Lynch has brought in a new attitude to the 49ers. I heard an interview of Lynch when they released Ahmad Brooks, in which he said that he tries to look at deals from the player's perspective and to honor requests so long as the requests were consistent with the team's goals. They felt that Eli Harold would be getting more playing time this year to groom him as Brooks' replacement. Brooks said he wanted his release so he could seek a starter's role elsewhere on a winning team, so Lynch honored his request. When asked why, Lynch said that getting a reputation around the league of being player friendly will make a team a desired destination for players. there is a full on youth movement going at the 49ers. Don't be surprised if Joe Staley is traded in the coming weeks.
