Rivera: Legadu Played Well


Proudiddy

Recommended Posts

Just now in presser. Mentioned Legadu AND LaFell together saying they played well, but I think that was more or less to keep them on equal footing so LaFell isn't seen as a threat to move up in the lineup.

:facepalm:

It was his best game, but damn, when will he give this up?:mad2:

if he mentioned it, it's probably because he was asked about it by a reporter. no coach in the league is going to answer with "uhh actually naanee sucked and we fully intend to draw and quarter him publicly on mint street on monday."

and he DID actually have a good game... four receptions for 63 yards.

Anyone notice how much time Applewhite got on the field yesterday over Hardy?

These San Diego alliances have got to die.

Hardy looked like he was a little banged up out there yesterday. there were a few shots of him grimacing in pain.

Also, at least two drops IIRC and a holding penalty.

And he wasn't asked about him on that question, he was asked what "young guys," if any, popped out or "flashed" on the tape? He brought up Legadu and LaFell on his own.

I don't have a problem with using guys he's familiar with, I trust him in any other case, except Naanee.

And I'm not worried about Hardy's spot... I think he's solidified himself with the staff very early on. They love him and he's shown an ability to dominate at times this year and that will only get better. I love that guy...

That being said, the defensive line rotates pretty regularly and I loved the Applewhite pickup, so it was good to see him out there, plus, Hardy looked winded after a lot of those plays towards the end of the game.

Naanee really did play a better game yesterday. I'm starting to think the coaches are behind him because, even if the catch/target ratio is out of whack (and let's be honest, Cam seems to throw him some weird balls, especially that floater that the refs overturned like the idiotic morons they are) Naanee definitely blocks well. He was directly responsible for spring Deangelo on his 69 yd TD run.

Yeah, I think Hardy was getting some well-deserved breaks. I didn't see Applewhite do anything particularly bad, either, so hopefully he can improve and we can continue to add defensive playmakers.

    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
    • Then please take a vacation from the team.
    • In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
