Pretty cool, Lynch called Justin Smith and asked him if it was ok to give Solomon Thomas #94.

Respect!

Ditto!

They just asked Justin Smith questions about Bowman, Foster, Thomas, Shanahan, Lynch...

Justin's response to Lynch on #94, "Numbers are made to be worn." All his other comments were just the usual I'm not there so I wouldn't know. Said if Foster is being compared to Willis, then that's a good thing but Patrick was dialed into football 100% with no distractions outside. Said that outside distractions are usually what causes a player to not last.

Said what admin is doing, good or bad, had nothing to do with the players. It's all about talent and execution and that's all the players care about.

That's pretty legit. Where did you see this?

KNBR had a chat with him a couple minutes ago. That's basically the only cool thing I heard. They asked him about his thoughts on the new FO and recently drafted players but he said he doesn't really know them so he couldn't really give a opinion.

JL seems like he's too good to be true but he's not. Guy is a total boss.

So nice to have him as GM.

But did he ask Shane Skov if Foster could wear #56?

And did he call Stubblefield and Haley as well regarding 94

This guy is proving me wrong. I almost want to hop on his bandwagon.

I miss that guy so much, one of my favorite 2 or 3 9ers of all time.

Definitely. He's my #2 favorite all time and I'm old enough to remember the Camelot years.

He was a beast that was no talk and all business. My favorite play was him walking his man straight back to Brees and then reaching over him to take Brees down. Freaking awesome!

I am with you guys about Justin Smith. A complete bad ass, hall of fame level player.

And kudos to John Lynch for reaching out to him.
