The #49ers are expected to sign former #Raiders and #Seahawks DE Dion Jordan, source said. He flashed with Oakland with 2 sacks, but now helps depth in SF – a team that had tried to sign him in the past.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 5, 2020 DE depth

Another first rounder on the d line. Next to those other guys he should be able to do some damage.

Well, Bosa isnt a speed rusher either, but hes still faster than other guys that we tried playing at edge like Sol and so on. That was my point with Deion vs Ziggy

Deion was more of "speed rusher" coming out of college, he won with length and his athletic ability. His biggest issue outside of being raw was he lacked power and a defined role coming into the NFL.

Ziggy was an athletic animal as well, also raw. Dude was like 30+ LBs bigger than Jordan.

Neither are real "speed rushers" Though.

Bingo.

Dion Jordan signing is simple:

49ers averaged over 4 sacks per game when they had either Dee Ford, Ronald Blair or Damontre Moore available in 2019 (quality DE opposite Nick Bosa).

That dropped to 1 sack per game without either of those three. It's critical to have edge depth

LOL.

"Greedy!"

Once Dion Jordan is officially aboard, the 49ers will have three top-5 draft picks on their defensive line — but only one of those players will be a first-stringer, and none of them will among the top-2 in terms of pay.

The 49ers are also up to *6* (!!) first-round D-linemen

I generally agree with Lombardi, but Lol at Moore really being a part of that equation

Moore played pretty well actually. The dropoff was when we put Zettel and that other guy I cant remember his name.

Nice. Maybe his substance abuse is all behind him and we get the best he has to offer.

I think the issue is that Moore has played a whole two games, and he got hurt in one of them.

So true. Dropped off a cliff after Moore broke his forearm making that sideline tackle.

Good system fit, we like our big ends. If he can help keep Ford fresh for the 4th quarter it is a win

moore was dang good in my opinion. zettel was ok.. he even had a sack that they incorrectly gave to thomas. he was fine and his claim was he was the second white guy on the d line

.. now please no one get nuts. it was funny.. if it was not nick. then it had to be zettel

I do call for a break out year for him. He has one of the best d line coaches to coach him up and he is surrounded with all-pros. Between this and jordan reed, the 49ers have made some solid moves. I'm somewhat impressed.
