And here he is coaching of all things, and getting paid – What, something around 5 mil. While here we sit.

Alex Smith is so bad he doesn’t even count as a one way player.

Remember Troy Brown, WR of the New England Patriots. When BB asked him if he could help out on the defense due to injuries, Brown replied ” I’m a football player coach put me where you need me.” Brown also excelled at special team play.

i think that is why he chose San Francisco….because everybody there pretty much swings both way….although the preference is young boys

I’m sure the player safety police will LOVE having a guy line up for twice as many snaps as usual.

This obviously doesn’t work in the NFL and is purely a gimmick

“Is he the 49ers one or the Ravens one?”

The picture of him wearing 49′ers gear might offer a clue.

People are forgetting the only other NFL coach who likes players who cab play on both offense and defense.. Bill Bellichick. Anyone remember a guy named Mike Vrabel? Pretty good player. Used in key situations in red zone offense. Love the jokes, but in all seriousness, Harbaugh seems like he’s got a plan. Definitely needs a couple years to get the right players though.

He did not say he like two-way players, he said he likes players who go both ways; they connect better with the fan base in San Fran.

Someone had to give it a shot.

This story annoyed me 2 days guys when I read it on one of the beat writer’s blogs. My immediate thought was…its amateur hour in Santa Clara. If a player isn’t good enough to start at one position or play special teams, no point in trying him at a position on the other side of the ball. In college it can work, but not at this level…it usually only happens in emergencies. Those reps should be going to the actual starter or back-ups.

Harbs gets a free pass as I’m not going to beat up a new coach in his first year, but this doesn’t instil confidence in me that they know what they are doing, but that’s nothing new around here.

I love me an iron man and I think it’s about time the NFL got on board

Of course “starting” a guy on both sides of the ball
Should result in a double salary at his position(s)!

Having non football skills like first aid, massage therapy, cart driving, custodial duty, field maintenance, etc. immeasurably improves a player’s chances of making the roster as well. Eliminating the need for costly support staff.
