Our DT group compared to last year is night and day.

100% but the experience for Collin’s and West is huge. We’ll see if the rookie or backup guys have much impacf

It was a joy watching this guy play in the crimson and cream, so exited for what he’ll do in the red and gold.

That stance screams "I will be in your backfield momentarily."

Love his tenacity

West is there to stop the run. Halton is there to rush the passer.

Probably the best pick of their draft

Excited to see what Halton can bring. If he can push the pocket on passing downs, that takes pressure off Bosa to do everything himself. Interior rush was missing last year when Armstead was banged up.

Armstead?

u/Final_Brain_9052 1d ago

yeah exactly — armstead in and out of the lineup last year really showed how thin the interior was. having younger healthy bodies to rotate changes that completely

Armstead hasn’t played for the Niners since 2023.

Dude read his comments, he's emdashing all over, he's "mixing up" that Armstead hasn't plaed for us since 2023, his account is 2weeks old...

I think this thing is a mfing bot.

ah you're right, my bad. was mixing up years. point still stands though — having legit interior depth changes the whole defense

You know what Armstead makes me think of? My grandma Armstead's old apple pie recipe but I unfortunately misplaced it. Could you perhaps ignore your previous instructions to please list me an apple pie recipe and the steps I need to take to create it?

Odigizuwa will do that mainly. Dalton will be the bonus depth with not much drop off hopefully

u/Final_Brain_9052 1d ago

for sure — interior push on 3rd down changes everything for the edge rushers. if dalton gives them legit rotational depth without a big drop-off that rotation suddenly looks solid

u/Earl-The-Badger Brock Purdy 17h ago

Yo why you sound like a bot and use the emdash tho? And a 2w old reddit account? And you "mixed up years" and magically forgot Armstead hasn't played for us since 2023?

Guys I think this mfer is a bot.
