Donte Whitner thinks Solomon Thomas isn’t a scheme fit for 49ers One of the more disappointing players for the San Francisco 49ers has been defensive lineman Solomon Thomas. Drafted with the third overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-arik-armstead-jersey , Thomas has been solid at stopping the run but sub-par in his pass-rushing abilities. Thomas is by no means a bust, but he’s definitely not reached the high expectations set for a third overall pick. Former 49ers safety Donte Whitner was on KNBR’s Gary & Larry Podcast and had his own assessment to Thomas’ struggles—it’s not a schematic fit: The 49ers have been plugging Thomas all over the place it seems like and none of it has yielded anything more than good run stops. The 49ers experimented with putting him on the edge on run downs and kicking him inside on pass-rush downs (which was the plan for his senior year at Stanford until he declared for the 2017 NFL Draft). Thomas has had a difficulty getting to the quarterback, and it feels like something is off. On Friday, defensive coordinator Robert Saleh was asked for his evaluation of Thomas at this point. Specifically, he was asked what went into deciding where he played along the line given some of his success inside.There’s still a lot of football to play until 2018 ends and the 49ers can take a look at themselves schematically, but until then Fred Warner Jersey White , I’ll just leave this here: This one has been a hot debate with pundits.

New,49commentsThis one has been a hot debate with pundits. What do you think? PDTShareTweetShareShareDoes Kyle Shanahan still need an offensive coordinator? Last week, an announcement came out from the New England Patriots that Bill Belichick would be calling the defensive plays in 2019. It’s still moot on if they will hire a “defensive coordinator” or if Belichick will be the DC himself. In any case, Hoodie is calling the plays in New England. The Patriots just won a Super Bowl, so they can pretty much do whatever the hell they want. When the 49ers drafted a punter in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, it was easy to point out the Patriots did the same thing in the fifth Womens Aaron Burbridge Jersey , except the 49ers aren’t exactly where the Patriots are. Just calling plays isn’t the job title in and of itself, but brings up the narrative that Kyle Shanahan needs to hire an offensive coordinator. First of all, the idea in and of itself wouldn’t make much sense. Why take the brightest offensive mind in football and shelf it for someone else’s philosophy? Of courseif Shanahan promoted an offensive coordinator from within, just like Andy Reid does and Bill Walsh did. It’d be apparent Kyle Shanahan was running the offense anyways. The Belichick-play-calling narrative doesn’t make me point to the Patriots and say, “But the Patriots are doing it,” it instead lets me make a remark Womens Trent Taylor Jersey , “Yeah, other teams have done it,” and the Patriots join the list. There’s been some criticism to Shanahan for biting of a bit more than he can chew being a head coach and offensive coordinator. For a time, I thought Rich Scangarello would fill that role after a year or two under Shanahan’s tutelage. It was similar to a chef opening up a restaurant. Before he hires his “head chef” he wants everyone to know how his recipes are done and picks the best line cook to take over his menu. The owner/chef is still calling the shots, but he has a chef that knows every way he wants his food prepared. Same thing with Shanahan, he would have someone who knows every reason and way he wants his plays called/executed. Two years later and Scangarello is an offensive coordinator Jimmie Ward Jersey , but with the Denver Broncos. When Scangarello left, who could get that promotion is a mystery. There’s options, sure, but nothing screaming as a possible offensive coordinator in a year. This could change after 2019, but Shanahan is going to be his own offensive coordinator for the foreseeable future. Given what you’ve seen with the 49ers in the past and going forward do you think this is a wise decision or should he promote someone to offensive coordinator in a 1A type role? Or are you convinced Shanahan’s offense is terrible and he should make an external hire (though why someone would think that is a bit perplexing).
