Yeah.. This guy is impressive. This is the upsaide to Shanahan drafting and bringing in hard workers and guys who want to compete and be in the NFL for more then just a paycheck

This season hasn't even started and this makes me excited for next season, moving in the right direction. HTTR

We could sign this guy as depth

My take was more of a "glass is half full" assessment on the outcome of the game.

Yes a promising young player was lost for the season....but we looked really good against a very strong team.

An important battle was won even though a good man fell.

ok I'll buy that, maybe it's just the way you said you we're "thrilled" that made me read a little too much into it.

Shanahan on Jarvis Jenkins: ‘You cannot replace a player like that’ - The Insider - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/post/shanahan-on-jarvis-jenkins-you-cannot-replace-a-player-like-that/2011/08/27/gIQA8peviJ_blog.html#pagebreak)

The 49ers have rookie DeMarcus Dobbs DE who signed as FA out of Georgia and looks great. If the 49ers cut him and plan on bringing him to the PS, the Redskins should snap him up. This kid has looked great during the pre-season and just might make the team.

If we get a guy over 30, it should be Phillip Daniels.

Seeing that your from CA, what about the Chargers? Any good players that would be good 3-4 DE's?

Haven't seen them play, no idea.

Reading about ACL tears - could affect his productivity on the field going forward. What bad luck.

Most NFL Players Return To Competition After ACL Injury, But At A Reduced Performance Level (http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/57859.php)

...For those players who returned to NFL action following an ACL injury, performance fell by one-third, the researchers found. Power rating per game played decreased from 9.9 pre-injury to 6.5 post-injury.

Hope he comes back and plays like he did before.
