Ayo! It's Bryan here. Today, going to be talking about the San Francisco 49ers. Going to be
doing the defensive side of the ball now for free agents that the 49ers
should be going after in 2018. So let's just dive into it. Now, in my last video, I
talked about the offensive side the ball and who should they get in free agency.
So if you want to check that video out, it's going to be a Card section right here.
But right now, I want to talk about the defensive side the ball. I don't know if
I'm as intrigued with the defensive side of the ball in free agency as I was in
the offensive side of the ball, but I'm going to try my best. I'm going to be doing
defensive lineman, kind of linebacker sort of and then mostly defensive backs
because I think defensive backs have some pretty damn good talent.
Linebacker, there's only pretty much one that I would be interested in, but other than
that, not really. Going to the pass rushers right now, I think that's the
most important position in football. Well, not in football, but on the defensive
side the ball because if you can win in the trenches, you can win football
games because pressuring the quarterback, generating sacks is a really good way to
be a dominant defense. You got to have a defensive line, yes you do. There's a
couple of players that I'm interested in on the free agent market. There was a
couple that I liked before, but they don't fit the 49ers 4-3 scheme like Connor Barwin.
I do love me some Connor Barwin. I think he's doing a pretty damn
good job under Wade Phillips in Los Angeles and he was a pretty damn good
job in Philadelphia when he was there. I think he had 14.5 sacks in 2014
or something like that. I think that would have been a good pickup, but
unfortunately, he struggles under the 4-3 defensive end. So I really don't want to
pick him up. I would love to, but we don't run a 3-4 scheme. So he's out of the picture.
Ziggy Ansah, I would love Ziggy Ansah as well, but
a couple of days ago, he signed a franchise tag. Can't do anything right there.
Kony Ealy, I think that'd be an interesting case study right there.
He did a pretty damn good job in Carolina a couple of years ago and in the Super
Bowl, he was sensational. He had 3 sacks, 1 INT on Peyton Manning.
Wow! That was just freaking sensational. I know that was a couple
years ago. I know that was one game, but it was the most important game and you want to get
notoriety, you do it in the most important game of the year, which is the
Super Bowl. So he had a pretty damn good performance. If the Panthers would have
won the Super Bowl, he would've been Super Bowl MVP. He had a really
impressive game there. He had a cup of coffee New England. Got cut there
and then New York, he was kind of ok. I don't know. It was a little awkward. I don't
know if the 49ers should be going after him. Personally, I would take a flier.
See what he can do as a 4-3 defensive end and he did a pretty good
job in Carolina. So you might as well give him a chance to see what he can do in
San Francisco and I know he was inconsistent. I know that was probably
why he didn't last as long in New England and what have you, but I think he can do
a pretty damn good job for the 49ers. Just got to see what he can do in
training camp. Compete with Solomon Thomas and DeForest Buckner.
All those cool stuff and yeah. We'll see what happens. If they can get Kony Ealy, I know
the 49ers last year, they didn't pick him up. It was just because of consistency issues.
If I were John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan, Robert Saleh, I'd take a chance on him.
See what he can do. Sign him to a... you know, I don't know. Like a two or three
year deal and if he doesn't work out, then just cut him in training camp.
But, if he works out, then hey! He can make the roster. We'll see what happens. I'm not
sure what they're going to be doing, but personally for me, I would take a chance
on Kony Ealy. See what he can do, despite the fact that he's inconsistent.
Whenever he can get it on, he can get it on and who else? Demarcus Lawrence, I think
that'd be an interesting case study as well, but I think he's going to be getting a
contract extension from the Dallas Cowboys sooner rather than later. I don't
know there's going to be a pickup right there. He was a pretty damn good EDGE
rusher for the Cowboys. I think he had 14.5 sacks last year. He almost led
the league in the NFL in sacks. So very impressive. He had a breakout year and maybe
if he starts with the 49ers, he can have success here as well. I think they
run a similar 4-3 scheme. So it's not really going to be a big change or
anything like that. We don't run a 3-4 scheme. If the 49ers can pay
him big bucks or pay him for the right price as always, right price, then
definitely pick up Demarcus Lawrence, but I wouldn't overpay him. I don't think
Demarcus Lawrence warrants it, an overpaying contract, but I think if they
can get him for the right price, then definitely go after Demarcus Lawrence.
I think in the end, he just signs with the Dallas Cowboys to an extension and hooray right?
Julius Peppers, I think that'd be a nice flier as well.
I don't know, these free agent class of defensive people, I'm not the biggest fan
of, but just putting it out there. Peppers, I think that'd be a good pickup as well for
the 49ers. I think he's better than Elvis Dumervil at this point of his career.
He's pretty good for situational pass rushing and he can mentor both Solomon
Thomas, DeForest Buckner, all those great players on the defensive linemen.
The very young defensive linemen. That could be a really good use right there if he
does play football again, but I don't know. I highly doubt he might sign with the 49ers.
I think if he wants to play football again, he might just go back to
the Carolina Panthers. If the 49ers can get a good enticing offer to Peppers,
maybe he'll go to the west coast and play for the 49ers.
We'll see then, but all these players are a little big asterisk marks because either
they got franchise tag or they don't fit our scheme as well or they're inconsistent.
So really, the only players we can go after are Julius Peppers and
Kony Ealy to be honest with you. Other than that, Ziggy Ansah's tagged,
I think Demarcus Lawrence is going to sign a contract with the Cowboys and Connor Barwin,
he doesn't fit our 4-3 scheme. Can't really do anything about that. So that's
pretty much it for defensive lineman. I thought this was going to be an okay class.
Looking at it, I don't know. Not the biggest fan of it, but if we had to make
a free agent splash, there you go. Those are the people I think we should be going
after based on fit scheme and I guess making money as well. Paying them money.
That's pretty much it. Linebacker, I'm not really interested in
these linebackers to be honest with you. The only one I'm interested in is
NaVorro Bowman. Yes, he played for the 49ers last year. If you didn't know about
that, then you must be lost as a 49er fan or you must be joining the 49er
bandwagon if this was a bandwagon, but NaVorro Bowman, I think that would be a
great pickup as well because Reuben Foster he has been getting himself into
hot water. I think we all know about that. So it wouldn't hurt at all to get
NaVorro Bowman back. We'll see what happens. I don't know. I mean, he kind of
struggled a little bit under Robert Saleh's defense. Might not work out, might
work out. If NaVorro Bowman was really interested in going back to San
Francisco, then hey! Come back to San Francisco. I would love to see what he
can do again as a middle linebacker for the 49ers 4-3 scheme. That'd be pretty cool.
Defensive back, I think this is the juicy one. I think this is what everyone
is looking forward to. There is a couple of good pickups that I would think
can be good for the 49ers. I would say Kyle Fuller, Trumaine Johnson and Malcolm Butler.
Malcolm Butler is probably the biggest wild card of them all
because I think we all know what happened in Super Bowl this year against
the Philadelphia Eagles for the Patriots. They didn't play him at all for whatever
reason and I don't know if he would have made the biggest difference of winning
the Super Bowl, but I think he would have made a difference some way, shape or form.
He didn't play at all. So we'll never know what happens. I think Malcolm Butler
can be a really good pickup for the 49ers for the right price. I think he's
going to be having some motivation to play some football and rub it to Bill
Belichick on why he didn't play him in the Super Bowl. I think there's a little
outage right there. I think that can help Malcolm Butler's case for the 49ers
to sign him. That motivation right there for not playing the Super Bowl at all
for whatever reason. I think that can really, really, really help Malcolm Butler
and actually perform well for the 49ers. So I would be down to getting
Malcolm Butler as well for the right price as always. Yes, I always got to
emphasize that. So it's going to be hard, but I think he's a pretty damn good corner
and even after the Super Bowl hero play that he made against the Seattle
Seahawks of all teams, he had a pretty damn good two seasons as a Patriot as well.
He had an All-Pro appearance. He had Pro Bowl appearances as well. He wasn't a one-hit wonder
after that Super Bowl hero play and I think he's
a pretty damn good corner. I would be down to get him. Trumaine Johnson, interesting
case as well. Los Angeles Rams. That would be really helpful to get insight on the
Rams defense. Maybe Wade Phillips can make some changes, but I think Trumaine
Johnson, I think that would be a really good pickup as well and the Rams paid
him a lot of money for the past couple of years now to keep Trumaine Johnson.
So there's some value in him. As always, always got stressed this, right price, I
think he'd be a really good fit for the 49ers and Kyle Fuller for the Chicago
Bears, I think he was a pretty damn good corner for what he had with the Chicago
Bears because they were not a good team. He worked under Vic Fangio. So that's a
really good thing to do because Vic Fangio is a pretty damn [good] defense coordinator.
I think we all remember him from a couple of years ago with the Jim Harbaugh era.
I think Kyle Fuller can be a good pickup as well. So yeah. That's going to be
pretty much it you guys. I just want to make this video a little bit short for
the most part. I'd be interested mostly in the cornerbacks that I think that
would be the most interesting pickups in my opinion. Linebacker, uh, it depends and
defensive lineman, uh, iffy at best. So yeah, just please let me know what you guys
think about the free agents and who should we get and did I miss anyone that
we should getting. If you guys like this please "Like," SUBSCRIBE, do whatever you ever you
want with this and I'll be catching you guys up another time. So I hope you guys
have a nice day, nice weekend, nice whatever and I'll be catching you guys
up later. Bye guys. Love y'all. See y'all later!
