Too bad, that 90% of the 49er blogg users on this sight, are full of crap. There is all this baloney going around, that has nothing to do with the up-coming season, this and that ,that has nothing to do with the problems that have really haunted the 49ers, these last three(3)years. NOLAN IS A DEFENSIVE COACH, PERIOD. Nolan inhereted A West Coast offensive roster, so they hired a WCO OC Mike McCarthy. He stayed one year, then left to Coach the Packers. Now the West Coast offense is a Dink & Dunk offense. Three(3)step drop, 7-yrd pass, receiver takes it 65-yrds. A WCO has smaller, agile, athletic, zone blocking offensive lineman, like the Texans or Bronco’s have. Big/Tall wide receivers. Now in comes Norv Turner, out of the verticle passing schools of Sid Gillman, Don Coryall, and Ernie Zampese. [He was set up for failure], because in San Francisco, Turner didn’t have the offensive personal, AGAIN, for a verticle passing offensive scheme. The exact same reason he lost his Raiders Head Coaching job. In Oakland he inhereted Gruden/Callahans WCO Roster and tried to go verticle with it, and lost his job. But in SF, with the emergence of Frank Gores running, Turners pass play calling half-ass worked, with receivers who couldn’t get seperation, and when they did get seperate, they’d drop the ball. The offensive line was sugar coated with the likes of [Justin Smiley, Kwame Harris etc.]receivers like [Taylor, Gilmore & Jackson]. SF goes 6-10 (?), the fans are all pumped up, as Nolen continues to deal with his defense. In comes Jim Hostler, as 2007 49er OC, with Turners verticle offense. But the difference was, he didn’t have the offensive vision of Turner. The WCO drafted offensive line couldn’t hold at the point of attack, because they weren’t big man ballers, like they have this coming season. Alex Smith ended up on IRL. They went through 4-different QBs., because the OL leaked like a seive. Nolan for the first time since becoming head coach, had to deal with an some offensive decisions. He called in his pal Ted Tollner a OC out of the past, who use to work with Bill Walsh. All he did when he came in was to change up the blocking assignments of the OL, and Tollner called plays the rest of the year. That’s why Shaun Hill looked so good out there, he wasn’t running for his life, not that he’s better than Alex. Trust me, Alex Smith will be the starter. The went out and hired another verticle passing guru in Mike Martz, they now have the offense and defensive scheme and personal to go forward with. Look at the combination packages that Martz can put together this season. 4-wide set [Isaac Bruce, Delanie Walker, Bryant Johnson, Ashley Lelie.] 3-wide set [Bryant Johnson, Arnez Battle, Josh Morgan] Pro Set [Isaac Bruce, Bryant Johnson and Vernon Davis] and through it all, they are going to flank Gore [alla Marshall Faulk] and have Delanie Walker playing H-back. So the make up of the offensive squad, needed to be flipped from WCO Lineman/wide receiver personal, to Ballers and speed like they have now. Ashley Lelie(That Bum, you’d say!!)has Martz salivating. Here’s a guy that went to the U.Hawaii a run-an-shoot verticle offense, and was drafted by a WCO Denver Bronco’s, where he never fit in, then he signed with another WCO fiascal, the Atlanta Falcons. Ashley Lelie, for the first time since entering the NFL, is finally in his element, Ashley Lelie knows how to get deep. The Roster make up has been the culprit, not any particular player. I see worst to first, with the NFLs third(3) 1000/1000 player in Frank Gore. Take that, you fair weather 9er fans.

We didn’t take a receiver in the second round because none rated higher than Hill in my opinion. Like we need a fifth #2 receiver. I understand the old saying wish in one and shit in the other and see what fills up first, but damn I am wishing this Colvin kid works out. As a Cal grad/fan, I watched him and Dixon chew us up! Of course, he fumbled to lose the game but he looked damn good! Go Colvin!!!!!

I honestly don’t think that any receiver in the draft could have immediately upgraded our corp. Desean Jackson is a slot receiver, we already have some of those. Pluss our entire group is made up of second options, so what is the use of drafting another one. WR wasn’t our greatest position of need OL was. We lost two starters for sure and will likely lose three once Larry retires. I understand what your saying, it is hard to get excited about trench men, but we have forced drafting Wide Receivers before and ended up with guys like Reshaun Woods. I’m sure one of the guys taken this year will turn out to be a stud, but who is to say that he would have been the one that we took. Martz is good at turning nobodies into somebody, look at Mike Furrey, who’s to say that Colvin can’t be like that.

hey eric and ninerdevotee..i bleed red and gold so im not going anywhere..weve been in a slump for the past seven years and i dont know abut you but im so sick of losing i want the very best for this team..i think the draft was very average..nothing great..nothing to get excited over..i feel some linemen couldve been had in the 3rd round or later..2nd round had a load of offensive weapons and WR was a top draft need for us..its hard to get excited over an undrafted guy coming off an injury and a 6th rounder with off the field issues..hey jerry the beaner..you really think it was smart for the niners to sign johnson to a one year contract so he can ask for more money do you now? yea smart for him not smart for us..yea he probably will be our best receiver..thats how sorry our corps receivers are..arizona’s third option is gonna come to us and be our first option. if you remember right..defenses were laughing at our receivers last year..they crowded the d-line with 7 to 8 people in the box daring knowing gore is the only offensive threat and daring our qb to beat them with the pass. thats why there wasnt much time for our qb’s to throw..everyone was rushing in with so many players. who is there to double team? nobody. our receivers when the qb did have time had a hard time getting separation..someone like desean or sweed or your caldwell maybe could of upgraded our lack of talent at the WR position.

I like Ezra Butler, I live in Vegas so I saw him when the played UNLV. He is a good blitz option. I don’t know why he didn’t get drafted he can’t play all three downs, but on pass downs he can bring the heat.
