Man this is sad and true the team's best pick up is a FB.
Why is this sad? The 49ers had 220 pound Michael Robinson running in front of Frank Gore and DeShaun Foster for the majority of last season. Norris isn't glamorous and he doesn't play a skill position, but his presence means more running between the tackles for Gore.
B/c they don't have a pass rusher,. It's nothing against Norris just sad when your best FA is a fullback.
And who in free agency would have upgraded the current unit? Suggs, Dansby, Peppers and Leroy Hill all re-signed with their 2008 teams. None had feasible asking prices through trade.
You can complain all day about how horrible the drought is. If you can't control the weather, complaining won't bring rain.
