Do you know a team that runs the football plays good D and works hard for their coach

I do.... they are known as the San Francisco 49ers and after many years of mediocrity they have finally broken out. They are coached by one of the best defensive players to ever play the game who came in and dismantled any prima donas on the team (see the Vernon Davis of two years ago and this years version). A team that runs the ball, plays physical D and wins out the grinders so far. A team that is doing all this without their top 10 pick this year because of not buckling in and handing this immature baby money that he is not slated for. A team that will only get better next year with a two first rounders (one of them being a top 10 pick) next year.

either way I am thoroughly impressed with the 49ers

I am too, but I temper that feeling a little bit.

If you don't get results, the "intense, in-your-face" act can have a short shelf-life. You can only give so many Knute Rockne speeches before the players eventually start thinking "I've seen this movie already."

For every Bill Cowher, there's a Ray Rhodes. At this point, Singletary could still turn out to be either one. I'm leaning positive, but the other is still possible.

Looking at the clip, on first glance it seems Singletary didn't put enough guys back into coverage to protect against the Hail Mary. Coaches normally have a boatload of guys back to knock the pass down. I saw only two in the vicinity of the receiver.

Will have to see the clip again to be sure, but if it's so Singletary and his DC need to take some blame for this loss.

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I think Ransom will be a solid player for us.  He played beside Caleb Downs, the cornerstone of the Ohio State defense last year and some have him as a top 5 pick for the 2026 draft.  He was characterized as the smart, instinctive, versatile safety.   I just don't think S will be a liability unless we have injuries.  I am very interested in seeing what they have in the three UDFA safeties; I see one making the roster. As for CB, I think they are higher on Wade-Smith than most of us are. Again, depth is a concern.  We have to hope Jackson has another solid season and Horn does not injure his leg or toe on one of the yard lines.   I am not sure I would compare it to last season's DL because this year's DL will cover a lot of deficiencies, but I know what you mean---our weak link.

      Dan Morgan on Rich Eisen show

      Lol.  Now you make me defend DG. We had the best IOL in the league under DG and Oher looked solid until he got that bad concussion. DG drafted Moton and Daryl Williams as well. The OL fell apart under Hurney 2.0 and Fitterer. DG also drafted Star and Short. Sorry, but that was all in 5 drafts so let’s not make stuff up about not trying to improve hog mollies. Gettleman did a ton wrong and took the wrong guys, but he and Rivera had a deep and talented team and it got blown up really quickly. Also, I love Cam but he wasn’t the best QB in the league. He had the best year in 2015 but he wasn’t Brady. I think Dan has had a solid offseason, way better than last year but I’m not putting on rose colored glasses until we actually have a 10 win season. Again, Dave and Ron had 3 10+ wins seasons out of 5.

      Yeah I wont often comment on a coddled generation and participation trophies but this sort of begs for it. Also how did an athlete achieve at that level without getting a thicker skin?
