49ers' off-season; Cap Space $8,346,186.00

[Ray_Dogg]

How much is Carlos Rogers and the secondary to blame? 2011 I recall a lot more coverage sacks than 2012. But yeah I'm expecting a better year out of Ray Mac in 2013.

Our coverage imploded in the post season and a very big contribution to that was a complete lack of pass rush across the board and a very bad game by Culliver.

San Francisco's tag options
February, 19, 2013 12:32PM ET
By Tim Kavanagh | ESPN.com

The San Francisco 49ers are looking to make a final push for 2013, so that they can go from NFC championship game losers in 2011, to Super Bowl losers in 2012, to Super Bowl winners in 2013. One way to accomplish that feat is to retain the talent from the rosters that competed throughout those tough postseason runs. Of that group, two in particular are considered candidates for the team's franchise tag this offseason.

As Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee explains, it could very well come down to a decision between S Dashon Goldson -- the franchise taggee from 2012 -- and TE Delanie Walker. The tag figure for TEs is the second-lowest, position-wise, at around $5.97 million, whereas the tag figure for safeties is set at $6.8 million. However, because it'd be a second-straight tag for Goldson, the Niners would be on the hook for 120 percent of his 2012 salary, or around $7.45 million.

Ultimately, it could come down to viable replacements available. In this regard, Goldson may have the edge; though Walker is talented and versatile, the Niners already have a No. 1 TE in Vernon Davis, and could likely find a replacement No. 2 TE for much cheaper than $5.97 million. We'll know which way they're leaning by March 4 at the latest.

I could see Walker being a Bear.... think that could be awesome for Cutler...

I will miss Walker

He's a great special teams guy and blocking TE. He's got stone hands, though.

Some teams might have not focused on him because they knew that. I wish they didn't know it because the likelihood of Crabs or Davis catching a ball when attention was given to Walker is higher than Walker catching a pass when attention was given to Davis or Crabs. But I hope we have someone better at WR to take attention away from all three. And then for them to work off each other.

Unfortunately, even a JUGGS machine on high won't prepare them adequately for Kaep's passes (unless he adds touch, which he can when needed). The passes that Walker drops, of course, are not the touch passes but also not necessarily because of speed. He needs to focus and coordinate.

With the combine, pro days, and the draft approaching I haven't had time to keep up to date as fast as I'd like on 49ers news. I haven't seen this posted yet, though.

49ers Blog and Q&A: Opportunity knocks: Wideouts Lockette, Hall working with Kaepernick in Atlanta

The 49ers quarterback is experiencing meteoric (too soon?) popularity right now. He could have gone to the Grammy's and has an invitation to the Oscars. Jay Leno wants him on the set. Multiple authors are pitching book deals.

"Another receiver, A.J. Jenkins, has not yet joined Kaepernick and the others but is expected to arrive soon."

Hmmm? That is a little frustrating pending the details

Yeah, he's been trying to get there, he just doesn't know the route. When he figured that out, he ran for the gate but was too out of shape to get there in time. He waited for the next flight, but when it came, he dropped it. How do you drop a plane? I don't know, ask Walker.

He fails to explain the part about the 49ers making Revis the highest paid player. There is no way in hell we give up our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round picks for a guy we won't pay.

I see what you did there

This is a good article, too. All other websites I've read just say that New York can't afford Alex with their commitment to Sanchez moneywise. So even if we wanted Revis, we couldn't have him without high draft picks. But if this happened with their suggestion, Alex who has money already, could restructure and extend. He'd need 7.5 + whatever guarantees he'd want for the next two years minus what he'd be paid this year.

Alternatively, the Jets could try something that probably won't work: No one is going to trade for Sanchez, but if Sanchez's agent is able to negotiate with someone to know whether they'd be willing to give Sanchez a multi-year contract, Sanchez may be willing to do a buyout if it means a longer career. Not sure if this can be done to avoid cap ramifications, but if it can, then they could trade Revis for Smith (and whatever filler from us). Now, I don't know if Sanchez would rather just stay for a year, get paid, and test the market next year, where his chances at starting might be less.

In other words, the only way Sanchez would ever consider helping them is if he could help himself and the only way to do that would be to talk to other teams. But I don't think any team would give him any promises (that even then could be broken), so Sanchez wouldn't take the risk.

I wouldn't want a guard either, but I'd sure as crap want one of the top 2 guards to play center. Goodwin needs to go.

This he's talking about this one:

It's not like they've got two of the better OGs in the league right now as it is, and have added two interior OL in the 4th and 5th rounds over the past two years.

Why 49ers pass defense faltered in playoffs | CSN Bay Area

nothing new on the D-line with too many snaps, but still a decent read.

while still have "long shot" hopes on a pass rusher - even if situational - we do pick LATE. we might try to trade up but even then, don't see us going THAT high?

so agree the next best thing for our D is strengthening the line. hell, i'd even be ok with two D-linemen if thats the value? not necessarily rounds 1 AND 2, but two linemen.
