when did nate say that?

Said it on KNBR a week or 3 ago. He said "Im a corner" when asked if he'd be open to making the switch to safety. In other words it's not happening.

doesnt mean that they wont move him anywayz he can say hes a corner all he wants if they change his position he's sol

well i heard it on comcast sports net, they asked him how he felt about safety and he said no i play corner during an interview.

dang that makes that whole situation a little more complicated then.

Some readers have missed the point, the Niners aren't going to pay Clements six million to be a third or forth C.B. Maybe you're right and he'd be better at S.S., but he will have to redo his contract and agree to a move into a new position. I don't see that happening. Bly on the other hand might move, as his career is winding down. I think Bly could also play S.S. well. P.S. Could Goldson play S.S?

No you move him to SS where he will probably be a better fit. Michael Lewis is pretty much done as a 49er.

I must agree Goldson could be an upgrade at SS and if someone already in the team could switch and be an upgrade at FS would work wonderfull

Why not? He's still has speed, tackles well, and is good in coverage. Plus, as a vet he's won't be fooled very much during the season. What's your concerns with Bly?

Yeah he's really too small for that spot at only like 5'9'', and he's not a guy like Bob Sanders who hits really hard. I dunno on one hand Nate is still good, on the other I hate watching him give the WR a 50 yard cushion and we need more speed in our secondary, and he makes a lot of money. If we can get a guy like Haden I think it might be best to move on from Nate.

tackling has always been one of Bly's weaknesses. Bly needs to be a nickel and dime CB. Move Clements to FS and Goldson to SS. Draft Haden to start with Spencer and Bly as the nickel DB.

bly is like 5'9 180 coner never to be confused with a more physical db who has to play a role in run support up there in the front 7 and thats just 1 problem

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA funniest thing i ever heard anybody say, Bly play SS HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA i hope your joking or you just lost all credibility with me, the guy weighs like 180 lbs and gets shoved around like a rag doll, he is not very tall either and not known for being physical but rather his coverage skill. A strong safety has to play up on the line aswell to stop the run on running plays, omg wow im done reading this post.

I must agree Goldson could be an upgrade at SS and if someone already in the team could switch and be an upgrade at FS would work wonderfull

Reggie Smith maybe.He has potential and showed it in preseason but needs to stay healthy.

Hope so, He was labeled like a steal when we drafted him, time to show and step up
