All I want for Christmas is some winning teams in the City. We know al too well about the 49ers. How they deal with this latest setback will likely not be my cup of tea, but we will see. The draft is off a ways, and trades/contracts (hello Brock) remain t be dealt with.
The Giants got a big boost hiring Buster Posey as the Pres of Baseball Ops, and signing Willy Adames. If they get Corbin Burnes, I’d be thrilled. Find a Josh Bell type for 1st base to hold the spot for Eldridge and I’ll be excited about the upcoming year.
The Warriors? They suffer the same fate as the 49ers. An aging roster that doesn’t have enough complimentary players to close out games.
Hope y’all have a fun time with family and friends or however you celebrate Christmas! Laying low this week, and took some time off.
I love this quote from NJ article
Schulte writes: “On runs up the middle, the 49ers rank dead last in the league in yards, first downs, and touchdowns allowed. The middle of their defensive line has been a problem for years, and it’s about time that they fix it.”
Fat Man in the middle Irish.
I know I’m a broken record and all but, it’s a glaring problem that needs to be addressed. Hopefully they’ll get it done sometime soon.
Wide 9 scheme NJ.
Yes 12th I know but…
Our interior rush defense is, and has been, awful. I’m lobbying for some heavier anchors inside to collapse the pocket and plug the escape lanes on passing downs as well, not necessarily a 3-4 NT.
We can’t stop the run either.
Merry Christmas, Charlie, enjoy your time off.
Thx, Paul. Same to you!!
Saw TSO years ago in Sacto. Hell of a show!!!
Fuck. Burnes signs with the D-backs.
Same as it ever was.
Of course the ‘front-runner’ Giants and Blue Jays are out in the dust. Still guys to get.
Alonzo is the next guy I want.
I hate those opt-out contracts that Z did and that fortunately Buster doesn’t seem inclined to do. It’s just no way to build a team. Sounded like Giants offered more years and money to Burnes than AZ did; wondering if it was the opt-out after 2 years that made Burnes sign. He’s a Boras client, yes? Boras loves those opt-outs. Hope it backfires on the Dbacks.
And yeah, Alonzo would be a great add. And still need a frontline pitcher. They sure as shit better not be done yet…
Good article on whether to keep Moody or not

My guess is there’s kickers coming out that can be had for less than a 3rd RD pick.
Seems we have a major blind spot when it comes to selections in RD3.
