Justone2 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Really don't understand the choice for Person over Garnett to be honest. Guess they want to go with the best pass protector but when it comes to the run game i feel Garnett brings so much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-ALL-DAY Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 25 minutes ago, Forge said: I'm actually really surprised by this. Obviously, I thought that Garnett had done enough in the preseason the last two games to show that he should be the starter. He wasn't great, but I thought he was superior to Person and Cooper (god, what a bad signing that was. Thank God it was harmless). But even more so, I'm a little surprised just because with Mags out, Person is the only backup center we have on the roster I'm pretty sure. Having him go down could put us in a bit of a pickle. I thought it would be surprising if Garnett got the starting gig over him. Person was the one participating throughout training camp and he got the start in all these games. And really, I don't think he played bad enough or Garnett was THAT much better to take his spot. Do I think at some point in the season Garnett takes over for him? Probably, but thought it was a fair bet for Person to start the season at RG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i have learned one thing from Shanahan and that is if you get praised a lot it mostly means nothing good for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2lamanaki Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Chanceller James was waived. Looks good for Tyvis Powell's chances to stick around. Team signed running back Ja'Quan Gardner from Humboldt State to replace him. https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/49ers-sign-running-back-waive-safety-chanceller-james Really odd move 2 days before Preseason game 4.

With our lack of depth it doesn't make a whole a lot of sense to do so. What are we going to rely on then, Cooper? Dude who has been battling a bad knee all throughout camp and has looked medicore as hell in the preseason? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually agree with J here, even though I've one of the biggest bus drivers of the "garnett will be traded camp". Had we still had Mags and Cooper was healthy, he absolutely would be gone, but at this point I don't know why you would do that at all. Would much rather trust Garnett at the current point in time than Cooper. Maybe when Coop is healthy he'll be better, but he's never been all that impressive, never been all that healthy in his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldman9er Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Unless the trade value is excellent (thinking 3rd rd which seems unlikely), I don't like trading Garnett a bit. I'm looking at 2018+ as contending years, and losing good depth on the OL is a turnoff. His contract years of 2.5 and 2.9 are affordable, and I think he's better value than some IOL prospect on day 3 next year.

To me, this depends on if we can find another Laken Tomlinson at this point of the preseason. If we can- trading Garnett makes sense again. If not, he sort of HAS to make the team at this point.

Same exact question could have been asked last year about Laken Tomlinson. Garnett had to adjust his body to try and fit the zone blocking scheme here. It is quite possible that Shanahan or Lynch could favor another player who naturally fits the scheme. That, and of course, the regime would find THEIR Joshua Garnett, and not one of the previous regime. That matters. Same as it did when I said Eli Harold wasn't likely to stick around in 2018. Getting away from Baalke picks has been a solid model for success for the new regime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
