Yobogoya!

Josh missed the easy check down for a first.

Two big misses by Allen back to back.

Kickoff returns are trending up.

If we had taken a timeout before the third down it would have been just vintage McDefense.

Ahhh third and long, my old friend.

Nice drop- that’s one of our defensive schemes favorite plays!

Vintage Allen. Do you think Josh wants a down field passing attack?

Groot playing to his strength - setting the edge.

He is hurt and inactive yes. Hes our only Lb worth a damn.

We need a defense that keeps all our linebackers off the field. Is 5-0-6 a real formation we can use? Lol

It’s not his turn. 🤷‍♂️

We need to enjoy every win this year cuz even making the playoffs- this D is not championship caliber.

I’m glad for the score but do we have anything drawn up for short yardage that can work besides the tush push? Seems like either Josh gets through or we just have nothing else that works.

Hey look— speed!

Did we even try? Lol

Just sit back and enjoy the show fellas 🫠

If I’m opposing coach I might never punt vs this D. The odds are very well in your favor.

Of course it went up. Basically no one returned kickoffs last year which is why they changed the rules- so that there was actually potential for a play to happen again. Not a lot of guys are getting concussed on a play that doesn't happen. Maybe Kevin Kolb? I'm not sure if you can have it both ways. A kickoff is by its nature a play that encompasses the whole field, and guys are going to run fast, run hard and inevitably collide no matter how you slice it. Just make the *****-helmet mandatory for all special teamers and hope for the best.

Jackson recorded exactly 0 stats this year on 30 defensive snaps- so it seems unlikely anyone who sees active game time for us could be any LESS productive than that, lol.

Davis is an instant upgrade to Coleman on the outside, but people seem to forget just how often he was out of sync with Allen he was on many important pass plays- he was the target on some disastrous interceptions and dropped pass. There's no "star power" there but you have to feel like there's an adequate passing attack waiting to be schemed out of that bunch. Whether current staff can figure it out is another story.

I'm no great expert but it look to me like even if the rusher wasn't charging into Allen's view, juju brents (32) can simply take one step to the right and instantly be where Shavers is going to be stopping to receive the pass. Of course on fourth down you have to take a shot no matter how poor it is because you're turning over on downs in either case. But this was a dumb play from the word "go".

This is a great and telling point. We've heard for several seasons that our WR's are garbage but look at several rosters and there's an equal or even worse crop that is somehow producing. Like the Patriots with geriatric Diggs and JAG Hollins. Hell Chan Gailey got more production out the "goon squad" with Fitzmagic slinging it. Pretty sad.

But, but... we needed a 50/50 guy!

Yeah maybe we can promote Slick Rick from the mailroom

He'd have to come back this year AND finish strong to sniff a 3rd, I think. For exactly the reasons you mentioned. It's a criticism way down the list at this point, but part of Beane's over-commitment to his own draft picks means we never deal a guy when his value will actually net us something positive in return. Isn't it kinda weird that in 8 seasons he's NEVER moved one of his draft picks for a sizable return in trade?
