@mattbarrows Hey Matt - do you think Stribbling is going to see a lot of snaps as the Z receiver this year? Sounds like he’s primarily seeing snaps in the slot, but imagine he’d get more playing time as the Z. Also has the speed and build of an outside receiver. Thanks!
@mattbarrows Hey Matt - with Raheem Morris coming in at DC, what schematic and/or personnel changes do you foresee happening on that side of the ball? Thanks!
@mattbarrows Hi Matt - How do you think Mykel Williams is doing? I know we drafted him to primarily help with the run (initially), but watching our inability to get pressure with 4 last week made me wonder if we should be getting more from the 11th overall pick on passing downs. Thanks!
@mattbarrows Hey Matt - in a recent article you mentioned the Niners envision Alfred Collins as a 3-technique, but his immense size and lack of explosive physical traits (26” vert, 8’ broad jump) don’t scream penetrating defensive tackle. Wouldn’t he be better at 0-technique/nose tackle?
@mattbarrows Hi Matt - are we seeing a shift in philosophy at safety? Last year our top 3 safeties (Huff, Mustafa, Brown) were all more strong or “box” safeties. Seems like safety has been a surprising priority in FA this year, so wondering if they are looking for a true “free” safety?

@mattbarrows Hey Matt - I saw a kind of crazy stat that teams after they play the Niners are 1-12 this season. Do you think this is just a fluke or is there a reason for this?
