[quote=44ever;532437]Smoot, has there been any more talk of another FA aquisition? And do you think we have any interest in getting Marcus back?[/quote]

Maybe some line help for depth purposes, no word on Marcus returning

Is Willis the front-runner? Personally what's your guess... do we make further restructures/cuts to add him (or another lineman) and who could be a possible casualty?

Ya we got to get him, he's proven and should be cheap, plus we don't have to waste a draft pick on a punter

[quote=SFREDSKIN;532418]My concern with Taylor and Carter is that they are tweeners (undersized) maybe with Haynesworth in the middle it might be different. We need a replacement for Taylor going into 2010, Daniels is pre-historic and coming back from injury and Evans could sign with the 49ers tomorrow.[/quote]

Daniels is already gone we let his contract void, he's a FA.

Last night I heard that Philly was out of the race for Houshmendzadeh, after claiming they would do whatever it takes to bring him in. It seems likely that he will land in Minnesota now.

[quote=Mattyk72;532549]Daniels is already gone we let his contract void, he's a FA.[/quote]

I wonder who goes if Daniels comes back, which is very possible. Does he play end and Taylor goes to linebacker? Or is he a backup DT. Griffin and Haynesworth start, Montgomery/Golston (my guess is they're hoping to trade one of them) and Daniels backup, and Alexander hangs around as well.

we'll probably only do 9 DL - 5 DTs, 4 DEs... same deal since at least 2004.

I'd guess if daniels comes back, JT would spend more time at LB, depending on how well each plays.

daniels would be a good runstuff/goal line sub at DE.

Re: 2009 Free Agent Signings
 

Let's get crowell

Re: 2009 Free Agent Signings
 

Any idea why the team isn't going after Igor Olshansky? I mean he's young, seems to be strong against the run (doesn't appear to be a great pass rusher though), just a thought now that we have cap room.

[QUOTE]2008 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc.
Grade: 79 | Key
Alert: None

Comment: Olshansky is a physical freak with tremendous size and a body builders' frame. He is tall with long arms and big, powerful hands. His strength is rare and he carries very little extra fat on his powerful frame. He presses massive offensive tackles off his body with ease and is a very good player against the run. He stays square to the line of scrimmage and is very difficult to move off the point. His leverage and hand usage continue to improve, but moving this man backwards is a serious chore. Olshansky is very tough and works hard on and off the field. When he hits the ball carrier, he inflicts serious punishment and is very capable of jarring the ball loose on contact. He isn't an elite pass-rusher and needs to add more moves to his arsenal, but he still can bull rush most opponents into the pocket. He isn't the most fluid athlete, but does run well in a straight line. Due to his flexibility issues, his pass-rush skills suffer. He also could stand to be quicker off the line and consistently get off the ball with better pad level. Olshansky is still relatively young and is an ascending player. While his pass-rush and recognition skills need to be honed, he is an excellent fit as a 3-4 defensive end.[/QUOTE]

Re: 2009 Free Agent Signings
 

probably cause he plays in a 3-4

I hope not, I liked him in Arizona, he won't be that great for the niners this year than he would have been for the cardinals this year

Re: 2009 Free Agent Signings
 

A source told FOXSports.com that the New York Giants running back has agreed to a four-year, $17 million contract with Tampa Bay. Ward will earn $6 million guaranteed in 2009 and salaries over the next two seasons that would raise the three-year value to $13 million.

Re: 2009 Free Agent Signings
 

cromwell, willis anyone? how about nugent (K) and smith (P)? burnett?

looks like we were closer to the cap then we might have thought though.

Burnett going to the Chargers?

Evans to make a decision by Friday.
Its either us or the 49ers per Adam Schefter.

Not sure

Re: 2009 Free Agent Signings
 

Coles could be going to Cincy (or the Bills). Imagine Ocho Cinco and Myer-Emco (people in Montgomery County get that reference) on the same team. Locker room big enough for the two of them?
