Meh. I would pass. We definitely need some more pass rush but I like the guys we have and would rather give them the snaps

WTF games you been watching. Big Ben wasn't even touched. I might've passed due to age and contract size but not b/c of what we currently have

Allen couldn't cut it in Lord Fangio's scheme?

Seems like a odd move to me.

Because he doesn't want to play in a 3-4 defense and he's made that known quite loudly. If he doesn't want to play in a 3-4 scheme, why would he want to come to the 49ers? In Carolina he goes back to the same 4-3 alignment he's played in his entire career.
