Now this is what I like to hear/read/see!

Oh yeah.

The kid was totally lost at sea at the start of the season.

He had a fugly game against SF in the opener & I slagged the hell out of him on here.

He folded back his ears and busted his ass, until he was a serviceable OLB.

He probably has the perfect coach on the planet to teach him every trick in the book in Greenie.

I think he'll make some strides and give us a player at LOLB.

I didn't think he'd make it, but I'm hoping I was wrong.

The kid seems to have a good attitude, he could make a huge difference in our D.

Hand me the dipper, I'll have a sip out of the big barrel of Kool-Aid.

I'm hopin' too. The way we play defense (mostly nickle), maybe the size/stoutness factor overrides some of the limitations in coverage. It's good that he's a bull rusher too. With Matthews on the other side, he's going to have plenty of chances to disengage and run down QB's with his elite speed as they're chased from the pocket by Matthews. Perry can really run.

I don't know, it's hard to picture him being an ideal base 3-4 type player, but in the 2-4 (extra DB on the field) it might be a perfect fit for him.

I vaguely recall the predraft scoop on him was that he had a pro's attitude.

There was a recent thread suggesting this wasn't the case.

We will see. If, as PB and Brandon suggest he turns into a LW type then Katy, bar the door, cause CM III will be pushing 20 sacks.

IMO, I saw enough last year to be VERY enthused, provided his attitude is right.

3rd down defense:

Matthews, Raji, Datone, Neal would form the perfect 4-1 front, with Brad Jones as LB

Thoughts?

[Pugger]

If Perry can drill Kaepernick once or twice like he did Andrew Luck, Kaepernick (or any other QB) might be less inclined to run. Throwing the ball away will look like a nice option.

I can't wait to see Nick slam into to Kaepernick - without hitting CK's helmet - a few times myself.

I don't think teams would enjoy facing this group at all if you add Nick Perry to this ensemble.

Have to see D. Jones against live NFL competition first to be sure. But I like B. Jones in the dime and I have to think that is the plan and a significant reason he got the deal he did.

[Bretsky]

Harvey? PB?

I am prety sure I'm in this group as well. However, the Bikini Gals have disappointed me as tey have fallen off the face of the earth and have not appeared in any Grailistic scenes, playboy, or Penthouse.

I offered to market them and make them big time but they turned me down

I need something new that is kind to the eyes.......any suggestions ?

I think they'll experiment with Matthews playing as the dime backer. Neal, Raji, D. Jones, Perry with Matthews stunting with either Raji or D. Jones. It's the best way to get your best pass rushers on the field at the same time and Matthews has been successful rushing from there in the past. I think/hope Daniels will push Raji for snaps as well.

How can you make this proclamation without seeing the group with live snaps?

It's the offseason and all we have is speculation, fantasy and dreams to hold on to. It's a solid 3 months before real football. Let us dream, wouldja'?

Trust me ... there are better things to dream about.

Yes...like a hot super model on her knees in front of you while you sit in your la-z-boy watching the Packers winning the Super Bowl.
