Tarell Brown will start against Indy

It's not going top 10 he's heading down in the 40's maybe 50's. He's heading down hill bro.

You still make no sense!

WTF are CBs supposed to do on a run play? Stand around?

The stats that you posted are absolute BS. Let me copy and paste them again so you don't miss them:

Oakland is ranked #20 in pass defense DOVA against #1 WRs. You know the kind that Asmougha covers. Guess he's not any good as a CB.

Denver is ranked #25 in pass defense DOVA against #1 WRs. You know, the kind that Bailey usually covers. Guess he's a crappy CB as well.

DOVA is a great indicator, huh.

The way you describe Clements is a great Safety not Corner bro that's all I'm saying.

Well actually if you really and closely look at the Dova stats against #1 receivers which usually Bailey and Nnmandi cover you will see the difference between corners don't just look at the ranks.

Clements against #1 top receivers have gained 7.8 yards per play and 91.4 yards per game (that stat is the highest in the NFL). Almost 100 yrds a game that's a killer.

Champ Bailey against #1 top receiver have gained 6.3 per pay but only 56.9 yards a game.

Nnamdi Asomohoa against #1 top receivers have gained 6.2 per play but only 48.1 yards a game.

Darell Revis against #1 top receivers have gained 7.2 per play but only 45.6 per game.

The titans #1 CB I don't know who it is anymore since Fineran has been hurt but he against #1 receivers is 9.1 per play but only gives up 87.7 which would explain there record with that kind of CB play.

Gotta factor all those issues not just rank per play.

I actually have to AGREE with 9erfanAUS here. Talk to me about Clements once we get a consistent pass-rush.

ESPECIALLY given our questionable, inconsistent pass-rush has been here as long as Clements has been a 49ers. The conversation would be moot if the we would fix issues with the pass-rush and could bring heat with 4 players on 3rd down vs a blitz.

Yup, agreed

Damn...I wish the team was run by some of the guys here in Niner Talk...Just imagine: we'd still have Sheets, Clements would be at Safety, Nate Davis would be throwing like 450 yards a game with Martz calling all the plays, and we'd like be going for our 7th title this year! ...shucks...

I think i should clarify me position on Clements, yes i do think that Clements isn't the lockdown corner that we all thought he'd be. He's not going to see the whole $80M, he's not even going to see anything close.

But do you see where i was going with the DOVA stats? I have a strong feeling that those stats are just portrayed wrong.

I have a hard time believing that Clements personally gives up 92 yards/game to #1 WRs. I really do.

Someone stated he is still owed $47 million? Do you believe he should be payed that? I sure don't bro I hope we restructure his contract or cut him. Especially if Brown is going to start now for him. He's vulnerable.

200 yards for Roddy White bro that's a whole chunk because that's his responsibility wouldn't you agree?

Look at the overall Dova stats not just rank per play.

AB83, the WZ cap guru claims that he will only see $47M of the $80M contract. I have a lot of respect for AB, so i'll take his word for it.

If Brown does outplay Clements this second half of the season, then i have no problems with Clements re-structuring his contract or what have you.

I addressed Roddy White before as well. Clements went for the ball knowing he had safety help. Roman was too slow to come over and the flack falls on Clements. IMO, we wouldn't be talking about this if Clements did the same thing in the red zone and Roddy only got 10 yards from the play....

On the other White touchdown, Goldson was too late to pick him up as White was running a post. The defense was in a zone.

That's about 140 yards that i've accounted for there.

Yes that is all I'm saying why would coach singletary favor Brown over Clements? Don't tell me is a strategy move because that is BS and you know it. He should be able to cover whoever. I wouldn't be surprised if he does not get his spot back would you? I've been saying since last year he should be moved to FS.

140 yards is still a lot bro about 100 yards a game I think it's pretty accurate.

this is a demotion point blank & not strategy. true number 1 cb's aren't moved to play da nickel this is very disappointing imo he's not a bad player at all just nowhere near to what he was hyped up to be but the front office didn't do due diligence if you pay dat much he has to be a complete stud & not just a good player

they should move clements to strong safety.

confirmed that he will start at left cornerback in "all alignments" Sunday in Indianapolis at the expense of Clements,the incumbent.Clements will probably shift inside to a slot position when the 49ers are in their nickel defense,which figures to be most of the time against Peyton Manning and the leaugue's No.1-ranked passing offense.

Lol, Clements is not on the way out, he's had some very good games, only bad game he had was against ATL, and a bad play or two against the Vikings.

This is more of a strategic move than anything else.

When you have to demoted your 80 million dollar CB as "defensive strategy" then that means there is serious problem.

Wow! All I can say is wow!



Yes, a serious problem indeed. When you make a guy the highest paid defensive player in the history of the game, you expect him to play every down, every game. If he doesn't match up as well as Brown, then Clements hasn't lived up to expectations as a stud CB.

I love Clements's physical style of play. I think he's had a couple of underachieving performances this year, mainly the Falcons game.

I am shocked by this turn of events. I would have been far less surprised if he started opposite Clements in place of Spencer, but this has me floored. Wow.

Oh well. I'd like to see Clements try some punt and kick returns if he's not gonna start.

In place of Spencer would've been a bigger surprise IMO. Spencer has been our best cover CB this season, easily out playing Clements week in and out. Spencer has played really well this year and I doubt anyone was expecting it.

Except for Singletary,
it turned out to be an excellent move.Spencer has played great this season,

I love Nate, but even the greatest DBs knew when it was time to move to safety

Ronnie
Rod Woodson

Nate would make a nasty safety. Assuming that this demotion is a harbinger. Hey, we need some help at safety don't we since Lewis is done (I don't care what the docs say, he's done. In fact, he'll prolly get another concussion this week -- don't get me wrong I've appreciated Lewis and his play but those chronic, serial concussions are nasty). If the 9ers have decided its Brown's time, I want to see Nate become the next ball - hawking, jaw rocking 49er safety.

Fuller was CB coming into the league. So was Hanks. Not the same, I know. But still. Some CBs don't have a safety mentality, Nate does.

This is what we should look into IF Tarell shows to us that he can handle his own as a starting corner in this league...we could go..

FS Goldson
SS Clements

CB Spencer
CB Brown
CB Bly
CB Hudson/Smith

That could suffice assuming Michael Lewis is done, if he isnt done, and if he doesn't suffer a concussion this week and doesn't play poorly, then hell, I'd say pull out Goldson and move Clements to FS and Lewis is at SS then come offseason we grab a safety (preferably via draft, and early on in draft) that if need be, can step in the following season if Lewis goes down or hell, if Lewis does go down, that safety can compete with Goldson for the FS spot as we'd move Nate down to SS...

Even if this Clements to nickleback is just a temporary thing and for "strategy", this is still something we should look into because of Michael Lewis' condition and for AT LEAST this season...next season we just have to address it in the offseason...

Offseason Things To Do
Offensive Line
Safety
Pass Rush

I feel like those are our BIGGEST concerns PENDING Alex Smiths play for the remainder of the season...

Now bring it together men, lets end today on a good note, get out there and get f**ked up, and see what the Niners got for the Colts tomorrow

You have a point. IF Brown shows he can be a future starter at CB, Nate would potentially solve our safety problem for a few more years.
