Hate seeing season ending injuries to anybody. And there seems to be more and more each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I don't view it as a major deal. Sucks for depth purposes, but I don't view the drop off from smith to Ray Ray as crazy bad, and I'd rather have Foster start the season and play even if he struggles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedTheClock Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Yeah I saw this was the top story on ESPN today. This seems like something that is barely newsworthy. I always viewed him as a low end starter. This injury changes the 49ers W/L record by 0% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMcCoy Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Isn't he pretty bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can have splash plays, but gets washed out vs run and isn't good in coverage. Him and Howard I'm really surprised people paid anything over 2-3 mil a year.

This injury changes the 49ers W/L record by 0% When you figure in that he just signed a $25 mil dollar contract this offseason it becomes bigger news. Along with what seems to be a string of bad luck at the LB position for the 49ers. From guys retiring early, to injuries, to players getting in trouble, the 9ers cant seem to catch a break at LB.

turtle28 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Horrible news for the 49ers. Smith is a good LB but fans have to be excited to see more of their young LBs like Foster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he would be a good rotational piece and special teams player. With Bowman and Foster he wouldn't be as relied upon as he was in Oakland.
