The 49ers signed G Leonard Davis

This is just insurance policy in case the young ones don't pan out during TC/preseason. They can still cut him if he doesn't show anything once in pads. He was one of those that should have been moved to guard in the begining. Like so many we hear about at draft time, but a teams deserate need for a player at that position can make any team do silly things.

you used the word ass 3 times in that sentence

Nice signing - how many 1st rounder do we have right now? I know we have 3 additions including LD.

Nice first post.

he wont make the final roster

Eh

Back in March, I had a feeling the Niners would eventually sign Davis. I hope he has a couple good years left in him. Whether he starts will be based on a few things:

1. How well he blocks on play action passes.
2. His stamina over a whole game.
3. If he can develop a rapport with Goodwin and A. Davis to work as a team on the right side of the line.
4. Whether he has the footwork for the occasional pull, and for blocking effectively at the second level.

I think Harbaugh et al. would prefer Davis start and have Boone available to play tackle if/when one of the starters goes down (or if Boone can win a starting job at tackle outright, more power to him).

I have mixed feelings about this one. I know Boone is untested at G, but I think he'll adjust pretty well. Plus we have some promising projects and a couple of good looking rookies we drafted. So in that way I really don't like this move. However, I do understand the move considering that G is the only question mark on the line. JH is quite consistent with forcing good play out of players up and down the roster with competition. I can't disagree with that, so in that way I like the move. So far JH's methods have worked. Now I doubt he'll beat out Boone but he"ll provide some competition. How many people think he'll make the team?

It's just adding more depth. Why is this being debated so much?

Seriously, this is was a smart depth/veteran signing, very happy with this. -Everybody knows this means L.Davis will replace Boone at his usual 'swing-tackle' job (with Boone running away with the RG job). Perfect for Leonard because he isn't a 3-down OG anymore, but can perform 100% when used in strict-moderation.

Jesus, our line is turning into a fully mobile walking tank...

On offense, defense, and ST we only have one starting position that isn't solidified, and we just signed an aging former pro-bowler at that position today.

That we're debating something as trivial as this is a good thing. It means we don't have a lot of problems.
