How big of a deal it is that we have Nate Clements back healthy...people kind of write him off now and I don't understand it... We had a solid CB group last year with Spencer, Brown, etc...now we have a healthy Nate back?

Nate looked slow last year and now he is year older and probably a year slower.

Nate is slow though. I like his tenacity, grit, and physicality, but he can't cover well because he's too slow. That's why he lines up so far off the line. Thats why we can never stop 3rd and short on an accurate QB. Dudes getting old, going on his 10th season. Not a knock on him, just a fact.

Spencer is this teams best CB.

Dude would be an awesome free safety I dont why the niners dont look into converting him. Unless of course he dont want to do it.

Glad he's healthy. Glad both starting CBs are healthy. T Brown has been a disappointment IMO.

lol I remember when we drafted him.

People were saying, "if it wasn't for his off the field issues, he would have been a 1st round pick!!! We got a steal!!"

Similar to the Alex Boone hype.
