CB Situation

[Eazy-E]

If we don't bring in a CB taller than 5'10 who is actually a decent player, we will get torched this season. It will be fun watching us try to defend Fitz week 1. Better yet, Nicks on the 13th.

Man Cap is going to get tortured

yeah i think im being optimistic. I really dont have any good things to say about CB2 right now.

[lightsout]

I'm honestly not sure.

I know Gamble's a vet, and a pretty good one, but this is an entirely new defense. He needs to be in there with the rest of those guys learning it.

IIRC, when I was there Monday, Gamble was watching and with the DBs during drills. Hopefully, he has been there every day. If that is the case, he should be OK from an understanding point of view. Execution is a whole other monster though. Hopefully, he can get it done.

Yeah, it's a bit of a pressing issue. Depending on how good/bad our QB's are, we could be competitive THIS year! The team has talent. The NFL's about matchups however and in today's game, in this division, you need to matchup well against strong passing attacks. That's why Philly for example is loading up on DB's. We at least need another 2nd tier CB, or Rivera and co. will have to get really creative defensively.

Would like to see us bring in a solid #2 CB

A proven starting caliber RG

If not a true starter at least a rotational DT and DE

Some OT depth

Oh but wait, we're in cap hell and don't have any money to spend. Yay (over)spending spree!

Well we can't repair every hole this season. The only GLARING starting hole is CB right now. Depth can be damned.

[armistice]

Bring in good CB to play opposite of Gamble or our defense is going to suffer, doesn't have to be as good as Gamble per se, but at least alongside the talent of our current CB's behind Gamble and taller. Both Captain and rookie guy is 5'9 or thereabouts.

[Jak3Allen]

If we don't pick anyone up to play CB then need not worry, Coach Ron and Mcdermott have a better idea about what we have defensively than all us. They know exactly what kind of division the NFC South is. They already know how we're going to defend those teams and bet money its gonna have alot to deal with LB blitzing...

No more balloon coverage BS

I think Schwartz will be fine at RG.

pretty sure this is where the last thread went sour. . .

If we're in cap hell then we'll make rosters moves that put us in place. Im sure Goodson could fetch some fair value to someone at this point. Lots of teams looking for bargains out there is what it looks like to me right now. I think the team has showed its going to be aggressive so I think we'll be getting someone to play opposite gamble some way or another. We'll see. Theyve made great roster moves so far.

Gamble is...well dunno what is wrong with Gamble

This Gamble thing is weird. I can't believe it's a simple virus. He has been almost invisible, no interviews, quotes, etc.

I am not sure everything is quite right with Chris..

[Ruff]

Chris Gamble has always been one of those guys that doesn't do a ton of interviews, etc. I don't look too much into that, but, I do think it's weird that he's been sick for about five days now.

Even when I was there Saturday, Chris was sorta standing to himself the whole practice. IIRC, he didn't participate in any 1 on 1 drills.

[PanthersPhan18]

The 49ers should have done the smart thing and release Carlos Rogers instead of Clements. Damn them!
