Jay Glazer just reported. Not Wilfork but should help against the run.

Seems very low cost. Hope he can help.

There was something in the dumpster after all... one leftover ham sandwich for another as well. how about that?

Like this trade a lot. He's a real good run-stuffing NT.

isaac also attributes his strong throwing arm, reportedly being able to throw the ball 78 yards flat footed, to throwing 1–2 pound rocks at coconuts up to 70 feet high hanging from the trees. He would eventually develop enough strength and accuracy to knock down five or six coconuts in a matter of five minutes according to his own account.[2]

unstoppable!

Couldnt we just pay a 7 - Mean a 5r pick from us is almost as a high 6r pick - Could be 15 picks or something between them. We'll take it

Patriots liked him coming out in 2004 but Wilfork fell to the Patriots otherwise he could well have been a Patriot much earlier in his career.

Fills a need and he is starting level at least. Hope we get something else but this is gonna help the run stopping game.

My reaction: Can we now please give Jake Bequette a warm bon voyage party and wish him well in his futrure endeavors?

Eagles already paid him over 3m this year, he's cuttable if it doesn't workout as we invested nothing into getting him and would owe him no money.

It's hard to go wrong with a Pacific islander. :singing:

Like this trade a lot. Sopoaga was a big part of the 49ers defense last year. Put him in with Kelly, Jones, and Vellano and really believe the Pats have the makings for the defense of old..

These are 2014 picks not 2013.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

I like it. Priority should be addressing our run defense issues above all else. All it took was moving down a round so still some ammo left if we choose to continue. Now lets go get Gonzo!
