You just answered your own question there. This transformation takes time. Not only mentally but physically. I'm sure they have him on a weight regiment to add some beef to his frame which he can support. I don't think putting him at 34 end is miscasting him at all. In fact I believe he's better suited to play 3-4 end at this level than 4-3 end. I think Tank is going to be a monster.

Also keep in mind, Tank didn't have an offseason at all. NONE! That's devastating to a rookie player looking to get on the field especially at a new position. I know he's still a DE but his role will be quite different than he's used to. He'll be a great addition to the defense next season.

What are you guys talking about?

Who says Tank has to transform into a run stopper? I mean is this s coaches comment? Im just trying to figure out where this is coming from.

Tank will obviously have to do some run defending. It goes with the territory but Tank is going be 3-4 gap shooter. Eventually he will have to.evolve into a balanced defender but his 1st couple.of years will be just that simple.

Theres nothing wrong with his leg either. Hes not activated because Fangio. Plain and simple.

Nvm

Sorry. Not buying it. You're telling me because Tank is a pass rusher DE he's going to fail? Nope. Tank is going to add a different dimension to our front. Jesus Ive never seen so much doom surrounding a guy that hasn't played yet. At this point Ill be glad he steps out on the field just because.it means thede threads will stop popping up.

Yeah, I don't think the cat is ready yet.

I have seen Tomsula turn glitter into gold far too many times to doubt that he knows exactly what personnel he needs for his DL. Tomsula is the chief reason TJE and Dorsey has shined and he is the reason I am confident that both Tank and Okoye can make significant gains into next season

This thread can't be real? Tank sux because he was inactive yesterday?

Back to the same old nonsense I see? Justin Smith was a 6'4", 265 pass rushing DE coming out of college, he's acclimated to the 3-4 just fine. The 49ers rely on lighter DE's than other 3-4 teams and they have to be able to both rush the passer and stop the run. None of what you are claiming about Carradine has any basis in actual fact.


BRB......one of the best, most explosive defensive ends in college last year can't fit on this team because some random poster on an internet forum says so.

LOL. Dobbs and TJE are playing well no need to rush Tank if you have guys out there who are fully capable. This is a non-story...

TJE looks powerful out there.

There is no written or unwritten rule that states you must draft players who can start or contribute from day one at any given spot in the draft. One might make exception and look to draft players who can start or contribute early if their team is devoid of talent or in "win now" mode, but we are neither of those.

colin kaepernick was picked around 36 or 37 and was a developmental pick.

Seriously, Tomsula needs a lifetime contract, never ever let him leave the 49ers. They keep taking random undrafted guys and late round guys and making them more than passable. Seeing TJE develop reminds me of RJF and not because of the dual last names. If the 49ers had someone who is as good at coaching WR's as Tomsula is at coaching defensive linemen, that position would be a major strength on this team.

he's got to earn his playing time first

yeah i dont really understand why people are so confused by it. a rookie, coming off an acl doesnt get mini camp or training camp and is supposed to over take the rotational guys who have a several month head start on him? i never thought of it that way.

Jerod-Eddie is playing well. Even Dobbs has been decent in TJE's normal spot. Theres no reason to force Dial or Carradine into snaps if theyre not fully ready yet.

I swear, some people have no patience and/or common sense.
