Tukuafu Signs 2-year Extension

 

[Crimsoncrew]

All depends on the terms, but I thought he was showing some promise before the injury. Don't mind wrapping him up for a couple years.

Tukuafu Signs 2-year Extension

a good sign we have a decent back-up player, one with additional potential. does this "kick out" Ian Williams to PS?

 

[clyde_carbon]

I always forget about Ian Williams. I really like him.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Minimum for both years on Will T.

Who are either of these guys? Neither name rings a bell.

Tukuafu and Brock? Tukuafu was our first DE off the bench until he got hurt. Brock was our fourth corner. He was the one who gave up the TD to Manningham.

I think our DL is set unless something unexpected happens. I like our starters and developing guys. Our LBs are signed for a few yrs (Bowman has 2 yrs remaining?) - looking good!

Future D-line: Dobbs-Williams-Tukuafu lol

 

[CalamityX11]

Tukuafu did grab an INT or Fumble vs Sea in the opener...

During the offseason last yr, wasn't too big on him and often wonder why he was on the team.

But the opener, he really did attack. A very small sample size but for the minimum, I don't have a problem and wish him the best.

It's Dobbs that i want to breakout in some shape or form.

That'd be pretty incredible. Three UDFAs as the starters? I will say though, even last year we showed so much more in terms of developing players than we have in years. That's one of the keys to being a great team.

 

[luckyluke22]

And RJF - who was a 7th rounder right?

Not that all will be starters but right now as rotational guys/soon to be active they excite me.

 

[EaseUrStorm]

This is a huge off-season for Dobbs. Hopefully he gained some size and strength and shows his stuff in the preseason. He has the potential to take over for Justin Smith in a few years, which would be awesome for us if he could swing it.

Yeah, 6th or 7th round pick. I agree, they seem like a pretty promising group of young, up-and-coming players. We shall see. Need a little Tomsula magic. He was certainly right on Ray Mac.

Agreed man, its good times for us 49er fans. And im really excited about those guys and this will be a big offseason for them to show they can hang.

How can that be with a DL coach that came from NFL Europe? Right, Nonsense?

 

[deep9er]

obviously, i hope these guys are in fact future starters, and good ones at that. but not so sure we have a NT here?

its not a dire situation this season and not panicking, but just keep an eye out if good value arises.......

 

[bigpb72]
