Even if they could get a 6th or 7th for him I’d rather they cut him and say fukk the draft pick. He deserves to be cut.

Pettis, Ford, Alexander and Coleman are players I can't wait to see off the team.

I would cut Tevin Coleman to put Hasty on the roster.
Huey P. asks via Twitter: At this point, should we expect Dante Pettis to be traded or released once Deebo Samuel and Richie James return off of injured reserve?
Huey makes a good point. Once the IR guys are back, the 49ers will have seven receivers on a team that likes to have a maximum of five in uniform on game days: Brandon Aiyuk, Kendrick Bourne, James, Pettis, Samuel, Mohamed Sanu and Trent Taylor. They have three more, River Cracraft, Jauan Jennings and Kevin White, on the practice squad.
Pettis is serving as the team’s punt returner, although James and Taylor also can handle that role. He has no catches — and one target — through three games.
A lot of names are raised around the trade deadline, which this year is Oct. 29, and it would not be surprising if Pettis is one of them. He’s still got a year and a half left on his rookie contract. And he might be attractive to a team with a more vertical offense (or quarterbacks inclined to throw deep downfield more). The 49ers never would trade a player to the Seahawks (right?), but that might be an example of a better spot for Pettis.
The question is whether the 49ers ever get to a saturation point with their receivers. Samuel (foot) is expected to return to practice Wednesday. James (hamstring) can return to practice next week. But the 49ers don’t have to bring him back then. They also could suffer more injuries at the position in the coming weeks. At the rate things are going, that doesn’t seem farfetched.
Chris K asks via Twitter: Has Jeff Wilson now played his way into Tevin Coleman’s role long term? What does Coleman do that Wilson doesn’t? He’s a tough, physical runner who can do the early game ‘softening up’ that Shanahan liked to have Coleman do last year, and he is obviously a decent receiving back too.
Something I may never quite understand is 49ers fans’ desire to give Coleman the boot. He averaged 4 yards a carry last season, scored six touchdowns and played hurt in the Super Bowl. He has an increased risk for COVID-19 and easily could have opted out in 2020, but he chose to play.
With all that in mind, my guess is that Coleman will retain his spot in the pecking order when he is fully healthy (which may be in a month). Still, Chris’ point is well-taken. Wilson has added bulk over the last two offseasons and runs with real power. He might be better at tenderizing defenses than Coleman. Coleman is a free agent in March. If Wilson continues to deliver, it’s very hard to see Coleman coming back in 2021.
Nicolas L. Hi Matt! The “next man up” model has been working pretty well for the pass rush in the Kyle Shanahan/John Lynch era — it still does so far this year. How much of it is on the management consistently finding great depth pieces and how much of it is on the coaching/scheming?
I’ve been saying since last season that it’s a poetic 50-50 split between personnel and coaching. It just underscores the importance of having cohesion between the two. I know that seems obvious, but that hasn’t always been the case in 49ersland. (See: Baalke, Trent John and Harbaugh, James Joseph.) This personnel staff, from top to bottom, works very closely with the coaches.
Scott H. asks: Do the 49ers have to have a long snapper on the roster? Could they not have an offensive lineman do it like the final snap on Sunday and use the open spot to protect Hasty?
Ha — great minds think alike. I asked Shanahan that exact question Monday. He began his answer by acknowledging that long snapping wasn’t his area of expertise. But he said having an offensive lineman do it was risky because offensive linemen tend to get hurt more often than long snappers.
I spoke to a couple of agents who represent long snappers. They said that the velocity difference, while perhaps not apparent to us (or to Shanahan), definitely is a factor. On a field goal, the two edge defenders swoop in so fast that the ball often is a finger’s length away as it starts its journey. At the end of Sunday’s 36-9 contest, no one was gunning to block the extra point that tackle Justin Skule snapped. If it was a 51-yard attempt to win the game, the Giants would have been doing exactly that.
