[quote=Pocket$ $traight;533775]Sounds like Haynesworth can play some DE. He is the best at whatever he plays. DT, DE, K, P, beer vendor etc.[/quote]

I know he's pretty good at stomping on cowboys

re: Update: Evans Signs with Niners
 

[quote=SmootSmack;533733]With Taylor gone, it makes sense to bring him back. And I guess he'd have been given assurances he'd start if brought back. So then you get Smith/Oher in the first round and Freeman in the 3rd.[/quote]

Sounds like someone else is on the same page w/me....
Freeman will make a good OLB,perfect pick in the 3rd

re: Update: Evans Signs with Niners
 

[quote=Pocket$ $traight;533763]I would have thought he could get more than that since he has Drew on his side and Canty signed for 7 million a year.

I definitely think that Evans and Canty are compareable.

BTW. Huge plus that he left town without a deal. I view that as the skins have the last say in this.[/quote]
I don't think we will get a "hometown discount" and I believe Vinnie is gonna overpay him(what choice do we have), but I am sure he will sign here Friday.

Puh-leeze. Look at this collection of good plays, I mean highlight film. Interesting tidbit though, the announcer at one point says that in terms of frame Johnson reminds him of Calias Campbell so if that holds up Johnson definately has the frame to play LE in the NFL. You'll see that he lines up at LE in about 50% of the snaps in this video.

Then again Jackson did take down Tebow. I don't know both look pretty good but Johnson seems to have more potential as a Sack Artist

Just heard on ComCast the Redskins could also be interested in Renaldo Wynn. Presumably if we don't sign Evans.

I hope this isn't true. Renaldo Wynn is washed up and I'm surprised he hasn't retired.

re: Update: Evans Signs with Niners
 

Why would he ever want to be in SF? The offers can't be that different can they? Maybe he feels spited we didn't reach out earlier?

[quote=tryfuhl;533884]Why would he ever want to be in SF? The offers can't be that different can they? Maybe he feels spited we didn't reach out earlier?[/quote]

Plus if he gets the same amount in San Francisco he will make even less. I mean lets look at the facts. For one the housing markets on the rocks so selling his current home is going to be difficult. On top of that the taxes in California are backbreaking plus the values of homes are about 3 to 4 times more then they are in other parts of the country. For example a house in Ashburn might cost Evans $500,000. In California, especially San Francisco, that same home will cost him about $1.5 million. Basically if the offers are similar he would do best to stay put.

I remember seeing Pamela Anderson with a house at Long Beach on MTV cribs. House was bascially a one story estate that would usually cost barely $100,000. Still given it was on the beach in California I would imagine that it cost her about $1 million.

[quote=SmootSmack;533802]Give me Tyson Jackson over Johnson[/quote]

I don't want either but if i had to choose id take Jackson cause he can stop the run and is a younger philip daniels, but he's a slow pass rusher...johnsons gonna be a bust IMO

re: Update: Evans Signs with Niners
 

Tyson Jackson seems to be a better fit for the type of LDE we are looking to pick up. It wouldn't surprise me to see him slide into the second. If we see a scenario play out where Sanchez is available at 13, and the Jets want our spot to nab him, we could slide down t their spot in the 1st and pick up their 2nd as well. That could nab us a good RT and Tyson Jackson.

Not bad.

[quote=44ever;533750]Never heard of that. But here in Syracuse NY it snows almost every day. But if it will bring Evans back I'll give it a go. :)[/quote]

Yeah, I'll even take more snow in Saratoga NY if we can get Evans back.

re: Update: Evans Signs with Niners
 

im in favor of johnson over jackson. Johnson is more of an athlete, and with big albert in the middle i really think johnson could get to the quarterback better with his pass rushing skills. Or if we stay at 13 im hoping for orakpo, simply because he is a monster and can play either de or lb.

re: Update: Evans Signs with Niners
 

Who would you rather have at left defensive end and who would you rather have backing them up? Remember Orakpo means no tackle in the draft and Olshansky limits what we can do through FA.

Starter: Brian Orakpo, Igor Olshansky, Demetric Evans
Backup: Rob Jackson, Renaldo Wynn, Phillip Daniels

I would be happiest with Evans and Daniels, but if we can't get Evans then I would want Orakpo.

re: Update: Evans Signs with Niners
 

Is Orakpo a LE or RE?
Would we be stuck again with two high paid RE's?

I would love this scenario where we could take Oher and Jackson but:

Sanchez will be there without a doubt at 13, but im not so sure there will be a line for teams to trade up to select him. With the Chiefs and Vikings addressing there QB need through FA, it leaves less teams looking early for signal callers.

I still think our best hope is that Detroit takes Monroe #1 and then tries to trade up to select Sanchez then. Sort of what Cleveland did to select take Quinn. That would leave us with the 20th and 33rd picks.

If by pick 20 the top 4 OTs (Smith, Monroe, Oher, Smith) and Rey are gone then I think we're just hurting ourselves cuz i don't really see any other talent at OT or LB that will come in a be an impact starter as a rookie (under the assumption Curry will be long gone). IMO it's a big risk to trade back from 13 in this talent-thin draft... but i'm really don't follow college ball much so what do I know. Just going off the "experts" out there like Kiper who for instance doesn't think much of this year's LB crop after Curry, Rey and possibly the other two USC studs Cushing and Matthews.

I'm pretty sure he plays RE. I remember him going against Alex Boone when they played Ohio State. He did'nt look to good in that game from what I remember.

Let's see sales tax in SF and the Peninsula is 8.25% soon to be 9.25% due to state budget crisis, car registration is going to double. Housing is expensive but prices have dropped about 30-40%, thank god they repealed the extra $0.12 Cents a gallon tax that was on the original budget. Public schools suck, not like the one I attended in Rockville back in the 70's. There's a lot of negatives, but at the same lots of nice things. If he's single, he'll love it, more chicks for guys due to gay population.

Evans has signed with 49ers, PFT reports, for what it's worth.

So what's the verdict... mistake by the FO in balking at the Taylor decision so that we lost control of the Evans situation? Or were we just half-hearted on the Evans deal no matter what?

Actually now that you mention it the housing thing might be a wash as even though he'll have trouble selling it the fact remains that it's also easy to buy but I still stand by the statement of house values being 3-4 times higher in California.

As for the single thing well theres a saying that even when NFL players are married they're still single. Antonio Pierce told me that one. By all accounts though Evans is married so it's not to much of a selling point for him.

Ironically though not being able to wear 92 is a huge selling point for Evans.

I'm surprised though. How do you know so much about California? :D

re: Update: Evans Signs with Niners
 

Evans has been solid for us. And I predict he'll thrive rushing the passer (at DE or DT) with Haynesworth attracting a lot of attention.

I think Orakpo can play LE. He may only be 265 lbs now, but he's real strong. Taylor was only 240 and I think Haynesworth will be on that side too now.
