Jonathan Goodwin Signing And 49ers Offensive Line Rotation

PrintFooch's Note: Site decorum is on and will remain so until the 49ers preseason opener August 12.
Jonathan Goodwin signed a three year contract with the 49ers earlier this afternoon and will likely make his way right into the starting center position. Adam Snyder has done yeoman's work as the training camp center, but with no center experience it was going to be a tough learning curve. It worked somewhat well for David Baas (enough to get him a sizable contract), but I'd imagine the team did not want to try their luck twice.
Assuming Goodwin does take over as starting center, the question becomes what happens to the rest of the offensive line. While Snyder will likely compete with Chilo Rachal at right guard, he appears slotted to be a backup across the line as a sort of Mr. Versatility. If that's the case, it will be interesting to see how it impacts the rest of the roster battles on the line.
I've been chatting with Tre and others on twitter about this. As it currently stands, the 49ers offensive line will definitely include Joe Staley, Anthony Davis, Chilo Rachal, Mike Iupati, Jonathan Goodwin, and Adam Snyder. After that you could argue everything else is up in the air. Tony Wragge signed a one-year deal but if Snyder can sufficiently back up across the line, maybe he doesn't stick around? You could make the argument that his roster spot is more secure if Snyder wins the starting right guard battle since Chilo doesn't play center.
After that, you've got Alex Boone. At this point Boone would seem to be a heavy favorite to take over as the swing tackle, even if Adam Snyder can be a backup at tackle. The team likely has Barry Sims on speed dial, but as Maiocco said, if Boone can show something the next few weeks, he would seem destined for the key backup tackle job.
Beyond that the team still has its two draft picks in Daniel Kilgore and Mike Person. Last year the team kept ten offensive lineman, with one backup at each position. I wouldn't be surprised if they went with nine this year to provide a bit more offensive flexibility, particularly given the additional experience Iupati and Davis bring to the table.
As it currently stands, I'd say your two biggest bubble guys are Wragge and Person and to fit the group of nine I'm considering Person on the practice squad. The starting right guard position is up in the air with the addition of Goodwin, so Rachal and Snyder are not etched in stone at the current positions.
OT: Joe Staley, Anthony Davis
OG: Mike Iupati, Chilo Rachal
C: Jonathan Goodwin
Reserves: Adam Snyder, Alex Boone, Daniel Kilgore, Tony Wragge

Fooch, are you saying Chilo is probably going to start over Snyder?

Right, but if Snyder is being valued as more of a swing back-up
Do you personally think that we might be seeing Chilo starting at RG again

Or start Snyder at RG where he's better than Chilo
If someone goes down they can throw Chilo in at RG and move Snyder around.
this
Should happen. Snyder still steps in as first backup if anyone goes down and Chilo takes his spot in that event

One injury, replace two lineman, i hate continuity too.
Wait for it, wait for it, yeah 49ers sign, an undrafted free agent, AGAIN!!
Snyder would have the most experience at any position other than Center...

Lets hope Chilo gets the nod , that would mean he stepped up his game and earned it , not anoited by Singletary ...!!
I'm your " Huckelberry "...it's just my game ...Jimmy Raye your no daisy ...!!
He's never been able to step up his game when it counts though
i.e. consistently in games.
I expect Snyder to get the nod.
True , but i haven't heard a thing about him through out the off season , maybe he manned up and is ready lead that train on O ...!!
I'm your " Huckelberry "...it's just my game ...Jimmy Raye your no daisy ...!!

When has it ever counted in SF?

I mean they could also start Snyder at right guard and if something happens at C or G then Snyder moves over and Chilo slots in. Lot of options.

I would think from Harbaughs statements thats there's few position that aren't up for grap ...!!
I'm your " Huckelberry "...it's just my game ...Jimmy Raye your no daisy ...!!
I would think that Chase Beeler would be first on the PS...
That would include large helpings of food to help him gain a bit of weight
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, either way, YOU'RE RIGHT !"
49ers did draft Mike Person in the 7th round
so, you would assume he is headed to the PS, a long with Beeler

Yes, he definitely looks more
like a tight end than a center at the moment. I sort of hoped he’d stick to the 53 though, if only so he could get more practice reps (the guy we just signed is a 3 year solution at most, in all likelihood).
person and Beeler on PS
Along with te, rb, qb, dt, lb, db

Are the 49ers trying any of their young players at LS?
I know Brian Jennings is one of the best in the league, but you could add a roster spot by utilizing a young player as a backup o-linemen and LS

Also remember that its now a 46 man game day roster. Unless they bring in a vet QB i could see them taking 2 QB's into the season
that would allow the team to take one more player

long snapping
He was the only guy on the special teams field working on long snapping. He’s considered one of the best in the league (if not the best). Don’t mess with a good thing.

don't know why
long snappers are a specialist kind of position and if you have a great one already no point in working out another one
"no point in working out another one" Uhhhhh, I disagree...
I believe that it’s essential that we have somebody else who can handle ls duties, who’s practiced it and has demonstrated ability in doing it, just in case Jennings should be injured.
After all was said and done, a lot more got said than done.
Jennings hasn't missed a game since he signed with the 49ers
the rules in place are designed so that a long snapper won’t get hurt in the game, and he’s not going to be out there running sprints and pulling a hamstring.
Uhhh what
I’m sure we can figure it out if it becomes necessary, but there’s no reason to keep an extra.
The post to which I was replying said NOTHING about keeping an extra long snapper...
it said “if you have a great one already no point in working out another”…
My suggestion wasn’t to keep two who are long snappers only, but to have another player who’s going to make your squad anyway at an “O” or “D” position work out as a backup long snapper, as insurance if Jennings should get injured.
I, for one, don’t buy the “guarantee” implied by smileyman that, since Jennings has never been injured and the rules protect him as the long snapper, that he is therefore bulletproof and will never be injured. He does go downfield on punt coverage, fends off attempted blocks, attempts to make the tackle on the punt returner.
If, God forbid, Jennings should be injured in the course of a game, I would very much like to have another player either on the field or the sideline, who has practiced long snapping and who can step in and do the job in Jennings’ absence.
After all was said and done, a lot more got said than done.

Haha I like the enthusiasm,
but we all know Alex will start. Vernon knows it and said it, and the coaches, while they talk about Kaep doing well, know that it’s a foregone conclusion barring injury. Kaep is a rookie. He’s making progress, but they’re still teaching him very basic things, like underneath throws, reads, footwork, all things that Alex is a veteran in. Kaep will be the starter, but not for a while.
Good analysis, Fooch
And I want Kilgore to make the team simply because of his name. If that isn’t a football name, I don’t know what is.
… Although, I suppose its good he isn’t a linebacker on another NFC West team, because then the name would have a different context.
Jim Harbaugh is our future!

Can't ever remember having too many O linemen
It’s just one of those positions where guys get hurt. Lot of big bodies in a small space. Quality backups are valuable.
one more than last year

That ESPN site is full of Arizona and Seattle fan trolls. They are self-smug because they think their teams kicked rear in free agency.
The prevailing assumption is that the 49ers are going to suck. They might be right, but I don’t like hearing it from other team’s trolls.
Jim Harbaugh doesn't just WANT winners, he MAKES them!
free agency starting to heat up for the 49ers
several solid components added recently and pretty excited about the possibilities of adding Edwards and/or Floyd.
Also appears that Aldon Smith is a stud at OLB and CK appears to have lots of the tools needed of an NFL QB

I like Aldon, but ‘stud’ in training camp is a long way from stud in the regular season. Every year we get hyped over players that never pan out or play below their talent, so let’s calm down.

17.4 AVG in 2008, 19.7 AVG in 2010. Huge down field threat to an offense that doesn’t have one. Took over as San Diego’s #1 receiver when Vincent Jackson held out last season and was on pace for a 1000 yards season before missing five games. And, is a monster of a receiver

Eh
if Ziggy rehabs from his injury successfully (questionable atm) he can go to the head of the class, or at least ahead of the the rooks. Ginn I think makes the team on ST alone, Crabs is gonna be on PUP or IR, it seems, Morgan is secure.
I figure we’ll carry 5 WR:
Free Agent
Morgan
Crabby
Ginn
A rookie/UDFA/bubble guy – I like Jurovich, but one of those guys will make it.
If Crabs goes on IR, bump up another bubble guy.
Why keep Ginn just for ST, when we have ample amounts of players on "O" & "D"...
that can do what he does, plus give a threat in other positions as well like a Adams for example. Feel Ginn is a one “trick pony” on this team & we need more than that to hold a roster spot.

have to see how he rehabs from that ankle break. The beat guys say he’s clearly not there yet wrt speed.
Who on the team is a lock to be as prolific a returner as Ginn?
Offensive line rotations get solved on Twitter?

From ESPN
ESPN’s Mark Schlereth thinks adding Braylon Edwards to the San Francisco 49ers would help Alex Smith and Vernon Davis quite a bit.
Adam Schefter said he thought Edwards could be had for a one-year deal, and that adding Edwards would give the 49ers a needed boost in free agency.
I can’t argue with those general points. Schefter also said he thought the 49ers were the favorites to sign Edwards.
Yes, I just did Twitter. Follow me for ultra intelligent insight.

I’m sure Tiki Barber was rumored to the 49ers you could find someone with a positive quote about it.

First Tiki sighting. Tiki Barber worked out yesterday w the Dolphins. Heard he looked good, Fins 1st wanna see how their current crop does.
I recall Westbrook signing last season
Lets just say some of the same people were popping the champagne cork than. None of these signings are impressive. Band aids … if things work out. These are signings teams point to a year later and shake their head while telling their fans they knew better.

Westbrook could've been great for the team
if we had an offensive coordinator who was halfway imaginative
Imaginative enough to find the Fountain of Youth
Dude was washed up. Played one week and could never get his legs back.

its funny how everybody has changed their tune about Alex
I hope the media doesn’t hype us up like they did last year. I think it would be better for the team to play the under dog role in the NFC West and surprise everybody if they have a good season.

I like these moves
For years Baas was a meatball with legs at Guard who couldn’t move fast enough and had one decent year at center. Goodwin is a vast improvement no matter what. Anyone mentioned as pro-bowl material is an upgrade, plus he handled all of Sean Payton’s stuff and was good at pulling and on screens as well. Good move.
Clements was an excellent run-support CB but anyone remember him gambling multiple times on WR’s and losing? I remember Roddy White taking him to town last year. Rogers is an improvement because he has better cover skills than Nate ever will.
Lawson could do 2 out of the 3 things that OLB’s in 3-4 have to do: Seal the edge and stop the run, and cover TE’s. What he couldn’t do was rush the passer, ever, and a 3-4 OLB has to be able to do that. I liked Manny but I’d say Aldon Smith will probably be better than him.
Franklin leaving is ok too as he mailed it in last season by accepting the franchise tender after training camp was over. His contribution last year was pathetic and all he proved is that once he got money he lost his motivation. Franklin was more of a liability last season than an asset. He rocked two years ago when he was bucking for the big contract but didn’t repeat that performance. Best to give some others a shot in his place.
Lastly, what no one is talking about is the huge overall improvement in our coaching staff. We have arguably the best special teams coach in the league, and finally we have an offensive-minded coach who will run plays and formations that the players could only dream of the last few years. “Hit’em in the mouf”, “what’s a game-plan?”, and “halftime adjustment pants-drop” disaster coach Mike Single-futz is gone and thank god so are the predictable “Gore up the gut 3x and punt” plays. Our O-line coaches are great, the secondary coach is a big improvement as well, and frankly, the fact that no one is on a tight leash and afraid to fail anymore is the best thing that could have happened to us.
I may be the only one but I am already excited about our moves and our team. I expect much more excitement from the players, much more excitement on offense, and also expect to see some interesting things on defense.
Fangio replacing Manusky will be the most interesting storyline for me. I am eager to see if Manusky is really as good a coordinator as people thought.

and forgot to mention
that all the players the new regime seem to be getting rid of are ex-gm Scot McCloughan’s picks. Perhaps McGM’s personnel-picking skills were given more weight than should have been? If so then glad to know he is with the seachickens and advising them on the important draft picks like Mr. Invisible Aaron Curry, lol.

good points.....
don’t know about Manusky being good with his “bend but don’t break” philosophy. But yes would love to see if Fangio can bring an imagination and creativity to the defense as we are anticipating to the offense

Wouldn't have been in those games
Show me a game a defense so called “lost” and I will show an offensive performance that would have hardly won any game.

Youre wrong about Lawson.
Wait for it, wait for it, yeah 49ers sign, an undrafted free agent, AGAIN!!
if wrong about Lawson
then why were no other teams interested in him? One-year deal in Cincy? That’s pathetic IF he truly was a lot better than we think.
I agree with Barrows that Manny would probably be better in a 4-3 scheme than anything else.
Manny is not bad, its just we needed him to do 3 out of 3 tasks and he could only do 2.
The other OLB can't do 1 out of 3
sd377 wants to ban me for unleashing the Kaepernick Supernova Gamma Ray
That's due to the offseason
a lot of guys are getting only one year deals that might have gotten multiple years before.
But he forced more fumbles than anyone on the defense, as if we dont need those.
Now we have no coverage LBs but Willis, I guess we should rely on him more.
Wait for it, wait for it, yeah 49ers sign, an undrafted free agent, AGAIN!!
is brian westbrook going to retire?

Chilo Rachal is terrible!
How does this guy keep his job? He may be able to drive block a bit but he is beaten like a drum consistently on pass protection. He personally has killed countless drives. QBs can’t step up because the pocket gets collapsed so quickly – definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed.
