I know our defense has given up a ton of yards to the running backs, and I know this might not mean much because it is what it is. However, if Decoud didn't have an awful angle to give up that huge run to Gio, he would have had a very mediocre day.

 

Without that huge run Gio looks like:

 

17 carries, 48 yards, 0 tds

 

That is 2.8 yards a carry.

 

We also held Jeremy Hill to 2.7 yards a carry.

 

 

So maybe our defense isn't as bad as stated by the media, and maybe you shouldn't be so giddy about starting a fantasy running back against this D.

If you don't wrap Lacey up and take bad angles like they've been doing on those long runs he's gonna go beast mode idc how much you think Lacey lacks in the speed dept.

True, and a 4.44 sec. 40 time isn't exactly slow by any stretch.  Especially when you weigh 230 lbs.

Rivera actually said this in his presser. He told the journalists not to lose sight of the improvement. He called it that "one play".

It's like do you want to get hit in the face with a hammer or a baseball bat. 

 

 

This is my main concern with the defense.. we get people in ideal 3rd and 7+ yard conditions and can't seem to get them off the field.   When we get pressure good things happen.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
