Who should start opposite of Sherman: Witherspoon or Moseley?

I wanted Spoon out after that TD, but it was great coverage. Ball was way under thrown and Diggs just made a great play on it. Had it been thrown well, probably a pick.

This isnt a question is it?

Mosley has to start.

Shouldn't be any question - Moseley starts going foward.

Spoon was given enough rope last night... Mosely is now the starter. If Spoon starts again, I cannot anything other than believe he has some dirt on shanny, lynch or Salah that cant get out

Spoon in on obvious run situations, E-Man in on obvious pass. they are "co-starters" and split the position

spoon does not deserve to start for any reason

Paragraph 10...he's been playing like it 💩

Haha. Trick question. With Moseley out there we are almost unbeatable. And I think we win the Super Bowl. But Witherspoon is so profoundly bad that he can single handedly prevent us from it. There is no doubt about it. He is that bad.

A good team could audible at the line if they see #23 in and throw his way. We need to commit to Mosely

EM - not even close.

Spoons coverage skills aren't bad. He just has no field awareness and no ball skills. That td he gave up to Diggs easily could have been an int if he just turned around and located the damn ball. It was like night and day with EMann out there instead of spoon.

I think the 49ers may go with the same equation. Witherspoon starts. But he's on a short leash. The moment he gives up the big play, E-Man gets the call.

Don't pull the plug on Witherspoon. Don't destroy the man's confidence, which is already shaken. As Shanahan explained last night, Witherspoon is going through a tough period. The team cannot allow him to "play through it" and get better, not at this stage. But I would not just bench this guy and write him off. He played well early in the season. His confidence is shaken. He will get better.

Remember this: Raheem Mostert came to the 49ers with a fumbling problem. He could not hold onto the ball. But Shanahan showed confidence in the kid and Raheem got better. He worked at it. He's now one of our best backs. Look at Breida as an example. Breida did not fumble. Period. He was the most reliable of our running backs. But in the past 4-5 games? He hasn't been reliable. Do we just cut the dude or bench him? No, we continue to show faith in him by giving him limited touches until he gets through this tough spot.

I firmly believe Breida is going to play a key role for this team either next week, or if we advance, in the biggest game of the year. I also believe Witherspoon will play a key role for this team going forward. We just don't give up on our guys. Shanahan believes in all of them.

lol Moseley is the better tackler.

At this point, it's unfair to Moseley if they don't start him. He has outplayed spoon by a mile, and it's obvious to everyone. He has came in cold off the bench two games in a row. Not sure what else the guy has to do
