Woolen was awful that last drive and I’ve never thought much of him… gets burned all the time… Makes one good play and does the dumb sword shit. CMon dude. With that…

What’s up with K9? Dude was absolutely awol today… injured a lot last year… Charbs appears to be able to carry load…. The new number 1?

I’m not suggesting k9 but Woolen and maybe him for a package deal? Ha.


I’m smarmy at both currently.

K9 was terrible, but they also didn't really put him in a position to succeed. He's great out in space where he can use his quickness and shiftiness to make players miss and get moving.

How many play calls put him in that position today? it seems like most plays were him running into a clogged line, or getting a pitch 5 yards deep on the side of the field that the 9ers had already loaded up on.

I can’t anymore buy this excuse. what I saw was a RB how danced around until defenders were AT him. I saw a RB who was hesitant and dancing around. I saw a RB to let DBs come to him as he waited to run after having the ball. Outside his first year, it’s been the same thing with him constantly, poor vision, not following blocks, NOT TAKING WHATS GIVEN, dancing around, stuttering, hesitation, and sometimes just standing there a second before he even moves. He’s in his own way mentally. That’s a vast different from his first yr. A kid who like Charbs would get the ball and immediately take off, no dancing, no stuttering, not seeking contact. Whatever changed between then and now, he needs to regain “it”

And if the next excuse is play calls for him vs Charbs, well.. if he’s so shifty and fast what’s the reasoning he was so hesitant and danced around, sometimes waiting for defenders? Screen plays all day regardless who the receiver was, JSN, Kupp, Walker was blown up. Can’t be Oline, Charbs ran behind the same one and had no problem today .

Yeah, but Charbs is a power back. He's good at driving into a tight window. Walker isn't. We already know this. So if you aren't going to put him out in space, why even use him?

He isn't useful in all situations, but can still be extremely successful if you put him in a situation to succeed. They didn't. You either play to the strengths of the players on the team or change the players.

I thought this was supposed to be an outside zone running team? What's up with all the inside runs with a banged up and still questionable interior o-line? Why not call plays to your strengths? Why not block with TEs and full backs?

If you're going to run inside, run Charb, not K9.

This was against a young rookie type D-line too and they still got owned.
