...but Aldon Smith would be a perfect fit on this team and exactly what we need.

Agreed, if only he had stayed out of trouble off the field, he would have gotten a huge deal from us, but on the other hand, we may have not gotten Nick Bosa in 2019. But I would love a Nick Bosa/Aldon Smith combo at the EDGE.
Where's Colin Holba when you need him!!

Would be a waste of a roster spot, besides he wasn't exactly that impressive, we also had Jon Condo for 1 game until he retired. Nelson is one of the better LS's in the NFL, probably just an off day, I'd rather have Nelson over Holba, or Skule over Holba if they did cut Nelson, then we'd have an open spot on the 53 and 48.

Agree. That would be an insane DLine, then you have Kinlaw in the middle.

Oh well, glad Aldon is doing well, like you said we wouldn't have gotten Bosa. Now Bosa is the one injured. football gods won't cut us a break at all, man.

I have never heard of an off day for a LS lol. They have literally one job. You wouldn't be so casual about this if it was a playoff game.
People probably see that we have the 2nd best pass defense, then they look at our Secondary and wonder why.

I wanted him so badly...thought this would be the perfect role for him and restart.

You gotta love this.

Does he fit Kocurek's system?

I spent years arguing with people who told me Aldon was only good because of Justin Smith. Literally one of the worst takes I've ever seen on this board.

yes

Nick Bosa is basically Aldon without the 35" arms.

He would f**k s**t up in this scheme!

PS: Why do all our best pass rushers end up in Dallas?

Well now with Sherman out and the FACT we did nothing to upgrade the secondary in the off season we are f**ked gents.
I really hope he's not out too long and only three weeks but if it's more than three weeks spoon and Mosley cannot hold the fort down. Will be game over

It actually seems like we are solid in the secondary position with great depth. I know it was the Jets and Giants, but but having Sherman, K'wuan, Mosley, Verrett, and Witherspoon at the CB position is just amazing. You may not like Witherspoon, which is fine. At times he played well, and I am not sure what kind of upgrade do you want for the 5th CB on the team?

Yeah that's b******t. I still say next to LT he was the most dominant pass rushers I've ever seen. He could do it all. Power, speed, amazing hand work, length, size. Man I loved watching him play

We'll see if he works out in Dallas. His performance on the field was never an issue.

I would prefer not go down that road again
