Obviously, not ideal, but you know what this team has done all season? Raise the level of play from players who aren't exactly household names. When you have players/leaders like TD, Luke, CJ, JNo, KK, Star, etc. marginal players look better and play better. These guys on the defense will be challenged, but also remember that we don't have to win games 16-13. Our offense is potent and can win us ball games.

With McClain coming in and probably calling up Lou Young, what are everyone's thoughts as far as playing time and how we handle this? Besides the thought of...fug.

Rivera has said himself they'll just use more base defense. The extra snaps go to Shaq, who was drafted specifically so we didn't have to depend on the nickel as much.

Last year's Super Bowl MVP was a UDFA CB playing behind a good front 7 whose offense could put up points.

Samey-same here. Good front 7 with an offense that can put up points.

Yawn.

Brady was actually the MVP, but point made. Butler came out of nowhere, won the game for them and this year he is a top CB.

Y'all remember 2013 went 12-4 with substandard secondary? Yeah, front 7 pulls weight, its gonna hurt but we are a stronger team than to just fall apart.

That team also got booted first round out of the playoffs... Not a great example.

Malcolm Butler has nothing to do with our situation. He played well for the Patriots but Lou Young and Mclain are different players on a different team. Last year we lose in the playoffs due to busted coverage. Bene got burnt and every time we blitzed Wilson had an open guy. He picked on Tre Boston too. This year we will have the crowd on defense but in a tight game you would be a fool to feel confident with these guys coming in. One of the reasons we are so successful is continuity.

      Remaining Schedule

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      So we have a pretty tough schedule for the remainder of the season.  I believe I saw where it's the toughest remaining schedule in the league.  To even think about the playoffs we IMO have to, at minimum, win three of the remaining six.  49ers - We will have to play an amazing game to win this one.  We are down to backups at LB (at least for now) and Kittle is probably going to have a big day.  CMC must not go off on us.  PFF had a pregame analysis and actually the two guys running the show were split on who wins.  They even said it was disrespectful to the Panthers to be 7pt underdog.  Evero is going to have to have a great gameplan.   I'm on the fence but this game is in SF and I think we lose. Rams - We're at home that is about the only advantage I see in this game.  LA is one of the best offenses in the league and I just don't think we have the firepower to beat them.  The only way we win is if we can control the clock and keep LA's offense off the field. Saints - We have to go into this game on a mission.  WE HAVE TO WIN THIS GAME.  Hopefully, Canales has a better gameplan and we win.  This is a very winnable game. TB x 2 - The only chance, IMO, of winning the NFCS is we have to win both games.  Many talking heads say TB is faltering some and can be had.  By week 15 and 17 we should be hitting on all cylinders.  If we win, it's going to have to be a pretty mistake free. Seahawks - they have a very tough defense, and I think we get shut down.  Our only hope is to pressure Darnold into mistakes like he did this past weekend with 4 INTs.  As with the Rams we are going to have to keep this a low scoring game. My hope is  49ers- Win Rams - Loss Saints - Win Bucs@Home - Win Seattle - Loss Bucs@TB - Loss 9-8 Record My Fear 49ers-Loss Rams-Loss Saints-Win Bucs@home - Loss Seahawks - Loss Bucs@TB - Loss 7-10 record

      With Motons deal (stupid), Hunt, Lewis and Mayes and Icky upcoming our line is going to be the most expensive again in the nfl.   Its going to be an interesting snap shot if this type of team building works.

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      We have an easy out after this season with marginal dead cap. Could be smart given the situation and RB landscape.  This part isn’t at you—but in general: None of these guys are world beaters — sure they have been great for us at times but I just hope we don’t get this emotional investment paired with financials. I don’t think we need to teget all antsy about keeping Dowdle when he’ll be 28 next year. I don’t mind just continuously taking a stab in the late rounds every year on one.  We should not be investing in one guy in particular when they’re not really a game breaker. See: Sanders, Hubbard, etc.  I’d say heck yes, take a shot at a guy high up if you’re convinced you’ve landed a Gibbs or Taylor level, but otherwise, don’t invest, don’t get emotional about a 3-4 game stretch. Reset and see what type of committee you can construct with fresh legs.
