Why couldn't Blair and Marks both be competing for that back up 3 tech DT? I think they both have the disruptive capability to be successful there. I believe it's almost certain Thomas and Carradine have he BIG DE spot nailed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he won't make the team - I think he might still have a decent chance at the roster. Had a good preseason. But it's at the 5-tech spot. If he's going to be versatile, more than likely it'd come at LEO than behind Buckner. The problem for Blair is the same problem Dial had - he's not a real fit in this defense.

That's kind of what I am getting at. I didn't really pay attention to where Marks was lining up, but I assume that he was playing NT. To me It makes more sense to keep Blair around to backup DeFo as well as Thomas/Carradine at the big end than it would to keep Marks to play NT behind Earl Mitchell and possibly even DJ Jones. I don't really care for the idea of keeping Marks around if all it is going to accomplish is taking valuable snaps from D.J. Jones and maybe a couple solid plays in the regular season. We are not going to the superbowl this year, I don't see any point in keeping older-veteran role player types around. Not only do I feel Blair could be the better player at this point, his versatility is also a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and Douzable would rotate there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fureys49ers Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 And Marks does have system knowledge with his time at Jacksonville. I remember reading when we picked him up he looked really good as a rookie and younger player and then injuries have troubled him as of late. So I'm all for keeping the potential and system knowledge as a back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly it will be the Hyde/Breida show. Mosert may get a touch here and there, but mainly will be a STs contributor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
