Stout Defense

Recommended Posts

I know lot of doom and gloom but i want to give a big praise to the defense!

Here are few listings through 2 games

#1 in ypg with 196.5

#3 in pass ypg given up, 6th in rush ypg given up, tied 6th for sacks

and to me maybe most impressive stat 1 of 6 for 4th down attempts give up.

also stats of note we are tied 5th in penalties and at 0 with turnover differential.

Is that only after the 1st game?  SF went 1 for 4 on 4th just last week.  This week I know we stopped two 4th down attempts (one mid game, one at the end of the game) and gave up none.

Would like to see the defense coming up with more turnovers...but that's just being nitpicky as hell with the way they've played so far. 

No i agree as well. We seem to get pressure but no turnovers. I think it is side effect of wilks defense. Less turnovers but more aggressive and more stability.

It is more likely we played two teams who stuck to the run despite being behind. Playing more aggressive offenses will lead to more turnovers.

it is a great defense and if we can get Worley to play in the same zipcode as his receiver is we'll do even better.  

This is my first negative comment on Worley but he was playing so far off the receiver my freaking grandmother (whose been dead over 20 yrs) could get open on Worley.    Good God they almost came back on us because of his super soft coverage.

This game reminded me of 4 years ago in Buffalo.  We had the game till the last freaking play and blew it.   If that pass to Zay Jones was a 1/2 inch shorter and we are looking at first and goal with Tyrod Taylor scrambling to beat us.  Deja Vu all over again.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
