Lunch pail guy. Can see this guy with a long ST career.

Was hoping the 9ers would draft him in the 6th or 7th round. Happy with this pick up.

I know next to nothing about this guy. Did a quick google and it says speed is 4.8 forty. Slow. But so was Jack Reynolds.

Might want to slow your roll though. So far no legit sources are reporting that he was added to the 49ers PS.

League source: Former Clemson LB Ben Boulware visiting #49ers. If he passes physical, he'll likely be 10th member of SF practice squad.

I liked him, very instinctive player who is a lot like Chris Borland.

Borland without retirement? Lol.

As soon as he was released i was intrigued to claim and see if he can play his way to beat Coyle.

Wonder why Boulware didn't get much playing time with Panthers in preseason

Won't be surprised if someone steals him off the PS during the season, this kid deserves to be on a roster just off his motor and relentlessness..future ST ace at least in my eyes..

He is nothing like Borland who had upper echelon football instincts and awareness which allowed him to thrive despite his physical and athletic limitations.

If Boulware works out he could make a nice special teams career for himself.

Seems like he was instinctual. Regardless, ill agree with you in terms i just think its worth a shot to see if he can eventually beat out Coyle by next off season or somen.

Apparently Shanalynch does not see much adantage in signing other teams' PS players. Most teams are like that, though. If those players are any good, they are claimed. Better to sign own players instead, who are already familiar with the offensive/defensive schemes. It also rewards hard working players. Only sign other teams' players if there's no PS eligible players on the roster, or if the ones you have are noot good at all.

The team also ties with New England to have the most players on injured (13), I expect that numbers to be reduced - by injury settlements - significantly in the following week.
