Fins O-Line Blocked Well Today Until...

[finomenal]

I fell asleep and missed the second half. I still know that Isaiah Prince played at least decently. How? No one here bitched about it lol

Certain positions like OL are obvious. If he wasn't doing well, it would jump out of the screen. We all remember what the tackle play used to look like years ago. That's encouraging.

Just re-read Prince's draft profile, and all of his negatives sound coachable, but I'm no expert so don't take my word for it. :)

Prince looked like he struggled a bit. Boehm though, he was rock solid.

I think the inside guys did a good job but the tackles did not. We need to hit free agency and the draft to fix this o-line. We need to get two starting O-line guys in free agency and draft one more starter.

Prince played well in the running game, but he has a long way to go as a pass protector. He had help almost every snap from early on

No reason to attempt a 50 yard FG in ideal conditions with a kicker who has hit everything in camp, preseason and only missed his first kick last week? What?Ture

And he is 4 for 7 this year, not 1-4.

lol pin them back . . . Did u even watch the game my dude? Rivers carved them up from the 5 yard line and drove it down the field. That FG was a high percentage scoring opportunity for this team

That is correct He is 4-7. I forgot he made a few chip shots. Hack sucks and couldn't pin **** anyway.

I payed attention mostly to the O Line today and Reshad Jones.

1. The O Line did an above average job protecting Rosen until O'Leary got banged up. I know they were in max protect on most passing third downs, but there was some chemistry in the first half when Rosen had the ability to assign protection.

2. After falling behind 27-10, and after SD put together a 10+ minute drive, which was kept alive by penalties and sloppy zone coverage (zone coverage on 3rd and 19 specifically), the offense stopped running the ball and went to the screen too much. With Ingraham out for SD, this says volumes about how valuable Albert Wilson is to this offense.

3. Reshad Jones did not look in football shape. He often looked late to the ball, committing mental errors he used to not commit, and was out of position on several plays in the middle of the field. He also missed a ton of tackles today. His days are numbered.

Lastly, Boehem (sp?) impressed me today. He pushed several Chargers around, specifically Bosa on several plays when running the ball. He was aware and did a good job considering he just got here. I think he makes this line better, if he can stay healthy.

Just a few takes.

Don't need to talk dropped balls by WR crew. Parker disappeared in the second half. Why did we extend Grant again? Williams played well but has to sleep with the JUGS machine if he's going to be on any team more than a year. That kid has all the moves and talent, but has to overcome his Hulk Hands when we need him.

Nice post. What are your thoughts on Rosen? Also, do you know when Wilson is supposed to return?

Williams is what he is. Qbs don’t improve on accuracy and receivers don’t improve on drops. Remember Chris chambers and randy Mcmichael? They would make great plays but had drops and fumbles would kill them. Eventually he will be replaced too. It’s a shame. He has talent but drops will not get better.

I agree about boehem. I liked that trade. Never understood how he wasn’t immediate starter .

Ballage should be replaced by laird.

Online isn’t that much better. It looks better because chargers and cowboys only blitzes when needed. We still can’t pick up blitzes or stunts.

I really want to see Albert Wilson come back healthy after bye. I want to see what kind of impact he can have. Gase was correct about grant. He is not a slot guy. Needs to be on outside. And a number four receiver at best.

We really miss rizzi. Sanders is 1-4 this year. Special teams return game have been terrible. Sanders might not bounce back without Rizzi

Flores has no idea how to manage game.
At 10 -10. No reason to try long fg and give chargers short field. Philibin did that with Carpenter all the time. Shoulda tried to pin chargers back. Though hack sucks.

This is directed at your Williams response. Patience is the word for today, the statement below was is referencing Jerry Rice in his first year and he was a first round pick.

"The 49ers, fresh off a victory in Super Bowl XIX, were 6-5 and fighting for their playoff lives. Joe Montana's passing numbers were off. Rice, the team's top draft pick, had 26 receptions in 11 games, but he also dropped 10 balls, some of them at the worst possible times. He was coming off a game in which he dropped two passes, fumbled once, and caught just one pass. "

Nice. Patience is the word. We can't replace everyone in 2 years. Williams has some talent and it would be foolish to not give 3-4 years. Grant puzzles me with the contract given to him. I am rooting for him but he is really a gadget player with a history of dropsies. He can not be a top 3 receiver on any team.

It seems that Sanders has struggled without Denney as well. I'm not so sure that cutting him was a great idea. IIRC, the only miss that he had in preseason was without Denney as well. having a different Long Snapper could certainly change his timing and affect his accuracy. I definitely think losing Rizzi has been huge as well.

No reason for a coach to try a 50 yd FG to take the lead?!?

I can't wait for your next hot take.

Receivers work on drop problems all the time lol.

They rarely improve on. You can laugh but once it’s a problem usually it stays a problem.

Hard to say Parker disappeared in the 2nd half. Most receivers disappear when you only attempt 7 passes and they're not targeted once. I'm not sure that's really on the receiver. I'll need to re-watch the 2nd half offensive plays. Good thing it'll only take 5 or 10 minutes.

How are you losing the whole second half and only attempt 7 passes? The first two drives out of the half Rosen had one attempt If I’m not mistaken. I’m no expert but tough to score point when your passing 7 times in 2 quarters of football
