If there is one thing Hurney can do,

Its always hitting 1st rounders out of the park

As some draft experts said "how do you even let that happen, letting him fall to 16"?

 

 

Nothing the guy could do.  Like one of the comments said, he jump cuts like a freaking RB

No one is going to give 94 credit for his stunt here? Obada looked like he belongs as well. 

The rest of the team...not so much. 

 

just read an article..on that play, Efe saw it ahead of time and called Brian's name.  Efe said he knew he had to shoot the gap and tie up both OL.  Brian knew what he was doing and you saw the result.

Good communication.  Efe should make the team.  Burns more advanced in his game than I even hoped for.

Efe has impressed me in each game thus far. He isn't a traditional 3-4 defensive end but he appears to have the knowledge, strength, desire, and ability to move to OLB/DE in multiple defense situations and could move inside. He is supremely athletic and with Burns, Haynes, KK, and McCoy, that could be devastating. 

Also, they practice this stunt. I saw a clip of GMC and KK doing the same stunt in a drill early on in camp. Worked like a charm.

It's been a long time since we've had a pass rusher that could consistently affect the game...

We have saw glimpses of that from several guys in the subsequent years (Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy, Mario Addison), but never anything sustained.

What's interesting is that the best year we had have in recent memory in terms of rushing the passer (2013) was when these above guys were our top 3 DE's.

I'm hoping that the combo of Addison, Irvin, Burns, and Haynes can approach this level, especially with McCoy, Short, and hopefully Obada providing some interior push

Personnel considered we should have one of the better pass rushes in the NFL this season, hopefully it all comes together Week 1 and on.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
