Niners sign DE Leonard Floyd

Gamesmanship, probably wait until they are required to report injuries. Don't want to give the Jets anything to scheme up for our anemic passrush

I have liked what I've seen of Garvin, looks the part with quick get off.

I remember back in the day when like maybe 2-3 guys per year would suffer season ending injuries, but otherwise everyone toughed it out. Now everyone gets hurt constantly and has to sit out 3 weeks for a hangnail.

Hearing older players like Aaron Rodgers talk about how hard the training camps used to be, and how comfortable they are now gives me little hope for the future of the game. The game is soft now. All these NFLPA regulations that require no contact and extra time off. Sports in general has babied athletes, fretting over how much money they have invested in them and player safety PR, yet they're getting hurt more than ever before.

Those guardian helmets actually being used in games now is insane.

Health and fitness training has changed the game as much as anything. Fifty years ago, kids would have to go down to the local gym and lift weights by themselves, then grab a burger on the way home. Now, even high schools have weight rooms that the pros of the 70's would envy. The size and fitness of guys now had made for much more violent collisions and injury potential. If today's players practiced as much with pads as they did even in the 90s, roster size would have to be increased to 60+ to have enough players to last the season.

That still doesn't account for all the non-contact stuff. The modern NFL player would file a lawsuit against the league if they had to do two-a-days in camp. Football used to be like military boot camp. They built up a callous. Players now don't spend enough time conditioning their muscles for contact because everyone is afraid of sustaining injuries outside the actual games that matter.

The league is definitely faster and benefits from modern training and nutrition, but they have also changed the rules dramatically so you are barely allowed to hit anymore. How is it that in a league where they have made almost every way to make contact illegal, that players get hurt the most often? Guys used to be encouraged to end opposing players' seasons, because that was the mindset, yet they got injured less.

Dude, the current player is a long way from the players of the 80's and 90's. It wasn't unusual to see players smoking cigs on the sidelines back then. Today's athletes are so much more, and better conditioned that they are subject to injuries because of that conditioning. They put stress on every joint and ligament well beyond what was normal a few decades ago.

Saw a giants beat writer propose olujari for one of our corners like ya sin or one of their LBs. Do that in a heartbeat even with his injuries

So what could the franchise have done differently?

Not played him clearly. Like ever. Just have him rush from the sidelines this way he's not at risk for injury.

1. Yup. Or have a virtual reality version of Floyd rush.

Da f**k you talking about? They signed a guy who hasn't missed a game in like 5 yrs. He plays DL and there's massive human beings all around him every play. He got rolled up on.

That has ZERO to do with the system…it's called playing football. It's dangerous

Friendly fire aka Norton on Young & Reid on Bowman and way unlike Jimmy on Jimmy

Lol @ Jimmy on Jimmy.

Azeez Olujari was a draft crush. Can't remember if it was 2022 or 2021. Are the Giants that hard up for corners? And has Olujari fallen off or something? Just not a fan of trading pass rushers so I wonder why a Giants beat writer would suggest that.

Prayers answered for Floyd and YFM. We still need as much edge depth as possible.

Def interesting to trade a need position.. unless they feel he is a lost cause..

The season is long and we are going to need our CBs

I dont know what the guy is smoking but he needs to give some of that to the Giants GM. If the Giants GM called Lynch with a proposal like that Azeez would already be a Niner lol.

Getting a top 50 overall draft edge talent who averaged .45 sacks a game for basically 5th or 6th CB or UDFA 4th LB or 7th round LB is like xmas

Well that is some good news.

He has two weeks to heal up and get as fresh for week 1 as possible.

I'm concerned that Yatuer won't be available game 1. Our DE depth really concerns me - I'm hoping that our CB dominance can help make up that slack. That would be huge. The chiefs D last year had an incredible set of DBs and that's really what made their defense so damn good throughout the year. really hard to pass against and it gave their D line that extra time to get home or beat their block.

Really hoping that happens for us. I like our starting unit a lot, I don't like that we will be rotating scrubs. The dropoff from Bosa/Yatur/Floyd to the next couple guys is huge.
