not a surprise, but munnerlyn is on thin ice.

Not really. He’s been running as our starting nickel all camp so far and has a contract that we can’t really get out of at all this year.

I would have said Munnerlyn but I think with the Cockrell injury his chances of making the team went up big time, since he has experience both as a veteran and in the system, as well as having played on the outside and in the nickel.

I could see Kyle Love being cut if there is another DT either at camp or cut with upside.

If the Manhertz injury lingers, I could see us reaching an injury settlement with him and keeping Olsen, Ian Thomas, and Armah as the 3rd TE/FB.  I think that is contingent on believing there is a 4th RB worthy to keep for ST purposes behind CMC, CJ Anderson, and CAP.

I really don't see any big surprises.  The biggest one to me will be if we really are comfortable rolling with GG as the backup QB.  That to me will be the biggest unknown come cut time.  And the off-chance there is a veteran DB or Oline the coaching staff thinks will be an upgrade.

      If there's another QB that came to the combine after packing on 15 lbs of water weight to hide his playing weight, I don't remember it.  I understand it's all part of the pre-draft game, and he participated. The FO was stupid and ignored huge red flags.  On a side note though, I was at the airport a few weeks ago and saw a basketball team going through and decided to try and look through them. I'm 6'2 and these guys were 6'6 and up. I was amazed by how much I couldn't see around them. And these guys weren't 300 plus in pads. I still think he's having a hell of a time seeing the field at the NFL speed.

      There is merit to the points you're making here. On the flip side one could argue it took us investing 150 million in the oline for him to have a breakout season. And he has still yet to hit 1k rushing yards in a season. As far as Brooks goes the position does not require that significant of a draft investment for many other teams. That's not being negative it's just a matter of fact. The 49ers did quite well with a UDFA running back while McCaffrey was out. It is understandable that some people have concerns. That being said it boils down to whether or not you believe in the player. We just have to see what happens with him and Brooks.

      Okay, that day in Vegas had to embarrass him completely. Andy showed him how to do the job.  What I think when I go there, why did it take Andy? He has had game after game of watching actual NFL QBs work and that didn't do it?  Anyhow Andy did not mess around, he stood in there and did his job and got rid of the ball ahead of the pressure. Down the field. With the same players Bryce had. Night and day.  If that didn't wake him up nothing ever would. But I don't think he has any sort of top NFL QB in him, he just lacks the full tool kit.
