Simeon Rice

[cucci80]

[heathh4]

eh,
hes up there in years,
but some d-line help couldnt hurt

How old is BY in his NFL years? 14 years? He's younger than BY and has produced more and BY is our starter if you wanna try to pull the "years" card.

[49ers 4 Life]

I say sign him if the price is right

[Pound th' Rock]

Where the hell would we play him? OLB? No thnx. I've heard he's a team cancer.

[KevinM]

No. He's a light 4-3 DE and he won't be interested in learning 3-4 OLB at this point in his career. I would expect Minnesota, Detroit and St. Louis to be among his suitors- assuming this rumor you heard is true.

Its true. It was just on Sportscenter and Jerm started a thread with a link in the NFL forum.

[The Jerm!]

LOL, I wasn't arguing for it. I was saying if someone wants to pull the "years" age on him I could easily do it on BY, but everyone is all over BY because of his "Loyalty" to the team. Not trying to sound mean n all.

Ahh gotcha. Yeah, but BY has always been a 49ers... :dance3:

[heathh4]

you bring up a good point though...but yea, if the price is right, go for it...he also might be able to teach some of the young guys some stuff.

[Strebs4]

I just read that Tampa Bay released Simeon Rice. I wanted to know what you guys thought about that.

[OsBoogie]

nah

[Brian Jennings]

no.

[49ers 4 Life]

i doubt it cause it's two different systems Tampa ran a 4-3 defense and the niners running a 3-4 defense,he would have to play olb which the team don't need.

[colo49ergyrl]

He couldn't pass a physical, so I doubt he'll be fitting nicely into anybody's defense.

[Blue Bird]

He couldn't pass a physical, so I doubt he'll be fitting nicely into anybody's defense.

I don't think that's accurate. He was released because he wouldn't take a pay cut. I haven't heard anything about him failing a physical.

[Husker49er]

no kidding, rice would be a horrible pickup, not only does he not fit our d, but he would take away from the young guys we have, all for what, a backup spot that would be better used to progress young guys

[OsBoogie]

I don't think that's accurate. He was released because he wouldn't take a pay cut. I haven't heard anything about him failing a physical.

it's on ESPN's ticker...

[Franchise49]

I would rather wait for Pat Williams to become a FA after the season.

[sosaucy408]

No! Why is it every time a player gets released he's supposed to be a future niner! :throw:

hahaaa... i know. our roster doesnt suck anymore. a few years ago it wouldve been interesting to pick up these players. we dont need them anymore

[Blue Bird]

He can't even run routes anymore.

:falldownlaugh:

[Body87SU]

He can't even run routes anymore.

:down:

[colo49ergyrl]

Me either I never heard that.

It was on NFLTA and like Boogie said previous to your post, it's on the ESPN ticker. It's accurate. I really don't think I'd get that many thrills from making it up :)

[Triple Threat]

maybe on the sidelines.

he is going to detroit and everyone knows it? <----:unsure: :laugh:

[Pound th' Rock]

you bring up a good point though...but yea, if the price is right, go for it...he also might be able to teach some of the young guys some stuff.

I don't think so. I've heard from a friend who is close to the situation that he is definately a jack*****.

[dandguynn]

I don't like the idea, because it would be like bringing in a Lavar Arrington. The guy does what he wants, when he wants to do it. If you don't remember, he was benched the year we beat Tampa because he wouldn't play the system. Bottom line is the guy is a head case besides getting old and we really don't need him. In the locker or on the field.

[Blue Bird]

For the record, I never thought you were "making it up." But the mere fact that ESPN reported it doesn't necessarily make it accurate. Fox is reporting that it was purely a salary cap move brought on by the fact that he wouldn't take a pay cut.

[offtackle24]

No! Why is it every time a player gets released he's supposed to be a future niner! :throw:

exactly :banned:

[Nilsen31]

Sign him, just to take up space...he's strong.


If he comes for not much $, why not a 1 year deal?


We don't have much depth at DL, Melvin Oliver's injury weakens us (I really like him)...if we have extra cash...again, y not?

It's a shot in the dark, just like any other FA at this point, unless we have some big plans, and a top seceret FA we're after...than we have money to throw around.

[Nevyn]

He'd have to switch to OLB and steal TBC's job

[KevinM]

He'd have to switch to OLB and steal Rod Green's job

Fixed.

[DeadlyNiners]

I think Dungy might be going after him. Would the Colts have the cap space to sign him though?

[hawaiian49erfan]

we should get him to help by teach our young d-line team

[Ness]

I just hope one of our division rivals doesn't acquire him.

[BigB_85]

Actually the years card in this case is very valid because there is a difference between already having an older player on the team, and adding another one...

[fabie]

3rd down DE/PASS RUSHER...1 year. Sign him!

[Ronin 49er]

That's the impression I've always had of him in his interviews and stuff. :down:

[Rocketknight73]

His best days are behind him. He was always a one trick pony anyway.:down:

[Sac-King_916]

Yea, too bad he has 121 sacks to show for it. ;)

[Rocketknight73]

Yea, too bad he has 121 sacks to show for it. ;)I know, I know. He was good at that. No good vs the run. Always split way out, taking himself out of the play. Meh....

[Nevyn]

Fixed.

Green doesn't yet have a job for Rice to steal. And Rice should still command enough salary that no one would pay him to be a backup.

[euronimous]

LOL, I wasn't arguing for it. I was saying if someone wants to pull the "years" age on him I could easily do it on BY, but everyone is all over BY because of his "Loyalty" to the team. Not trying to sound mean n all.

The years card is not needed. He was released for not passing his physical. We have enough gimps on this team as it is.

[49erssre94]

what has he done to warrent a spot on our ? def line.....hasn't he been some what of a hack for the bucs

[KevinM]

Which is why his agent won't even get a courtesy call from us.

Here is a question, And before we start....To all the little message board police that are not mods, that go around the boards and flex their fake authority, we all know you are 40 y/o virgins living in their mother's basement in real life.....this thread is 49ers related and does belong here!


With that said, what does everyone think about the 49ers going after S. Rice and use him just like Allen, to teach the young guys the ropes!

don't think so... since he's a 4-3 pass rushing DE, and wouldn't be able to help our 3-4 DEs or OLBs... plus he'd want too much $$

Sorry it was just an Idea

He did play in a 4-3 system....but just because players play in types of formations does not mean they cant play in other systems! These guys are pros....and its done all the time, from high school and up. Don't get caught up with the ESPN BS of "oh he is a 3-4 player". Hell even our own guys have been bounced around from a 3-4 to a 4-3........P.S not trying to call you out!

but wasn't he some what of a hack for the bucs.......i swear i remb reading some where that he doesn't want to play in a 3-4......i could be wrong i just did get back from the bar

Allow me to retort, 1. Its a classic, and classic never get old. and 2. We have to call a spade a spade, these adult versions of student yard-duties on a elementry school play yard, are infact 40 y/o virgins...taking out their aggregations of life out on our posts.

I don't know, I'm in the "new posts" section...everything is all grouped together. No worries, I don't care if they're are 50 threads about the same thing, I was just saying...

[BrentJones84]

I'm actually not so against this idea.

Rice was one of the most dominate DT's in his prime.

But given the 49ers are not running the same defense, I'm not sure it's the best use of the personnel.

[Roadhg67]

Well, its just that he's around 265-270 lbs. I guess he could maybe pull off an OLB spot, but would he be quick enough? especially in his old age. He'd be a little small for a 3-4 DE. I dunno, it just doesn't seem like something Nolan would do. He wants big guys up front.

The players who often can swap back and forth are 4-3 DTs who are around 280-330 lbs. and move to a 3-4 DE or NT. Or possibly a small 4-3 DE (around 240-260 lbs.) to a 3-4 OLB. I just doubt it would be an easy swap for Rice at his playing size. He'd probably prefer to play for a 4-3 team that'll pay him more than us anyway.

[Cyclone]

I know we have young talent along the D line and that he didn't have a productive year last year but should we look to sign him?

[Roadhg67]

No.:down:
