Where Are They Now, Part 5: The Defensive Line
We're moving through this series now and only have two more installations to go after this one. I'll be going over the defensive linemen today, next week we'll cover the linebackers (apparently our All-Time Niner team plays with 12 guys on the defense), the week after that it will be the secondary...
49ers All-Time Cornerback #2
And so we move on to our last defensive position, the second cornerback. Jimmy Johnson appears to have won a tight battle with Eric Wright for the #1 cornerback position. Some people took issue with no Deion Sanders, but as I said, I felt like having the Gary Plummer rule (4 years for...
49ers All-Time Cornerback #1
We wrapped up our inside linebacker vote with Gary Plummer getting a lot of the popularity vote to run away with the spot. Upsetting to some, but such is a democracy. Today we move on to the first of our two cornerback positions. When we last ran this ballot I included Deion Sanders on the CB #2...
49ers All-Time Inside Linebacker #2
In a result that shouldn't surprise many people, Ken Norton, Jr. ran away with the vote in the #1 inside linebacker poll. It's kind of intriguing that at this point his percentage is sitting at the same 58% as last time around. As mentioned previously, I've decided to implement the Gary Plummer...
49ers All-Time Inside Linebacker #1
A month ago I put up a post asking whether we should include Patrick Willis in our all-time voting process. My general concern was that Willis has performed exceedingly well, but it's been too short a time-span. Folks would vote for him because he's the hot topic of the day. Not a bad thing, but...
49ers All-Time Fullback
Last week we wrapped up the offensive line with the #2 guard, won by Randy Cross. With that completed I thought we'd wrap up the offense as a whole with the fullback position. I think this position creates an area of debate that I'd like to resolve for future ballots. Joe Perry is currently the...
49ers All-time Guard #2
With the first preseason game kicking off last Friday, I overlooked the all-time team on Thursday. We selected our #1 offensive guard last Monday, with Guy McIntyre edging out Randy Cross. Today we'll wrap up our offensive line re-vote with the second offensive guard. I've made a revision to...
49ers All-time Guard #1
Training camp kicked into gear last week so I decided to take a week off from the all-time team balloting. I'm still not quite sure what to do at inside/middle linebacker, so we're moving on to the rest of the offensive line this week. We selected our second offensive tackle in Harris Barton, who...
Patrick Willis and our all-time team
Morning practice should be wrapping up soon (or already wrapped up), meaning Maiocco and Barrows will have reports on what went down. I do know that Patrick Willis sat out the morning practice with a mild ankle strain (not a sprain). We'll try and get more up later. In the meantime, rather than...
49ers All-time Offensive Tackle #2
In another expected result, Jesse Sapolu ran away with the all-time center vote. In another interesting, but not entirely shocking result, Eric Heitmann grabbed 10% of the vote. Having current guys on the ballot can probably lead to some slightly skewed results. Given some of the upcoming votes,...
