He finally gets used for his ability, not what he doesn't do well. Hu- rah!
well if he plays. teams will be really worried about bosa nova baby buck and dee so he should have a all pro year. if he plays with those three. he should be left all alone most of the time!

Exactly....he is likely to just be singled and when you really look at it, the OL can't double everybody. It could be the setup for a huge Solomon yr. i don't think it would last too long, but that just means the opponents O has to keep more guys in to protect the QB. But they can't double 4 guys...not really. If you add the QB, that would mean only two guy would be out shagging balls or running with the ball. TWO.

No matter how you slice it, this awful D is about to do a frog to a prince story in 1 season. How else could you read it? I think this DL is going to cause all sorts of misery to our opponents.

All Kyle has to do is scheme how to score with ZBS from the RZ ...and you know he has spent all off season working on that. His one failing. My bet is he figures it out...or he finally has Pettis healthy and Jet on the field. Plus Brieda, Au Jus, Marquise, kittle, our new RB, TT, et al. And I suppose he gets another WR in there somewhere plus a TE late or UDFA, AAF.

If we get Bosa I say Thomas gets 7 sacks and a ton of pressures this year.

Hu-rah this year and next, but what about contract time?

I'm perfectly fine if Solly just becomes a great player, but if he just looks like one because of the talent around him is that good enough?

I agree, Cisco. If we draft QW (because AZ head-faked on QB), however, someone on the DL will have to go. Whatever opportunity he gets, I hope he nails it.

I think if we draft QW Thomas stays regardless. Thomas is on a cheaper rookie deal for 2-3 more years. He's perfectly fine as rotational player at worst draft slot be damned. AA is in his final year so he's moot. More likely someone else gets dumped. It's not like we don't have cap space lol.
My comment wasn't based on cap space, but you may be right-- and I hope you are.

If Bill Belichick calls for Solomon Thomas, does that give you pause? lol

No because BB can make a ham sandwich a pro bowl defensive player.

I don't think our new DL coach believes in Thomas.

Why the hell did we draft a guy who doesn't fit the scheme in the first place? It honestly looks worse to trade Thomas than Foster bombing out for being a dips**t.

Understood. I think if we draft QW they pretty much know he's the starter game 1 so then it makes sense to trade some of the other guys and get something for them, while giving them a chance to start elsewhere. We shall see!

Because we drafted more for position importance, familiarity, and need more than BPA.

Yup. Also, i like Thomas but didn't want him because he was redundant. I'd take QW if Bosa is gone though. Sucks for Solly, but I wouldn't pass up on Quinnen for him.
