49ers Interested In Aaron Maybin? Or Vice-Versa?

PrintFooch's Update: Maybin has decided to go in another direction and will not be signing with the 49ers.
Earlier this afternoon Matt Barrows tweeted that the 49ers were one of the team's on recently released Aaron Maybin's short list. Maybin was selected by the Buffalo Bills with the 11th overall pick of the 2009 NFL Draft but never panned out. In two seasons he recorded 24 total tackles and never lived up to the potential.
The 49ers released outside linebacker Thaddeus Gibson on Monday and one has to wonder if it was with the intention of pushing for Maybin. At this point, Aldon Smith, Parys Haralson and Ahmad Brooks seem pretty much locked into the top three outside linebacker positions, not necessarily in that order.
Antwan Applewhite, Kenny Rowe and Monte Simmons are competing for the fourth OLB spot and Maybin could be brought in to at least provide a little more competition. If they are able to bring him in maybe they figure it's a low risk move with some decent upside if he can figure out whatever there is that needs to be figured out. And if he doesn't, it's not like they're looking at some monster cap hit.

Not sure the 3-4 is a great fit for him, he just can't get big enough.

OLB
Alex Smith 86%+ QB rating with 22+ TDs this season, hopefully! :)
lockout
came back from the lockout weighting 228.
unless someone figures he'd be better at WLB in a 4-3
whistlingmountain is right too. The 3-4 requires bigger LB’s at every position unless you’re a freak like Willis, who isn’t the biggest 3-4 Mike.
The sky isn't falling. It was just an acorn.

Didn't he bust hard?
Can Fangio do it?
Looks like Kentwan Balmer busted here and isn’t doing much up in SEA either.
yeah
He didn’t manage to get one sack in 2 seasons as an OLB in buffalo’s 3-4
Alex Smith 86%+ QB rating with 22+ TDs this season, hopefully! :)
It was more that he couldn't get to running backs with his 4.90 speed
Alex Smith 86%+ QB rating with 22+ TDs this season, hopefully! :)
so is he really that slow?
Cause he’d have to cover to play here being that we already have pass rushing OLB’s and he’s never shown the propensity

He isn't very quick,
Maybe he will gain some quickness because he is only 230 pounds which is small for 3-4 OLB anyways
Alex Smith 86%+ QB rating with 22+ TDs this season, hopefully! :)
He was on season as a 4-3 DE and one as a 3-4 OLB.

How many OLB does one team usaully keep ...!!
I'm your " Huckelberry "...it's just my game ...Jimmy Raye your no daisy ...!!
a 3-4, usually 4 or 5
Alex Smith 86%+ QB rating with 22+ TDs this season, hopefully! :)
So as of now , it's Aldon Haralson and Brooks top Three, then whom is next on the slate ...!!
I'm your " Huckelberry "...it's just my game ...Jimmy Raye your no daisy ...!!
Between Applewhite and Rowe at this point
both provide tremendous talent, but do have holes in their games.

Don't know mch about either , are these two cats ,PS bound or 53ers ...!!
I'm your " Huckelberry "...it's just my game ...Jimmy Raye your no daisy ...!!
Applewhite
is strictly going to be a 53er or cut. Rowe, on the other hand, could go to the PS. He could also make the 53 if he continues to perform like he has been. Dude had 18 sacks the last two seasons at Oregon and lit up Cam Newton a few different times in the BCS Title Game

We'll certainly know more in games 3 and 4 of the pre-season
But it wouldn’t shock me to see the team lean toward youth in some of these battles. Despite the always predictable big talk for winning now, Baalke and Harbaugh know that this is basically a 3 year plan to remake the team and they’ve handed out contracts in a way that backs it up.
by whistlingmountain on Aug 16, 2011 6:41 PM PDT up reply actions
applewhite and maybin i would guess
Alex Smith 86%+ QB rating with 22+ TDs this season, hopefully! :)
The FO sure does love former first round picks
Alex Smith 86%+ QB rating with 22+ TDs this season, hopefully! :)
Yeah, it's like the island for misfit 1st round picks
We could always trade for Ayers if Maybin doesn’t work out.
Diyral
Would rather pull in Briggs than Maybin. Other then that give Rowe or Simmons a chance,
I loved Briggs, but isn't he still in GB on the active?

released yesterday
on the transactions page from nfl.com
Here is a higlight reel of Rowe against Ohio State in 2010 Rose Bowl
The video has Rowe boxed before every play, so you can catch him. Nice little video recap of his abilities

Did you check out the video
He was an absolute monster in that Rose Bowl game, but I noticed issues in regards to scheme recognition and pass coverage liability

OLB's in 3-4 are for the most part not used for covering guys
If that was the case Manny Lawson will still be here

at about 1:40...he just lost track of the guy
he showed burst in catching up after he figured out he was beaten. Just an awareness play. Hopefully he wont be coverning too much for us anyways

Yeah
he would be more of a situational pass rusher at first.

he's money at that shoestring tackle vs. qb
he dives and chops the ankle. Not sure that’s a measurable skill but he did find a way to get the guy down

Maybin makes no sense...
He’s too small to play LB in a 4-3 or 3-4. Maybe have him play strong safety? I dunno..
His size puts him in the same type of limbo as Taylor Mays… but on the other end of the spectrum.
It seems like...
He has more interest in the 49ers right now and that is what the story is. I am not sure if they have shown that interest in him.

Off subject....
Why is it that no one is making that big of a deal on how the jets line played? They gave up 6 sacks!!! Now I don’t feel quite so bad.

Speaking of JETS , does anyone know why Aldon Smiths tweets end up with JETS ...!!
I'm your " Huckelberry "...it's just my game ...Jimmy Raye your no daisy ...!!
He explained it because everyone kept giving him sh**...
Has something to do w/ ‘jets flying high’ and him considering himself a jet that’s soaring above everyone/everything. Something like that…

Yes to any player that will come in for a workout
This is a team undergoing a major overhaul, might as well invite everyone.

OLB Aaron Maybin is not going to sign with 49ers, his agent said. The 49ers showed interest, but Maybin is “going in a different direction.”
off topic: interesting does Terrelle Pryor still have a chance??

No
we already have a project QB with a history of character issues, who already has the same type of talent level as Pryor. His name is Jeremiah Masoli

who said anything about him on this team in particular...
I’m saying does he have a chance just to be on an NFL roster.

not talking about pryor on 49ers roster
but to answer your question 49ers might need another RB, cause dixon needs to step his game up. Hunter I like though.

If Jets want Maybin...then 9ers need to sign him!
The jets know talent when the see it. They 9ers have lots of cap space money…Sign Maybin.
Our D-Line is scary thin...
After starters -McDonald-Sopoaga-J.Smith our back ups ….Jean Francois-Williams-Dobbs-Tukuafu are cleary just average,not even close to the talent level of our starters.
If McDonald-Sopoaga-J.Smith, any of them get injured….Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybin’s agent stated he is not interested in the 49ers
Probably looking for a place where he has more of a chance to start.
Why is everyone hating on DIxon
He is only a 2nd year player. He is a good goal line back who didnt fumble last year. Didnt he also lead the league in rushing last preseason?
No vision, no instinct
Running backs don’t break out, they just go unnoticed on a smaller number of carries.
All the good ones have high YPC from their rookie year onward, usually with their rookie year being one of their best. Dixon doesn’t have it.
He played in a spread option offense where the line splits were huge, and they were often running QB options against Dime defenses. These are things that open up holes you could drive an F150 through. Holes don’t open that way in the NFL and Dixon doesn’t have the vision or instinct to see them before they develop.
It's his running style, when someone that big try's to run and dance like Barry Sanders
you have a problem

I know we've all seen this, but ...
I’ll put it up again just to refresh your memory.
