No_Matter_What

Interesting moves today. If Rapp is good to go, which he should be with no game designation, Cine is a surprise. Morrow is another one. With Carter being back, it looked like Jefferson is an odd man out.

Can somebody tell me what "walk-thru practice" actually means?

To me the whole premise of this thread is just wrong. In regular season, this is close to a non-issue. Yes sometimes it seems that we can't stop the run but who cares? We are not losing games because of it. How many games in the past 5-6 years did we lose because teams run on us? Maybe 2019 Eagles game, 2020 Chiefs game, 2021 Patriots, Titans and Colts games, 2024 Ravens game? That is one game a year, and even then it is also combined with offense playing bad - like Ravens this year or infamous Patriots windy game. It is the way this defense is designed and it almost always works. It didn't work vs Ravens this year since we were without Johnson, Milano and Bernard. As for PO, if refuse to rewatch those games, but I really don't remember any game which we lost because of our run defense. 2023 we lost because we couldn't get to Mahomes, 2022 whole team was off, 2021 don't even get me started, 2020 Hill and Kelce combined for 290 yards receiving. Our run defense is far from perfect but it won't stop us from winning SB. I'd say let's win SB this year with healthy Bernard and Milano and then draft some monster 1T in round 1 or 2 so we can repeat.

They also comment how lame is that we are rallying points against weaker opponents. One guy said that it screams Bills insecurity lol

I've always wondered why players don't do this more often. Amazing play by both Coop and Josh

Lol this is bizarre Only in NFL

I hate all this running on the 1st down!

2 min warning already? This has to be the fastest game I've ever watched.

Did I mention that I hate that our 1st down runs are so predictable? Luckily not for SF defense!

Lol so many people wanted to sit Cook this game

No I was mocking posters who say that after 1-2 drives

We are so soft and unprepared!

Bengals defense is something else

LOL Cousins another silly INT

It starts at 2:20 am here in Slovakia I'll try to sleep during the second game window. Sometimes it works, sometimes I can't fall asleep and stay up all night till 6am.

He should be ejected from the season

Can't imagine Milano and Bernard next to each other. Please make it happen till February 9.

*8 win Packers (your post assumes 49ers lose to Packers today)

I thought they were good (again), but my post wasn't about Chiefs game. I just think Beane, Kromer and players deserve some praise for the overall OL product last 2 seasons.

Haha. Now what I would like to know what do you guys think where he goes in redraft with hindsight? Late 1st? Earlier? I have no idea.

I mean great job by Beane, Kromer and the players. In 2022 season our starting Oline was Dawkins-Saffold-Morse-Bates-Brown and if I remember correctly, it was one of the worst units in the league. Then Beane made all the right decisions - got McGovern, Edwards, drafted Torrence and kept believing in Brown. Last year they were much improved. Then he let go aging Morse, moved McGovern to C, put Edwards to RG and whole line is still performing very well. People kept saying how he "criminally" neglected WR unit - which was partly true, but there was always an option to trade for someone, which is exactly what he did. Much less was said about great work he's done with Oline. And good OL > good WR corps if you ask me. Not to mention there seems to be a good young depth in place with Van Demark, Anderson, Grable and VanPran Granger. Beane has his misses (Dline investments, some extensions, some draft picks), but he nailed this one. These guys are one of the reasons we are 9-2.

I guess you meant Bernard. Agreed, guy is a monster. Now imagine him next to healthy Milano.

I think Van Demark deserves honorable mention. I didn't focus on him but I guess he held his own today, at least in pass pro.

With 4th sack today, he has reached another $1.5M incentive ($2.5M total). Good for him. I guess it counts against next years cap.

I don't know where Worthy went, but probably to the same place where Kelce went when the game started. I know people say that he is not what he used to be but last 3 games he had 90, 100 and 64 yards. Our D held him to 2 receptions for 8 yards on 4 targets. 8 yards.
