that says alot... not many Dline guys can dominated LOS like that, whether its starters or 2nd and 3rd stringers.. Plus Dobbs is only in his 2nd season... Most Dline guys don't get to their full potential until about 3rd season or later.. Like RayMac or Smith.. The future looks really REALLY good for Dobbs. IMO

Not only did Dobbs bull rush O-lineman last game, he ran around them and caused pressure from the edge, he caused multiple pressures and I think shared a sack. Then he made tackles on special teams, which means he is fast enough to get his 280lbs down the field in a hurry. Then he played TE, and made a big hole for Gore to run through. But you're right, besides all of those things, he doesn't really do anything that impressive.

Becoming one of my favorite 49ers.

Smith has been good since he entered the league. He had the misfortune of playing for the Bengals.

LOL!

He looked good playing OLB last game and like you said, he can bull rush, speed rush (keeps his eyes on the QB) AND seals the edge well as a DE or SAM/WILL in the 3-4. I'm starting to wonder if his skill set and versatility would affect the roster any. If we have Brooks/Smith and Dobbs looks good at either SAM/WILL, will that mean we drop Haralson and his large contract and the two backups would be Demarcus Dobbs & Eric Bakhtiari?

I know Fangio said he wanted to get a heavy look at Ikaika Alama-Francis this next pre season game as well. Is Haralson on the bubble?

14 including the 2 playoff games

He is going to be a surprise at TE. Why? Because we are practicing him there but not showing it in a game. Who does that? A coach that wants to hide something.

We're going to see some crazy shot his year, I can't wait

What is the boards opinion of Dobbs now after the 2012 season? Didn't play much on the DL rotation when he was healthy; Plays multiple roles for the team (Special team, TE, DT/DE, etc; had a incident with the law (MJ car accident) and got injured and unable to play during the post season.

Due to the lack of depth/lack of pass rush during the post season on the DLine, We have a lot of people concerned about what will we do this offseason to improve.

Besides Special teams, Where does Dobbs fit in? Does anyone still feel he has the potential to get in the DLine rotation this year?

Yes, but we still need to draft DL

I don't know. I can see him being replaced. He is a pre-season warrior, but that is all we've seen up to this point.
I don't think he makes the team.

He did nothing that stood out that we should keep him or Tufuafu[sp].

I mean really he was warm body and that's it.

Whatever/JH & coaches think is probably bets since they see them everyday BUT IMO - send them elsewhere.

Had a disappointing season.
