It would seem to me that those two plays would require more in depth review of the year to see if Goldson was playing to scheme or if he was freelancing to try and earn himself a bigger contract.
From what I saw, it was more the latter than the former. And I did watch 3 other 49er games this year.
Exactly. When exactly did he become a "top 5 FS"? Many people thought he was the best available in free agency last year. Maybe he was, but that has more to do with the rest of the free agency class than anything else. He is a starting caliber safety, nothing more.
Don't get me wrong, we could have used a starting caliber safety last year, but not at any figure.
Anyone who doesn't think Dashon Goldson is a good SAFETY (not even just FS, he can make plays in the box too but obv. Whitner is a bit better there) has their head up their ass with no TV inside.
Best in the NFL right now are Reed, Polamalu, Goldson, Eric Berry (OK, he was hurt last year but it's obvious this kids a beast), and Reggie Nelson. Reed and Polamalu are obviously on their way out so next men up are Jairus Byrd, Earl Thomas, and Morgan Burnett.
MerrilHoge'stieknot said:This year. This year he became easily a top 5 FS. His progression every year has been obvious to anyone familiar with the 49ers like I am. He is one of the best players on the 49ers defense on every play. Every play he brings it. Yet somehow he remains under the radar. How often do young, instinctual, hard hitting, and well rounded ball hawks hit the market? Not often.
1) Goldson is getting tagged.
Carlos Rodgers is getting tagged.
Nope. All reports say that the 49ers prefer to tag Goldson for $6.2M rather than Rogers for $10.6M.
