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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
