You do realize he had a very costly fumble on a drive we were nearing the red zone right?

One is a rookie making his first start on the road, the other is our most expensive FA acquisition and a “proven vet”. 

The play began on the 50 yard line.  He ran for 12, fumbled on the 38.  Costly for sure, but not as bad as the two interceptions.  Falcons still had to drive the length of the field after the fumble.

that being said, Sanders cannot make that mistake as a veteran.  His deal is basically just for 2 years, and I suspect our plan is to cut him loose after next season.  Overall, he had a good game besides the TO.  I’d like to see us use him more in the passing game.

The fumble is the concerning thing. 
I don’t think we can count on Chubba to average 6.7 yards per carry. He did have a couple of nice runs. But nothing happened magical from last season to this season. He was ‘ hands of stone’ his whole career. 
Sanders is a better receiver out of the backfield. Yes, that’s part of a ‘ running backs’ job in todays NFL. 
 

All of these ‘ quick takes’ are one game knee jerk reactions to an awful fumble. Including my comments. 
Let’s hope Sanders looks better Monday night and Chubba continues to run hard .

      The Pro Bowl is Unwatchable

      I think the last time I watched the Pro Bowl was that year Sean Taylor blew up that poor punter. LOL

      1 shot 1 goal tracker

      I don’t go back and look at the espn but there live it definitely said 1 shot 1 goal when it happened. I guess they had not added them yet. Still allowing goals that early is rough. Blue line is a total disaster still. Even with Slavin back. Miller and Nikishin keep making mistakes after mistakes.

      Post senior bowl PFF mock draft

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I generally disagree with the concept of picking a position because of value early in the draft. For instance, if there's a really good safety, RB or ILB at pick 10, I'm choosing him over a project WR or DE. Better players make the team better. A bunch of ok players will give you an ok team. The number 1 goal of the draft should be to improve the overall talent on the team. Not to fill positions of need.  Deciding beforehand that you're picking a LT in the first or second round because Ickey went down is not the way to improve the team. Now if Dan has similar grades on 2 or 3 players and one happens to be a LT, then yeah go for it. But don't pass on your guy at ILB because you have a gap at LT or need to improve the pass rush with a DE. When those guys don't pan out then you haven't improved your team. But that LB could have been a franchise cornerstone for years to come. See Luke Kuechly and Christian McCaffrey.
