Dude is a stop gap, you're not looking at this play and trying to draw any serious prognosis for the future of this team. Seeing guys like Taylor, the O-line, Hyde, Breida and Garcon all step up. That's what i'm excited about. Speaking of Breida, I'd really love to know why he got fewer carries than Mostert.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he had a terrible pick and made some other bad decisions, but he's not a good QB so that is expected. But he made some nice throws and had the offense moving all game. This was the best our offense has looked since 2012 days. Really? Without question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckner did his thing but where was our LB's? D-line is holding their own in the run game more often than not. LBers are not helping, especially on the perimeter.

He's not a good QB, do you disagree with that? If you could get this type of performance from a bad or extremely mediocre QB, you take it. Also, there were like five or six drops you have to take into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so funny to read that, and then remember back when TC/preseason was just getting started, and we weren't even sure he was going to start because of Smith lol.

I expected more from Ray Ray coming in, but clearly I was naive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Yep, by all accounts Smith was having a strong camp. Just his athleticism would have helped so much in coverage. Overall, I'm really pleased with all three of our safeties though. They are playing fast and physical while at the same time now blowing any assignments. Granted, Ward had a bad personal foul call but I love the way he comes up to tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was literally clarifying the FOR HIM part. I still think it was a bad performance by him, but not god awful. I wouldn't call it good, but it was more the kind of mistakes he made were just at the worst possible times. Missing Taylor and the pick 6 were just really, really bad plays on his part. Not his normal hook zone interception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone notice Jerome at all? I really didn't. I know that they weren't throwing it much when he came in, and of course, the big pass plays were busted zones from the linebackers, so I'm really not sure how he did in his first action.

Totally agree on the safeties. Re-up Ward, resign Reid and bring back Tartt. Figure out a way to get these guys on the field on second and third down.

Exactly why I wasn't upset with his injury as bad as it sounds LOL. But looking back at it, we sure could use Smith, even if it is just to rotate him with Bowman.

Nah, didn't really notice him. Saw him in the game but not sure how he played. The Rams really didn't get to do much after he came in anyways though. They scored a few plays later, had a three and out next possession, fumbled the kickoff, failed to recover the onside kick and then just ran the clock out. Next week hopefully Foster is back and Tartt is able to play. But man that kick to the head looked bad. A definite concussion. Really, you can't tell me Hyde or Taylor didn't suffer a concussion either. What a brutal brutal game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have accept he is a mediocre QB, then you have to like his performance. It was far from a mistake free performance but he made some big time throws down the sidelines and threw a few nice deep balls. The drops killed a 360+ passing yard performance with potentially three TD passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if their is one thing to care about from this game in regards to Hoyer, it's that he appears to finally be getting on the same page with some guys. He was having issues with turning in the right direction come two weeks ago. Once he gets Taylor and Kittle going, I think we might see some consistent scoring. And by consistent I mean getting over 14 points a game, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
