"so wide open that a drone strike wouldn't have hurt anyone else."

"God, if they do need Hoyer to take meaningful snaps (again, please be willing, God), the mob that wanted them to pay Jimmy Garoppolo $30 million to hold a Microsoft tablet will be insufferable. More than they already are."

WIDE RECEIVERS
Dorsett is safe.
Decker is not.
McCarron is not.

DEFENSIVE BACKS
Cyrus Jones is likely to be our PR for at least four games.
Jason McCourty was given a last chance to see if he can make the 53 as a safety.
CB's for now: Gilmore, Rowe, Dawson, with J Jones, Jackson, Crossen in the mix
[we could keep all of them]

OFFENSIVE LINE
I'm fine with our current starters plus Waddle
If we keep additional 3 backups, they should be Karras, Croston and Tobin

Newton broke contain a couple times when under pressure, but only ran the ball twice - once for 10 yards, once for 3 yards.

I'm posting this in slow motion for two reasons:

1. Cyrus makes some nice quick cutting moves during the return,

and

2. I thought slomo gave the T-stretch a more dramatic effect.

My only criticism would be with how he's holding the ball. But aside from that he does have a little Troy Brown in him return game wise.

Good vision; read his blocks well.

Serious question. What was Wise doing? To me it looks funny as hell. Love the player so just ribbing him a bit.

Not so serious comment: Can we get BB to run a few fumble recovery drills? Belly flopping on the ball isn't getting it done.

Just a simple stunt w KVN. Tryna create some pressure w 3DL & 1LB.

Did look a bit Benny Hill-ish.

Pretty impressive first down.

Very good speed. Can run through guys, if need be.

Have to wonder what the call was for this play. Was it purposefully aggressive so the DL could learn what happens if you collapse the pocket aggressively against a running QB that will simply outrun you? Sort of like a teaching tool for the regular season.

Reminds me of Grant at Vicksburg, who let his men charge the city on the first day to find out a seige was necessary.

My favourite play of the night, by far. This guy can play.

It was 3rd & 9.

Lol it wasn't a teaching tool.

You can also point out that little jump at the beginning he makes when catching the ball. That's a bad habit. It cost him 2 steps.

 

[BobDigital]

Very true. But the defender got an amazing jump off the line on that play against Brown. He looks a to have a full step on every other defender just a fraction of a second after the ball is snapped.

Agreed but he has to be expecting that on 3rd down. He jumped the snap which will happen several times each game. Poor set imo. Again he has get vertical early or cut that angle off w a slide.
