I don't know why we haven't cut Vickers already. Thought it was a good signng at the time, but last year looked like he can't play anymore.

The things we have to go through to sign mediocre journeyman players.
deon anderson in 2007, shaun chappas in 2011, Chris gronkowski UDFA 2010,
fiammetta, vickers...and the countless tight ends he has tried to find who could play the move f position.
btw clarence says vickers is not going to get cut.
btw on a side note.
If vickers is cut, how many resources has garret spent trying to find a fullback/tight end who can block?
seriously its about 4 draft picks and 3 free agents and we are going to have to do it again this april?
and this is the guy people want finding the next franchise qb?
makes sense and I imagine what eatman hinted could happen.
cut livings, sign moore.

Wouldn't it make sense to cut Livings after the draft, assuming that we landed Warmack or Cooper?
Parcells tried an antiquated blocking FB running game that, IMO, just does not work anymore. Lusaka Polite was a solid FB and if this were the 1980's, he would be kicking Ewoks, to clear running lanes. But other than Murray's success, which has more to do with Murray's vision and physical style, the Dallas running game has not generated much success at all with run-philosophies which were popular and successful in the 80's and 90's. The defenses are bigger faster and much more well informed of where a simple handoff and FB blocking path will go. Vickers was successful because of the play calling and running play designs. Steve Young said on Michael Kay Show on ESPN radio in New York that the Niners make very creative running plays, it's not that they run more, but they run effectively. In 2011, there were games where Gore averaged 2 ypc and 3 ypc, with a very weak passing game (Alex Smith) and they still kept running Gore (culminating with the NFC championship loss that year). The read option has more to do with an advanced run philosophy that keeps very athletic defensive players from being able to predict the path of the runner at the LOS (whether it turns into a path or not).
Jason will keep looking for Moose Johnston the player every year to resurrect the 90's success but continue to turn up ineffective running stats because he is not putting any interest, patience, or modern invention into that part of the offense.
clarence hill is also claiming we have an offer on the table for guard brandon moore
Looking back on it, WTF was John Garrett (or Jason too) thinking when they were so convinced Fasano was too dumb to play?
Not like Fasano is great, but he's solid enough and he's proven he can play in the league. Seriously, I wonder what the story was behind that.
I really think that plus Bennett doing better in NY his first year than he ever did here is a big reason why Jerry sent John packing.
They thought Fasano was too dumb to play and then they draft Bennett?
Fucking retards.
