rookies

I was not sure just how strongly the niners felt about guys like Kilgore, Person, Dobbs,Williams and even Tukuafu but it seems even picking up more reserves like Peelle and Gooden did not cause the niners to waive them. I just get the feeling these guys are going to count a lot during the season. I really like the guys and suspect they may be more player then even us fans expect. I think by a third of the season the niners won't hesitate to put them into games especially in the latter half of games to keep the pass rush up. and I think Kilgore and Person could ease the burden when pounding the ball when guys get a bit weary. I think Kilgore may soon take the OC spot. I think they need more of a Baas heavy mover to make the run game go. I was really impressed at how easily Kilgore moved DL by outmaneuvering them and stonewalling them after gaining position. He might be the best guard with his nimble feet. He is certainly the most nimble and agile of our interior linemen.

You expect too much. Unless some guys on the OL go down, the Niners are going to count on their 7 active lineman for each game: Staley, Iupati, Goodwin, Rachal, Davis, Snyder, Boone. There is not going to be a variation.
