just heard on espn. details forthcoming. apologies if already posted.

 

CB Eric Wright was drafted by the Browns, played for the Lions in 2011 when we played them, spent a season in Tampa Bay in 2012 when we played them twice, and was traded to the 49ers in the offseason.

 

Our current offensive roster has played him three times, so that's good news.

As a 49ers fan, this makes no sense. Eric Wright is horrible, and Nnamdi played solid in the few games he played.

 

 

I have a feeling Nnamdi goes back to Oakland. He won't have to move his family, and as Nick Foles showed us, the Raiders desperately need help.

 

Nnamdi is still a very good press man corner on the right side of the field, I don't know why the Eagles and 49ers moved him the the left, or forced him into more zone coverage.

are carlos rogers and tarell brown still your starting CBs? it looks like asomugha was second string anyway, so it's not like this would effect the starting lineup.

 

either way i expect we'll take advantage of this by spreading that secondary out on the field. expect to see a lot of smith/lafell/ginn sets to see if we can get anyone lined up against wright.

Eric and Nnamdi are like the same player. Both started out has absolute studs then fell off hard...We can only hope the coaches seen something in practice that made them go with Wright over Nnamdi.

Yes, those are the starters, and Brock is the #3, and has been VERY good.

 

No, he won't make a huge difference, I just don't agree that the guy he was cut for is better. Nnamdi came in on a min contract and his contract was all incentives. No reason to cut him AT ALL.

Asomugha wasn't a starter.

Because "a lot of guys are winning with 2's and 3's". Our best corner for years could damn near lock wide out's all day but he would still draw penalties in the flow of the game. I s'pose the philosophy is that if a top 3 corner is gonna draw flags at bad times then what difference does it make. Take care of whats up front first and the guys in the back will flourish regardless.

Yeah, but sometimes they move him over and put Rogers in the slot. Brock was the starter two years ago and got hurt, then Culliver was inserted and played masterfully and never lost his spot. It's ashame we lost Culliver before the season started.

 

 

Oh, and we cut Marcus Cooper just before the season started and he's now graded as the 4th best CB in the NFL  for the Chiefs and only played in 5 games.

 

We had an embarressment of riches to start the year.

What about San Diego? Just another Cali team he wouldn't have to more for.

Nnamdi has to go through claims, so we're going to be there the bottom of the list.  I'd claim him for war secrets and to see what he has left. He's only making vet minimum.

 

As for Eric Wright, he gets burned a lot.  Never liked his game.

 

That is for players with less then 4 accrued years.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
