The large receiver place has turn out to be desolate for the San Francisco 49ers.
So many accidents have derailed the place. It’s made holding a standard observe in coaching camp troublesome for the 49ers.
That’s the reason they’ve been signing a brand new receiver virtually each different day. First, it was Equanimeous St. Brown, then Andy Isabella, and most just lately, Malik Turner.
Given the speed at which receivers are getting injured, Turner is probably going not going to be the final receiver the 49ers signal.
At this level, I’m certain the 49ers are holding their breath and knocking on wooden on daily basis that Ricky Pearsall doesn’t reinjure his hamstring.
Getting Jacob Cowing again needed to have made the 49ers ecstatic as nicely, particularly as a result of rookie Jordan Watkins is coping with a excessive ankle sprain.
Even with Cowing again, the 49ers want reinforcements at large receiver. That’s why the 49ers may kick the tires on former Professional Bowl receiver Odell Beckham Jr..
For many who are holding out hope and banging the desk for Amari Cooper, it’s not taking place. Surrender that dream and save your self additional disappointment.
The 49ers have made it clear that they’re aiming for affordable gamers who’re strictly coaching camp our bodies, and Beckham suits that mould. It isn’t unique to the large receiver place.
They’re doing it all over the place, like at cornerback once they signed Eli Apple. Hilariously, a fuss was made about it by followers on social media platforms.
The truth is that Apple, and plenty of different signings, are simply so the 49ers can have an precise observe. They’re determined to carry observe due to the accidents, to not add to the place for the season.
It’s extra of a short lived desperation since they haven’t misplaced a number of receivers for the season. Signing Cooper could be to make him an integral a part of the offense, and the 49ers can’t try this.
They want these reps to go to Pearsall, Jauan Jennings, and Brandon Aiyuk once they come again, Demarcus Robinson after his looming suspension, and Cowing.
To not point out that there aren’t a ton of passing reps to go round whenever you issue Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle into the equation.
Signing Beckham makes good sense for the 49ers proper now. He’s been in an analogous offense earlier than, due to his tenure with the Miami Dolphins underneath head coach Mike McDaniel.
Don’t be stunned if, someday quickly, the 49ers deliver him for a exercise and signal him.
