KS ruled Bosa out against SEA.

Question on Bosa contract - I saw an article saying his cap hit is $54MM next year unless restructured. But if they release him to move on, then the hit is still $49MM.

How is that possible? Wouldn't his signing bonus be pro-rated annually, how could it all be piled up in 1 year?

This dude is really really awful. I hope we have seen the last of him at WR. Much rather see Pettis.

Who the hell said that? What I'm saying is that he should get the opps over a guy signed off the street a couple days ago (if it comes to that) with all the injuries.

I might be alone in this but I'm more interested in seeing what he can do than a 33 year old rental in cooks. If the targets go to Evans, Deebo, Kittle, and CMC; that's fine.

We don't know exactly WHY he is not getting those reps- is he showing in practice that maybe he doesn't have a complete grasp of where he's supposed to line u and what route he is supposed to run? If so, then it's not hard to imagine why he's not getting snaps in games. In Madden, you can sub in players with higher speeds and they will always run the route they were supposed to. Unfortunately, not all WR's do- do you know what happens when your WR runs a wrong route or lines up incorrectly? Penalties, wasted downs and possibly INT's.

At some point, you have to admit that at the very least, Kyle, who is as good of an offensive mind as the NFL has seen and sees things in practice that fans don't for years, has a good reason for not getting guys snaps other than "he's being a meanie and just doesn't like him".

Yeah sure; it's really not that big a deal lol. And nobody said the bold, that sounds like something Grant would say as a reason though

He's improved every game. He had his best game this week. He is getting so close.

SOBER - We made some off season moves to be able to compete with the Seahawks.
Offense - Their smother zone defense makes an offense work for every yard, but can be vulnerable to the outside. We got Evens to win on the outside, and then Stribling to be another contested catch guy that can work tough in the zones, and threaten the outside with speed. Kirk to back-up Pearsal with speed. Now we are down to a wounded Evans. Kirk won't be off IR yet. Hoping improved TE room can play 1-3 personnel to attack the underneath openings. Tonges hurt :(

Defense - Got Osa to add disruptive pressure up the middle, Halton was developmental but also now a disruptor. This was supposed to pair with Bosa, Height speed, and Mykel. Bosa out, Height raw and playing with a club hand, Mykel may be 1st game back. Hobbs was to be slot insurance -- now Stout looks like he's out for at least this game - pray Hobbs can replace. But he has minimal experience in the scheme and likely a lot of rust.

Given that the SEA counters are essentially not available, I am a bit pessimistic this game goes well. I suspect the game plan will look like the Rams gameplan - quick throws to keep their DL pressure from ruining the game. But without deeper contested ball receivers, and SEA swarm defense, the underneath fast pass game will be tough to win with.

HOPE - that 9ers can at least be competitive without their full roster available and that gives hope for the game later in the year.
DREAM - we pull a Rams game upset somehow. Get in SEA's head they aren't invincible

I'm pretty optimistic going into this Seahawks matchup. They can't run the ball with Walker gone. Without a run game I think we can get Darnold to turn the ball over once or twice. Mykell Williams looks like he's going to return which I think is going to be enormous for our DL. This team has shown resilience these past two weeks. Brock has been great. Evans played great despite the ribs. Kittle is on fire. The OL is cooking. Brock is having a career year. Chances are high we come in with a chip on our shoulder being the underdogs & wanting to overcome the way Seattle beat us last season.

I wouldn't expect too much from Williams in his first game back from injury. I would expect they'll limit his snaps like the usually do when a player comes back from an injury. The Niners may lose the game but they need to make it close. They can't afford the psychological advantage a blowout loss would give the Seahawks.

Yeah a blowout loss would be catastrophic. Back to back beat downs would for sure make me question as a player if we could even hang with them

I will agree on the fact that every draft is different and the coaching staff and particularly Kyle has a lot of input on the offensive side.

But I also think that things have been different since Adam Peter's left. For whatever reason, whether we've gotten over the Trey Lance disaster, or because John Lynch has taken more control since Adam left, there have been some strategic changes. Things like trading down instead of trading up, and an emphasis on great athleticism (example Enrique Cruz)

When you say *they* gave Saleh the 2025 draft, I agree with you, and I think they also gave the 2026 draft to Raheem. Matt Eberflus and Gus Bradley (i think) have been instrumental in those two drafts also. Halton, Ephiseians and Dugger, I think, are Raheem/Eberflus/KJ Wright picks. I think Kyle finally got the DC that he wanted all along and Raheem and Eberflus have changed the valuation of certain defensive positions.

I also like how they have built young depth even at QB and every other position (Rourk, James Thmpson, Sebastian Valdez) i think they really tried to bolster depth due to our Substation's annual required player sacrifices. All in all, I think Kyle has stepped back a bit from the draft and is trusting John more on his abilities to pick players for him. We'll see if John's contract is extended. 4-0 record, for now, shows the answer should be a big *yes!*

Upton Stout
Dominic Puni
Marques Sigle
Connor Colby
Kaelon Black
De'Zhaun Stribling
Jaden Dugger
Gracen Halton

These are all draft picks post Adam Peters, all of which are either starters, future starters, or heavy contributors. I'd say Lynch should be extended. Best roster in the NFL going on 7 years, even considering the garbage 2022 (minus Purdy) and 2023 drafts.

All those guys suck because they weren't high on mock draft lists. /s

I don't think that is a priority. If they need to trade for someone it would be a pass rushers or DT.

Sigle's injury open the door for Mustapha to get back his starting role. Maybe when Single get back from injury it will be Single and Mustapha starting.

I've been wanting to see Sigle and Mustapha for a while. Mustapha had a great pbu this week.

Only thing that looked off was that Evans throw in the endzone. Not sure exactly what happened there.

Wasn't a great throw, but putting it low and away from the outside defender that was lurking there seemed like a good idea (at least from the broadcast angle). Just kind of turfed it. There's worse possible misses for sure… don't want that thing up high and off target.

Oof. Vegas showed why they are one of the top teams. I was sweating. Two different games between the first two periods and the third. Lucky to get the W.

First ever undefeated season? I think so!

Pretty good start especially facing teams like LV and FL. I want to check out SJ vs Dallas tonight.

With all due respect, I am not going to rely upon Google for anything other than a good pancake recipe. Google did not build the Big Red Machine. Google did not play a role in the A's team that won three straight trophies. You want to rely upon Google? Fine. I'm not. Success in baseball does not rely upon punching a keyboard. I don't care what statistics that Google has armed you with. Capisce? It takes time and good fortune to build a winner. Posey has only just begun. Time will tell. Farhan Zaidi was given five years. He failed. Posey has had one year. Jury is still out.

posey has been doing this for more than a year

my understanding is his first real action was when farhan was waffling on the chap extension, posey inserted himself to get that done
that was effectively his first move, and that was 2024, so really the core of chapman, devers, adames, posey built all that and boy does it suck right now that's how you lose 97 folks buster can buy a mirror and see the problem, so i would say posey is pretty much cooked, he made his moves and they failed, and i think we may be close to a 'mutual' parting of the ways
