I don't know if the numbers reflect it, but it felt like Drake had more snaps than normal last week. Of course, he didn't do anything, but I wonder if he's about to get traded/released.
I doubt it. But he might not be active. Its really between Ferrell and Jackson.
CF is actually playing better. Guess they hold on to Drake just b/c at this point. But time to wash him off the roster. Don't let him just waste a roster spot for year like Kinlaw. I mean they just traded for 2 guys at his position. Cut bait and move on.
To me it's the scheme and play calling. Bosa had a slow start but he's just executing the plays as they're called.
90% of this is on Wilks IMO.
Exactly. Short of Ambry Thomas (no track record of success), I'm forgiving just about every defensive player. They didn't just forget how to play football.
That's a fair point but Wilks is getting too much of the blame and the players aren't getting enough. I was watching jonnydel's youtube live breakdown yesterday and we have players on defense who just keep making bone head mistakes leading to big plays.
Domino effect. Starts with calls, then players doing too much to overcompensate when things aren't working. Just a bad domino effect.
