So...with Olsen out Ian Thomas had been the starter...anyone want to tell me why he had less snaps than Manhertz? Less targets too..

The only thing I can figure is that his route miscommunications that led to two INTs vs. the Giants led to him getting leapfrogged by the vet.

    I would say it has something to do with the 2 miscommunications with Cam last week. Rookies make mistakes, but 2 in 1 game? And in crucial situations. (Yeah, we're watching you DJ.) Although they let DJ make amends for his mistakes. So it is interesting they did not let Thomas make up for his.

 

    Or...in b4 "Rivera hates him some rookies".

Could it be that Greg Olsen is the catching TE is back and hence Ian THomas who is also a catching TE is on the bench, Manhertz is the blocking TE, 

yea,this is what i was thinking.  We use second TE for blocking

Rivera said that young talent was not on the field due to "schemes."  So weaponry like Thomas and Samuel rode the pine while Manhertz and Wright failed to achieve mediocrity. 

I  was very happy to see us go back to Moore  after the fumbles.  Steve Smith, as a rookie, had 8 fumbles--we lost 3 of them. The following 2 seasons, he fumbled 5 times each season.  After that, he averaged just over 1 fumble per season for the next 13 years.

Yes, I remember that.  It was definitely a wtf moment.  I guess they were thinking it would surprise the defense, but imo, might as well throw it to me.  

 

Yeah, like how Shula would line Cam up at WR once a game and the RB would take a direct snap for a two yard loss. They'll never see it coming!

What fuging scheme? And what team in the NFL sits there playmakers do to scheme for a game? 

So Torrey Smith is more suitable for most schemes in the nfl then curtis samuel?? 

Its really becoming harder and harder to take serious the bull poo that comes out Riveras mouth. He blamed the damn weather too. .......GTFOH

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
