Mostart runs so fast that once he breaks into the clear, a lot of the time none of the defensive backs are fast enough to get an angle on him. That probably won't happen as often with Sermon but Sermon may make up for it by muscling over guys more. Mostart is more of a home run hitter but Sermon could easily end up with more yards for the season. It seems like Sermon is pretty good at catching passes and YAC, too. It isn't that Mostart is bad at catching ball, but I wouldn't be surprised if Sermon ends up being a better receiver - which Shanahan would love to take advantage of. I think they are going to be very complementary and probably a lot of fun to watch - if, as you say, Mostart can stay healthy and if Sermon can get the playbook down reasonably quickly.

Kyle loves running inside the 10. Mostert wasn't good at that.

Not really seeing the Foster or Gore comparisons. His speed is much better than there's. I see a strong resemblance to Mostert with his acceleration and burst through the hole. I think Sermon has elite level balance and he's so slippery in traffic. He's elusive, yet has the ability to go through DBs. Gore had that too, just without the same level of speed.

Everyone knocked Sermon for his speed during the draft process. That's a big reason he fell a little. Injuries contributed a little as well, but Sermon's game speed is up there with anyone's. His style is perfect for our system.
his speed/burst is nowhere close to Mostert. Foster and Hunt are better comps imo. Balance/footwork are right on par with those two.

What's Mostert's 10 yard?

He's just as fast as Mostert 10 yards in but that's it. Still elite 10 yard split. So yes he has the same exact burst as Mostert 10 yards in and is a load to bring down. We have 2 great backs imo with Wilson and Gallman as backups. This is the best overall tackle breaking backfield I've possibly seen on a niners squad. (And I loved Craig and Rathman)

Just save Mostert for clutch moments/games and the playoffs. And let this dude run wild. If he plays like his college tape, he will be amazing.

Sermon and Mitchell are the future. Mostert and Wilson will probably be gone next year.

Is Trey healed up from that shoulder injury he suffered against Bama?

Yeah. He cleared his pre draft testing and is 100%

Has he picked a jersey number yet? Obviously he isn't getting #8. Maybe he'll take #28.

idk but i liked teco raw i thought he was good an moved the ball forward an got yards the majority of the times he got it.

but the longer he stayed here the more an more he missed games with injuries. just like too many niners he couldnt stay on the field. then mostert broke out. then tecos contract was done so it was a no brainer he was done here. jeff wilson def was better. if we could keep a lineup of mostert, wilson an sermon we will murder teams on the ground.
