Think Snow will defend his run D after today?

I mean did literally anyone think Cleveland wouldn’t run all over us?

This would've been the 2nd most rushing yards and the 2nd highest yards per carry that we gave up last year when we had a D built to rush the passer with stopping the run a complete afterthought. We focused on building a defensive roster that could better stop the run and this was the result.

It’s also D playcalling, we continued those cute 5/6 DB formations, Brown was doing nothing and Iannidis looked awful. Like, we should’ve at least tried to employ a 4 man front of our best defenders with 3 LBs at minimum w Chinn in the box. The defense made no sense today.

Seems like I heard there was supposed to be an emphasis on creating turnovers.   Don't remember seeing any of those.  I do think Snow is over his head here.  But I will give the D credit...despite being on the field most of the game...they were playing well enough to win in the 2nd half...just could not overcome the refs.

Not their fault Snow rushed 4 and played zone when it was obvious blitzing worked when they tried it

    • Oh, I get it. I called him Peewee for the first couple of years. He is too small to be an NFL QB. It wasn't as much of a problem in college, even in the SEC, because every player in the NFL is the size and speed of the biggest 22 on your entire college team.  I was left scratching my head over the pick and what we traded to get him (and yes, that cost analysis is unavoidable). Now we're sunk into the third season and the kid just popped a frikkin' amazing game out there where he showed every mark of what you need in a top end QB. Great passing, mobility, guts, toughness (that ankle must have been killing him) and the ability to put a team on his back to claw back a win. He didn't win it with his arm so much as by getting the ball to the right people at the right time, but that is what the best do. Do I believe he's going to be our QB of the future here? I'm still out on that. Way out on that. But I'm at least intrigued. Can he replicate what he did or even get close? Can he perform well against the power opponents we have left on the schedule? Heck, can he even beat New Orleans this season?  Right now, my personal feeling is that he'd make a heck of a back-up QB. He could prove me wrong and excel, though. Maddening as it is, that'd be the best outcome ever. Or he could have just hit his peak. And that would be bittersweet because then we start the whole thing over again. I don't see a reclaimation project QB out there right now that Canales can work his magic on.
    • The Niners didn't want him. I think to some extent they were publicly shamed into making an offer when it was revealed he was not in their plans.
    • I think that is a price and attitude thing. Reportedly he was a bit of a handful for Shanahan, although admittedly not enough to not sign him to that big deal. I also think this may be much ado about nothing. If we plays this season, I suspect they will likely not move on from him.
