I must admit I had a warm and fuzzy feeling when I thought of our defensive secondary during the off season. While I was not convinced Jaquiski Tartt was a better strong safety than Eric Reid Kyle Juszczyk Jersey , I was pretty excited about the acquisition of Richard Sherman. The idea of him joining Ahkello Witherspoon and Adrian Colbert gave me the crazy idea that we were going to have a pretty solid secondary. I know both Witherspoon and Colbert have been banged up but I must admit I am pretty disappointed in them so far this season. Now we are getting articles about the possibility of them being replaced by guys like Greg Mabin and D J Reed. While I like both Reed and Mabin, I was hoping Witherspoon and Colbert could be part of something special. Perhaps they still can but unfortunately they just don’t look like the same players we saw at the end of last season.Maybe we blame it on the coaching? While I am not as quick as some to start passing around the blame, perhaps there are some things that Robert Saleh and Jeff Hafley could do to help make them more effective? Anyone have any ideas on this?Now onto the hot links:Garoppolo surgery ‘was a good repair, they’re very optimistic’Cam Inman49ers linebacking corps of the future emergingBrad AlmquistQuestions in the secondary abound ahead of Cardinals gameChris BidermanMike McGlinchey expects to play vs. CardinalsKyle MadsonJohn Lynch says Joe Staley will try to practice on FridayDavid BonillaRichard Sherman, Mike McGlinchey, and Weston Richburg return to practiceDavid BonillaWhy George Kittle and C.J.

PDTShareTweetShareShareNFC West ranks fourth in NFL.com’s divisional power rankingsWe’re in mid June and it’s far too early to make power rankings for NFL divisions, but we’re going to go ahead and look at some anyways. NFL.com’s Gregg Rosenthal put together divisional power rankings and has the San Francisco 49ers’ division, the NFC West, at fourth. Keep in mind this is straight power rankings. Nothing ranked by quarterback or anything like that. This is the teams, the rosters, and the rankings. Here’s what Rosenthal says about the ranking: I really want to argue against this. In first place is the NFC North, followed by the AFC North Dee Ford Jersey , and NFC South. I want to argue this ranking, but it also seems somewhat adequate. The NFC North has Aaron Rodgers, Khalil Mack, and a solid Minnesota Vikings roster. The AFC North has the Ravens, Ben Roethlisberger, and a revamped Cleveland Browns. I could put the NFC West above the NFC South. The NFC South has the Saints which we all know as a powerhouse, but the Falcons are hot/cold Kwon Alexander Jersey , the Buccaneers have roster issues, and the Panthers are good depending on the year and Cam Newton’s health. The problem with putting the NFC West at third is that it’s unproven with the 49ers and the Cardinals. The Seahawks were in the playoffs last year, but if they can do that magic again is yet to be determined in 2019.The Rams beat the Saints in the 2019 playoffs, but they might take a slight step back in terms of “power”. Still, it’s hard to argue with where the NFC West is in all of this. I’ll turn it over to you. What is your NFL Divisional power rankings and do you think the NFC West should be fourth?
