Eenie, meenie, miney, mo. That appears to be the direction head coach Mike Nolan is heading in finding the starting 11 for the 49ers defense. After another poor performance this past Saturday, Nolan is shaking up the defense, and moving back to a 4-3.
“The terminology won’t change,” Nolan said. “We will just feature more defenses than the other. That’s the beauty of the 3-4. If you go the other way – from a 4-3 to a 3-4 – you may have problems.”

What the hell is going on here, so who is going to get taken out at LB, this is the only spot on the D that is any good. Moore, Smith, Ulbrich, and Lawson…. along with corey smith who is a good backup was the strenght of our D… now Nolan is considering starting OLIVER at LB (who is a DE btw) in a 4-3 system
i mean i love the 49ers and i like Nolan as coach but WHAT THE FUCK is going on here??
??... have we become this desprate….
Also: i cant tell if our secondary is just that bad, or if our passrush blows so much dick it is making them look that bad cuz i cant watch the games, and even if the fucking #1 ranked pass D in the league had our pass rush they would struggle…. does anyone know????

But they’re making moves and we are bullshiting!
We just might need a new quarterback,headcoach,and new owner because this is not working and I don’t want to hear it’s only preseason bullshit anymore because it’s only one game left and not four to determine what kind of impact we are going to make and what kind of team we are.
I don’t even want to get madden because may man next door from me has it and he’s a eagles fan and he said the eagles is shitty on the game and since we had a worst record than them 4-12 then you can imagine how the 49ers are on there.
THIS SHIT IS REALLY FUCKED UP!

I am with you yet again Baaqi. We have three 4th rounders for next year, if we are not going after recievers when we are in need of one, what about defensive PROVEN talent? I do not know if I agree with you on needing a new quarterback, we should give Alex Smith this one last chance because we are already paying him for 4 more years (and if he sucks, Trent Dilfer is a stud) but I do agree with you that we need a new coach and new owner. York, you penny-pinching jackass, we want Debartolo back!
Baaqi yes watching Stallworth go while we still do nothing is frustrating. In another blog, I made the same arguments you make and people tell me I only want a quick fix, and do not always agree. You know why you Nolan people do not agree? It’s because I want a superbowl or at least superbowl contention NOW while you guys pray for 6 wins this year and a possible playoff berth within the next 5 years.

WOW… You guys are a joke… Why don’t you quit bitching about the 49ers having to re-build and go become “bandwagon” fans of the Steelers… They won the Superbowl so you should LOVE them
Its the NFL… You can’t be good forever… The 49ers were good for almost 20 years… Now they have to re-build, just like every other team has to go through… The Organization made a mistake by having Erickson and his crew, coach and “re-build” this team… that set us back 3 years. So now we must continue to re-build. GET OVER IT - SHIT HAPPENS!
Its not realistic to think that we can just throw all our cap money at any player out there and give up all our draft picks as well! To be great and stay on top longer, you build through the draft and you manage your team wisely!
What do you want, the 49ers to go back into Salary Cap Hell with no draft picks, just to get a few overpaid players to make a run at the play-offs for a year or two???
Do any of you realize that when Nolan came in, he signed on to what is pretty much a 4 year re-building process??? 4 YEARS… Guess what, we are only in year #2… So I have some news for you… its gonna be a long 2-3 more years for fans like yourselves! Get out or stop bitching!
5 hours after the fact.MJ said:
Burly D 83, what the hell are you talking about? Nolan “signed on to a 4 year rebuilding process?” Are you out of your damn mind? So you are implying that the team has been rebuilding for 3 years, and have another 4 to go (6 years total) and you imply that Mike Nolan is guaranteed his position as coach for just as long? You are a bandwagon fan, not people like me and Baaqi! You were one of those fans who defended Erickson during his reign while fans like us spoke out. You know what you guys said then? You said every team has to rebuild, just like you are doing now. What you do not understand, is that people like me are just unsatisfied and are in disagreement with the rebuilding method we used under Erickson and used use now under Nolan!
Then you talk about salary cap hell. Bro, you can pick pick up big name players without going into salary cap hell. It’s not an all or nothing dilemma as you imply! If we never signed Smith, we would have saved a shit load of money and could have signed Culpepper this year as well as kept a lot of the players we let go (or could have signed more players this offseason) and could have a shot THIS YEAR. Hell, forget Culpepper, even if we never had taken Smith and took only Trent Dilfer we could have used the money saved on Smith to have a high caliber team that would be rebuilding in the right direction. That aside, let’s not talk about what could have happened but where we are now. Smith is our quarterback, and I will give the kid another year. After 3 pre-season games, however, it looks like the team is worst than last year! No pressure on the opposing QB from our defense, a scared Alex Smith who people forget was a #1 OVERALL DRAFT PICK in 2005, our cornerbacks are misreading routes, our recieving corps rests on players like Gilmore, and our main players get injured more times that Paris Hilton says “that’s hot.” So tell me, Burly D 83, what the hell kind of progress is that? Don’t tell me it is only preseason!
The difference between me and you is that I want a superbowl for the 49ers. You want 6 wins this year and want the team to slowly elevate to the playoffs a few years down before “earning” a chance at a superbowl. What a freaking load of bologna! By the way, while people like Burly D 83 keep defending the Mike Nolan regime, you should know that articles already have us projected at dead last and talking Randy Quinn (a QB) with the #1 pick overall next year. If that happens, I think my head will explode.

About the alex smith comment I can’t get over the fact that matt lienart threw a touchdown pass and he held out and not had that much practice and he still manage to throw a touchdown if not as fast but at the same time as alex smith yes I’m trying to give him some time but this cat gonna have to show us something and it has to be now.

Baaqi, I agree. I want Alex Smith to show us something special and soon as well. He was a #1 pick and should showcase an ability worthy of that pick. I will give him a few games into the season to “breakout.” The defense in the preseason games has been deplorable, but the offensive line has held up nicely so Smith has no excuses. Some acquisitions would be nice to help the offense along, though, I watched Stallworth get picked up too and that pissed me off. (We have like 3 or 4 fourth round picks!) Worst case scenario, Smith is a bust and Trent Dilfer steps in. I would love for Dilfer to be the #1 QB. I am just going to wait it out and hope Smith elevates to meet all of our expectations. I, too, agree that there are no signs of that but what can we do but wait. It sucks.

Anyways, you are taking what was said far too literally and trying to blow it out of proportion. It was a curious question, read it in its originalilty. In fact, forget it was mentioned.
niners4life, you are the man. Finally someone brings up Nolan’s poor clock management issue. It was not in preseason alone, he did it all of last year. When it was 4th and 1 or 4th and 2 and it was the 4th quarter with 1-6 minutes left in the game and we were losing by over 20 points, Nolan punted the ball. WHAT THE HELL???! This jackass does not try to WIN games, I think that in his mind, us going for it is not trying to win the game. Nope, I think he believes us going for it would only make us lose worst….?? Or maybe he has more confidence in the defense since he was a defensive coordinator? All I know is he NEVER goes for it on 4th downs when he should, not even in preseason games where the score does not count and the benefit is supposedly to the players. Here is another biggie that you should watch for though; Nolan’s inability to call a timeout when time is dwindling down and is of the essence. He just does not believe in comebacks.

All his moves are questionable, but he does what he thinks is best even if we do not agree. Maybe Alex will be a superstar and maybe Nolan will have turned out okay.

OMG all you “faithfull” or is that what you call your selfs??? The only thing faithfull you guys are is crying. Listen, I have been a 9er fan my whole life and am i worried now…NO. they call it a preseason for a reason, because it is BEFORE the REGULAR season, does it matter if we win these games NO, last the the colts lost all 4 of them and won what 15-16 games in a row, and you guys are getting a little bent out of shpae because we lost two.
The reason the 9ers offense diddnt move the chains in the past two games were because Norv had Alex stay in the pocket. As we all know Alex is not a pocket passer, much like Vick but not flashy. When the regular season starts i forsee that Norv and Nolan gameplan Smith to bootleg more often and that will also help our run game, which wasn’t bad, Gore has 98 this preseason, 40 something against the cowpaddies. And our defense did not have all our starters playing. Hey maybe Nolan is trying to keep some stuff back so the Cardinals wont know what hit them in Week 1,
I dont know though, all i do know is that it takes 3 years to rebuild a franchise with one coach, we have had 2 i the past three, if you call erickson that and we have had to start over. Give him more time.
As for free agents, i was a little upset that we didnt get big names but i think we are taking after the Ravens and the Patriots franchises, they, as i recall, didnt land any big time free agents when they went to the supper bowls, I so think the addition of Larry Allen, Bryant and Dilfer will get this team over the hump this year and challenge for a wild car spot at 8-8 our schedule is soft and Gore should have a big year considering that the 9ers season opponents 9th worst in run defense. Just give it time, i know we all want to win now but in the long run we could win for a long time.

—There are no quick fixes, though. Despite having plenty of salary-cap room, the 49ers are building largely through the draft (19 picks over the past two years), emulating the strategy of the Eagles and the Patriots. It’s just going to take San Francisco a good while longer to match those teams’ success on the field.—Nunyo Demasio
This is exactly what I tried to say in an earlier post… Most of the above posts are complaining about Nolan and how he is doing a horrible job, but there isn’t 1 coach that could have turned our team around in 1 year after the terrible way Donahoue and Erickson ran the team. – Guess what… Even the greatest 49er Head Coach of all time – BILL WALSH - had a 2-14 first season record!
MJ - You try to point out that we had already been re-building before Nolan for 3 years and that we should be close to finished… Thats fuckin stupid… The reason Nolan was hired was because Dennis Erickson was a complete and total screw up! Nolan was handed a team that was worse than when Erickson took over! So of course we are going to still be in a re-building mode!
Think about your comments before posting stupid shit! Complain all you want about the team, all it does is give 49er fans a bad name – ever wonder why people call the team and fans the Forty “Whiners”??? Because of fans like yourself!

Apparently we are suppose to go from worst to best in 1 year or else everyone in the organization is shit. (I agree… You HAVE to through out the entire Dennis Erickson Era, because it didn’t mean shit… Nolan’s first year is where you have to “Re-start” our re-building process)

BurlyD_83, have you still not learned? I have had the same argument with you in other blogs, does reason not pertrude into that mind of yours? Do you know why the 49ers ever started “rebuilding” in the first place? If you did, you would know you are an idiot. The 49ers started rebuilding because they hit salary cap problems! It is not that the good days had come to an end because thus is the way of things. NO! It was because of cap problems. We cut all of our best veterans at one time, signs that were being foretold since the cuts in 1999.
And there you are again with the “3 years of rebuilding from when Nolan takes over the team.” Funny, last argument you made you said 4 years. You say I pointed out we have been rebuilding three years already; YES, WE HAVE! When you get a rookie quarterback and your team’s most famous players are gone it is called “rebuilding.” This last season marked year #3 in which the newspapers, internet articles, and 49ers coaches themselves defined the 49ers struggles as a “transition of rebuilding.” If you want to argue that we are just now starting over, you are out of touch with reality!
BurlyD_83, how dare you compare Mike Nolan to Bill Walsh? Someone really needs to smack your ass. That was one bad season surrounded by many great seasons. Bill Walsh showed signs of improvement while Nolan shows signs of decline. And thanks for stating the obvious in stating that “Nolan was handed a team that was worse than when Erickson took over.” Now I am convinced that you truly are an idiot. Erickson was handed an AWESOME team, in fact if we kept Mariuchi and never hired Erickson I would bet you we would have 2 or 3 more superbowls at this time. The fact of the matter is that Erickson did ruin the team by taking it in the wrong direction. Nolan is taking the team in another direction than Erickson, but still in the wrong direction as well.
BurlyD_83, you are one of those people who would have defended Erickson during his reign. You want everyone to believe this franchise MUST fall apart to be great again. You are mistaken. All your BurlyD_83’s would have defended Erickson when he was head coach, it is your nature. That is why you defend Nolan’s approach now, eventhough it is wrong. You want to know what your main problem is? You think it is an all or nothing dilemma. You think we either MUST build through and only through the draft OR by going after big name players. I am suggested we do BOTH, something that Nolan and you do not believe in. I have watched players from Ty Law and Lavaar Arrington to most recent Stallworth and Lelie gets snatched up. We see problems in the preseason exhibitions and do nothing to fix them. What you call a QUICK FIX is what I call a positive step in the right direction. IT IS POSSIBLE TO PICK UP A BIG NAME PLAYER WITHOUT GOING INTO SALARY CAP HELL! Maybe if we did get a bunch of big name players we may not make a superbowl but it would be signs for us fans that the team is making efforts towards contention.
You want to know what the difference between me and you, BurlyD_83. I want a superbowl now, you want to ride the Nolan train in hopes of even 5 or 6 wins this year. I bet if we won 6 games you would call our seasons a success, wouldn’t you? Yes, and then you would pray that maybe 5 years down we may make the playoffs…....BurlyD_83 go blow yourself.

Because I never once said what you’ve quoted above)
The nearest thing said to what you quoted was this… “You try to point out that we had already been re-building before Nolan for 3 years and that we should be close to finished”—THAT IS TALKING ABOUT ERICKSON NOT NOLAN, Thus the “BEFORE NOLAN” part of that quote.
LEARN TO READ AND COMPREHEND (or should I say “Understand”, I don’t want to confuse you with big words).
3.) MJ Said: “how dare you compare Mike Nolan to Bill Walsh?”

Second… all I said was “Even the greatest 49er Head Coach of all time – BILL WALSH - had a 2-14 first season record!”—NOWHERE DOES IT “COMPARE” NOLAN TO BILL WALSH. Does it say… Bill Walsh went 2-14 and Nolan went 4-12 so therefore Nolan must be as good or better compared to Bill Walsh??? NO DUMBASS, IT DOESN’T.
Quit making shit up! If you’re going to try and argue something, make sure its something that I SAID! Not that you THINK I said because you have a hard time understanding a sentence.

2 days after the fact.I’m sure you’ll respond with another post of the exact same stuff, because it’s too much for you to try and think about anything new, so I’m done! Later

BurlyD_83, it is pointless to argue with you. It is like talking to a wall. Only time will teach you that me and all the people who have similar views (the majority of the people on this specific blog) were right while you are just stubborn and wrong. As for quotes, I think you need to read to yourself one more time. Then a year or 2 from now you will say you never supported the Nolan reign like you say you did not support the Erickson reign. The only thing that will get through to you is time. I will waste no more time on you.
Peace.
