Jacobs has actually been horrible in short yardage situations. I do like the signing though.

Eric branch tweet yesterday Brandon Jacobs converted 5 of 7 third-and-short situations in 2011 (2 yards or less)

That's not too bad.

Jacobs replaces Moran Norris. If Jacobs out-competes Dixon, Dixon isn't necessarily gone but demoted to inactive status on gamedays as Norris was last year. Cartright replaces Costanzo on special teams. It's not clear that Jacobs can replace Dixon on special teams.

Best case scenario. Brandon Jacobs = Jerome Bettis jr.
Worst case scenario. He goes out for season with torn ACL in OTAs
Realistic scenario. Brandon Jacobs > Anthony Dixon
Rewards outweigh the risks. That is how the FO sees it and I have no problem with that.

That's what I'm hoping. A change of scenery + a fresh set of eyes might be just the thing for Jacobs . . . who's also playing for another contract.

I'm not real excited about Jacobs. I never really liked him. That said since he is a 49er now I want him to succeed. Hopefully Rathman can get him to stop running soft and use that big frame to power his way to some short yardage conversions.

NFL Game Rewind. Subscribe for him and if his connection speed is decent, it will be good.

Or maybe you can find a way to capture the video.
