    I trust Polians analysis, however, I do question his take on our talent.  He said we were bottom third in talent.  Now, I define talent as your ceiling even before you hit it.  For example,  Turay has talent but just hasn’t realized it yet.  All of our talent is young.  Is Polian saying that if our young guys develop this year,  then our talent level increases or is he saying we are bottom third regardless and just need another draft or 2?

    Probably a combination of both.  I look forward to next year.  I think back to what Dungy said back as coach “The biggest development in a players career is going from year one to year two.”

    Well.....

     

    Ray Guy is the best punter in history and he’s not even in the Hall, first ballot or otherwise...   not THAT is a shame...

     

    So Adam going in on the first ballot is more likely that he won’t than he will...

     

    Also...   with all this love for Adam flowing...   I wonder what the reaction will be if he goes in as a Patriot and not a Colt.   Two of his game winning kicks gave New England Super Bowl titles...

     

    Just saying...

     

    Different tha baseball, NFL Hall of Fame players are not assigned to a team upon entry.  Very doubtful he'll go in on first ballot.  Morten Anderson who is the NFL all time leading scorer got in on his fifth attempt.

  3. I like the Frank Reich hire and I wonder who Ballard would have targeted as a coach if he was allowed to cut ties with Pagano last year.  I think Grigson was to busy trying prove he was smartest guy in the room.  Drafting projects in early rounds that should have been used on players who have shown the skill level of a starter.  He should have drafted projects in later rounds to give them time to develope.

  4. Let’s temper our excitement a little.  His success was against the Niners 3rd string.  He also got a roughing the passer keeping a Niners scoring drive alive.  Hopefully he can keep it but let’s keep it in perspective.

    After Ballard cut Banner he said that if you're going to preach competition, you have to live it.  

     

    Three weeks into preseason is far to early to say Hines should be cut, but four weeks isn't?  I'm certainly not convinced he makes it.  

     

    We are being told Frank hasn’t opened the playbook yet and won’t until the regular season.  Hines is expected to benefit most when that happens.  So you want hamper the team before the season starts.  From what I have seen in preseason Hines has been used very little in the passing offense.  As Venturi said during the Niners game we having running the ball against 8 men in the box.  Let’s give the guy a chance a see what happens.

    I saw that he made some catches it is just that rogers got targeted on the deep throw.

    Good to hear,  I’m not expecting a pro bowl performance on first day of padded practice.  Just never saw his name mentioned yesterday.

    Yes. Lots of dink and dunk today in practice. Gonna be quick passes all season. Reich emphasized getting the ball out 

    Thanks for both practice updates and the answer to my question.  Getting excited for this season to get started.

  8. I see simularities to how Bill Polian ran the team.  He won’t spend big on free agents.  I like his drafting so far, based on only this years draft he has made a considerable effort to improve the O-line.  Polian was good at finding middle round gems at O-line the Howard Mudd could coach up.  The question becomes if we become a top tier team can he maintain the quality with picks at the back end of the draft.
