If Keith Lewis Stays Who Goes?

If K. Lewis stays, who goes?

Recently signed S Keith Lewis was a special team standout with the 49ers. If he can impress enough to help our ailing special teams and keep his job after Wesley returns then who goes? Who can we release that could be expendable without serious depth concerns?

If Lewis plays well, we may keep him because remember...we do not have another legit safety behind Harris.

We have too many corners and frankly, Martin is a project. I think we could put him on the practice squad. I seriously doubt he'll get picked up. Either that or Martin could get a hangnail and get IRed.

i'm not sure who should be released but, imo, wesley is now a must for special teams. you know that returners are going to be worried about him getting there. gunners are supposed to strike fear in the heart of the returner and make them not want to touch that ball. who better than someone who was just suspended for knocking another returner out? wesley was less than a half second form having a clean hit. if lewis can do a good job as a gunner then no way should we let him go. keep him and wesley and cut some underachiever on the roster. as poorly as we have covered punts we need to have gunners who can at least make the returner hesitate.

Only person I see him conceivably threatening is Quinton Teal, but I too think he's a temp.
this would be the right call...giving teal the boot in favor of lewis. teal is pretty useless. he's not a good special teamer and he's not a good safety at all. if you can't do one or the other well then you shouldn't be on the team.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By TD alt · Posted

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.

      Mr. 0-2 every year to start the season in his career. Last year was the first year he ever played a week 3 game.
