Camp MVP should be taken with a grain of salt. Rivera's MVP last camp was Armanti Edwards who didn't even make it to the halfway point of the season before he was released.

Armanti Edward>Hardy/Alexander= Child please! These guys will actually benefit the team!

Our OTs make Alexander look like the MVP of our team. If that doesn't scare you about our tackle situation, then nothing will.

They did well against our pass rush and Buffalo's pass rush, so I'm not too scared about the situation.

I think that is the name of the award.

The "Armanti Edwards TC MVP Award"

You're not giving Alexander much credit, huh?  Dude has some talent, and that's probably the only reason that Dave Gettleman kept him around notwithstanding Alexander's problems.  If he has finally matured, then there are reasons to think that he will make a similar leap as C.J. and Hardy did when they were working their way up the food chain.  He has shown flashes.

To my eyes Alexander doesn't have CJ's strength, nor Hardy's speed and fluidity. I wouldn't compare him to either of those players. He has good height and size, so that does some work for him, but he doesn't really excel at anything imo. Doesn't mean he can't be a solid contributor to our defense, but I wasn't impressed in the past with his play. The jury is still out of course, and maybe he's made a big leap in play, but I just don't think he has a high ceiling. Time will tell, and R.R has the final say.

It's too small of a sample size to really get a feel for their blocking ability imo. I'm worried, but hoping for the best. If our OT situation tuns out well then we'll be in great shape.

He has played on the same level as many of our players their first two years.  Hardy and Johnson were not blowing up the stat sheet their first two years either.  Alexander plays the run well and does get after the QB.  He has some good athletic ability and has done well in the playing time he was allotted.  CJ had Hardy both struggled early and didn't receive much PT either.  Alexander is coming along just fine if you compare him to where our starters were in year three.  So chill out and watch this DE depth produce this year.

We should have a better idea this week, since the ones will be out there until half-time, or later.  The fact that they're keeping our pass rush at bay, and didn't give up a sack against Buffalo's ones, makes me feel pretty good.  They won't see much tougher pass rushes all season.

      They will be if they extend Young but I don't think we're there just yet. Morgan and Canales are tied and I don't believe Tepper is going to go look for a new front office for Bryce as things stand.

      I was playing around with the ESPN playoff predictor and it shows if 49ers and Rams finish with same record, the Rams hold the tiebreaker.

      This is my thinking as well. Seattle played as good as they could on defense and Panthers still had a chance until those back to back turnovers.  I don't think the Rams played particularly well in their game against us, alot things went our way in order to win.  Someone pointed out the Rams were bad on the east coast road games and Seattle has been the better road team but they just fought a hard contested game against the Panthers, and now they travel to San Fran this week for their biggest game of the season to determine the division and if they are the overall #1 seed in the NFC or will be traveling for the Wildcard weekend.  If they lose they then travel back cross the country to play a team they've just beaten two weeks ago, not saying they won't be favored against the Panthers but the energy of hosting our first playoff game in 10 years along with the get back effect of having just lost to this team could be huge.
