"Didnt look as bad when using a terrible camera angle."

Cool.

lol way to misrepresent me

How is it misrepresenting you? There is an endzone camera angle, which you have seen already, that shows how terrible this was by Mitchell. Then you post a screenshot from a bad camera angle, and say it didnt look that bad. The only one misrepresenting anything is you here, sir.

it doesnt because of the camera angle

then i posted the trent richardson image as to what it looks like from the endzone angle

It just dawned on me that Elijah Mitchell is literally a carbon copy of Chris Thompson, a guy the Shanahans drafted in Washington. I've been trying to figure out who he reminds me of, but I couldn't put my finger on it until now. I didn't even realize it was that Chris Thompson that 49ers signed a few weeks back and then released a week later. Thompson was such a good player before he tore his ACL, especially as a receiving RB.

He good.

He was brainwashed into "one cut" he hadn't taken a cut yet so...

lol

This guy should be getting the rock 16 times a game, not Lance. Feed him. Feed Sermon too if you wanna change it up. Get rid of the design QB runs.

I do agree with giving the backs the ball more, but keep runs to about 5 a game for Trey. Either way, it should give him favorable looks as a passer.

Mitchell is a beast and there was talk in other threads how Shanahan should stay out of the draft.

pay no attention its the same guy who plots quarterbacks by breakfast cereal and morning beverage.

From a recent presser with Mitchell.

"I go back and watch film and say, 'Man, if I would have made this cut, or if I bounced it outside, it could have been a big play.' I just try to go into every week trying to fix that and just play ball," Mitchell added. "It makes me sick to my stomach when I see stuff like that. I try every week to keep going and make the right cut next time."

He must have watched that excellent cut up that Jonnydel did of the 97 yard drive against Philly. I have to say that has been one of my favorite breakdowns of Jonny's. So informative.

The offensive line is not the issue

Having inexperienced running backs carrying the load is the real problem pic.twitter.com/3FvIv8hKvc

They might be fifth in blocking but I believe they're 22nd in yards per play. That is a testament to how good Mostert and Wilson are and that you can't just stick any running back in there and expect them to do well. They need to make the right cuts and reads but they don't. Even Mitchell he's good, but he has admittedly made a couple of mistakes.
