I think it is more likely to see Montgomery backup Smith, if he plays at DE. We don't need to move Antonio Smith around. Let's not fix something that isn't broke.Hmmm.. wonder if Antonio Smith moves to NT and Montgomery comes in as DE instead, since picking up T. Williams.. If i'm not mistaken i thought Smith played some NT in Arizona 34, but i could be wrong
Disagree. This is much better than the Montgomery pick.Least impressive pick thus far IMO
It's more likely we'll bring in a UDFA at this point.The Texans desperately need to address nt. Maybe they have some hidden gem in mind for the last rounds.
He's 6'1" 240. Bulk up really? Did he steal your bicycle or something? Why so down?ewww after watching some game film he is pretty explosive, might need to bulk up as he gets man handled alot imo, but seems to have good speed.
Interesting that you say that. I am writing my grades for the draft, and had the same thought. Obviously we have to see what he looks like in coverage, but with is football sense and lack of burst, it might be a good idea.Sam Montgomery may be better iside than out.
The Hampton and Texan rumors have been going on for a long time.Casey Hampton has said he wants to play another two years. Just sayin....
I hadn't thought about that.Sam Montgomery may be better iside than out.
This is what I'm thinking. Montgomery will learn from Ninja this year then take Ninja's place when his contract is up. If the kid shows promise, then Antonio doesn't have to take so many snaps/game.I think it is more likely to see Montgomery backup Smith, if he plays at DE. We don't need to move Antonio Smith around.

For good reason...... He wants to continue to play. Texans need a NT. Wouldn't be surprised to see it happen.The Hampton and Texan rumors have been going on for a long time.
I thought that was Crick's job.This is what I'm thinking. Montgomery will learn from Ninja this year then take Ninja's place when his contract is up. If the kid shows promise, then Antonio doesn't have to take so many snaps/game.
There you goSome players I have left on my list.
Ryan Swope, WR, Texas A&M
Rodgers - WR
Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama
Terry Hawthorne, CB, Illinois
Jonathan Stewart, ILB, TEXAS A&M
Indeed...San Fran .....going to be loaded
Lattimore
Lattimore is going to sit out the season and could be a key contributor for them the next yearAre the Niners going to carry 5 backs this year?
It wouldn't hurt to have Montgomery to help Crick and Jamison.I thought that was Crick's job.
Are we dealing with the NT situation by moving Crick there?
They were loaded last year. Just more of the same.San Fran .....going to be loaded
Lattimore
They'll stash him on IR probably.Are the Niners going to carry 5 backs this year?
Wade.Seriously hating the good talent the 9ners are getting right now. Who is their GM?
haha na but watch all his games, the guy gets man handeled unless he gets a jump and around his man, but going straight up the boy does nothing.He's 6'1" 240. Bulk up really? Did he steal your bicycle or something? Why so down?
I been saying Texans - Niners Superbowl since last month and I'm stickin to it. The only team who we have to worry about is Denver.San Fran .....going to be loaded
Lattimore
I was saying it jokingly. They have a stable back there though. If all are healthy even excluding Lattimore they'll be beastly with the receivers they've added this off season and with Williams and Manningham coming back.Lattimore is going to sit out the season and could be a key contributor for them the next year
That sounds alot more likely.Montgomery will via to start LOLB then kick inside to LDE in pass rush situations & Williams comes in as Pass Rush LB.
And that one team that continually beats our ass.I been saying Texans - Niners Superbowl since last month and I'm stickin to it. The only team who we have to worry about is Denver.
Good lateral movement, good tackler, can attack the play. Can blitz too.Has he ever played inside linebacker?
hmmm... let's think about the front seven rotation...I thought that was Crick's job.

Like everyone else I heard Gary talking about moving Reed inside and actually lined up inside a few snaps last season. I've not heard Braman's name mentioned to do the same.hmmm... let's think about the front seven rotation...
Mercilus/T.Williams
Watt/Crick
Mitchell/??
Smith/Montgomery
Reed/Braman
Cushing
Sharpton/???
Now was it Braman or Reed folks were talking about moving to ILB. Williams gives Wade that option.
Denver will play em and beat em in the playoffs.And that one team that continually beats our ass.
I think they wanted Arthur Brown but Baltimore moved in front of them.All signs are that we are moving someone inside, so it is probably Brooks Reed.
It's that or we are targeting a free agent or someone via trade.
I appreciate your analysis but I just wanted to know if he has ever played ilb.Good lateral movement, good tackler, can attack the play. Can blitz too.
Instead of position by position, I break it down like this because I think it's more accurate in how Wade likes to rotate:hmmm... let's think about the front seven rotation...
Mercilus/T.Williams
Watt/Crick
Mitchell/??
Smith/Montgomery
Reed/Braman
Cushing
Sharpton/???

Didn't Wade play Braman a little bit at ILB in the preseason last year?Like everyone else I heard Gary talking about moving Reed inside and actually lined up inside a few snaps last season. I've not heard Braman's name mentioned to do the same.
Montgomery is only 260. Too small for DE.hmmm... let's think about the front seven rotation...
Mercilus/T.Williams
Watt/Crick
Mitchell/??
Smith/Montgomery
Reed/Braman
Cushing
Sharpton/???

No. He played DE at LSU.I appreciate your analysis but I just wanted to know if he has ever played ilb.
hmmm... that's where he played at LSU...Montgomery is only 260. Too small for DE.
Which coach did they trot out at the press conference to talk about the pick? Herring, the LB coach.hmmm... that's where he played at LSU...
...and he's listed as a DE on the HT.com roster

but what do they know
Damn...Seattle with Jesse williams
3-4 DE's tend to be bigger, for example Smith is listed at 284 and Watt at 295.hmmm... that's where he played at LSU...

Looks like OLB to me.(on if he envisions Montgomery lining up over the tight end initially) Thats a great question. What wed like to do is wed like to start him out on the tight end as a SAM position. First, we have to find out can he drop and how adequate he can be. If he can make the transition and drop to the point where first and second down, hes not hurting the football team and hes okay or at least adequate in his job. The other things that he brings to the table could make him an outstanding player and a potential star for us someday. Thats what we see, starting him out at SAM. Weve got to find out. Then, if he cant, we always have the easy transition to move him over to the weak side and say you rush 95 percent of the time, which we know he can do off the edge as he did as a d-end in college. We try the most difficult task first. We throw him in the fire and see if it works. At the least, we see him as having sub-rush value which right now, with Connor Barwin moving on and having Brooks Reed and (Whitney) Mercilus, the only other outside backer we have on campus is Bryan Braman. This guy, Bryan has talent, speed and ability, but this guy right now possesses a very raw power in speed to power rush that could help us as far as depth and pass rush as the year goes on. So he does fill a void.
