49ers release S Adrian Colbert-Round 7, Pick 229

Originally posted by 9moon:

Colbert needs to worry about how he can get his job back from Marcell Harris.. Harris, IMO is already the better player and he's got better overall instinct for the short period of time that he's gotten on the field.

AC got tossed under the bus for that big play PIN concept he gave up against ARI. But one must remember every safety for the past 30 years has been burned by that play at least once. Joe Montana destroyed Steve At**ter with that concept about 4 or 5 times in the SB. I don't think anyone would say At**ter was a bum.

I've seen Earl Thomad get burned by that concept too.

I still believe in AC. I think he has huge upside and has showed a rare range that can make him a special player.

I think the falloff of Reuben Foster really hurt him. This matching zone requires smart, fast LB's who can help against that intermediate area. Foster was the man in 2017 with that and AC was able to play center field.

Wasn't the same in 2018 and we also had some horrid tackling underneath that made our whole secondary start biting on short stuff.

Not sure why it's censoring A T W A T E R

Wait, nope, I see now, lol

Hope he can rebound from a rough year. Had high hopes for him at the end of 2017

Harris is a SS so Colbert doesn't need to worry about getting his FS job back from him

25% for saying At**ter.

He got injured. Tried to play through it but didn't look good. Hopefully will stay healthy in 2019. That whole secondary got injured like the receivers. Weird.

Yup.

Hope he bounces back strong this season

Yes. But I think AC could be very good backup and elite special teams player. If he's healthy he should have an important role. Just hopefully behind Earl Thomas.

Marcell Harris will beat him out even for the backup job, If we sign Thomas this dude will get cut in August

I don't see that happening, him and Harris will compete either to start or to back up each S position if Thomas is signed, he's a 7th round pick who is young and cheap so I'm sure he gets another shot to help this team somehow..

Is that AC rapping? If so, ankle looks ready.

Most unlikely. Rookie contract. Last year shows how much depth is needed.

Yeah, bizarre take on that one.

If ET3 is signed they're rolling with either four or five safeties depending on how ST shakes out (and ST is WAY to Colbert's benefit).

That's ET3, Tartt, Colbert, and at least one of Harris or Exum, if not both of them, or someone coming in and bumping them off.
