Evero's scheme is an impediment to excellence from where I'm sitting. It waters everything down from pass rushing to stopping the run.

I don't know that there is a huge difference, but that Scourton got way more opportunities. If you want to say that Umanmielen is more outspoken and brash, then fine. Perhaps a little humbling is in order, but they both need to improve their craft. Hopefully experience will help them to do it, but Evero's scheme doesn't look to be doing either one of them any favors.

Well he's not happy, and he doesn't want to piss off the boss. I hate Evero's scheme with a passion. To me, it's just too spread out, far and in between.

Not sure that age has anything to do with it, as much as the specific injury and situation. No, we shouldn't give up on Ickey, but due to the nature of the injury and statistics regarding the ability to return to football and be as effective, we can't count on him either. What we can do is hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

No to fill-ins. It doesn't work, and Bryce will struggle with turnstiles in front of him. We need to address this in the draft (unless we have some unforseen trade). Days one and two have to be on the table. It's life. It's business. It is what it is.

I said yesterday that I suspect that our pass rush would look a helluva lot better if we went back to a 4-3. The reason why I don't think Evero is some amazing defensive coordinator is because he doesn't put his players in the best position to succeed. He is slow to adapt, if he adapts at all (the same issue that I think Canales has on the offensive side of the ball). We just have to legitimately invest in the defense with some draft capital (like we did last year) and let this play out. Tepper will get tired of it eventually. I hate that we didn't just try to snatch Saleh when we had the chance. Some things are just too obvious.

Four years and 30 mil. No way! Maybe after another couple of seasons.

Hard to believe a Harbaugh-coached team could look so bad.

I mean, Herbert is either getting sacked, pressured, and/or running and over-throwing. This is easily the least satisfying game of the weekend. The Chargers' offense is a dead horse.

I don't know how the Chargers even made it to the dance.

The Chargers O-line is horrible.

Herbert getting pressured, looking rattled, and fumbled again. I understand that the O-line isn't having a good night, but you still have to protect the ball the best you can. When they come, sometimes you have to take the sack to live another day. This has been bad.

Hubbard isn't the problem, if anything it's a lack of a legit passing game. Jonathan Brooks fell way off when Danny Dimes got hurt. When teams just continually stack the box, or simply have stout lines, you can't expect RBs to go off. All that being said, I wouldn't paid Chuba like that either because I see him as more average than anything special. Just another Morgan contract that looked sketchy at the time that have turned out to be relatively bad.

They're big boys that fully understand the dynamics of the game. Just like us, they'll be alright. The worst thing about losing last night was not only losing the game, was losing Ickey. Many repercussions, some that may be long lasting, will happen as a result of his injury.

They were pretty much spot-on...except for that Jacob Coker dude...
