    Yeah, that's why I voted the way I did before the draft. I "pretend" nothing.

    Pls, spew your misinformed sterotype in some other direction.

    He's a baller who sticks his nose in there with the best of em and sniffs out deflections and balls on the ground. It's a little early yet but so far so good. He'll be exposed if/when he has to cover for any length of time down the middle or gets matched up in the slot against any number of big fast tight ends or just about any inside receiver. A ton of running backs out of the backfield will even make him look bad before long. Isolate him in the passing game and keep him from hiding in a zone and he'll have issues. I'd still say if he displaces Willis or Bowman next year that means the Niners D is more susceptible than it once was.

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

    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 ?

    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.

    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

    His NFL career lasted for 8 starts.

    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.
