Do we beat SF if Amini was healthy?

Those?  If you count 2 you must remove the pass to Smitty then so the answer is no.

 

Not sure I agree. Smitty got a little more attention after that TD, plus he seemed to hobble around a bit afterwards as well.

 

That play could have been made at another, more important point later in the game as the defense probably thought #25 could cover 89 deep by himself. They learned he couldn't and didn't leave their DBs alone as much.

 

All that to say, if SF doesn't make adjustments based on that pass, then Smitty could have beat his man deep any time during the game - perhaps even the first drive in the 2nd half.

The first goal line stand wasn't the issue... they held and got the ball and punted then we immediately scored.

 

The second one would have changed the entire game imo.  It would have put us up 17-6 before half (17-13 had they still scored) and probably changed the entire dynamic of our team coming out in the 2nd half.  

 

However, those things are impossible to know though since it didn't happen that way.

I can't remember, did he go straight to IR or did he come back for a few games first?  Also, was Kugzilla hurt when we drafted him?

 

he played a few games before he tore his acl

 

kug had hamstring and knee problems all through workouts and camp although he supposedly was getting non-contact reps on the first team when he was well enough to participate

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
