i think white people are better at being wide receivers than black people. We need to sign a white guy receiver.

Where you reading that? I mean, I believe you, but I want to read more about it.Tamanon said:
Also, methodman, don't get too hyped up about Michael Lewis.

yeah sounds like a good 3rd down pass rusher, which would be an area of need.

I'm going to miss both Fletcher and Clements, but Fletcher was a much better player because of his intangibles.
49ers definitely spent too much, but every team is going to spend too much.
IF Nate Clements shows up to play every single game, you got a hell of a player because when he's on his game he shuts guys down. His tackling got progressively worse over '04-'05, but I think that had more to do with the coaching staff than Clements himself. He definitely rebounded this past season. Clements is a takeaway machine, always trying to stripe/rip the ball from the ball carrier. IMO he's one of the most physical corners in the NFL, he grabs/holds/chucks and gets away with it 97% of the time. His catch up speed isn't the greatest but he rarely gets beaten deep.
IF Clements is motivated he's a great player (see his '04 season when the Bills were in playoff contention). He destroyed most of the WR's that went against him that season, and almost singlehandedly won the last game of the season against Pit which would have propelled the Bills into playoffs. Great player when motivated. As long as the 49ers are contenders he's going to show up and be a force.

When the Bills played the Rams, Clements mauled the crap out of him. Holt had 90 yards by the end of the game, but most of that was gained in garbage time (Bills won by 20 and it wasn't a contest). I think he'll hold up well in that division. He's not a leader on D however, quiet guy doesn't really yell or motivate but he does talk trash, a lot of it as a matter of fact.
He was my favorite Bill next to Fletcher, sad to see him go.

that game was tied at the half, but clements buried us with a punt return in the 2nd half. but i think pat williams was responsible for most of that beatdown.
and now you know how we felt about losing fletch 5 years ago

Your special teams killed you that game, that and the sacks/oline, Lawyer Milloy had 3. Fletcher is great player but an even better person. Maybe some of that character rubs off on Taylor. :lol

hell yeah, hes a great locker room guy by all accounts, and he gets the defense fired up. great signing by the skins, even if he is a little old.
We might have over paid for him a tad, but **** it.. And **** ADT too.
Come on JOEY come home to San Fran. This pretty much means we'll probably go after Carriker in the draft, maybe Moses. If not we have 8 picks in the first 4 rounds, I'm sure we can fill the rest of our needs there.
edit: actually the structure of Clements contract doesn't it make it nearly as bad of a cap hit as one might think. Nolan was on KNBR and stated that even after Clements and Lewis we would still have enough to honor our deal to ADT, take care of some other issues, and draft.. So we're still in good shape.

welcome nate and michael! you will have your first superbowl ring soon. ADT don't go to the patriots! bellicheck will work you out of the league via horrible practice schedules causing concussions. come to san francisco and be the final piece to our defensive puzzle, not some bullshit role player in new england!

guys chill out. the clements deal is essentially a 6 year, $40 million dollar contract and it is an incentive-heavy contract based on performance and playing time. yeah people are going to have cock mouth when they see "8 years 80 mil!" but the reality is it's a good contract for the best CB available.

yeah i've seen lots of reports, but nothing is a done deal! not until he signs the contract my friend! you want to get paid or not you bitch ADT? **** new england and everything about new england, including the patriots!
why would houston go after garcia? granted he is a improvement over carr (not saying carr is a definite bust yet), but i mean to get what? 1-2 good seasons? would they not rather get someone younger like a qb of the future? unless of course they get garcia and then draft a qb to groom.

No oneStupid front office wont even schedule visits

*Sigh* I thought my Jets would make a run at him but I guess $$ was too much. I wonder where Porter's gonna end up now.
