Our D-Line in 2010:

Justin Smith, McDonald
Aubrayo Franklin, RJF
Isaac Sopoaga, Demetric Evans

We badly need to upgrade our depth along the DL. We still have not addressed our NT need, and really must find another balanced End who can fit both the roles that Smith and Sopoaga play.

Anybody in mind........

One thing that stood out to me last year while watching RJF was his raw strength. I don't know if he is big enough to be a classic NT but he sure has the strength.

I really hope he plays well in the preseason at NT, that would be a huge boost for us.

I believe RJF is the same size as bryant young...of course he was a 4-3 defensive tackle, but still...

It sounds to me like this guy really doesn't have any new information and is just making s**t up. He doesn't really explain why he is expecting Franklin to sign, he seems to be guessing.

RJF is looking REALLY good. Aubrayo better sign soon or the Niners will take away that franchise tag.

I would like to see if AF and RJF both play at the same time in a 4-3 for a couple of plays

wouldn't it be great too if RJF could be the snyder of the Dline (not in performance but in number of positions he can fill). He has obviously gotten a lot of work at NT this preseason but he seems to be able to move well enough to play DE in the 3-4 too. Versatile guys like Justin Smith are beyond valuable in the 3-4 scheme once you get to passing downs and can slide them around.

He won't. He's in a perpetual contract year. He's playing for a long-term deal once again this year. He's in the same position he was last year -- with one exception:

This year's contract is going to pay him a boatload more money that he received last year.

Gotta love boatloads of cash. I wish we were all in the position to make them.

I can't say I really blame him. He'll get paid anyhow as long as he shows up later. Although, if his play is affected because he didn't train well enough while away from camp then he deserves to DIE!

A little harsh aren't we. Fired from his job, fined maybe, but die. Chill bro, its only a game. Go out and smell the roses.
