    Wilson on Carrolls comment about wanting him to check down

    To chris98xxx's point, Pete famously shielded Russ from criticism during the LOB years. I actually think that was the right thing to do; all the money was on the defensive side of the ball, Russell was doing it with a Cable OL and Bevell. Fast forward to now. The OL is now competent in my...

    Wilson on Carrolls comment about wanting him to check down

    The topic is the final drive in OT where Russell didn’t take the check down with his back to the end zone and instead fired the ball deep twice on lower percentage passes and then was sacked in the inevitable third and long he put himself into. Maybe Pete should have kept his frustration to...

    Dear Pete

    What the... I will admit Pete has been a little too conservative in the past and kept teams in it, but this game was the polar opposite of that phenomemon. Pete had a 2 TD lead at home and the offense kept chucking it deep for 3 and outs. We were beaten because we inexplicably kept going for...

    Shane Waldrons Offense

    If Pete was meddling don't we think Carson would have gotten more than 4 touches in the 2nd half when we had a big lead and Henry was wearing out our D? I mean I just don't see Pete walking over to Waldron and saying "hey I'm good with not running the ball at all, and by the way whatever you do...

    You gotta Run the ball !

    They definitely had Carson's number in the first half, and may have had it in the second half, but I didn't feel like we had enough attempts to find out either way. If they were bracketing Lockett in the second half then either DK is manned up or they were playing 2 high which we should at...

    The Defense in the 2nd half

    There's going to be a lot of lamenting the soft zone this year but as Largent points out, the die was cast when we went into the season with the corners we have. We are definitely better than last year's zero pass rush on the DL, but we'd have to have a monster pass rush to protect those...

    Loss is on offense

    I think Russ loves deep outside throws, but that seems like an iffy example to ding him on. If Tyler was his first read, which it looked like it was, with that defender in the backfield it would have been awfully difficult for Russ to come off that first read and have time to hit Carson in the...

    Honestly, they probably should have done MORE Peteball

    Peteball wasn’t what I saw today but you know what will bring back Peteball? Losing winnable games with a WTF passing strategy that leaves our defense out on the field 47 minutes. Pete is not going to be happy about the way today went.

    Greg Olsen reveals that Pete handcuffed Wilson last year

    What I saw rewatching games was that schotty did indeed have shorter routes, multiple on a given play but that Russ couldn’t or wouldn’t hit them reliably. The answer should have been to dial up some of these nice intermediate routes that Russ is able to see better but that still thwart the 2...

    Rain Sunday

    I agree, and I agree with Aros’s eye test. To me it’s always impacted him worse than most other QBs, maybe because so much of his passing is based on his very excellent touch. That said, I’m hoping Waldron can give him lots more of those jazzy TE screens and wide open intermediate throws so...

    Collier A Healthy Scratch

    The collier scratch was a game time tactical decision, sure, but if you’re so marginal a player you get scuttled by those week to week decisions, it is what it is. Year 3 and he’s still fighting to be activated on game day? On the Collins front at this point i think the coaches are going to...

    The Narrative...

    Bit of a straw man. I don't need all pros at every position. But we're weaker at corner, and we were pathetic there last year. At safety we're strong, pending health, but health is a concern. At DL we added bodies, and on paper I think we could be okay there, but the only difference maker...

    The 49ers Really Botched The QB Spot This Year

    Marvins point with young was that he wasn’t viewed as a sure thing, far from it. He was viewed as a big bust actually after 2 years in Tampa. If you’re a fan of a football team who selected a talented but unproven player naturally you are going to look to an example like young. Not as a down...

    Seahawks to sign Blessuan Austin, CB

    Do you think Norton can scheme us up if flowers is out there all game? From what I saw last year, a 15 yard cushion is the extent of Norton’s answer to that question.

    Seahawks Keep Swinging and Missing on Veteran Cornerbacks

    Hey, we definitely agree that if they find good corners then it doesn’t matter whether it’s draft or FA. I think if they hit just once at the level of, say, mcdougald, or diggs at corner then the narrative would go away. Those were not Ramsey tier players but they were and are fantastic value...

    The 49ers Really Botched The QB Spot This Year

    Yep. The risk is what is eye popping here but the story is absolutely still to be written, for the simple fact that as always with this position, if you really hit on one, it will be viewed as a success. I like it personally because it is going to make for compelling viewing this season...

    Seahawks Keep Swinging and Missing on Veteran Cornerbacks

    Ramsey or Gilmore wouldn’t take skill to get, just the willingness to kill the cap. The take is quite right that in the area of identifying veteran talent at the QB position that aren’t sure things, the FO has struggled. If the criteria is that you only hit on vets when you give up a ton for...

    The 49ers Really Botched The QB Spot This Year

    I totally agree they are wise to keep JG because Lance is rough but the issue is with what they are spending on JG and what they gave up for Lance they have so much invested in the position that things need to go exactly right for it to work. Lance pretty much has to be a huge upgrade over JG by...

    "The Matt Hasselbeck Show" Starts Sept. 15 On 710 ESPN Seatt

    Most fun Seahawks QB in interviews by a long, long way. I’m actually pins and needles excited for this, could be really neat.

    David Moore, want him back?

    Would have loved to have him before we drafted a WR3; Moore is plenty sufficient with DK and Lockett out there. Obviously it’s be great if Eskridge turns out to be on the next tier. Still would love him for the right price. WR3 isn’t always going to be Doug Baldwin, and if we did have a...
