If numbers factor into the discussion (since you claimed we had a lot of sacks) then for arguments sake we had :
36 sacks. Tied for 14th in the league.
15 picks. Tied for 17th in the league.
The best pass defense in the league last year was San Diego. They had 16 interceptions....but they also finished tied for 2nd in the league in sacks with 47.
LMAO Again there is a reason why the niners have been struggling against the pass the past few years........our 2 cbs are better than quite a few teams however since our pass rush is inconsistent we lose MOST ALL OF OUR CLOSE GAMES. Cbs even GREAT ONES can only cover for so long. Look at games like favre beating us in the last play of the minn game 2 years ago even all those close games we lost or last year carolina and other close games.......most of those games would of been wins with a good pass rusher like matthews versus a good cb like nmandi.
DENIALis not only a river in egypt.....there is a reason why a great pass rusher is MORE VALUABLE thana great cb. Lookat the nyj they throw away from revis but they cant always account for a harrison woodly matthews......this is why the nyj keep losing. They take out the opposing teams best wr but get burned by everybody else. 2nd 3rd wrs tes rbs......and that is a fact.
Duh winning
I remember many plays our CBs got beat on simple slants and double moves. Actually we lost a few games on those routes including the first Seattle game.
Oh you mean the sea game where alex threw 2 ints....one to the house and an overthrow on fourth down for a sure td to morris.....oh and also the delay of games which cost us at least a td......that game????????
The game where on the first play clements got an int......yeah the cbs really cost us that one. Hahahaha. What did their top wr get 42 yards against our bad cbs. Our d did a good job that game it was our coaching qb and lack of pass rush against a sea team that had a makeshift oline that cost us.
Our pass rush cost us a lot more games than our cbs and that is a fact. Our cbs at least got some ints to seal games where our pass rush should of helped finish them off. Even atl where clements got a crUcial int then fumbled like a bonehead we still pinned them back inside the 10 and no pressure on ryan. Spencer came through to seal the den game as well with an int.
This is why many of us as well as the niners management have mentioned we need a pass rusher badly. Ever sinCe 2002 not a single double digit sack member........need i say more
like nates pic- fumble right?? clements is garbage!!!! spencer is mediocre. anyday of the week peterson would help more than quinn or miller. but i might take one of those lb's over prince.... key word might. period our d was garbage. willis didnt even look like willis sometimes. franklin didnt look as good as he did in 2009-10.
we need both but the draft is deeper with olb's so why get maybe the best olb and a s**tty corner when we can get the best cb, and a good olb?
This thread is about being rational right?
If Prince can come in and replace Clements, it would allow us to dump that huge contract and use that money towards whatever other needs that are not addressed in the draft.
Just because we drafted An injured Gore in the 3rd round and he turned into a pro bowler, doesn't mean that every player we draft with an injury history is a safe pick. Risking a 3rd round pick vs a high 1st round pick .
Id be happy with Prince or Quinn. I wouldn't cry or think our team is not rational if we get either player.
