Pay your consistently good players (like Buckner), not your one year wonders.

Still stuck on that one ehh? Move on.

Haha some people were waiving the white flag after Purdy threw his first interception or we lost our first and second games early.

I also believe we should have been playing our rookies earlier. I don't like them never seeing the field bc when you need them it won't work. Like one of Brock's picks was a timing route with Cow. Cow is never in the game. Timing will be off. Duhh!!! Let them play now and get back to running Mason and G.

Nobody stops father time nor the cap.

THIS YEAR:

1) Adjust the offense to include more of the quick game to stretch the defense wider. Who cares if the offense is dink and dunk if it moves the chains. This can help open up the middle for running and potentially provide more chances for deep play action.

2) Utilize Brock's running ability more. That means zone reads and QB RPO on draws. Just make sure he knows to be safe.

3) Scheme up some more creative formations, motions, and misdirection that teams haven't seen before. Especially for short yardage and the red zone. Keeping teams guessing in those situations will make us a lot more unpredictable, more dangerous, and consequentially more effective/successful in those spots.


NEXT YEAR/FUTURE:

1) Fix the weak spots on OL (LG, C, RT). With a shorter QB, you need a beefier interior OL to keep guys out of his face so Brock has lanes more consistently and or more space in front of him so that when he releases it, the ball can be over the heads of the DL/OL instead of the trajectory being cutoff from a shorter distance which leads to more deflections/batdowns. I'd draft a center and OT, and sign competition. I might even try Jaylon Moore at LG if he's brought back. If Feliciano can return, he may be a cheap option at C.

2) Draft a future star at LB and competition at S, along with depth at DE. I like Sam O in the rotation. He's still got upside but needs to learn more moves. We might consider signing a safety for competition too.

3) Put a massive emphasis on acquiring proven talents on special teams in FA and the draft. That means guys who can tackle downfield, and block for returns, but also threats to score on returns.

OK so Brock is running more and Kyle has been a little more creative but we're still not getting enough quick hitters or screens..


To update my list now.. And add to it for the future part..

* FIRE/REASSIGN SORENSEN - I've never seen such situationally awful football on defense. He never seems to have the right answers to get off the field on third down. Especially third and long, which is ridiculous. Red zone, short yardage, and under two minutes we just never stop anyone when we need to. There will be too many guys out there who are upgrades to not bring them in.

* FIRE BRIAN SCHNEIDER - We have by far the worst unit in the league and we've not been good enough for years.

* Cut the dead weight. That means let Deebo go. He's a captain but reminds me of post injury Bowman, just not the same player anymore. Let Banks walk, bench Brendel and McKivitz, and draft their replacements. It's also time to admit Juice isn't doing much to help the offense anymore. I don't think he's blocking as well as he used to and no one's afraid of him split out wide..

* Get more speed at receiver to benefit from an improved OL.

* Get a LOT of help at linebacker. We need two more starting caliber guys ready in the wings. Fred needs help.

* Get Safety competition for Brown.

We need to blow up this team and get rid of dead weight. That means pretty much everyone besides CMC, Bosa, Fred, and Probably Brock. Love me some Kittle but shannahan doesnt use him right. If we can get out of the Deebo contract, DO IT! we're probably stuck with the Ayiuk and Trent contract for a couple of years.

McCaffery is the highest paid running back in the league and looks like he's running in sand right now.

you can't expect players who sit this long and be in top form.. this aint Madden

Trent, Aiyuk and injuries screwed our entire season.. play out the season without any more injuries (knocks on wood) and come back ready for next year
