well, remember when we had frank nunley, aka the fudgehammer.. looks so sweet, hits so hard

And I love his nickname...not sure if official but it's "Pop" Tartt. Which makes a helluva lot of sense!

Forget Skittles, Niner fans throwing Pop Tarts at him. LOL

Well, for years now the only star on the DL has been J Smith, who is more of a lunch pail guy. I believe they have raised the overall level of talent other than Justin, so it should be a good group. Think back to the Sopoaga line, before Justin, and it was really missing. Isaac was our best DL for a while. Now I would put Carradine, Dial, Armstead and J Smith above that level...so all is good. Proof will be in the games though!

I take all this back! Just checked their old rosters and J Smith joined the team the year after Young retired, so...but Young's linemates were Franklin, Douglas and Haralson...not exactly stellar!

i think and trust franklin will be a better coach for us than he was a player,, those average or below average players usually make really good coaches

when i was a kid we never had frosted pop tarts

"We had graham crackers...with powdered sugar...and were happy to have them!"

when we drafted him i immediately fired up google before i made up my mind. that's what usually happens when they pick someone i had no idea about. im not a draft guru and i don't spend hours getting my mel kiper on. so i look at the picks after they're made to see if i like them or not.

i used to love to put betty crocker ready to spread frosting on graham crackers i used to love to dip fritos into sour cream and drink pop out of glass bottles while having only two kinds of gatoraide , which was in glass bottles and then you would collect the screw on caps of gatoraide that had the logo of every nfl team on them

i wish i could be like you,, i spent 15 minutes out of my life with my blood pressure boiling till i did what you did and then i was fine

No frosted pop tarts? Graham crackers with powdered sugar? Plain rice cakes? Poor guys.

FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS!

the guy was all over the field during the Senior Bowl, and I'm pretty sure that's where Baalke first noticed the guy... and then, he mostlikely started to think that Ward may be a NICKEL BACK at the very best, and that Bethea (tho a Pro Bowler) is up there in age, while Reid had already reached his maxed ..

Accidentally posted this in the AA thread:

We should state the difference between a guy that hits hard, and a guy that is ready to transition to ILB. Just because Tartt can lay the wood, it doesn't mean he can move to ILB in a nickel package where there is only one true LB, and offenses will try to exploit by running the ball. All ILBs love to hit, but not all guys that love to hit can play ILB.

Going from getting his keys (where to look) from the WR/TE to getting his keys from the OLinemen is a big adjustment. Safeties key the WR/TE to determine what to do as their first movement after the ball is snapped (depending on the playcall). ILBs will key the OL/TE/RB depending on the defensive playcall. Reading 'low hat' or 'high hat' (level of the Oline's helmets) isn't as easy as it sounds, and having a hesitant ILB would be a huge weakness.

Then there's the whole taking on Guards issue that would be the biggest adjustment for a DB moving to ILB. Tartt is big, but he's still a DB that isn't used to taking on Olinemen. Wilhoite played multiple positions in college, but he was at 240. So he was out of place as a safety and never projected as a DB past college. Tartt will have to make a significant adjustment or he will be out of place as an ILB. Us saying he will play ILB is just speculation on our part (unless I missed a Baalke/Tomsula interview stating Tartt would move to ILB).

is it out of the realm of possibility that he is used that way strictly on obvious passing downs with no threat of the run?
Not to make him a ILB converted but to strictly be in on passing downs only and his responsibilities are either coverage of the tight end (graham) or a zone lurk look so he'll never have to do those things a true ILB has to do?

just curious
