i like the mocks showing us taking a de end like Marcell Dareus.

everything starts with the lines. the de line can make life easier for every1 behind them.

last year we handled the o-line, this year we should handle the de line.

and thats not saying we shouldnt obviously improve our secondary and our outside backers- but in the draft, de line looks safer.

Special-teams guru likely to land with 49ers

Browns assistant head coach/special teams coordinator Brad Seely, a highly regarded assistant with 22 years of NFL experience, has reportedly left Cleveland, presumably to join Jim Harbaugh’s staff in San Francisco.

On Thursday afternoon, ESPN reported Seely was in discussions with the Niners. That was followed by a report from the Cleveland Plain Dealer stating Seely had left the Browns, apparently because he was headed to San Francisco.

If so, the 49ers have landed an assistant who earned a reputation for overseeing stellar special teams units during stints with the Colts (1989-93), Jets (1994), Panthers (1995-98), Patriots (1999-2008) and Browns, where he was hired in 2009. It is not known what Seely’s title would be in San Francisco.

During his tenure in New England, the Patriots led the NFL in kickoff-return average (23.5) and ranked eighth in punt-return average (9.9). New England also ranked second with 11 returns for touchdowns, including eight on kickoffs. Under Seely’s guidance, the Browns are one of four NFL teams to not allow a kickoff or punt return for a touchdown over the past two seasons. They also lead the NFL in kickoff-return coverage and rank fourth in punt-return coverage since 2009.

Seely, 54, the NFL’s Special Teams Coach of the Year in 1996, has coached eight Pro Bowl players, a list that includes return specialists Joshua Cribbs and Michael Bates and kickers Adam Vinatieri and John Kasay.

Seely has a history with several 49ers assistants. He coached with offensive coordinator Greg Roman and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio from 1995-98 in Carolina. He also coached with secondary coach Ed Donatell at Pacific in 1983.

Kurt Schottenheimer was the Niners’ special teams coordinator this past season after spending the previous three seasons as Green Bay’s secondary coach. Schottenheimer’s status with the team has been uncertain since Harbaugh’s hiring.

Man this coaching staff is loaded with experience.


I'm actually hoping we can land The Prince at #7. Peterson is the more athletic corner, but I think Prince is actually a better player. Didn't see them a lot, but just from watching highlights mostly.

If not, I'd like us to get that outside pass rusher like Quinn...


Our guys like Harylson, Brooks, and Lawson are just situational guys. We need a guy like Clay Matthews that can do it all.

No shit...he's bringing in coaches of high caliber....

I gotta give Jed and Baalke props for making this shit happen...THEY WANT A FUCKING RING!

I got a feeling Eddie D has a lot to do with Jed moves though, he sorta following the same path as his uncle.

I like both Prince and Peterson, but I'd pick Peterson over Prince ..due to the fact that he's more athletic ...

I'm very impressed with harbaugh n who he's bringing in to help coach the team. All if not most have NFL expierence that harbaugh doesn't have, so the coaches can help him out to be like the great coach he was at the college level but now moving onto the NFL level.

Jim Harbaugh had lunch with those who cover the team regularly, and he dispensed a little news. Harbaugh confirmed that defensive line coach Jim Tomsula, running backs Tom Rathman and assistant offensive line coach Ray Brown will be retained. The team also hired former Browns coach Brad Seely as their special teams coordinator, replacing Kurt Schottenheimer.
Seely helped develop Joshua Cribbs in Cleveland, one of the leagues best kick returners. The Browns also ranked fifth last year in defending punt and first in defending kickoffs.
Meanwhile Brown, along with new offensive coordinator Greg Roman, will coach tight ends. Brown will also oversee the team's offensive tackles.
Harbaugh also said he and general manager Trent Baalke have met in person with free agent quarterback Alex Smith. Baalke said Smith would be treated like any other free agent on the market. Right after the season, Baalke said the team's starting quarterback is not on their roster right now. Team president Jed York said on KNBR this week that the team has not closed the door on Smith's return.
Harbaugh refused to be pinned down on any other topic, including what kind of offense he wants to run. While at Stanford, Harbaugh constantly talked about being physical and Stanford was probably the most physical offense in the conference. When asked if he would bring his "power West Coast" offense to the 49ers, Harbaugh said he would simply try to put his players in the best positions to win.

The 49ers shouldnt let alex smith go, who is better then him out there? id love to here a name.
Click to expand...

He should just go play somewhere else, maybe his career will take off though..

Kolb is better than Smith.....

Vince Young is too....

Plus Ass Smith is not West Coast offense material....

Harbaugh said it himself, that Ass Smith is not what he see's in the future for the 49ers...
