I know you remember the articles during Chilo's rookie year about he and Sing taking "walks" and talking during practice.

I think Sing favored him for some reason.

The one thing that stood out more than anything from Baalke's interview was his lack of support for Chilo Rachal. He detailed almost everything he discussed except for our RG.



I agree with NCommand. This GM interview is one of the best I have ever heard. I look forward to his guidance and direction for this team especially at QB, Pass rusher and CB this off season.

Looking forward to it, indeed. Finally! Were going back to our roots!

WCO for the win!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, BALKE GETS IT! Manusky is polar opposite in his vision of the OLB to #1, defend the run, #2 drop back in coverage and $3 rush the passer with specialists on 3rd downs; totally azz-backwards and it's why Manusky is gone.

BTW: That was one of the best GM interviews I've ever heard. Balke really seems to have a serious pulse on this organization and to each players strengths/weaknesses and takes into account the bigger picture. He covered the OLB positon, Anthony Davis (and the entire o-line, player by player), Josh Morgan, the QB position (big time), etc. He even covered "motivation" of players and how this affects play as well as age. He had specific examples of good play against top competition. It was a very very good interview and I highly recommend listening to it if you get a chance.

It was very encouraging...


You fricken tease! Where is the link?

LMAO! Sorry guys, they just mentioed that they would post the interview on KNBR today (just not sure when). Just keep checking back (happened about half an hour ago).

man for al the crap everybody was saying about Baalke he sure seems to have a great feel on this team and a clear view of what he wants... there is no way alex is back he took a lot of shot a the qbs who played last year, its seem to me he knows what he is doing and that he is really bright...

great year are coming for our niners!!!

let's go niners!!!!

He said he felt he is a good #2 but b/c we don't have a QB who can get him the ball, it's hard to really assess him. In addition, since he is rarely involved, he gets bored and we need to do a better job of getting him and EVERY player involved to keep their interest level at peak level. Man, this guy soooo gets it! Way to go Balke!!!

Think Josh Morgan in our Mike Martz system (running wide open; big catches/plays) vs. him in a Jimmy Raye offense (good blocker only)

Kudos to Fitz and Brooks on this one for shutting up and asking relevant questions.

It was very encouraging...

Probably not going to happen but I would love to get...........

Well that's something Baalke and I will have to disagree on. The guy alligator arms passes and doesn't try very hard to catch passes on deep routes.

If you listened to today's interview and you've listened to him in the past, you come to the understanding that Baalke is truly a 'football guy' and really seems to know the 49ers thoroughly as a team and has a plan in place to help further shape this team back into a winning franchise. Combine that with what you hear about his work ethic and it's no wonder he's so highly regarded around the NFL by some of the top football minds...those years under Parcells really helped, no doubt.
