Looks good, Razor.
ReplyDeleteMy only surprise is Cruz. I thought that his best chance was to be stashed away on PS. Halton and Thompson have had good TC's, and Halton could be breathing down Collins' and West' neck sooner than later. At any rate, the young players are making their presence known.
Guerendo can still be a factor if he makes a good injury recovery.
All and all, nice looking roster.
I think the plan with Cruz is to give him as many meaningful reps throughout 2 seasons as possible in the hope he develops into their LT.
DeleteOther than Puni I am out to lunch on guards. I think Worth makes this team not sure about Martin or Gifford. Your list looks good. It's a real good team - on paper that is.
ReplyDeleteI said before camp Pauling would make the roster over Cowing.
DeleteWillis has the biggest upside if the competitions close due to his elite run blocking. All he needs is NFL S&C to strengthen his base in pass pro.
No issues with Pauling, but the guards after Puni are a concern. Still, with so much firepower on offense, I think they can overcome a poor to average LG. I’d start the LG who’s the best at pass blocking—it’s more important to protect Purdy than to count on him for run assignments.
DeleteAre you of the opinion that Shanahan has changed his playbook from being predicated on the run game to a passing offense?
DeleteI ask because I'm seeing more and more people say this is the case, but I believe it was because they couldn't run the ball last year. Likely tied to not having a proven X WR that defenses had to account for.
DeleteEvery 49ers QB over the years has been successful when the running game has been a force. Purdy will be a happy camper with a good running game leading the march.
ReplyDeleteThe Shanahan offense has always been predicated on running the football first and foremost.
