preseason is really meaningless...
but damn the niners look like a 4-12 team already

You must have missed Jon Lynch having a great draft during your morale boycott or whateverEh, maybe at least we'll get some valuable draft picks from it.
I'm just not confident they'll use them wisely.
Strength of our defense /team IMO. I think everyone belongs on the inside but are being pushed to the ends because of depth (Arik-Thomas). Solomon straight destroyed a guard when they slid him inside. + Bowman/Foster being our better playersGonna be another tough year. I don't like our defensive interior. Seemed to be pushed around too easily yet again.
That's what I mean. It should be the strength of the D as it was in the Harbaugh era and on paper it looks good but Buckner and Arik gotta produce this year. I think Foster will be a stud but it might take him a year to really hit the level he's capable of. Thomas looks really good already with a lot of room to grow since he hasn't had much time to integrate himself to the team/league. Our run defense should be much better this year but I still worry about the Pass D. Alexi Smith marched it down on us the first drive. ugh.Strength of our defense /team IMO.

Thomas played mostly on the outside, he made plays from the inside and outside though. I still prefer him sliding inside on passing downs. Arik was pretty invisible and I don't think he is ever going to fit at LEO. Aaron Lynch is still the best pure edge rusher on the team and they have him sitting on the 3rd string. He had 2 sacks when he came into the game with Solomon Thomas on the inside of his side.The niners drafted the same position in the first round 3 years running so you would hope that either the run defense or pass rush would finally show up. Were Buckner and Thomas inside on our new look 4-3?
The day we fired Harbaugh was the day we decided to tank for a half decade.Hey, it's better to bottom out for a few years some times. Vs going 6-10/7-9 every season

Our run defense couldn't possibly be worse than it was last season. But if this is how our front 4 looks, this means there is no room for the NT we have? We have signed Earl Mitchell and have Quinton Dial so I figure one of them is at DTThomas played mostly on the outside, he made plays from the inside and outside though.

Lynch - Thomas - Buckner - Dummervil with Arik getting snaps at every position to keep the lines moving on passing downs has so much potential
Yea I was talking strictly passing downs. Earl Mitchell has a the base NT/DT spotOur run defense couldn't possibly be worse than it was last season.
