He was a pick by our former GM and really hasn't shown much. He hasn't been a slouch, but I don't think he has anything we don't get from others...

Could very well be especially in the Defensive backfield we can use some better depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 1 minute ago, J-ALL-DAY said: No way you cut Armstead, who is clearly superior to both Taylor/Blair right now. Taylor is a lock to make the team, but Blair is the big question mark here. That one can go either way. Probably means keeping one less LB. Armstead is definitely better at the point of attack and against the run than Blair, though I do think the latter is the better pass rusher. I've never understood the apparent reticence in giving Blair a chance as a pass rushing option and instead opting for guys like sneezy and Marsh. I mean, Blair only has 5 sacks in his career, but he's only played 450 defensive snaps too. That's not an awful efficiency rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i am not saying he is terrible but he isn't great either. Basically just a guy and we have better guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Biderman did his final 53 projection, nothing too shocking. Morris & James on the roster. Wick > Hikituni, Lee > Toomer Blair & Pita off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chance that James makes the PS is pretty small if i had to guess since we cut him even before the last preseason game. No, I'm saying keep Blair only if we trade Armstead or if he's put on IR for some injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah just had the idea from your post you would prefer Taylor or Blair could very well be my reading though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the contracts were all equal I might lol Armstead is this years Aaron Lynch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this one is quite unfair to Armstead. Lynch is no longer here because he never seemed to have any urgency. Armstead is frustratingly injured too often, but I don't question his effort. You could be making some other comparison between the two, of course. If so, I missed it and apologize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John232 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 You didn't hear? Grant Cohn says Armestead plays like a basketball player and is soft. So that's fact. He soft. In all seriousness, I've liked the flashes i've seen from Armstead and I think he's more valuable to us on our team then in a trade. And I still think this team should keep Blair, I think he's one of the more versatile and better passrushers we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol We are so thin there its crazy.. this was a deep TE class too and we didn't take one. Instead we are relying on kittle staying healthy (hasn't happened), celek becoming more than just a guy (unlikely), or one of the two udfas we have to amount to something (haven't been impressed at all with either). I think the best thing to do is use juice in that role. He can block, catch, run with the ball in his hands. He has a lot of what you would look for except for hieght and length which can get over rated. I think he will be used like a TE as a necessity this season. Also, let's all agree to stop talking up/brining up anything grant Cohn has to say? He is a crock and a troll who makes things up. He's better off completely ignored.

49erurtaza Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Would be interesting to put Armstead on the field in the red zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
