- Jayir Brown still sucks. The INT was a gift, not a special play or anything. He was responsible for that awful coverage bust late.
- Guerendo suddenly looks better than Mason (more on him in a second). He can get to the edge and he is falling forward seemingly just as much or more than Mason was. He can't block though...
- Mason is pissing me off on a weekly basis. He refuses to hit the hole even when it's right in front of him. I'm absolutely sick of him dancing around at the marker. Go straight ahead and get the first down. I would not be opposed to looking for another UDFA runner and trading him next year because I honestly feel he's been part of the problem costing us over the past 4 weeks.
- Our defense continues to look gassed late in games and unable to get any push in the 4th. What is going on here with their conditioning? We let both Dallas and Seattle back in games with late drives where guys had all day to throw. Conner and Hunt spanked us late in their games against us. This is a huge problem.
- Kyle Shanahan showcased a ton of creativity today, and it helped win us this game when the defense tried to choke it away. Credit given where credit is due.
- Purdy didn't play his best and we are very lucky some of his mistakes didn't hurt us like they could've. He still played mostly well and I'm glad he bounced back decently from last week. That said, while this is better than what we probably would've seen from Jimmy, it wasn't too significantly better.. To me at least. He still has a lot to clean up.
- Cowing needs more snaps over Conley.
- Pay Lenoir ASAP.
Thanks for posting your thoughts.
- Pearsall looks like a really good possession receiver and he's been able to build a rapport with Purdy this quickly despite missing so much time.
- Guerendo is explosive but there are issues there and they're the same with Mason. I don't think either is particularly good in pass protection right now and I think both aren't as good as Mostert or Mcaffery at finding and hitting the holes. If the hole is there Guerendo can explode through it, I wonder about his play recognition. In many cases, both backs appear to be taking the wrong hole at the line of scrimmage.
- The rookies. However this season plays out it seems clear to me that this years draft class has been exceptional. Nobody talks about Puni, why? Because he's so good he becomes invisible, a good trait for a lineman. Green has been good in coverage and Mustapha is making Hufunga expendable. Have to see more of Cowing and Pearsall to pass judgement on them.
- Kittle is arguably the best TE in the game. He can do it all.
Anyway, l believe when the Offense gets some players back they will get their act together. This last draft is looking pretty good so far which is good. Still 9 games left and should get really interesting. I'll leave the knit picking up to the professional arm chair QB and Coaches
