    So far so good.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    I'm ready to say Borland is the real deal. DROY.

    Got flattened by Lynch in a few one on one attempts. He's not much of a heavy hitter, nor is he fast, but he plays efficiently and navigates to the ball very well in traffic. He'll never be an All-Pro level player, but on a good team he can succeed.

    When I saw somebody came in here again I figured Borland had a bad game and somebody was going to hammer me.

    I assume he had another good game ?

    I'd say good but not great. Nhe missed two tackles (that I witnessed myself) but otherwise seemed solid.

    " Without Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman you would think the San Francisco 49ers would be left struggling at inside linebacker, but the emergence of Chris Borland means they look as strong as ever at the position.

    Borland has been a tackling machine and looks like a draft steal given he was selected in the third round."

    That's over-the-top hype. He's been decent, but I saw one game where he made several mistakes and got run over and around. Better than Hawk or Jones, though. LOL

    .....and then he quit.

    His NFL career lasted for 8 starts.

    Wrong again!

    Though with hindsight, my usual brilliant self.

    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Isn't that the truth! Think the 49ers might be looking for linebackers?

    Won't matter. 49ers were already gonna draft best available ILB. Most mocks showed that.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.
