Do you want to take a pay cut at your job? It doesn't matter if he loves the game or not, he's a great player and his skill set sets the market. What happened to franchises paying great money to great players?

I don't know Pittsburgh fan, what happened with AB and Bell?

SIMPLY because the opposing OL would know how dangerous we are and would be very very focus not to get embarrassed by our DL..

HOW do you think the Great Wall of Dallas became a great unit?? They all got sick of being manhandled by the Eagles that one day they just ended up owning them, and the rest of the league after that..

We should still have Armstead and Solly who can handle run stopping duties in base defense. Plus Alexander & Warner will be strong against the run....

And let's face it, having a good solid run defense is easier than a strong pass rush. To some extent it can be schemed once you have enough front 7 talent......but pass rush requires studs.

Now we've got both. Sit back and enjoy.

I have not looked forward to a Seahawk game this far in advance in god knows how long......

I thought the Herschel Walker trade built up that OL?

Interestingly enough, outside of Erik Williams and maybe Nate Newton, don't think they had any 1st rounders on the OL.

FORGET the pass rush, are we gonna be able to stop the RUN ??

These BIG names wont be sackin any QBs if they're able to run the ball all day..

The run? We were already a good run defense and now we have more depth so run defense should be no problem.

Our run D was 7th overall in the NFL last yr (YPC). Bosa was one of the best run defending DE in the draft...so yes we will be just fine there

This. People don't realize how good Bosa is at stuffing the run.
Buckner has to be the happiest guy on the team, suddenly having two bona fide pass rushers drawing attention away from him.

We improved our run defense significantly under Saleh, have we not? Why would we be any worse with the new guys?

Seriously, on paper our lbs will be better and we just added two beasts in the edge.
He's def very underrated.

If you're named the MOST underrated then can you really be underrated?

This is entirely rhetorical. Buck is a monster and I think he is underrated from a league standpoint but realistically when is the last time the 49ers have had someone who hasn't been viewed that way? Kittle set a record last year and there are still plenty of people saying he's not in the elite class.

When the team overall isn't good most of that actual good players get overlooked.
he's got the potential to be great, but all last year, I saw nothing but a HAUDINI magic from this guy..

he'd be there during the 1st quarter, then wont hear his name all game long after...

time to be GREAT YOUNG BUCK, time to be GREAT !!!
