Should have just sneaked it. Thomas can get you one yard.

Probably looked a lot better on paper.

As they pointed out on the broadcast, Inman has to make his block here.

^^ if you arent checking out Mark Bullock's twitter feed the day after a game, you are missing out. He dissects plays with succent video.



I thought Allen had a pedestrian non-impact game .. watching Bullocks twitter, Allen is very impactful.

Nice, thanks for sharing the link!

I thought the same thing. At this point I would use Thomas in most of 1-2 yard situations, he can throw too and that creates another complication for defenses.

Oh yeah, that call on Moreland was 100% BS, great play by him.

Just re-watched the condensed version, one quick side note:

On the 4th and 1 by the Steelers where Bostic is late to line up in front of his guy, I thought heard somebody shout "Hey JB JB !" to make him realize he was leaving his guy uncovered before the snap. Then he gets in there just in time and the young RB can't adjust to the throw.

The guy who yelled was Holcomb. Good to have young guys with that kind of awareness. Throw that on top of all the good plays Holcomb made!

He can tweet nice things all he wants but he cant play quarterback. We need to address the position for next year.

We’ll see, don’t be surprised if Rivera gives him a second chance. I’m with you rather see Wilson or Lance as our next QB.

He covers the WFT for The Athletic. Not trying to plug for The Athletic here but they do some fantastic coverage and breakdowns, I reupped for the second year because I haven't seen coverage like this since Gtripp used to do his breakdowns here.

Even if you don't want to pay for the Athletic Bullock's twitter is a must-follow. When you can breakdown a players performance with film or pictures to back it up it makes a world of difference.

My off-the-cuff prediction is Rivera is just talking Haskins up in the media to increase his trade value. Only way Haskins is here next year is if Ron can't get his guy through draft/trade/FA.

The Atlantic has an individual writer for every team? That's awesome. That's ESPN quantity. We're lucky to have Keim too. We get great national coverage guys.

Really not trying to plug The Athletic here, but they have several people covering the WFT. Rhiannon Walker, Mark Bullock, and Ben Standig.

Agreed on Keim as well. I don't trust many, but Keim, Finlay, and The Athletic people all generally have my respect.

In other news, Ron says Mountain Dew and Taco Bell helped him through his cancer treatments. Also had some good insight on how brutal his treatments were. Hope that's the last he has to go through that.

Mike Tomlin told Chase Young he hopes he never loses enough games to be in a position to draft guys like him. I hope Ron isn't either.

I agree with that. Might be able to get Wilson, Trask or Mac Jones. not sold on Lance... A lot will have to with what Smith decides - he could retire or he could play another year.

Might be able to pcik up a serviceable free agent if we don't draft one..

Good stuff from Baldy, including one of the biggest plays of the game, Logan Thomas recovering McKissics fumble caused by Watt.
