Has he galvanized our coverage groups to be elite? No. He's not even a gunner.
He has 22 solo tackles in his two years here. Zero forced fumbled.
He's not supremely fast. I can't remember a single hit of his that set a tone.
WHAT THE HECK ARE PEOPLE SEEING WITH THIS GUY?!
Bingo. Wasted money
It's not like I'm saying he sucks... but Kyle has never put a focus on special teams IMO. So leading THIS team in ST tackles is not that impressive to me.
What was impressive to me, was Chris Conley's performance at gunner in the playoffs. Or Mostert at gunner. Or that one guy we signed from Detroit around 2013, he was like 6-5 WR that made a lot of plays. Hell, even Bubba Ventrone. That's a special teams ace.

I don't know, maybe that is a bit much for what he does

ok i just looked at this for a 3rd time...2 year extension worth nearly 10 million. That can't be right.
If he's actually getting 5 million a year then Lynch needs his head examined. Asking Juice to take a pay cut and then give George Odom 5 million a year. Most kickoffs are touchbacks. We piss away more cap space then I can count and then have to watch Spencer Burgord,McKivitz and Ambry Thomas as starters. Shaking my head.

I don't get this either. ST was not good. He was hurt. He's in his 30s
He is a backup safety in a market where you can find a vet starting safety like Gipson a year ago for less money.
I try to stay positive but this seems like a luxury signing. We don't have that luxury currently, I know a lot of these signing align with Brocks payday but damn. As someone else said too, ask juice and Arik to take a paycut then pay a special teamer 5m a year.
Was released after a surgery. I'm not a cap specialist, but I believe the Niners take the dead cap hit from his extension (which was very unwarranted imo) no matter whether he chooses to re-sign or goes to another team ?
