AA was awesome getting into the backfield

Buckner was better. He was also a locker room leader. Our pash rush fell off after Buckner left.
if he was it wasn't by much.. AA always moved the QB out the pocket for Buck and others to clean up

AA was a bit cheaper and was a good player. I still think biggest issue wasn't the trade but that the return on the trade ultimately netted Kinlaw. That sucked.

I think I read earlier that we'll be paying around 6-8 mil of his salary for this year iirc...

AA didn't get the glory but he did a lot of work, but Buck did all the clean up.. hence his push broom cele

Glad to have him back. Would love to get an Edge guy, too.

More important, I really hope Evans, Deebo and Robinson are all back up for the Raiders game. Really need the WR room to get healthy.

Love the trade, wished we could have packaged it with Nelson

Just happy to have him back. I understood the trade at the time, but they could never manage to replace him like they thought they could. He is the one player who did everything right for us and got the short end of the stick being traded. He is older now so we should probably dial back expectations but I am just happy he is back and hope he can finish his career as a Niner.
