Amen!

Never understood the reasoning for letting mailek go. Or Floyd for that matter. I like Huff but both could have been ideal depth pass rushers for us

Collins is legit the #1 overall interior defender on PFF
Hopefully they can get Kevin Givens back soon.
I'm telling you all:

It's Hendrickson, Hunter, or no Super Bowl. That's it. Those are the only two top 10 edge rushers that could realistically be available right now. Nobody else is adequately replacing Bosa. Chubb/Thibo/Key are just tiny bandaids in comparison.
Pull the Trigger on Hendrickson now. 1st rounder go for it.

We don't need Bosa level play to have a shot though. We also need more than one player that's the problem.

Thibo would be a long term investment imo. He's been more than fine in NY. I'd rather have Phillips in Miami.

Probably not willing to give up what Cinci would want for Hendrickson.

He's talking about Maliek Collins, who is on the Browns.

Jefferson got claimed by the bengals. That option is off the table.

I think we can survive long enough to get one of them cheaper near the trade deadline when they are more eager to get something. Yeah we are likely to lose to the Bucs, but I think we have it pretty easy after that. Win against the Bucs, then I think it is a done deal Lynch will get one of these players, but probably won't do it until closer to the Trade Deadline.

ahhh, gotcha. That's also pretty wild that Maliek is #1.
DL doesn't just need more help with the pass rush (hope they do make a move soon), but also another quality guy or two as, in addition to K. Davis and A. Collins (knee sprain) last night, Gross-Matos is down yet again (and for awhile it sounds like w/ a hamstring issue). Givens will be back at some point but who knows when.
Here We Go. A Camp Fave prolly gona get his number called.. Com on down Sebastian Valdez

Defensive line seems to be the biggest weakness on this team currently. Not the whole line, just the edge. Our secondary simply isn't good enough to hold up if we send more than 4, which is a problem. Need to find pass rush solution STAT.

Lambs had a healthy squad all around minus one or two starters, but they had all their key weapons and defense was not missing anyone... that being said, Niners limped in and out of that game with a win and played those dudes hard as any other team the Lambs played so far with a lot of our scrubs.

The Dline got some pressure and came real close on several snaps... the score / win tells me that even the Dline done just enough to HELP seal a victory. Yes, it doesn't seem sustainable to go on like this, they need to add a stud to go with Huff / Williams. They probably have been working on that, but it's still early for teams to consider dumping players... after going 0-5 / 0-6 teams could really start to consider and answer calls (from us).

Hopefully Gipson can be a solid rotational piece. Get rid of Grossman, he's hurt 90% of the time and doesn't do much of anything. They need to bring up Valdez, Anderson and/or bring back JJ now that Davis is hurt AGAIN.

Davis is solid depth but can be had for cheap due to that injury history.

Just read latest news on him, and thankfully it wasn't a lower leg issue... already got operated and wearing a cast so, he has a good chance of playing with cast on at Tampa. Davis and CJ West will be cast offs

I thought the JJ dude they kept over Anderson was gonna stay, but they cut him after he had a decent impact

Let's see what happens if Titans, Saints or another bad team loses this Sunday. Maybe Niners will reach out and they'll answer Other than ER, Niners could use some better oline starter / depth and maybe another DB. Or maybe they'll just wait it out till trade deadline...
