Yes sir!

Haven't watched any tape of Breida or Bibbs.. do they look more explosive than Harris?

Really interesting interview with him, I have high hopes as he comes across very well.

He fumbled that number away against the Giants. Yes, I went there.

Roger was a very balanced for us that probably is recognized as one of the best balanced backs of all time if it wasn't for Marshall Faulk.
Make us proud Joe, tear it up!
As this is certainly one of the most cockeyed stories of the draft, I want him to succeed just based on how he got here re: Lynch. Wasn't even on the board, Kyle stays up alll nite thinking he will be gone next day, then the lynch call. Just doesn't get much better than that.

Oh, did I mention he is one helluva talent besides? This is the guy I really want to see succeed.

Breida will probably be on our PS, and if we keep 4 RB's not including Juice who is a OW, I would think we'd keep Hyde-Williams-Hightower-Bibbs. Bibbs might be a PS guy as well, unless Shanahan likes him as a ST/return guy as well?

I agree.. If this guy comes in and stays focused... It could be a story we tell for years. Forster is the steal in the draft we have all been talking about if he lives up to his potential at LB,but this young man, and where we got him, could be an even bigger deal for us.
He needs to show sustained maturity.

Carlos Hyde
Joe Williams
Tim Hightower
Matt Breida

Cuts: DuJuan Harris, Kapri Bibbs
He will get asked the same questions throughout his career.

Joe better get used to it.

Hmm... when I first heard the story of his sister dying, I thought it was really recently. Like he quit the team to grieve her loss. Only just saw he was 7 or something at the time. Not denying that's got to be a lot to get over, but just seems a bit odd that it causes him to quit football ten years later.

Really wasn't explained very well in any of the interviews or background stuff.
