Well that was because our Guards got stood up badly on those plays. I remember hearing the commentators speak of it. Hopefully Turned will be solid on the line. 4th and 1? I would take that gamble almost everytime depending on how the oline will hold up.

Wharton fell down and tripped Tolbert on one play that would have been a TD otherwise. It was just unusually ugly at the goal-line in that game.

is the question, since we have turner will the conversion be automatic on 4th and 1, or will the attempting of it be an automatic "yes"?

 

i say no to an automatic conversion (but chances increase because of turner), but pretty much yes to the decision....it should just be a given that in that situation we go for it.

I think Wharton also caused Cam to miss a sure-fire TD run.

 

 

He picked a bad time to have his worst game.

Yep ... if you are talking about the 49ers game ... our OGs (I believe Scott was one of them) fired out of their stance very low and got no push.  It almost looked like a cut block.  I wondered if it was by design or did they just get stuffed.  Either way, they got NO push.

 

To answer Zod's question, if we continue to telegraph plays and cram 11 guys between the hash marks, hoping our 11 will push back their 11, we'll get stuffed again.  Not going to work no matter who we have playing OG.  IMO, given our weapons, I would like to see 3 or 4 WR sets with a single tailback (Tolbert).  Spread the defense out and let Cam audible at the line (sneak, dive, zone read or play action).  Cam, Tolbert and hopefully Turner will win the individual battles.

      At least Rivera got the Super Bowl, and then lost is because he refused to adjust.  Rod’s likely will never get to the Stanley Cup unless the team he coaches is stacked and can overcome Rods weird decisions making.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      We've literally seen him hop around the pocket to survey the field in multiple occurrences. Defenses have this on tape. Cam and QB's like him built the way he was height and strength wise could get by on those natural gifts in their prime. Bryce Young is unequivocally going to have to go above and beyond with his footwork in order to carve out not just a long career but an elite career worthy of a top overall draft selection. We should be able to wholeheartedly agree with one another on that. Intermediate sideline throws without placing the ball out of bounds where the receiver has to contort themselves or make an absurd acrobatic catch for it to be a completion. And yes developing a better chemistry in the deep passing game with his receivers to avoid miscues. Both areas will need to see improvement if the young offense is to develop the way we hope in 2025. And we don't necessarily need to be winning mind you. But development of the supporting cast requires this from Bryce. We have invested a ton of capital in the offensive line. We've invested heavily in WR. We've invested in our backfield. We've invested in TE. We've got a young up and coming offensive minded head coach. The expectation should be for our redzone efficiency to improve significantly. That is not just on Bryce Young. But at the end of the day it will always begin and end with him more often than not. It's always been that way and that's just the nature of the position in this league. And not for nothing but before we drafted Bryce Young nobody was going around here saying we need elite play across the board and top shelf coaching for him to be effective. His biggest selling point was his ability to succeed off script and make something out of nothing. We're certainly going to have to see that come to fruition. Now we wait.
