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.

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

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.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
