Kaepernik assesses the situation:
“It’s tough. He’s a good friend to a lot of people on this team,” Kaepernick said. “No one around him ever thought bad of him. He was always a good person to everyone around here, so hopefully it’s just a misunderstanding.”

“…More to the point, though, it is an example that the 49ers have had enough of not only McDonald but of the season in its totality, one which ended Sunday with a 17-7 loss at Seattle. Between the stadium’s shortcomings, the ongoing jousts with head coach Jim Harbaugh, York’s ill-advised postgame tweet after the first Seattle loss the McDonald issues, the suspension of linebacker Aldon Smith and the on-field struggles that turned a Super Bowl contender into a hard-to-watch also-ran, York has seemingly determined that his patience has been exhausted.This could signal the beginning of a full-on restructuring/rebuilding of not only the coaching staff, which would have been expected, but on the organization’s general rules of operation. …”
…and is Barrett Jones a starter or
a bust ?w

I’m definitely starting to get it back; starting to get close to feeling like I was.”
When the regular season ends in 12 days, Jones will return to his hometown in Memphis and attack the offseason with his personal trainer.
“Hopefully I can have that same kind of offseason and training camp next year where I can be noticed as a player that’s really improved,” he said. “Hopefully that’s the case, and hopefully I can start next year. That’s my goal.
“This is obviously a huge offseason for me. This is a big kind of defining moment. So I’m gonna just really tear it up this offseason. Work extremely hard. And just kinda make it a goal to just get better in every area. Get stronger. Get faster. Get my body back to where it needs to be.”
Exactly where that potential starting position is on the offensive line remains a mystery. Remember, Jones started two years at right guard, one year at left tackle, and one year at center at Alabama….

========================So the Oline next year is..what?
LT – Greg Robinson
G – ?
C – ?
G – R Saffold
RT – ?I dunno if Barksdale is coming back
or if they should even want him back.
He hasn’t been all that impressive
in the second half of the year.Who are the Free Agents this year
on the OLine?

KC 34-7Ariz 31-14
SanD 27-24

a lot of mistakes.(course, the refs did steal the Dallas game)

Is it possible the Rams can get a favorable schedule next year? The final game always in Seattle is getting old too. Time for some good breaks to go this teams way.wv wrote:
Well, the last decade sucked alright.But it does appear we are on the cusp of some good years. Looks like they are finally at a place where one ‘good’ offseason could fill all the holes.

vI agree that the team is reaching a higher level. Even with the last game. I mean people are bitterly disappointed that they did not defeat the team with the best record in football, which means they EXPECTED the Rams to beat the team with the best record in football. That tells me that the expectations bar has been raised…and rightly so.
We are moving from the era where people complain that they don’t have a winning record, to the era where they complain they can’t win playoff games, and maybe even the era where people complain that they can’t win back to back superbowls.
In terms of the schedule?
I think they can do this new schedule.
Home: Arizona, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay
Away: Arizona, San Francisco, Seattle, Green Bay, Minnesota, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Washington
If they are going to be as good as we expect, then:
* they ought to win the games they ought to win (Chicago and Tampa at home, Minn. and Washington on the road)
* they ought to sweep at least one division opponent. I mean they’ve done it before! they were 4-1-1 against the division in 2012. They beat Seattle and SF once each THIS year, and this year was the crazy up and down year.
* they ought to beat some division leaders or at least division contenders. Heck they beat Denver in 2014, and New Orleans and Indy in 2013. In 2015, that includes Detroit, Cleveland, Baltimore, and the Bengals.
The one REALLY tough game they face IMO is Green Bay in Green Bay.
I agree with all that.
I dont have any doubt
Snisher, GW and BS can build a playoff team.
The next two years will bring playoff games.Not sure they can win a Ring, though.
But playoffs? — sure.w
v…“We got outplayed,
we got outcoached,
and we just put a bad display out there,”
a dejected Cook said after the game…Prettymuch sums it up.
I am very impressed with what
Arizona has done the last two weeks
against KC and the Rams.I dont think they can beat Green Bay,
but i think they can beat any other
team in the NFC.I’m startin to think Arians might
be the Belichick of the NFC.
Its not just the Rams who are
“a quarterback away.”w
