How to improve the 49ers red-zone offense

Makes sense to me. At least Grant Cohn does good research on this one.

A 3rd and a 5th got Antonio Brown that's not a lot.

A 3rd and a 5th got Antonio Brown that's not a lot.

+ a new contract that makes him the highest paid receiver + the fact that he's been a cancer building up.

Now....if all the antics stop (I doubt it) and he keeps putting up 1500 yd/13 TD seasons for the next 3 years....maybe I'd change my tune, but as of now, I am glad he isn't a 49er.

Agree, it isn't only the draft picks.

for me the reasons for no AB was the reverse order....."antics", then highest paid, then draft picks.

Wasnt Ingram a couple of years ago a GL beast!?!

Looking good here depending on health of course

Still need a punter but that can probably happen in the draft.

Hopefully?

Would be good if the punter is also a good kick-off specialist too. One who doesn't kick it OB.

Being a good holder on PK's, is also something we easily take for granted.

Jets lb Lee may be available !?!

49ers: Two No. 1s? Price for Beckham was too rich for Lynch

Agree that two No. 1's for OBJ is too much, because one of them is No. 2 overall.

Granted there might've been other stuff involved in the deal, but we won't ever know?

This article seems to be saying there was nothing else in the deal? Then for sure i wouldn't have traded our 1st rounders from 2019 and 2020. I agree with Lynch, the No. 2 overall is just too valuable.

John Lynch lays out why 49ers didn't trade for Odell Beckham Jr.

I agree with Lynch as well....I just wish he wouldn't talk about what others offered. Keep that to yourself.....hopefully someone is in his ear about that.

They didnt get two firsts from the Browns and they weren't going to from anyone else, least of all the team picking #2 overall they only got #17 and a 3rd plus Jabrill Peppers for him to begin with. Peppers may have been a first rounder but I'm not sure he's played enough to viewed as equivalent. Lynch made the right choice. Gettlemen was always going to try and get more from the 49ers.

Grant Cohn: Time for GM Lynch to prove himself

i still think building a defense front to back is fine, but now it is edges before interior. A good D-line (ie pressure) makes it easier for the LB's and DB's. Whereas even good DB's can only cover so long. If the opponent sends out 3 WR's and a good TE, you can't cover them all.

Then there is the run game, the trend is passing i get that, but if you have a weak D-line they'll just lean run over pass. Teams will run if able cause it controls the clock (keeps the 49er offense off the field) and reduces the odds of turning it over.

 

[poewelch84]

I think in today's game you need to be able to get pressure from the edge as well as up the middle. The 49ers have only been able to get pressure up the middle with one guy so very limited hopefully that won't be the case any longer.

Lemme guess...Grant Colon suggests that Lynch should do something that almost guaranteed he won't do?

Yes wants him to pass on Bosa and trade for more picks.

Yeah...lets just pass on Bosa, the guy who is looked on by most as the best player in the draft, at a position of great need for SF.....because we know there are guaranteed trades all set up.

Cohn has little to no credibility.

Was trying to argue that the NFL has changed and the best teams like the Pats are building their teams from the back to the front instead of having a great D-Line. He based this on how much they spent on the D-Line not production I would be willing to bet that the top defenses in the NFL got pressure on the QB. He talked about QB's getting the ball out to quickly to get a sack which may be true but pressuring into a poor throw is almost as good as a sack and the 49ers haven't been able to do that.

I've read on other sites that he doesn't like Bosa...or that he prefers other players to him....whatever. He's just trying to spin his logic to basically convince himself that his argument is sound. I can guarantee that say....SF did pass on Bosa, and he tore it up with some other team, good ole Cohn would come back and say Lynch failed because he didn't take him.

That's Cohn. That's how he operates.
