Buffalo_Stampede Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) All of a sudden with the shift of Graham to FS. our CB depth is terrible. Im sure if Darby cant cut it or we have an injury Graham would move to CB, but still. Edited August 6, 2015 by TheTruthHurts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 All of a sudden with the shift of Graham to FS. our CB depth is terrible. Im sure if Darvy cant cut it or we have an injury Graham would move to CB, but still. Thing is, CG and AW can both move back to corner in a pinch. We also have this butler guy everyone keeps raving about as well. Brooks and cockrell don't seem to be doing too well, but if Meeks, Rambo or duke prove thrmseleves at safety, our depth isn't all that bad.

We can, if absolutely necessary, roll AW or CG as a boundary CB. Brooks and Butler don't sound to be doing too bad as the 4th and 5th CBs on the roster. I'm worried, but not panicking.

And I believe that was without Watkins. But he certainly has gotten great reviews up until today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt in KC Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 So if Leodis isn't healthy by the start of the season what will his designation be, and impact on the cut-down to 53? IR with option to return? PUP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) So if Leodis isn't healthy by the start of the season what will his designation be, and impact on the cut-down to 53? IR with option to return? PUP?it probably depends on how long they think he will be out. If they foresee it being a week or 2 into the season, I'm not sure they want to go for the full 6 weeks. But if it's close I think they will want to use his roster spot and give him the extra time. That is what I would assume at this point because he can't even put weight on it right now. Might give a guy like Mario butler a chance to make the team. Edited August 6, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna get that with a Rookie......but he will be covered up by the rest of the dominant D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the thought of a rookie starting his first game against Luck and all those WRs is a little scary Edited August 6, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt in KC Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Is PUP to start the season the same as IR with designation to return? It sounds like players on PUP must sit out the first 6 games: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physically_unable_to_perform This is a better write-up that makes PUP and IR-designated to return separate. http://www.ninersnation.com/2015/7/23/9023391/nfl-pup-list-injured-reserve-nfi-list-rules-2015-san-francisco-49ers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 After hearing negative reports on Darby I was pleasantly surprised to hear Fairburn give a favorable review. But I guess even some uneven play shouldn't be a surprise out of a rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of gathered after listening to Rex that they really don't have a timetable at this point but it definitely wasn't season-ending. He can't even put weight on it right now but hopefully he can make progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 He's proven a lot of people including myself wrong the last 2 seasons, was very good last year and I want him available even if Darby is just as good. If McKelvin isn't there, what happens when Gilmore or Darby gets hurt? Brooks may be able to handle the slot but the outside? Graham is a starting safety, how good are Duke Williams, Cockrell? No matter what you do you've probably downgraded significantly somewhere back there which can force Rex to change his calls. And just to stress, mckelvin was excellent in 2013. He's a quality nfl starter when healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't even put weight on it right now but hopefully he can make progress. I did not feel very confident about the "setback" when hearing Rex. Not sure how many reps he needs in this defense if he is playing press and or man coverage. But i am not happy about it. Hate to throw Darby into the fire and see him struggle like rookie corners SO OFTEN DO ! because then we fans get all twisted up an take sides. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
