...We been watching the same team WHitner has made some huge plays the last two weeks... yes later in the game he got beat a bit but thats probably because the defense was gassed....

The 49ers have just over 1.6M in space right now.
On just one defensive play this season (passing situation) I want to see this DL:
LOLB: Lemonier
LDE: Richard Seymour
NT: Justin Smith
RDE: Carradine
ROLB: Aldon
Those is some long arms & terrifying pass rush.
...And who drops back into coverage? Both LBs? Neither? Carradine? I certainly wouldn't want to try to block that crap.
It has to be more than that. TB contributed 2 mill by himself.
All that extra space was in the off-season when only the top 51 contracts count. Now it is in-season and the whole enchilada leaves us with enough coin for Jack in the Box tacos.

For starters I would like to see Lemon replace Brooks more often for third and longs. I think he might flash better pass rush.
We cannot afford to trade Brooks, period. We already traded two OLBs away, Haralson and Johnson.
We are paper thin at OLB: Smith, Brooks, Lemonier, Skuta. I see 3 good players there.

We are also paper thin at DL: Smith, McDonald, Dorsey, Dobbs, and Jerod-Eddie. I see 2 good players there, one ok player, and 2 practice squaders.
I'm hoping we can *survive* with Dobbs and Jerod-Eddie there for the next 4 weeks, and then Carradine and Quinton Dial come off the IR and replace them and give our front 7 it's second wind.
I'm not advocating trading Brooks. I want them to get Lemon ready for next season. Brooks starts costing a lot and we need to find out if the cheaper guy is better. If so then a trade in the off-season is a start.
