It also goes to show you that DE's are a dime a dozen.. Yeah Watt is special and Bosa is too but they are rare... Look at Preston Smith, he's doing a fine job in GB after not doing much here.. Sweat and Young let that "sack bros" shit get to their heads and got lazy.

Re: 2 In a Row - Post-game Thread
 

I still think the potential for this defense is way higher with C Young and M Sweat. They just have to buy in and do their jobs like MTK said.

No doubt. Hopefully being away from the game for a while now helps them both see things differently and fine tune their approach.

Hopefully Cosmi broke the 2nd round draft pick curse.

Have to go back 20 years since anyone has had an immediate impact (Smoot and Jansen)

[quote=Chief X_Phackter;1300507]Yeah, I feel like that Denver game was definitely one that we should have had. That kicker signing was terrible, but I'm not going to throw too much shade towards RR for that. Sometimes dudes have great tryouts/workouts, only to find out they just can't replicate it in games. He tried to address the position, and it didn't work out with Blewitt. He recognized that, and tried again. Hopefully Slye is the guy.[/quote]

You can give him a pass,I'm not.Blewitt has never kicked in a regular season game in the NFL,hell I don't even know if he attempted any kicks in preseason! Plus the dude wasnt even that good in college,WTF?!! RR getting no pass from me

Yeah, he gets a pass from me. No win situation. I'm not saying I liked how it worked out, but I would have liked it less had he done nothing. The whole world wanted, and knew we needed, a change at kicker, and apparently Blewitt was the best available. He tried, and it didn't work out.

On to Cincinnati...

Side note, I'd like to watch the All 22 of the past to game focusing on our DBs. I get the sense WJ3 and Fuller have played way better.

Re: 2 In a Row - Post-game Thread
 

The win was a nice rebuttal to Steve Smith’s comment about heart this week. They showed a lot of it. Both sides of the ball.

McLaurin is rapidly becoming my favorite player ever. He’s a stud, but his interviews reflect a thoughtfulness and class that is so sorely missing from the game these days. I love that his TD celebration was a nod to a Chase Young who used to do that dance in college.

Right there with you. And my favorite player ever is Gary Clark. A nice passing of the torch from 1 WR to another. But he can't have the title until we extend him for another 4-5 years.

I'm trying to forget about Gibson fumbling again. He is too talented to keep doing that. He didn't get lots of carries at Memphis, mostly played WR, so I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt. I like how he ran angry in the 2nd half.

That was awesome. Riddick was like I have a chance with this sp....oh shit that hurt.

Flowers is a really good football player when he plays for Washington. Very cool to be where someone actually plays better for us than other teams. Hopefully we can keep him and Wes.

Where I think it's a not that hard to fix fumbling issue is that he doesn't cover the ball with both hands when in traffic. He just has to be coached to do so. It's not like he just has weak hands or anything.

Yeah, he's a grown ass man. It's a technical issue, not a physical issue. But it has to be fixed. I think he can and really hope he does, for selfish purposes for our team and because he seems like a great guy, that clearly is an NFL player, if he fumbles at a league average.

Flowers has been playing really well for us for sure ! But as I told you guys this offseason, from what I watched he played very well for the Dolphins too. This was mainly a cap related trade.

Didn't he have zero fumbles last year? Need to take that into account.

I think that was me ... I said I thought Schweitzer played slightly better than Flowers in 2020. They both good PFF grades in 2020 I think. Im still a slight Schweitzer over Flowers guy but I wasnt against the move at all. Phins ate like 6M in cap, we got a steal in Flowers. Im a firm believer you need at least 8 starter able OL guys bc that unit has so much attrition.

Just hope we dont give him 10M per at season end.

-----------------------------------

Daron Payne ... seems to be less impactful as the games go on. he got a half sack to end the game but PFF has him down to a 59.4 and that matches the eye ball test.

Seems we picked the right DL to pay.

Payne is more of run stuffer than all-round player like Allen.

I'm surprised we haven't seen Matty make plays lately like he used to before he got injured last year. I believe this year is Matty's last year of the contract so we will need to make a decision between Matty and Settle if we want to resign one of them.

[QUOTE=nonniey;1300631]Didn't he have zero fumbles last year? Need to take that into account.[/QUOTE]

Also worth noting the nature of the fumbles. Getting hit almost immediately after the handoff isn't the same situation as going into contact. You're still securing the ball after the handoff, so it's the weakest point to be hit. But losing the ball consistently when going into the line/a tackle, indicates a problem. He's listed joint #1 with fumbles amongst RB's (5,Singletary), which isn't a good stat line. But as Frenchie says it should be fixable if he learns. He seems to be a learner to date.

- 286 ypg (would be 2nd in NFL)
- 76 rush ypg (would be 1st in NFL)
- 210 pass ypg (would be top six in NFL)
- 21 ppg (would be top ten in NFL)

This defense has been really good, they should have beat both GB and DENVER to be honest. Especially Denver

I just had a look at the 2021 WFT prediction thread. I knew my 11 and 6 prediction was optimistic. And it's virtually impossible now.

But at 4 and 6, and with our remaining opponents being the Seahawks and Raiders, both teams struggling lately, and division rivals, it doesn't feel nearly as bad as it did before the Packers game when I was the first to say "we're not winning another game this year"...

Week to week league, from now on to week 18, anything is possible each and every week. I'd say 9 and 8 is our updated kool aid ceiling, but it feels great to have a season again !

If he keeps that up he's gonna see his playing time dwindle.

Kid is talented but it doesn't mean shit if he can't hang onto the ball. It's a good way to find yourself cut.
