Other new titles:

Jeff Nixon is now listed as "Assistant Head Coach, Offense". Al Holcomb has the same title on the defensive side. Not sure if that ranks them above the coordinators or not (wouldn't think so but...)

Terrance Knighton is now the Assistant Defensive Line Coach (was a coaching assistant before).

This honestly just seems like a “too many cooks in the kitchen” type of scenario waiting to happen. Why do you need all of these people? Football has never had this much input and teams have been successful. I know these guys want to be “CEOs” but football isn’t THAT complicated.

I played a LOT of football, never jumped rope.  Not saying it's wrong, just that I had never done it, nor had I seen a lot of players in the NFL do it either...again, not saying that they don't, just that I've never seen it that I can recall.

In HS FB they had us jump rope for 5 min every damn day in off season workouts

Reporter Question:

Coach.... (did not hear name) said, you are closer to be NFL ready, more than some analysts gave you before the draft. Were do you feel that you stand. How close of being an NFL ready, compete for starring job with Darnold?

Matt C answer: 

All it comes down to is knowing the playbook. If I just can know the playbook I will be ready to play. And as far as, uhm, you know, be a starter. That's not my, of course my mentality is to be a starter but right now. I am trying to get on the 53 man roster. 

 

 

My take...

People really want him to replace Darnold.  But this is kind of ridiculous, even from journalists. He is a third round pick. This behavior is just setting him up to fail expectations. Yes I know, be ready and compete. Compete hard and let us all scream, the American way. Yada. I don't think throwing the whole franchise on his shoulders and expecting him to be able to carry it from day one is the best way forward. I hope he settles in good and can win the job. But give him time.

If he can learn the playbook you start him.   If he fails he fails if not we are good.   Letting a 3rd rounder sit if he is ready to play is stupid

Yep. If he knows it then you have to give him live game experience. If he sucks then we grab a replacement next year. If he gets better each game and looks like something at the end of the season, then we roll with him.

      Seahawks or Rams

      By Pantherxtreme · Posted

      I was playing around with the ESPN playoff predictor and it shows if 49ers and Rams finish with same record, the Rams hold the tiebreaker.

      This is my thinking as well. Seattle played as good as they could on defense and Panthers still had a chance until those back to back turnovers.  I don't think the Rams played particularly well in their game against us, alot things went our way in order to win.  Someone pointed out the Rams were bad on the east coast road games and Seattle has been the better road team but they just fought a hard contested game against the Panthers, and now they travel to San Fran this week for their biggest game of the season to determine the division and if they are the overall #1 seed in the NFC or will be traveling for the Wildcard weekend.  If they lose they then travel back cross the country to play a team they've just beaten two weeks ago, not saying they won't be favored against the Panthers but the energy of hosting our first playoff game in 10 years along with the get back effect of having just lost to this team could be huge.
