You'd start Williams over Whitner? Or is that just a confusion of names?

Dobbs over McDonald? - Interesting.

 

[EaseUrStorm]

Wow

the following won't happen:

1. RJF over Soap
2. Dobbs over McDonald
3. Culliver over Spencer, Brown, or Brock
4. Williams over Whitner. And if Whitner doesn't start it would be Goldson and R. Smith before you see Williams on the field

Soap is useless, Mcdonald didn't even record a sack, Dobbs did and don't tell me its because he's playing against 2nd and 3rd stringers. Spencer is injury prone, brown and brock are getting tooled and Culliver is making plays. Oh yeah i meant whitner.

Dobbs over McDonald? - Interesting.

Ronald Mcdonald can't even get to the qb. Dobbs is a beast!

Your starting D isn't nearly as good as Harbaugh's starting D.

Interesting specially when the Niners only play their starters in limited series compared to back ups. They already know what those guys has to offer that's why they don't get extended playing time. That's what preseason is for. To see what the other guys have. If these were live games, the starters will be there longer...

LDE - Ray McDonald
NT - Isaac Sopoaga
RDE - Justin Smith
LOLB - Ahmad Brooks
LILB - Patrick Willis
RILB - Navorro Bowman
ROLB - Aldon Smith
LCB - Carlos Rogers
RCB - Shawntae Spencer
SS - Donte Whitner
FS - Reggie Smith

That is, if everyone is healthy. I'm very worried about coverage from our OLBs, though. I still have nightmares about Owen Daniels breaking Smith's ankles last week.

 

[Roosh016]

remember B. Young, Lee Woodall and Bar none? All rookies in 94 champ team. Oh yeah forgot about R. Smith...

 

[Roosh016]

well we got a lot of depth on D, just wanted to see...

only prescription medication. Dobbs, A. Smith, Culliver and Hunter are going to be the future of this team.

Yes, 2 of those guys were first round picks though, and one played offense.

Our only first round pick this year you have coming off the bench. The implicit comparison of Dobbs and BY might be a bit of a stretch as well.

Those guys also joined a pretty solid group of veterans. Woodall stepped in next to Norton and Plummer. BY joined a pretty veteran DL and Bar None didn't play defense.

Kendall Hunter leads the NFL in rushing in preseason. Last year Dixon did. The year before that it was Coffee. The year before it was Kory Sheets (seriously) a few years earlier it was Jamal Robertson.

Should those guys all have been made starters based on their preseason dominance? Remember, you already told us that playing against 2nd and 3rd stringers doesn't matter. Those guys were great in the preseason.

That doesn't make them the present.

With our current roster, that is my ideal lineup and most likely one to be(well Parys to start the season til Aldon takes over)

We did lose out on coverage from the OLB spots though.... Hopefully that won't cost us too many drives.

This.

Also Clyde... I got the same starting D as you. Bowman has some big shoes to fill, but I think he can be really good. And either Smith with decent production (at their respective positions) are a step up from last season.

"Dobbs did and don't tell me its because he's playing against 2nd and 3rd stringers. "
I will tell you that. He looked solid but he is not ready to take over for Ray.

 

[Roosh016]

Ronald Mcdonald can't get to the qb...why can't you guys get that. I bet all of you Dobbs will have more sacks than Ronald Mcdonald this year.
