ination pool down to 25 semifinalists and wide receiver Isaac Bruce as well as San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch are among those names. While many are familiar with Lynch as running the team’s front office Patrick Willis Color Rush Jersey , he made a name for himself as a safety in the NFL playing 11 years and winning a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (as part of that historic Tampa-2 defense) and playing also for the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots. Bruce was better known as a wide receiver of the Los Angeles—later turned turned St. Louis—Rams, but finished out his final years in professional football with the 49ers. In the twilight of his career, Bruce still managed to be productive, finishing his first of two seasons with the 49ers with 835 receiving yards. The six other former players of the 49ers that were part of the 102 nominees — Jeff Garcia, Ricky Waters, Brent Jones, Tim McDonald https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Jerick-Mckinnon-Jersey , Bryant Young, and Takeo Spikes — did not make the cut to 25.The next step for the committee is to cut from 25 to 15. That trimming process happens January 3rd, 2019, and then the committee will make their final selections on February 2nd — the day before Super Bowl 53.Sometimes voters only vote one person/position to go into the hall per year for whatever the reason. Bruce has been a semifinalist five times, and joins wide receivers Hines Ward, and Torry Holt. Lynch on the other hand has been a semifinalist seven times and is up against a large group of safeties including the likes of Ed Reed, Steve Atwater DeForest Buckner Jersey , Ronde Barber, LeRoy Butler, and Darren Woodson.Both have convincing arguments to be in the Hall, but Lynch has the harder road — both with depth available and the fact one of them is Ed Reed. The San Francisco 49ers travel to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12, and as expected, they are underdogs for the matchup. The line for the game opened with the Bucs installed as field goal favorites, and it has climbed to 3.5 points at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.Earlier this week Garry Gilliam Color Rush Jersey , the Westgate SuperBook listed the 49ers as a five-point underdog in their lookahead line. The official line opened two points lower, likely due to the Bucs news coming out of their loss to the New York Giants. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was a disaster, throwing three interceptions and getting benched in the third quarter. Jameis Winston came on and threw two touchdown passes and an interception.It seems likely Winston gets the start against the 49ers, and I don’t imagine the line changes a whole lot. Considering the 49ers lost to the Giants last week, I’m not sure what would inspire people to lay sizable money on them. And while Fitzpatrick has had some upside this year, Winston still seems like the safer player who could be a little more consistent. This game could be an ugly one regardless.
