would be a decent 3rd safety, epic boner city jam, and more of a 3-4 rush backer. wouldn't have much of a place here i believe

Yeah, Tanard also played some CB at Syracuse, so i bet we could use him as a nickleback if need be.

I really liked foster when he was coming out, but thought he was a DE not a DT, does he offer much against the run?

And from what i've read from 49ers fans, and another thread about Lawson, he isn't much of a passrusher, but is very good in coverage, setting the edge vs the run, and a better fit for a 4-3 SLB.

Ramses Barden?

I want a center! I want center! Well, realistically BPA, but a center would make me very happy.

bigbluedefense · 03-01-2011, 12:49 PM

I don't want the Center from Penn State. I can't stand prospects from Penn State.

**** Penn State. The Eagles of college football.

If he is a good prospect then I don't mind. We have a good OL foundation where we can develop him, and we have a great OL coach. So I am not worried if it's Stefan or pouncy or whoever else. Get me a center!

Forenci · 03-01-2011, 01:06 PM

You should be worried because Pouncey isn't that great and Wisniewski is good, but unspectacular player.

Just because we've got a good OLine coach doesn't mean we should overdraft a position of need.

JOE LEFEGED
he ran fast. future special teams aceeeeee

Giantsfan1080 · 03-01-2011, 01:46 PM

scottyboy · 03-01-2011, 05:45 PM

That's awesome. Rutgers players usually test really well at the combine.

TheFinisher · 03-02-2011, 05:02 PM

A.J. Hawk just hit the market, might be the Mike you guys are looking for.

scottyboy · 03-03-2011, 09:06 AM

hixon re-signed. i was kind of just assuming it would happen anyway, but it's official. terms haven't been released I don't think, but it's great to have him back

Giantsfan1080 · 03-03-2011, 09:52 AM

I guess Hagan, Clayton, and Thomas will not be around next year. I liked the way Thomas was playing on specials.

clayton and thomas are both signed through next year i believe, so i wouldn't write them off just yet. Although keeping thomas is probably more likely. He also impressed me on special teams.

bigbluedefense · 03-03-2011, 02:04 PM

I like Hagan. I really want to keep Hagan.

BaLLiN · 03-03-2011, 11:32 PM

What ever happened to that WR that blew up during our preseason games? He went on IR for something just to stay on the team, do we still have him and if so do we keep him?

victor cruz, and yes he's still on the team. He got put on IR even though he only had a minor injury to make room for someone (will beatty maybe?). I'm really looking forward to seeing him again.

BaLLiN · 03-06-2011, 02:19 PM

are we going to resign smith longterm? id be extremely pissed if not. Even if we do, id definitely want to get Plax in camp, he is such a mismatch for DB's it would definitely benefit Eli as well as the other receivers. (also one of the best WR run blockers I've ever seen)

1. Nicks
2. Smith
3. Manningham
4. Plax
5. Hixon
6(7?).Hagan/Barden/Cruz/Thomas/Clayton

I dont see why we can't bring Plax back, he still has alot of friends on the team, players who frequently visited him and some on here said Coughlin even visited him, i would love to have him back.

With the injuries we had last year, the inconsistency of Nicks and Manningham, It would be nice to have a bigger target that we can ween into a bigger role. Barden hasn't showed us anything yet, and all things are pointing toward him being a dud. Also with Pascoe's versatility (TE and FB) we could save a roster spot for another WR. Cruz and Thomas are the guys id keep, although Hagan is usually consistent.

NY+Giants=NYG · 03-06-2011, 03:30 PM

He was a headache when he was here. I think while he has friends, I don't see him wanting to come back. I can see him in Miami or maybe with the Panthers, with Shockey. Probably wants to be near better weather and closer to Miami for the offseason. I think Reese is playing the PC answer by saying we will investigate all options, but I highly doubt we have any intention of bringing Plax back.

bigbluedefense · 03-07-2011, 07:50 AM

I'd like him back. Look at Vick, give a guy 2 years and you get rewarded for it.

What's the worst that can happen? He'll get a tiny contract and if he's a pain, you cut him. I think he's going to be motivated to be great again.

And while I'm sure he's lost some speed, you can't teach size. And he knows how to use his size too. I think he'd be at the very least a great redzone threat.

I'd like for us to bring him back. I'm guessing we don't though.

we absolutely do not need him. I also disagree with nicks/MM being inconsistent. MM shined when nicks and smith went down, beating some pro bowl corners week in and week out to boot. I wouldn't even be that upset if we didn't bring smith back, he's a great receiver but we'd be set even without him
