Thomas was better than Oliver. If you keep the top six, Oliver wouldn't be on the list after yesterday. We'll see how the next few weeks go.

Come on OTC, they play different positions. The slot is waaaaaay harder to play than outside.

Yes, that's why I'm saying we'll have to see how things go from here. There are several others getting looks in the slot that can also play outside. Granted Thomas isn't one of those, but I could see him making it as outside depth while Womack or Jamison take over the slot if Oliver doesn't bounce back.

Have you heard reports of others competing in the slot? Didn't we move Womack outside too? Jamison might be decent competition in the slot. Everybody else seems to be competing outside ATM.

I think AJ Parker is a dark horse candidate to take the slot CB position away from Oliver. He was signed to a futures contract last year and it sounds like the 49ers really like him. D'shawn Jamison is looking more and more like a lock for the roster but the questions is where doe she play as a DB, outside or inside.

I know we paid Oliver 3M guaranteed but he looked too big and too slow to play slot.

Thanks fellas!

Me too. People were impressed with him bc he had an int vs the rams in week 17 to help send us to the playoffs but fail to realize he gave up 2 TDs in the NFCCG and so many other TDs and big plays. Way too much bad than good but I hope he continues on his trajectory.

Way too risky to start him, especially in a crucial game.

He was a rookie then. It is a bit harsh to say it is too risky to start him early in the season because he didn't play well in his rookie season.

I remember the end of this rookie season and we all thought he was a starter for sure. Then last year happened and he fell off the face of the earth. Now from what we've seen he's back.

Is this guy good now?

Thomas, Womack, and Jamison are all outplaying Oliver and that's all that matters. I don't know if he's good, but hopefully he continues to keep playing this well. Lenoir moving inside is big time if someone else can prove that they can lock up the outside when he mans the slot.

We still have Luter also. I don't see Kyle cutting him, He was drafted this year and showed out in OTA's but then got hurt early training camp.
