RI: Allen: 'We're going 100 mph getting ready for free agency'

Thought I'd throw this in here

--OT Tony Pashos : The 49ers will sit down with Pashos' agent at the scouting combine. Pashos has said in the past that he wants to start. The 49ers, meanwhile, are expected to draft an offensive tackle this year. In addition, Pashos' long-time offensive line coach, Chris Foerster, is now in Washington and this is expected to be a weak market for all players, including offensive tackles. The Redskins need offensive linemen, they have deeper pockets than the 49ers and they have Pashos' offensive line coach. All signs point to him playing in D.C.

I think he'd be a good back-up but I don't see him as a starter.

That name is awfully familiar, did that dude play at Cal? It sounds like he hasn't been starting, is that the case?

Barely qualifies as a zone blocker. I'd rather bring in Tra Thomas as a stopgap.

Comment: Pashos has been with two teams during his seven year career, four seasons with Baltimore and the past three with Jacksonville. He started all 16 games at right tackle for the Jaguars in 2008 and does a good job of anchoring that side of the offensive line. He is a massive tackle with long arms, excellent strength and adequate athleticism. He is a powerful drive blocker that often simply engulfs opponents and uses his long arms to lock up opponents and drive them off the line. He is not a natural knee bender and has to work to keep his pad level down to leverage his blocks. He tends to grab wide to engulf opponents and has just enough foot agility to work his way around and seal opponents off. He has limited lateral range in pas protection and often has to turn his hips to run rushers on by the pocket. He is susceptible to counter moves but can sink his hips to hunker down versus the bull rush.

Oh yeah, well what about this post where you agree with me:

Man Dirtbag, you're right. Bringing in Tra Thomas is easily the smart thing to do. You're easily the best poster on this fourm and twice over on ES, even though you've never posted there. This post was not edited or manipulated in any way shape of form by Dirtbag

I argued that we should pick up Pashos 9 months ago - right after the Jags drafted two OT's high.
