trying to figure this out...the Clay pass was a busted play and the Shady touchdown was incredible athleticism by McCoy....so was Tyrod's play actually very good or was it illusory?Ilov80s said:
I'm not sure why the Clay pass being a busted play would be a negative. Wouldn't Tyrod being able to turn a busted play due to a blitz into a huge pass downfield actually be evidence that he is good?
Not saying it was a negative....just that it was a trivial play for him to roll out and hit a wide open clay.
DB racing from the blindside, Tyrod 360s and escapes breaking the DBs ankles. Then rolls out to his left and drops a dime down field. He had a nice throw on the run rolling right. His throw to McCoy was really nice as the defender had him pretty well covered. Tyrod put the ball in a spot where nobody but McCoy had a chance.
That's kind of my thinking too...
That's why I said CONDITIONAL!!! A team like the Pats who apparently have a bunch of no bodies running the ball while Lewis is going to miss at least the first 6 or so weeks of the season would be a good addition I feel.bicycle_seat_sniffer said:
I kind of doubt they could have got anything for him, too. And, I would be astonished if Whaley didn't call around.

I have that same optimism. The offense has the ability to put up some points this year. The OL hasn't been changed and while it wasn't good, hopefully another year with Kromer will get them playing to a decent level. There are some injuries and suspensions to our front 7, but our secondary has looked good. Darby was a surprise as a rookie and played great. Gilmore is looking excellent so far this pre-season, he wants that money. Graham is solid and while Aaron is out, Duke Williams has looked sharp and the light bulb has come on.
I've read this a few times, and I don't understand it. They had the number one rushing offense last year. Why do people think their OL wasn't any good?

They have a very, very good left side with Glenn & Incognito and a underrated C in Wood but the right side is well below average. The right side had a rookie guard and many injuries to contend with last year (including Henderson playing with Crohn's disease before it was diagnosed). IF the right side can be consistent and average, it will be a huge lift for the offense.
I agree but at the same time, this will make him the perfect swing tackle backup. In the event of an injury to Glenn, he would be the next best option at LT and it wouldn't even be close.
Yeah, when I heard that in the pre-game, I was a bit surprised. Personally, what are the odds of getting hurt playing two quarters? Pretty low. By the sounds of things on the radio, they haven't sounded too sharp...
Don't you think all the inuries and suspensions played into it? I just think the importance of August play is way overstated and mostly a money grab by owners.Grigs Allmoon said:
Yeah, the more I thought about it, the more I'm ok with Rex's decisions to bubble wrap the key guys. They already have a ton of injuries and managed to pile up more of them in that game. When you look around the league at all of the injuries that crop up in meaningless games, it seems silly to risk your best players much. I'll take a little rust over missing a huge chunk of the season.
My real question is how that's a clean hit yet Lorenzo Alexander's sack of Cousins where he wrapped him up just below the waist is a 15 yard roughing the passer penalty.
It's possible. The other possibility is that they go into the season even more injury prone due to not being in "game shape."
Holy crap. They cut Lawson? He had a heck of game though, and we're thin on edge rushers. WTF?
He had a good game against backups. I'm not sure the reasoning behind this one since they're so light at LB right now. Perhaps it was a salary cap move. They also cut Felton but that doesn't save the team a ton of money (actually gives them a sizable dead money hit in the future).
Felton really didn't get utilized that much. Didn't seem to make much sense to keep him at his salary. I believe he was the highest paid FB in the league and didn't see much action. Gronk did okay running in the wishbone last night against the backups. He doesn't have the big frame needed at TE with Gragg going down. I'm guessing they like his flexibility and cheap salary.
I am curious about Jerome Felton. Why did he not make the cut?
If Rex won't talk, there's a reason for it.GroveDiesel said:
Jumbled mess from a fantasy perspective (if that's where you're going with the question). How I see it:
I have to put some stock in the depth chart, though. Have we forgotten that Bush does have talent & is more than capable?Steve Tasker said:
he had 12 touches in 5 games with the Niners last year and is coming off an injury. Gillislee came into camp as a little bit of an afterthought with the rest of these pieces - despite solid end-of-season performances last season - and quickly established himself as the #2 behind McCoy. He was running with the 2s for most of camp before suffering a concussion in week 2 of the preseason and sitting out the last 2 games.
Probably. But I believe Walt Powell is more deserving of it based on this off-season/pre-season.
