The only way the owners get more games is to give the players more % in the split that will sky rocket the cap, and if they do that QB cap then all problems solved.

Watkins is either being cut or singing a new deal that lowers his cap number to what his dead money number would be, no way around that.

Maybe they get the ultimate bailout in this new CBA. Separate salary cap for quarterbacks. Then they can keep Sammy and Jones. Sammy will need to take a paycut regardless. His production does not justify $15-20M in salary.

Anyone who thinks that clearly doesn't watch games. Juice is basically a TE and will burn you deep (caught a 50 yarder against y'all last year). Coleman was a receiving back in ATL but we haven't used him much in that role this year although we all thought that was why we signed him.

I get that there will be a lot of teams with space that SUCK and it's hard to talk yourself into playing for them. But we're not talking about good players who have a choice to take a little less to play for KC. We're talking about guys who very clearly deserve to be among the highest paid guys in the league at their respective positions. In a game where you really only get one massive contract most of the time and maybe 4-5 years of peak earning potential.

At some point even a 'discount' yields more than we can reasonably afford.

well, there are always extensions, converting cap numbers into 'signing bonuses', etc.

Plus guys like Kelce, Fisher, etc. are on the wrong side of 30; they're likely to do team friendly deals at that point.

It's possible.

Mecca 01-31-2020 11:00 AM

For the record it's not like Sammy Watkins needs the money......he's 26 years old and he's at the end of his 6th season....

He has pocketed 53,935,603 that is a lot of money for a guy that's never really been a true 1.

It's arguable, but there's no one in the national media saying Jones + Clark are playing as well as anyone on the SF defensive line.

and they are.

I'd add Pennel and Suggs in there too and say that no front four has played better than them the last 8 games.

Maybe it's because we rotate so much?

But that's just depth, baby. It's a good thing.

Better way to put it is that’s a ton of money for a guy who is injured all the time.

No they aren't.

Because EVERYONE gets the same cap. Again - a skyrocketing cap will simply mean that Jones can get $30 million on the market instead of $20 million.

A premier DT is still going to get a massive chunk of the cap% and that's going to apply to any team that's looking to retain his services. Now it might ultimately make Clark's number a little more palatable, but recognize how few guys we have truly locked in for 2022.

Mahomes is going to sign a deal commensurate w/ whatever the new CBA allows and he'll be the top dog. Hill will have one more season w/ a cap figure of $20.5 million. Clark will be at $24.7 million.

That's it, fellas. That's all the cost certainty we have for those years. Literally every other new deal we have on the books then will be signed w/ an eye on the 'new world' cap figures. NFL agents aren't going to just say "oh sure, the cap took a 25% jump but we're still gonna ask for small raises over what guys got under the LAST CBA..."

The market will shift accordingly.

The new CBA won't save us because virtually every key player on this team will be singed to a deal that takes the new CBA into consideration and the market that the new CBA will create.

The Seahawks have ungodly amounts of cap room. That's scary

Mecca 01-31-2020 11:05 AM

That's a solid point, I mean if we do lose Jones I'm confident it will be a franchise and trade and not just him walking away though.

Sammy is far more important to this offense than many (most?) Planeteers would apparently like to admit.

Although he may not make a lot of "splash" plays, people seem to forget that splash plays are often created due to an accumulation of sprinkles elsewhere on the field.

Sammy Sprinkles has value.

As for Mahomes' deal, it seems to me that Clark's comments were transparent. Veach said from day 1 that they had a long term plan to handle Mahomes' contract and it wasn't going to be a surprise. Clark's 12-15 month timeline is telling. He's on the finance committee and I believe he's forecasting that the CBA negotiations are going to have a significant effect on Mahomes' contract and related timing.

I also believe that Mahomes will not try to break the bank on the Chiefs. Based on everything he's ever said (publicly), I get the strong impression that he would rather win for 10mm less than lose for 10mm more.

Agreed.

If he won't take a pay cut he needs to be let go. He's simply not worth the money he is being paid.

Jusczyk had 24 targets this season and 20 catches in 12 games. Right in line with his totals across his prior 2 seasons in San Francisco.

107 targets in 42 career games as a 49er. That's literally 2.5 targets a game.

What you need is the separate cap for QB’s. If they do that, KC is in a great spot.

Don't need to use him a lot to use him effectively, though.

I worry a bit about a play-fake where he looks to be helping on that edge and then releases about 8 yards downfield on 3rd and 5 for an easy pitch/catch on a boot from Grapes.

You do that on 3rd down from our 40 and you've effectively created a scoring opportunity with zero risk and a damn high likelihood of success.

Do it on 1st and goal from the 6 and you've created a TD.

He can make a substantial impact on 2-3 targets if he moves the chains a few times in the process.

That has nothing to do with whether or not we CAN exploit the same weakness in your D. All of our backs are in the Hybrid WR/RB mold, even our fullback. Shanahan specifically targets those types of players, hence drafting Deebo Samuel and Jalen Hurd, and using Ross Dwelley (a TE) at fullback. Coleman was used in exactly that hybrid role under Kyle in ATL.

Agreed, just look at the AFC Pro Bowl QB's this year without Mahomes.

Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson and Ryan Tannehill.

One is a glorified RB, one is coached/GM'd by Bill O'Brien and the other is Ryan Tannehill (enough said).

The Chiefs' QB advantage in the AFC will be vastly superior to the rest of the conference for the foreseeable future.

Yeah, no one is ignoring Jusczyk. The Chargers RBs are bigger receiving threats that get more targets. That doesn't make the Niners easier to defend though.

It's the one flaw I've seen in their run design, Mr. DJ's left nut. Please allow me to do you the honor of explaining what I've seen.

They do the same thing with their fullback, TE, and (upon occasion) motion receivers. Clearly, the idea is to chip and/or fake a block then get open as you have pointed out.

The answer is to attack and knock that faux blocker on his ass within 1 yard of the LOS. If it's a run, you've just taken away 2 gaps and cleared the way for the cavalry. If it's a pass, you've just taken away what may very well be their primary read.

Yep, the Niners could choose to attack by throwing a lot to RBs and their FB. It's a real possibility, but it's not something they've done a TON of this year. Certainly not as much as the Chargers have done, which was the whole point of my original post.

I was thinking the same thing w/r/t Kittle.

I know the idea is to present run, get a block then release into the pattern. But if the TE or RB initiates the contact, the defender (be it Suggs, Sorensen, Wilson - whoever) can essentially mug the guy and call it 'hand-fighting' because he's representing block.

Now that doesn't mean the ****ing zebras won't throw the flag anyway - but they shouldn't. If a 9er TE or RB puts his hands on a defender, knowing full well that the idea is to get hands into the chest, that defender should keep his hands inside his pads and in the process lock onto that damn guys wrists and just yank his ass towards the pile. If it's a run, you've maintained the edge. If it's a pass, you've wrecked his route. By keeping your hands inside your pads, you're unlikely to get called for defensive holding.

Hand technique will be HUGE for both sides on those plays. Can the 49ers effectively sell a 'block' before going into the pattern and can the Chiefs lock them up long enough to blow those boots up.

Agree 100%, sir FAX.

If this were Sutton's D i'd be concerned. But Spags has shown that he'll adjust and do what it takes to make sure the opposing offense doesn't beat you the way they WANT to beat you.

So not worried.

It's the result of serenity. Having Mahomes has me so damn confident that we'll be here like 2/3 of the time until I'm in my 50s, that I can just kinda take these as they come right now.

So I've been able to look at a lot of this stuff almost dispassionately. It's made it even more satisfying to keep coming to the conclusion that we're gonna win this game.

Ain't gotta be a homer to think the Chiefs are a better team. Shit, I'm of the mind you can remove QBs from the equation altogether and the Chiefs are STILL arguably better.

But again - I'm just fairly chill about all of this at this point. There's some stuff the 9ers do really well. There's some stuff the Chiefs do really well. Lots of that shit's gonna cancel out and in the end execution will likely prevail.

Rex Ryan said he's "leaning" towards the 49ers because he is a defensive guy.

That's mostly the pattern of people picking the 49ers, they are guys with defensive/running back backgrounds who are picking with their hearts (due to their fondness for how the 49ers have won in the playoffs), rather than with their heads.

Meanwhile Chris Simms and Kyle Shanahan have tattoos of each other, so their relationship seems to be in a TMI-category.

So I've been able to look at a lot of this stuff almost dispassionately. It's made it even more satisfying to keep coming to the conclusion that we're gonna win this game.

Ain't gotta be a homer to think the Chiefs are a better team. Shit, I'm of the mind you can remove QBs from the equation altogether and the Chiefs are STILL arguably better.

But again - I'm just fairly chill about all of this at this point. There's some stuff the 9ers do really well. There's some stuff the Chiefs do really well. Lots of that shit's gonna cancel out and in the end execution will likely prevail.

Just gotta have this team play mistake free and we got this. No Texans first quarter bullshit.

Sammy Sprinkles has value.

As for Mahomes' deal, it seems to me that Clark's comments were transparent. Veach said from day 1 that they had a long term plan to handle Mahomes' contract and it wasn't going to be a surprise. Clark's 12-15 month timeline is telling. He's on the finance committee and I believe he's forecasting that the CBA negotiations are going to have a significant effect on Mahomes' contract and related timing.

I also believe that Mahomes will not try to break the bank on the Chiefs. Based on everything he's ever said (publicly), I get the strong impression that he would rather win for 10mm less than lose for 10mm more.

I don't care, but it is interesting to see the trends in how the national media is picking the game.

Chiefs are destined to win this game and Mahomes is destined to be the youngest winning QB in a Superbowl. I feel it and I think the players do too.

I understand, but I don't know why they would say that, Mr. Mecca.

Although Mahomes has been getting a lot of love this week in Miami, the teevee peeps have been talking up the Niners a lot.

Yet, as we know, none of it means a damn thing in the end. Somebody is actually playing in the game ... and it isn't them.

The most interesting storyline for me has been the "Defense Wins Championships" plot. If one accepts that dogma, the Niners are in pretty good shape. (Mainly because the teevee peeps simply use season-long stat compilations that don't account for improvement during the year.)

However, I believe that "Defense Wins Championships" yarn was concocted long before the NFL made the rule changes that favored offense.

And, of course, Mahomes wasn't invented yet.

Chris Simms and Kyle Shanahan are close friends. Kyle used to babysit CMC.

Frankly I think a lot of guys (i.e. Harrison) want Lynch to win to validate the movement from the broadcast booth to the front office.

Of course it seems many of their fans expect to win by 20-30 points. So they view it as “no respect” when Vegas has the game as a toss-up.

Rodney Harrison
Chris Simms
Derrick Henry
Christian McCaffrey
Von Miller
Booger

Chiefs
Mike Florio
Marcus Spears

And the coverage of the pregame shows have been 75% 9ers.

We always get hosed.

Burleson, Shrager, and Kyle what's his **** all picked the Chiefs.

Kay Adams picked the 9'ers.

The least shocking news of the day as far as Adams goes.

I can’t blame anyone for picking either team though, it’s a great matchup.

These are interesting:

Receiving Yards Vegas Odds

Travis Kelce: 86+ (+108)

Tyreek Hill: 86+ (+108)

Sammy Watkins: 59+ yards (+108)

Damien Williams: 41+ yards (-112)

I thought for sure Burleson would go San Fran and Kay would pick the Chiefs since she's sort of a local.

Kman34 01-31-2020 12:12 PM

Listening to the radio there was some good points brought up..
The GB v 49er game boiled down to Rogers not taking care of the ball and giving the 9ers a short field... the GB defense giving a long TD run on 3rd down an 8... basically handing SF 17 points out of their 27 in the first half..
I Don’t see Mahomes turning the ball over and the defense playing as bad as GBs...

35-17 Chiefs..

She has picked against them a lot the last couple years.

Chris Meck 01-31-2020 12:14 PM

If The Chiefs don't beat themselves, they'll win this game.

The 49'ers need to not beat themselves, and for the Chiefs to beat themselves.

That's just how I see it.

I don't think their defense matches up well. I think our defense matches up much better than anyone's giving them credit for.

Mecca 01-31-2020 12:14 PM

LaDainain Tomlinson picked the Chiefs......actually sounded pretty intelligent saying Chris Jones can penetrate whenever he wants to and you destroy zone runs with penetration.

The center was guilty of a bad snap for one of the Green Bay turnovers. Hopefully the KC center does not choke on the big stage. He had one pretty bad snap against the Titans and KC was fortunate it did not cost them.

Was watching Jt O Suillvan (ex QB) break down film of that game, and he put the blame on Rodgers for that fumbled snap. He also called him out for not going all out for the ball like Newton did in the Super Bowl. I agree with him on this.

Go to about 9:45 of this and he breaks it down. You can see on the replay that the center puts the ball in Rodgers hand perfectly but he just fumbles it for some reason.

This is the real start to the Mahomes decade...and cement him as an international superstar.

A few timely holding calls will put the 49ers behind the sticks...KC should have the scheme in place to force Jimmy Grape-licker to test the outside.

But the Mostert TD running 3rd and 8 was a trap play so lol

Kyle runs a lot of trap and gap scheme runs for just that reason. That's the big difference between what we ran last year (which the Broncos, Packers, Vikings etc also run) and what we do this year.

I rewatched as much of that Packers/9ers game as i could last night.

Not. Worried. At. All.

The Packers drove on that D just fine that game. It was the un-forced turnovers that ****ed them and that god-awful run D.

I know all these 9er fan bois are all excited and have that game fresh in their minds but i watched that shit thinking:

1. TROLOLOLOL our O-line is sooo much better than that trash group GB has

2. The Rodgers fumble and piss-ass throw completely took his team out of the game. That interception was just a lazy, bad throw. Wasn't even forced.

3. The Packers D-line ****ing sucks.

The QB school is great. I can only think of one other guy who breaks down film with that level of detail:

He definitely gave up on that play. I don’t get the feeling he gives a damn these days. Honestly, did he ever really give a damn? Even in his prime he seemed to act like he wanted to do something other than play football.

Packers Dline is basically what the Chiefs were last year. Amazing pass rushing unit, but really poor at defending the run. Niners exposed their biggest weakness two games in row.

Totally agree with everything you said. Preston Smith got bullied in this game, it was an embarrassing performance from him. Zadarius was good but he was literally the only guy with a pulse on that Green Day D for most of the day. Their DBs were also taking craptastic angles at the second level which turned several first down runs into massive chunks.

Oh, and Green Bay has a first year head coach who got bodied by Shanarat. We have a HOF coach who lost his one Super Bowl chance to prime Belichick/Brady.

We got this.

Ya, and everyone keeps sucking him off anyway. Those piss poor interceptions? Nah, not Aaron’s fault. His receiver is just a dummy who can’t run routes!

That seam ball pick was disastrous, and barely anyone called him out for it (should also note that the play design was very questionable and the video I posted breaks that down too).
