I love how they still talk about the five championships.... How many play off appearances since? Not to mention, the had to cheat the cap, to win that one....

A top run stuffer and a top pass rusher.......not too bad there Mickey. Keep your eyes out for a top LB'er while you're getting everyting else done.

Aubrayo Franklin (SF) - ok he is not a house hold name but he is as solid of a NT in the NFL as u can find. Plus he has always impressed me as a player that would really blossom in a 43 defense vs the 34 he in now. Not to say he is not doing well in the 34.

1. Aubrayo Franklin, San Francisco 49ers

Age as of 1st September 2011: 31

2010 Grade: +15.5

Key Stat: 37 defensive stops. Third most of all defensive tackles.

Behind The Numbers: Let’s be honest, there are not enough quality nose tackles in the league right now, so good ones are all the more valuable. Franklin isn’t a one gap nose tackle that is all the rage, but a true prototypical, run stuffing, gobble up running backs two gapper. He’s not going to get after the passer, but when you can anchor a line like Franklin you really don’t need to.

thats going to be ellis's job get after the passer.

Can't wait to see one of our big bodies squash another SHI* stain out of Matt Ryan...

There won't be enough bleach in Georgia to clean his uniform.

Say hello to a top 3 run defense

Wow !!! maybe the steal of Free agency. I didn't see this coming. Great for deal for Us.

Sedric and Vilma are set up to have monster years now

This move keeps the rotation fresh up front.
With the added youth, this group should be able even to handle hobbled sperts.
When Smith comes back from vacation, we should be tight.
I think this season is going to be fun, lots of fun.

I love Williams' quote today after practice, about Franklin signing with the Saints...

"Coach Williams speculated that after losing such a force on the defensive line, 49ers MLB Patrick Willis was "crying in his milk". "
