Arden Key, DL

Hes filling that Ronald Blair/Kerry Hyder role of the random DL who is always getting a hand on the QB.

It helps when Bosa is on the other side.

Time to develop? This is the first time in his entire football career he's played inside.

In fact, Demeco has been using him inside for about 4 games. He "developed" in 4 games.

He played well on the inside. I hope the 49ers keep him there.

The key is getting to the QB. This guy gets it.

Where the heck is Armstead? A very bad decision to trade Bucker!

Agreed but hindsight is 2020 and that was last year.

With Key playing well from inside and if Dee Ford could somehow return(I know, I know), we could have a pretty nasty nascar package.

I wouldn't count on Dee Ford and his balky back. As a veteran of back surgery, you're supposed to lay off on the activities that caused the back pain to begin with. For Dee Ford, that is the sport of football.

Key deserves some love, he's been getting it done. Kinda surprised Willis didn't get on the stat sheet yet after the preseason he had

Key is doing a great job. Now just sack cousins and we're good to go

That would be such a key play if he got another and in a key game too!

Not really hindsight when literally everyone but Lynch knew that keeping Buckner and trading Armstead was the better option there. Still baffles me.

Exactly. The correct move was to let Armstead walk and extend Buckner who by all accounts said would have taken less than what colts gave him.

we weren't in a position to try and pull a belichik move. He would have done that but this regime hasn't proven s**t to do that. Pay your great players and let the one year wonders go.

Agreed but unless time travel is a thing we're on to the Vikings which is no doubt a key game. Hope our key players show up. Such as Key.

Let me ask you all a question: who do you think is most likely to have been the culprit behind the trade Buck idea? Was it JL…or was it a guy with green eyeshades that said, "Hey kyle and john…,look, if we trade Buck , we can get a #14 pick in draft , a starter DL, AND SAVE $4mil/yr."

who was most likely the numbskull that proposed that, and then when he got some blowback , maybe enlisted a York family member to throw in his 2 cents? I do not believe kyle nor john were the ones who did this. Obviously no proof, but paraag is the money guy, and something i really worry about is ,
"Does kyle have the final say …or does paraag, the money man and obvious champion of the moneyball b.s.?"

Think on that and then point fingers. It just doesn't figure that JL, a HOFer, who knows D talent (Despite REuben the woman beater who tricked us all, catastrophe), would have come up with a dumb azz suggestion like trading Buck. Besides, john is big on character and leadership, so trading Buck just doesn't figure to be the guilty idiot here. Paraag? You bet. Again, my worry is he has the final final say in all talent selected. If that's the case we are dutifully screwed. I hope i am wrong, but all signs point to the money man. He's hell on wheels with contracts, but i hope he does NOT have final say in talent selection, be it draft, trades, FAs.

It would be really nice and good for overall team morale, if the Yorks actually posted that paraag has NO influence in talent selection.
