on Sunday morning Colin Kaepernick Jersey , and team leadership wants it to be clear that nobody is bigger than the team. Prior to the game, general manager John Lynch said, “I think one lesson I’ve learned being around this league for 30 years now in different capacities, is that nobody is bigger than the team. That’s ultimately what this decision came down to for us.”After the game, head coach Kyle Shanahan echoed Lynch’s sentiments, stating that “no one is more important than the team” and “[o]ur number one rule is that you’ve got to protect the team.”In any sport, professional, college, or otherwise, we regularly hear about how nobody is bigger than the team. If a player is released or otherwise disciplined for a transgression, team leaders will speak to this topic without fail.At this point, it’s become an entirely overused cliche. Technically it’s true. A team decides when a player has become too big a headache, and at that point will part ways. We’ve seen it regularly with the 49ers in recent years Richard Sherman Color Rush Jersey , with Aldon Smith and Ray McDonanld being the primary examples.While there is a kernel of truth to the “nobody is bigger than the team,” it hides an important part of the cliche that we all know to be true. Some players get more room to screw up, and the more talent you have, the more you get away with. This applies in plenty of other professional environments, but it is particularly high profile in sports.There is nothing new to this, but it feels like when someone is saying “nobody is bigger than the team,” they’re trying to gloss over the realities of how many opportunities some players get over others. We don’t know everything that happens behind closed doors, but enough leaks out that it becomes harder and harder to take what is being said entirely at face value.The 49ers gave Reuben Foster multiple chances, and it eventually blew up in their face. They were enamored with his talent and personality, and it cost them. He represents the one truly big off-field mistake thus far in the Lynch/Shanahan regime. They’ve missed on other players in the draft and free agency, and there are plenty of issues to be rectified in that regard — but ideally they will have learned from this and how they look at talent moving forward. They have to find the talent they think fits the system, but they cannot play as fast and loose as they might like to think when it comes to premium talent.On Sunday, Lynch said the 49ers have to learn from this https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Jaquiski-Tartt-Jersey , but at the same time, they cannot operate scared.Lynch and Shanahan are in the spotlight, and it will only get brighter this offseason. The return of Jimmy Garoppolo and Jerick McKinnon will serve as a salve, but with a high draft pick and a lot of cap space, this is likely to be an aggressive offseason. There is an opportunity to build this team into a playoff contender sooner rather than later, but any more mistakes like this, and things could go further south in a hurry. The 49ers did the right thing in releasing Reuben Foster, but who knows if they did it for the right reasons. Given how the situation played out, that is critical to whether or not they have learned necessary lessons from this situation. Today we take a closer look at one of the top Guards in the 2019 NFL Draft, Chris Lindstrom of Boston College."Last season the 49ers selected tackle Mike McGlinchey and the result has been a positive one, and McGlinchey has the looks of a future pro bowl talent on the line. Today, we are going to discuss how Chris Lindstrom can be a nice fit along the 49ers offensive line and offer the protection and blocking needed to protect Jimmy Garoppolo.Combine Results:40 Yard Dash: 4.91Bench Press: 21 RepsVertical Jump: 30.5”Broad Jump: 117.0”3 Cone Drill: 7.6120 Yard Shuttle: 4.54 Measurables:Height: 6’4”Weight: 308 lbs.Hands: 9 ½”Arms: 34 1/8”Summary: In 2018 you could have found one of the most consistent offensive linemen at Boston College in Chris Lindstrom. The guard has produced positive production and results for the Eagles this season. On tape, Lindstrom has demonstrated his ability to be a consistent blocker up front. This includes positive production in both running and passing plays. Lindstrom has strong Mike Person Jersey , reliable hands, when blocking in one to one match-ups with oncoming pass rushers. Lindstrom maintains great leverage against defenders, utilizing a blend of upper and lower body strength. Lindstrom has good speed, and trusts his feet to keep himself upright and balanced. Lindstrom has desirable size and measurables for the position at the next level. He plays stronger as the game continues on. There have been some whispers about Lindstrom potentially being a tackle, however guard is his more natural position, and the position I see him best at the pro level. Where Lindstrom seems to be getting most of his praise is his ability as a blocker on passing downs. Lindstrom is looking like a day two prospect somewhere in the second round. In a pass-happy league where protecting the quarterback means everything, Lindstrom carries a lot of value heading into the 2019 NFL Draft.Is Chris Lindstrom a fit for the 49ers?It would be wise of the San Francisco 49er to continue to address and invest in young talent along the offensive line. The team hit it out of the park last season with McGlinchey and why not look to bolster the line with more high-end talent. Lindstrom is one of the best guard prospects this draft class has to offer. His abilities to protect and block in both running and passing downs only increases his value. Lindstrom has the potential to be a three-down starter at the next level. Sure, there might be some growing pains in the beginning, but the ceiling is high, and the offensive line will see in upgrade in talent. With Lindstrom and McGlinchey in the fold and Joe Staley providing that strong veteran presence the offensive line in due time could be one of the stronger units on the team sooner rather than later. If the 49ers have their sights set on Lindstrom then they will most likely have to select him in the second round. That means either at their current spot (36th Overall) or a possible trade back. Guard selections don’t win on the night of the draft like receivers but they certainly will win you football games in the long run.What are YOUR thoughts on Chris Lindstrom?
