So no "really hard not to like Alex Smith?" threads?

I think Alex Smith is gonna suck in Reid's offense. Reid runs a progression that goes from deep to shallow. Alex Smith will have to go through two to three reads before he gets the ball away, simply due to his inability to hit the intermediate and deep routes with authority - which will result in him taking even more sacks than he used to.

we have to have the worse NT/DE combo in the league

we literally have the "potential" of Dontari Poe because of his out of the world measurable than absolutely unproductive dog shit after that

there is no other 34 team this bad with d-line. It's going to kill us every time good teams drop back to pass

With the scheme change I think there will be cavernous holes against the run.

I thought Lilja came out of retirement at the request of Reid ?

**BossChief** · 04-30-2013, 10:01 PM

Our only hope on defense is that the switch to a 1 gap, attacking alignment fits the talent we have better than the 2 gap read and react d we have been running with the exception of a stretch of games in 2011 and another stretch last year.

I am actually excited to see this defense coming into it's own with Houston and Hali rushing the passer on most downs instead of dropping into coverage...I can see Houston having a 15+ sack season.

It all hinges on a few factors...

Smith/Robinson holding up in coverage
The DL being able to create some push
Someone emerging as the starting safety opposite Berry
The offense being able to sustain drives enough to give the defense time to stay fresh and make adjustments

Those things work out well for us, we might be in for some fun.

No, as I said, there are 4 more players that need to be added to my list. Also, it is said that DeQuan Menzie and Danta Robinson could end up as Safeties.

I agree. But, I said there are still 4 more names to add to this list. Also, Reid said that Catapano could be a OLB or a DE.

Typically, 8 - 9 DBs are kept. I kept 9. A few of my CBs and Safeties can play either position. As far as the WRs, 6 is a good number. Who knows what Baldwin will do. McCluster and Wylie have been injured. Hemmingway is unproven. They will probably need all 6. They may need to add another WR and send Hemmingway back to the PS. I don't know about Jones or Zombo, but Catapano could also be a DE.

At this point he's proven as much as Baldwin.

Any chance Reid/Dorsey tell Baldwin adios?

I think having a competent QB will make Baldwin more competent. I really don't think we had any clue what we had with most of our receivers, since Cassel was SOOO bad.

We need to offer him up for Blackmon.
