Goldson re-signs with 49ers

[h0ckeysk83r]

Perhaps they invision him as the 1st safety off the bench, or a nickleback type role, special teams etc? That could make sense.

Kind of hard seeing Goldson wanting to come back to take a backup role. He could of gone somewhere to be a starter im sure. At 2 million, i like the deal and the competition in camp will only do good things for us.

I wonder if he'll come in as a SS rather than FS?

Isnt whitner a SS?

 

[EaseUrStorm]

We're already paying our new SS ~4 mil a year. He'd be coming back as a FS.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

This tells me the Reggie Smith injury is bad. So Goldson is back as the starting FS.

 

[CalamityX11]

Whitner is our SS? hahaha joke is on me.

 

[Badger8843]

Whitner and Gold back there would be great. I disagree with some posters, this is the best secondary we have had in a long ass time

 

[threelittleturds]

wow, shocked.

 

[Badger8843]

Goldson is starting at FS and Whitner at SS, might be the best safetys we have had in a long time

Goldson is coming back as the starting Free, come on man, Whitner has the SS spot locked up for years to come

Great move!

Don't forget this also keeps Goldson off the Cardinals roster. Adrian Wilson tore some muscle near his elbow he's going to try to play with it torn all year long, good luck with that! Reminds me of Ken Norton Jr. with that messed up bicep.

Also Reggie Smith is in a contract year as well so let the competition between Goldson and Reggie begin for the FS position, then we can resign whoever plays better to an extension.

I still want Mays backing up Whitner at SS. Might be a perfect spot for Mays to learn and also play special teams.

This may be true when compared to some of our previous secondary's, but when compared to the rest of the league, how much improvement do you see us making this year over last year in pass defense?

The improvement really depends on how Whitner and Rogers play.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

I'm still worried about the other CB spot. Spencer or ? need to step up and step up big time.

That was my initial impression of this move. It was a defensive (no pun intended) move.

 

[CalamityX11]

I like Rogers and Spencer as our CBs.... shouldn't see too much problem with that.

Ahhh, see I go the other way, I think the improvement depends on how well both Spencer and Goldson play. I'm not worried about the two guys you mentioned.

We also cannot forget we lost both Spikes & Lawson and are replacing them with a guy who has never played the position of OLB and another who was not Spikes' equal in coverage, at least not last year.

 

[JMedlock5186]

I like it. Goldson has less question marks. If he plays like he did a couple years ago we will be fine. Rogers is a better coverage that clements in my opinion. and if we have one corner that can step it up. Brown. Brock, Spencer, Adams, ? I think we will be okay

 

[EaseUrStorm]

It will depend heavily on how much pressure Aldon Smith can consistently generate on a down to down basis. McDonald can hopefully be an x factor. Maybe the fresh OLB rotation strategy will be more effective against RT's this year because the LT's totally shot them down last year.

My biggest question is how much the DB upgrade allows Fangio to scheme pass rush too.

I'm expecting big volatility out of the defense this year, especially the first half of the season.

I'm not worried. Aldon's job is to get to the QB, and from what I've seen, he's going to. I'm more interested in seeing how Bowman does at ILB.
