going to stick with the offensive style from the last half of last season, or go back to the straight up, smash-mouth style….if it is the prior, my idea may work
by sanfranfanmdk on Apr 24, 2010 6:52 PM PDT up reply actions
I'm sure it'll happen
we also have Jehu Caulcrick signed to a future’s contract.
I think this spells the end of the road for Norris in San Francisco and possibly the end of the road for Coffee.
I was right, you were wrong.
I wouldn't say it's necessarily the end for Coffee
He might be on the bubble, but I would bet he gets a good long look during preseason. I think what he did in college almost makes that necessary. But there’s definitely going to be some tough competition between him, Dixon and Blount. In the end one of them gets waived ends up on PS and if he gets signed so be it.
FB, I really really think Norris ends up being the odd man out. Caulcrick may end up being a surprise if he gets a look in preseason. And we’ve seen Miller’s potential.
They also might like Miller's input on ST so much that they don't want to move him to FB
I was right, you were wrong.
Pass blocking

Alright folks you've convinced me.
Let’s take the guy who commands an entire unit of players on all four of those special teams packages and remove him from the roster that looks pretty open right now because he can’t run the ball, something he’s not there to do. Also, that it’s completely fine and OK that we lost our other two special teams leaders in the same season and this will translate to zero on-the-field deficiencies.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre... contemplating a crime.
Not saying remove him. I think he adds a benefit
but he is far from untouchable. He is just a ST guy, with no upside besides that. So if it came down to Bowman or Robinson, who would you have on the team? A guy that is a good ST at best, but didn’t even lead the team in ST tackles last year, or your future TED LB with a LOT of upside? That’s what everyone is trying to get you to see, or at least I am.
It shouldn't come down to Bowman or Robinson.
Look at the roster, you’re telling me when it comes down to it you couldn’t make a 53-man roster without Robinson? Here let me try.
QB- Alex Smith, David Carr, Nate Davis
RB- Frank Gore, Glen Coffee, LaGarette Blount
FB- Moran Norris
WR- Michael Crabtree, Josh Morgan, Ted Ginn, Another Guy
TE- Vernon Davis, Delanie Walker, Nate Byham
OT- Joe Staley, Anthony Davis, Barry Sims, Alex Boone/Adam Snyder
OG- Mike Iupati, Chilo Rachal, Tony Wragge/Adam Snyder
C- Eric Heitmann, Cody Wallace
DE- Justin Smith, Isaac Sopoaga, Ray McDonald, Demetric Evans
DT- Aubrayo Franklin, Ricky Jean-Francois, Kentwan Balmer
OLB- Manny Lawson, Ahmad Brooks, Parys Haralson, Ahmad Brooks
ILB- Patrick Willis, Takeo Spikes, Scott McKillop, Navorro Bowman
CB- Nate Clements, Shawntae Spencer, Tarrel Brown, Phillip Adams, Another Guy
S- Dashon Goldson, Taylor Mays, Michael Lewis, Reggie Smith
K- Joe Nedney
P- Andy Lee
LS- Brian Jennings
Specialists- Michael Robinson, LeRoy Vann
That’s with having to use terms like “another guy” AND that’s not even 53 yet.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

No I don't want Evans at all
But the 49ers seem like they’ll want another d-lineman. I’m way with you on that one, man.
The only thing Ginn will do on offense is force the other team to put a CB on him so Davis has a linebacker on him.

Robinson
Just a note of support for Ninjames: Michael Robinson has been a Pro Bowl alternate on special teams each of the last two seasons. Pro Bowls are obviously nowhere near the best measurement of a player, but clearly he gets respect around the league (players have a vote for special teams, and I think coaches do as well – fans are 1/3)

TRANSCRIPTS NOW UP
Sorry for the delay on these. These include press conferences from Taylor Mays, Trent Baalke and Mike Singletary.
http://www.ninersnation.com/2010/4/24/1442373/2010-nfl-draft-day-three-49ers
In Deffense of all the guys who DON'T like Robinson.
This is not an arguement over special teams. This is an arguement about him taking up a RB roster spot. The last few years the 49ers have had him as the 3rd RB. The ones that don’t like him, don’t want him to take up that 3rd RB position. We don’t care if they find another roster spot for him. We don’t care if he is on or off the team. We just want someone better to be the 3rd RB who can contribute as a RB.
Nobody who likes him is suggesting he be the third RB.
We suggest that he be a ST. Special Teamer. Go look at the 52 players I named, we can keep three + Robinson. We have the space.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre... contemplating a crime.
My point is
all us who want a different 3rd RB do not want to keep Robinson if it prevents them from signing another RB. The last few years the 49ers have not carried 4 RB. So if they are unwilling to have 4 RB, we want it to be Robinson to be the one to go.

And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

Agreed
Robinson can stay in my opinion just as long as they sign another big back to pound the middle. They could carry 1 less guy at WR, or CB, or somewhere where it won’t come back to haunt us and keep Robinson as ST captain.

its OL
cause Snyder can be backup guard and tackle. that means one less guard or tackle needed

OK sooooo
Some gut predicitons if we don’t add any more players:
Blount and Dixon both make the team no matter what with or without the expense of Coffee.
Vann (unfortunately since he grew up a 49ers fan) doesnt make the team.
Maragos gets practice squaded and developed (lots of upside and a good life turnaround story despite being a drug dealer in high school— seems like we got a lot of those)
Stoudamire and Adams make the team at the expense of Paymah. Bly and Harris are not resigned. Orman is practice squaded at best.
Perry gets sent to the practice squad, Williams makes the team, Jones is likely cut. Ginn ends up lining up in the slot a lot and handling KR and PR duties (people forget how good this guy is at this stuff, he was basically a return specialist coming out of college anyways).
Final roster/depth entering the season:
QB- Alex Smith(Off. Captain), David Carr, Nate Davis
RB- Frank Gore, LaGarette Blount, Anthony Dixon, Glen Coffee
FB- Britt Miller (Byham is the backup here too)
WR- Michael Crabtree, Josh Morgan, Ted Ginn, Kyle Williams, Jason Hill
TE- Vernon Davis, Delanie Walker, Nate Byham
OT- Joe Staley(L), Anthony Davis®, Barry Sims
OG- Mike Iupati(L), Chilo Rachal®, Adam Snyder, Tony Wragge
C- Eric Heitmann, Cody Wallace
DE- Justin Smith(L), Isaac Sopoaga®, Ray McDonald, Kentwan Balmer
NT- Aubrayo Franklin, Ricky Jean-Francois
OLB- Manny Lawson, Ahmad Brooks, Parys Haralson, Travis LaBoy
ILB- Patrick Willis(Def. Captain), Takeo Spikes, Scott McKillop, Navorro Bowman
CB- Shawntae Spencer, Nate Clements, Tarrel Brown, Phillip Adams, Patrick Stoudamire
FS- Dashon Goldson, Reggie Smith
SS- Taylor Mays, Michael Lewis
K- Joe Nedney, Shane Andrus
P- Andy Lee
LS- Brian Jennings
ST Specialist/Gunner- Michael Robinson (ST Captain)
Yep, count it that’s 53.
Practice Squad:
Jerrett Brown- QB
Jared Perry- WR
Dominique Ziegler- WR
Alex Boone- OT
Diyral Briggs- LB
Karl Paymah- CB
Curtis Taylor- S
Chris Maragos- S
Zeigler isn't eligible for the PS again.

I actually think. both are probably better than Kyle Williams. But then again that’s just MHO. Long is just that long and big built. Shay Hodge has a good bit of productivity in college and hopefully more here. What info do you have on Perry? I’d love to keep Vann, i think, LOL.

Someone's gonna get cut.
I like the Brandon Jones getting cut Idea. With no cap, the Niners can save alot of money for someone who hasn’t done anything. getting like 4 million a year, it would count against the cap (there isn’t one this year) and would save the niners 4 million, and would cancel the rest of his crazy contract.
Actually you have a point
No cap so it doesn’ t matter what he’d have to be paid. And if they didn’t think they could pay him that kind of money they wouldn’t guarantee it. It still baffles me what made them think he was worth that much though! His numbers going into last season were worse than Ginn’s.
How about we keep Coffee.

Just out of curiosity
Does anyone remember the last home-grown UDFA (i.e. one we signed after the draft as a rookie, as opposed to an UDFA we might have signed from another team after that player showed some pro potential) that made significant contributions? I’m not talking making the practice squad or the special teams unit. Someone that either started some games or played offense or defense on a somewhat consistent basis. It seems like we get all excited about the UDFAs every year and they end up getting cut or stashed on the practice squad, never to be heard from again. Or maybe I’m just forgetting about someone….Anyway, just want to know if its realistic to get excited about any of these guys….they made it past seven rounds for a reason….
I don't care if he ever plays a game...

Glass Half full (or more) Guy
As a newbee to Niners Nation I love how you guys are crazy passionate about the team and the draft. For me the fact there are several positions where there looks like there will be pretty serious COMPETITION and choices to be made re the depth chart and roster. RB, WR, even O line maybe …
GO Niners – - can’t wait till we kick the Seahawks in Sept.
In case not clear - -compeition is a great thing... not really a "problem"
Or as a friend of mine says it’s a “high class” kind of problem. Of course still great to discuss and argue about!
