If we get a 3rd of this aggression/talent, it was a good trade

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

.....and we ended up getting a younger, better, faster player to take Will Smith's place, just like I said on the Smith thread.

Again, there's no downside. I don't think Haralson will be great or even a starter, but he can play the position better than Smith would have.

This is an upgrade folks.

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

He's gonna cover more area than W Smith; waaaay more versatile. Mentoring is key from him, too. The only downside of this trade is what we had to give up to get him. There's where my verdict lies with this move.

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

If we had traded somebody like Tanner or Robinson we would've heard about it by now. It's likely a mid-round draft pick (4 or 5) or a fringe OL, something like that.

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

Good pickup. Hope we didnt give up much in trade

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

Forgive me.

OMG! This is HOT!!
I want to jump him like he jumped that Manning boy!!

Carry on.

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

Olsen? Nah; we couldn't be so lucky...

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

Just think-next year we get Butler back

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

Its hard to shine out in 49er land when you have studs like Brooks, Smith, Willis and company but from everything I have read and seen, we may have picked up a very solid player in Haralson. He can only help to improve our defense.

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

Itch scratched!
Thank you Mickey Loomis and Saints org for scratching that itch that needed to be scratched!!

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

Go team go

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

We'll see. We had to have someone to replace Smith. Hopefully he does well but I don't trust Hairball, he dangled a carrot and we bit.

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

Now the question is; does he have enough time to cram some playbook so we get to see him play Thursday?

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

Judging from our past linebacking situations ... We've got some thumpers ...

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

I like this pick up

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

I think he Starts most of the Season ... AND OH MY DID THE FALCONS O LINE SITUATION JUST GET SOME BAD NEWS heh heh

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

Its a player that not only takes Will Smith's place on the field but I'm willing to bet will out shine any production the Saints would of gotten out of Smith. Hell its a great trade off of that fact alone.

Thank you once again Loomis for making it happen. I seriously doubt they gave the 49ers anything more then a 6-7th round pick

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

How did he pass the physical that fast? Concerning but what can you do...we're desperate, especially the first two games of the season. I'm guessing he'll contributes 2-3 games before the tranny goes out but hope I'm wrong and it comes back to haunt the 49ers.

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

Lighting strikes quick.

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

I just hope we didn't give up more than a 7th round pick or Cadet.

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

I think we may have given Cadet ... Robinson or Cadet was going to go anyways , either I would've been highly upset about ... But that would make sense for them having a Versitile guy

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

The guy is a stud at OLB in a 3-4. I followed him his whole career. I am pumped about this pick up.

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

I like the move but lets not get carried away.

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

So, what are 9er fans saying about this deal?

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

we seem to say next year every year..its old, our linebackers are garbage when WILL freakin smith was even considered at playing the position

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

With you but there is a lot of truth to what Jim Finks said and that's build your lines first. We have really struggled building a good D line, one that can stand on its own with no gimmicks and insane blitzing.

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

We're getting there with the d-line. Jordan will end up requiring special attention in the blocking schemes, freeing up our LBs. Hicks needs to play with more control, but he's gonna be a beast too once he figures that out (hopefully sooner than later). The middle with Bunkley and Jenkins will be solid as well. Foster/Walker are both ideal to spell the DEs. I'm actually excited about our d-line this year, much more so than previous years. Since 2010, Smith and that nard Ellis did the line no favors, but these young ones we got now seem to be getting where they need to be to take over games late.

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

Hicks and Jordan at End fresh Rotation of Foster and Walker , Constant Rotation of Jenkins , Bunkley , Heralson and Galette on Random Crashes Were going to give the Falcons problems week 1 I guarantee it

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

Is he here yet? He could've caught a flight already!!!

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

Twitter buzzing ... Says we gave a 7th if he makes the team

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

WOW.. it's already made Wiki

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

I also saw on NFL.com that it was a 7th, based on him making the team. And more comments from 9ers fans that we got a good one. One guy mentioned that he was having a really good preseason. Gotta say I like the move at this point. I don't expect to see him get much game time for the first 2-3 weeks of the season while he learns the playbook, but I really like that we finally have a guy who isn't transitioning from DE or 4-3 LB. I think he'll be making a fairly significant contribution by midseason.

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

If true that's highway robbery!

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

Sounds like a good pickup, although I'm more excited about Martez Wilson and Junior Galette being able to get more playing time. I would not wish an injury on someone but maybe something good will come out of Will Smith being on the sidelines.

Is that wrong for me to say?

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

49ers trade Parys Haralson to Saints | ProFootballTalk
Comments section is interesting. Seems like he was very highly regarded by 9ers fans.

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

He's been solid in preseason so far.

Against the Broncos he had four tackles, one assisted tackle, and one sack.
Against the Chiefs he had two tackles and one sack.
Against the Vikings he had one tackle.

According to Niners Nation, a 49ers blog, the 49ers were actually looking to shop Haralson even before the trade happened. But David Fucillo, who writes for the blog, states that, "Haralson has had a very solid preseason so far." So obviously, he feels that Haralson can still be an asset.

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

Awesome he and Wilson coming to blitz a shaky falcons line is music to my ears

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

He is also a Mississippi Boy and played at Tennessee so he's closer to home. I'm curious to see the trade details though. Glad to have him and Maybe he will help enact some revenge on the 49ers this year.

Re: Haralson a Saint
 

The reports I read have the trade as a 7th rounder if he makes the team.
