Definitely appreciate how he's stepping up. Purdy is such an anticipation and trust thrower that I figured it'd just take them a little while to form a bond. Watkins was probably catching more passes from Mac Jones in camp. But it's definitely cool to see hard work paying off.

If the 49ers choose to release him, he can sign anywhere he wants.

I wonder if his release will be predicated on repayment of the $13,000,000.

I am with you for the casual outs but if a guy has been out 2-3 weeks and still out going on weeks 3-5 I get it. They're basically IR without being on IR. But a 1 week out player im not a fan. Not sure how to police it though

While we take PFF grades with a grain of salt, Maiocco opined that because the defensive line played well, the linebackers were able to benefit. Warner, Greenlaw, and Dugger each had a really great game. Whether you need analytics or not to tell you that, the eyeball test shows they were flying around and making plays.

I don't know how many times we blitzed, but it felt like we didn't blitz or stunt as heavily as we did in previous games. That freed up the linebackers to go do their thing.

And then also, at the end of the day... Raiders have a top 5 passing offense. Cousins plus Bowers/Mayer are not a walk in the park. We don't have players that can match up with those 2 TE's in man coverage consistently.

Only problem I see, is that the interception before shouldn't have counted as well.

You're not wrong, and I'm on the fence about this due to following the rule to a T... but regardless, this is a stupid f**king rule and I thought this long before this play. If a player comes down with the ball and the ball doesn't hit the ground, it should be a catch, PERIOD. Idk why the ball moving after it's caught even matters.

It shouldn't matter and the rule is stupid. It's following it to a T. But the rule is wrong and should be changed. You catch the ball inbounds, both feet down, fall to the ground, hit the ground well out of bounds after the play is basically over. The ball shifts slightly but he doesn't completely lose it. Incomplete. That's just dumb. A dumb rule where the rule is overthinking it. In real time and not slowed down to tenths of the seconds and millimeters of shifting of movement that's a catch. It's just a bad rule.

I've argued about this for a couple years at least. The rule needs to be modified or eliminated. We had a play yesterday where the Niners punched the ball out just before the Raiders player crossed the goal line. If he had crossed the line and then had the ball punched out it would still have been aTD. Why. Why is it a TD when the ball crosses the line but not a TD when the receiver comes down in the end zone with the ball plainly in his possession. It shouldn't matter what happens after he gets knocked out of the end zone. Same for wen a catch is made anywher eon the playing field. If he's juggling it all the way then it's incomplete but if he has possession and it moves slightly as he falls it should be complete if it never touches the ground.

They're spending way too much time reviewing plays while looking for something really trivial. Football was never meant to be played under a microscope.

Again we are back to this. Both WZ fans and certain limited articles. "He's not getting sacks. He's not making splash plays."

Which is NOT why he was picked. He was picked to be what he is. A very powerful set the edge guy. Who can also push backwards a pocket and collapse the pocket. He makes it very tough to run outside setting the edge. He is good at what he does. Just not a pure pass rusher and sacks guy. He was not a sacks guy and splash player in College. Why would he be for us? He has power, length, set the edge, collapse or push backwards the pocket. Those things he does do at a very high level.

You can make the argument that you don't like 1 - 11 overall for that. But to expect a non pass rush guy to suddenly turn into a pass rusher is foolish IMO. He never was that and probably won't be that for us. He still has great value IMO. What he does do he is at a very high level. Is it worth #11 overall? IDK? He does make us better when he is healthy.

All of this sounds familiar. Cant wait for the usuals to cite his birthdate.

Mostly agree with this, but I'd note that, yes, his floor as a player was to (1) set the edge, and (2) push the pocket with his strength. Given that we sorely needed to improve the run defense, I see why they picked him. But the hope also was that he would develop as a pass-rusher... maybe not a edge-rushing technician like Bosa that can do it all... but just develop some moves that work for his skillset.

Unfortunately for him/us, he tore his ACL. Instead of getting to actually work on his pass rushing technique in the offseason, he was working on rehab.

But yeah, expect a run-stopping DL on base downs. If he's in on pass-rushing situations, we don't expect much... maybe he drives his offensive lineman back, or he just gets a coverage sack on effort. Next year, maybe we see whether he is able to do more in pass-rushing situations.

I would give up a 1st and 2028 2nd for Maxx. He's here past 2027. FWIW SF is one of the only teams that can actually afford to put him on the roster this yr (that's actually competing to win it all).

I think giving up that kind of draft capital for Crosby means they are admitting that they whiffed on Mykel or Bosa is out of the picture next year.

Whiffed on Bosa? What does that even mean? He's one of the highest paid DE in football…he's a DPOY they never whiffed on that player.

both dudes are coming back off ACLs. Williams isn't even a true DE and was never intended to be that.

trade for Maxx only proves they want to win and he's a good player

Maybe wiffed on his contract that he's never lived up to?
