49ers have 21 new players and want “extreme physicality” on defense

[BeefJurky]

Fisher's strategy was to keep the first pick in the draft away from the Niners. Good thing too. Those losses prevent them from getting Garret and helped to show Fisher to the exit.

I love this. Thanks Fish!

Extreme physicality....so they will take over from the Rams with the most personal foul penalties next year? ok.

Totally....
Matt Barkley just screams "extreme physicality"

Too bad Brian Bosworth and Robert Gallery aren't in this draft to push a few real prospects our way in round 2

Hell Dieter, throw in Todd Marinovich while yer at it.

When the focus gets too heavy on physicality you have guys focus on (and get atta boys) for big hits.....this also means missed tackles and assignments.
Sounds like a catch phrase to me.
But, catch phrase aside, the players have to understand the scheme, know their responsibility and execute.
Hopefully the DC can't coach and players don't have the skill.
Extreme suckability.

Not to mention getting really beat up in camp and increasing the possibility of injuries.

You have to build a defense up slowly to that type of game.

You can't just say "extreme physicality" and think that has any chance of working.

First you have to teach them solid defense and then you add the extreme physicality.

Extreme suckability.

This is a more likely scenario for what they will end up with.

The 49ers are already a bottom 5 team.
If this is their mentality I think they still don't get it.
JMO.

The last two drafts they selected & used both first round picks 2015 & 2016 on prototype 34 DE's. Arick Armstead 6-7 295 & Deforest Buckner 6-7 300. I have no ideal if they will both be moved inside or left outside?

, Are they going to a 4-3 defense? If so, yeah, those DEs don't really fit do they? LOL

I think Armstead could play anywhere along the LOS, and will be an excellent DE. Buckner is a straight DT, but could also imagine he could get on the edge and cause some problems.

I don't think it's that big of a switch if coached correctly. I also hear they may draft Solomon Thomas...who's also a very good defensive lineman...and can play anywhere on the line.

I certainly hope this is the case.
