Tom Brady's prolonged excellence might not have been the only thing that stunted Jimmy Garoppolo's ascent to becoming the future in Foxborough. Former Patriots great Julian Edelman has now joined Martellus Bennett in criticizing Garoppolo for refusing to play through injury in 2016 with Tom Brady out of the lineup, acknowledging on the "I AM ATHLETE" podcast that even more players than Bennett were upset with the now-San Francisco 49ers quarterback.
The 49ers use a Wide 9 defensive alignment, which moves the defensive ends extra far away from the ball before the snap to give them more space to rush the quarterback. This alignment leaves the two interior defensive tackles isolated and susceptible to double-team blocks during run plays, which means those defensive linemen must be immovable, otherwise the 49ers won't be able to stop runs between the tackles.
The trade request that Deebo Samuel made in March is still on the table. Reporting to mandatory minicamp may have given the impression that he is still fully committed to the 49ers, but he had to show up to avoid being fined. It was a no-brainer decision for him to attend.
