Crazy just last year we were thinking this would be a 4-5 year rebuild. I still think think 3 years now that we have a QB.

32 teams passed on him so whatever the concerns we had other teams had too. But yeah I'd be bummed too.

Sounded like there were medical issues.

I've come to grips with our picks and it may not be a bad strategy.

I was a big fan of Landry but if there were injury concerns then it makes more sense to draft McGlinchey if Kyle thinks Brown couldn't allow him to do what he wanted on offense and let's be real…our offense will be the driving force in how well we do moving forward in the near future.

That's not to say our defense can't take a big step forward but a lot more has to go right on that side of the ball - Foster not being suspended for a long time, Sherman coming back healthy and playing well, last years rookies taking a step forward whether Thomas as a pass rusher or Witherspoon as an outside corner. Can a guy like Attachou finally stay healthy and help out at Leo?

But the pass rushers in next year's class definitely shine with Bosa's little brother having a real shot to go #1 overall.

Hopefully Thomas and other guys on the DL step up their game as pass rushers, hopefully Richard Sherman is back healthy and gets our young secondary playing even better and hopefully Foster's chit gets squared away and he doesn't get a huge suspension.

A defense of

Armstead, Mitchell, Buckner, Thomas
Smith, Foster, Warner
Witherspoon, Colbert, Tartt, Sherman

In base isn't awful…obviously leaves a lot to be desired pass rush wise but I'd imagine we spend more time in Nickel/Dime looking like

Attachou, Buckner, Thomas, Marsh/Harold/Pita
Foster, Warner
Witherspoon, Colbert, Tartt, Sherman and Ward

I gotta say too I'm super excited to see our offense this year. Really hoping the guards step up and we have a healthy/cohesive unit blocking for Jimmy and opening up lanes in the run game.

I wasn't super excited about the McKinnon signing but seeing the cut ups people have done shows a guy who can do some really nice things here.

Having guys like McKinnon and Juszszyk(just assuming I spelled that wrong) allows Kyle to mind fuk the other teams defense on first two downs or on 3rd and short. Any other team with any 2x formation typically is going run. Definitely not the case here and that creates awesome matchups.

Also excited the development of our young WRs and TEs along with Jimmy.

Just need to stay healthy finally…

If Foster isn't good to go with this DV bullchit by next week something is seriously wrong.

This bitch is all sorts of crazy.

And while a part of me thought maybe she was still getting paid off the fact that she falsely accused another dude of domestic violence back in 2011….case closed.

Drop these BS charges.

Such good news on Foster. I wonder if there’s a chance he doesn’t even get suspended now.

Also hopefully this process has helped him mature as a man.

I think he still gets hit on the arrest in Alabama. Man I hope this wakes him up.

I'm still laughing at everyone who called for his release without knowing the facts.

Although I definitely didn’t believe him…and I still believe there is money involved…it appears the accusations were, at minimu, exaggerated greatly.

That said, he will still miss games and hopefully this is his wake up call. It’s been a good sign that he has remained out of trouble while being away from the team.

im sure he'll still get a 2-4 game suspension for the marijuana thing, especially since the incident with the diluted sample counts as a pop, so he's already in the substance abuse program.

looking at the evidence, there is no doubt in my mind he's innocent in the DV case. His only real transgression was breaking her cell phones, which i probably would have done too if my psycho ex-gf was trying to frame me for DV.

I would think a 4 game suspension is likely but at this point I think if the NFL suspends him beyond what the weed issue should dictate for anyone else with the same amount of strikes in the substance abuse program then the NFLPA should burn them the fuk down.

I don't even care about the gun thing…i wish Foster's lawyers put some seed of doubt on who put the guns in the bathroom in the first place. Obviously Ennis had access to his house for all we know she put the fuking guns there.

But no matter what happened with that and who put the guns there…the guns became an issue only after that crazy bitch tried to ruin his life/career by calling the cops on him. If she never makes that call there are no issues with the guns.

I understand it may not really work like that but the guns are legal in Alabama where he bought them. They were at his house, even if not stored properly. He wasn't out in the club with them.

You can't have the NFL rewarding crazy bitches like this and actually suspend the player based on them making a bogus DV claim.

There is a small part of me that hopes he doesn't get suspended at all…there is a very slight chance of that happening though.

Only way that happens is if the NFL decides not to play into that crazy bitch and ignore any charges even the guns based on her calling the cops on him and if he's not far enough into the substance abuse program to warrant an actual suspension.

We know he's at least in step 1 after the combine. Question is did he get popped during the season? I would fuking hope not but unfortunately he's not super bright and once you're in the program they don't announce when they test you.

Trying to find the latest rules when it comes to those suspensions but I only see a 2015 article. It shows that step 1 is 90 days and you're in the "clear" so if Rueben was smart enough to no smoke for 90 days(unlikely) or at least not get caught doing it(also unlikely) then in theory this weed arrest could be his first strike again.

We'll find out in a month or so probably. Would be fuking amazing if he didn't get suspended and this was a HUGE wake up call for him and he never got into trouble again.

Found a little more info on the weed suspensions

Marijuana discipline: The punishment for a positive test is also changing. As is the case now, a first-time offense lands the player in the substance abuse program without a suspension. The primary difference is the punishment for a second positive test: simply a two-game fine. Each additional violation receives the following progressive discipline: four-game fine, four-game suspension, 10-game suspension. A player can therefore test positive for marijuana three times without getting suspended.

Not sure if arrests up the ante but if I remember correctly it was a routine stop and Foster wasn't driving so really it wasn't even a positive test.

We'll see what happens and with Gestapo Goodell running chit I'd be shocked that regardless of the facts that Foster gets away without some kind of suspension after 2 arrests.

thanks for looking that stuff up gene. I thought the 2nd offense was a 2 game suspension, not fine, so it's looking like it possible that he make walk away from this without any game time lost. IMO, if he's proven innocent like I think he is, then like i said before, the only real negative he's had is the mj possession.

I agree that the gun charge could also be thrown out since it was only discovered due to the false DV charge.

So does an arrest for weed also count as a positive drug test? For instance what if Foster was arrested for possession but never failed an NFL drug test?

Couldn't find a concrete answer but i would think so.

I mean you're holding weed for really two reasons - to sell it or to use it.

Overall I think weed is such a stupid thing. I really hope it's legalized nationally soon. I don't even smoke but can see all the health benefits attributed to it. I'd rather have the players smoke weed versus popping oxys and vics.

Posted this on webzone but figured I'd put it in here too…the more I think about it the more I'm coming to grips why we didn't address pass rush in the draft this year at all.

Next year's class on paper looks stacked. All of the guys below have a legit chance to go in the first 2 rounds of the draft with guys like Bosa, Gary and Ferrell being top 15 picks

Nick Bosa, Rashan Gary, Clelin Ferrell, Josh Allen, Joe Jackson, Montez Sweat, Brian Burns, D'Andre Walker, Curtis Weaver

The guys after Allen still have to show a lot this year to climb into the first/second round but have the potential.

Sweat has to have another strong year.
Jackson needs to stand out with Trent Harris and Chad Thomas gone
Burns flashed big but needs to step it up
Ditto for Walker
Weaver needs to have another strong year granted he'd only be a redshirt soph so unless he really has a killer year he may opt to go back to school.

Practice is open to the media today i think. Can't wait to get any crumbs of insight!

FOSTER is cleared of tue domestic violence case. Now onto weapons charges and the weed.

Man I love our new team! So cool Colbert wore a JimmyG jersey to the game last night. I’m excited as it’s a close group of guys.

Glad the judge came to the logical conclusion. Thankfully gun charge dropped to a misdemeanor.

However I'm afraid after Jed abstained from the "unanimous" anthem vote today the NFL and Goodell will take it out on Foster with a heavier than deserved suspension. Anything over 4 games would be absolute horse chit given the situation.

Great news today.

Honestly hope Foster DOES get suspended. I truly believe he didn’t do anything to that girl but he has still had a rocky offseason and I don’t want him to think he can get away with doing whatever he wants.

Even if the NFL doesn’t suspend him the team should suspend him for a game.

If he can mature from all of this he can be a great player for a decade.

Lots of free time? Strong first post

I'd say going through the trial and seeing his career close to ending is enough of a wake up call. A suspension alone doesn't teach anything and the team suspending him without the NFL doing it would be an awful precedent to set.

They're trying to instill team unity. Can't turn around and then punish a guy. What did he really do? Drive in a car with weed…while it's legal in Cali. It's stupid but not malicious.

So what are you suspending him for? Basically getting pulled over while being black and having a crazy ex?

But have no fear, Goodell is a piece of chit who will want to stick it to Jed and the 49ers after the anthem vote today.

Foster's drug charges are now dropped…

June 6th we will find out about the weapons charges.

Marsh needs to pipe down. Not a fan of a player talking about another teams locker room…also, I’d be embarrassed if I were him. The news stories have been putting his stats in the articles, yikes.

Work hard and continue to improve…you have a longgggg way to go.

Agreed….especially when you're not good enough to be worth the media attention.

It's not a big deal….honestly you hear that from most of the guys who leave the Pats but you're not Tom Brady or even a Chandler Jones. 6 career sacks in 4 seasons. The only thing making him relevant is he was a former Patriot…for like 6 games or so.

Fuk guys…i'm so hyped for this season….really excited about our locker room. I don't know if it will translate to a playoff type season but I'm just pscyched to see this team on the field after a full offseason to build chemistry.

I like hearing about the development of our DLine and how the new pass rush coach is trying to get them to rush together but every time i see someone bring up Aldon Smith it drives me crazy thinking about what could've been if he was still on this roster and not a drunken fool who pissed away a HOF career.



We need a guy like that on this roster right now to really make the defense one to be feared.

I think if we finally get some luck avoiding serious/key injuries this year I think our offense will be top 10. I still have a lot of questions about the D due to all the youth, Rueben's probable suspension, Sherman's achilles rehab and lack of legit edge rusher so I'm thinking our D is middle of the pack at best.

Brutal schedule to start the year but not so bad to finish out the season. If we start out strong and get some early upsets we have a chance to see the playoffs but it will take a lot of things falling into place.

First 8 games..

@Vikings - dominant D and a stacked offense which actually has a legit QB now. Can we go in there and upset them week 1? Maybe but it's going to take a perfect game and not having Foster out there on D will hurt vs a very balanced offense. If we're lucky Cousins will be forcing things that bite him in the ass.
Lions - should be a win but a hard read with a new HC
@Chiefs - All depends on how Mahomes looks but they have crazy fire power on offense and a solid D and one of the toughest places to play
@Chargers - Their D is looking scary, chitload of playmakers and Rivers and the offense can put up points
Cardinals - Another hard read with Bradford/Rosen at QB but their defense isn't as good as it used to be.
@Packers - Another balls on the table game. Packers added some nice pieces on defense and facing Aaron Rodgers at home is never fun
Rams - Must win game if we want a chance at the division
@Cardinals - see above

First half of the season we'll be lucky go .500. Hell if we're 4-4 after that I'd say it's a big win for us. If we manage to have a winning season at the halfway mark then things are looking REALLY good.

…can't wait til training camp gets here so we have daily updates on how the guys are doing. I never get excited about who does what in OTAs but it's always nice to hear about how guys are more comfortable in the scheme.

Saw this pic…adding it to my spank bank



Gonna be tough to replicate the success of last year but if Jimmy even comes close we'll be in great shape.

RIP Dwight Clark

just came in to post this.

https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...weapons-charge

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster has been sentenced to probation and community service as part of his sentencing for a misdemeanor weapons charge.

Per The Athletic's David Lombardi, Foster received two years of probation, 232 hours of community service and $235 in fines after pleading no contest.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the NFL is still determining whether or not Foster will receive a multi-game suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy.





Now we wait and see what the league does with him.
