Would he tell on me though?

Just kidding!!!!!!! Obviously not, but I couldn't resist jumping at the opportunity of rustling a few jimmies on this late friday afternoon.

But on a serious note, a mean streak isn't something you can just develop. Hanging out with Norwell ain't going to do jack poo, it's something you have or you don't. Like I said I don't mind this signing because of the low risk, I haven't paid any attention to the product Martin brings on the field so I can't bash this signing.

 

Disagree.

 

Sometimes, teammates can arguably have a bigger influence on players than coaches do.

 

Turner talked about how he thought he was 'nasty' till Norwell showed him a whole other level.

 

For that matter, how many stories have you seen of bullying victims going apes--t on people when they've finally had enough?

 

As mentioned, I'm not his biggest fan, but I acknowledge the possibilities are worth what minimal risk we're taking.

2nd last part I agree with. We can only hope everything finally clicks and being in a good environment helps him out. I get that Miami was a mess of a situation but I'm not sure why the Niners gave up on him so quickly when he's still under his rookie contract.

The Niners gave up on him for the same reason they gave up on most of their coaches.

 

He was associated with Harbaugh.

mean streak or not, he and oher are insanely better than who we had last year.

 

those two with our interior line and remmers for rotational work makes for what cam has never had...a complete, reliable and solid OL.

 

none of our OTs may be all-pro, but seriously, do they have to be? all we need is reliable. oher is healthy now and back with the OL coach that helped make him so good in baltimore and martin is in a very good and stable lockerroom situation (ie, no drama).

 

and consider this....oher, martin, and remmers is the base for what we have to work with heading into the season. they are the foundation that can be built upon and added to. even if we do nothing else, the OL as a whole unit is much better than it was last year or even the previous year (and no i'm not saying either are better than gross).

@RapSheet: Hard not to like what #Panthers have done at tackle: Signed Oher, claimed Martin. Good value, won’t affect comp picks, creates competition

Even Ian Rapoport sees the big picture.

 

More...

Michael Oher was injured and played bad. Isn’t actually bad RT @RobSchroeder12: @RapSheet both players are bad, but other than that I agree

      Honestly, I have only one pair of white shoes (only because they were new and like $4 from the Goodwill) other than my easily-cleaned Crocs. A man's got to think ahead.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By shaq · Posted

      Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season?    My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he  exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.
