Hmmmm....so who starts if Verrett is ready go Sunday? Him or Spoon? Personally, I'd leave Spoon in the there as the starter opposite Manny. He started last week and was ok so I'd leave him in there for the time being. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that was not ideal. But I was trying to pay attention to him and Aiyuk to see if they were open or not. Aiyuk is still raw with his route running but Bourne is improved from last season. Creating legitimate separation out there. I never thought he would be a guy you could throw deep to, but honestly he's getting steps on the DBs. Even after Jimmy underthrew him on the last drive on 3rd down, the following play he had a step on Peterson again on a go route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was disappointed in how aiyuks routes looked in the first half. Wasn't crisp in and out of his breaks. Haven't done the deep dive on the second half yet. He looked incredible with the ball in his hands though. He needs to be target #1 this week I agree with you about Bourne. He has looked sharp this year. Very solid #3. Taylor is less impressive.

I hear what you're saying but it's really not about him getting behind CBs, as much as it's about understanding the nuisances to catching those over-the-shoulder passes and deep throws. Body control, showing your hands at the last second in tight coverage, understanding the trajectory of the ball and adjusting to it...its not something he's been asked to do so far in his career. He's been a short-intermediate guy who worked the middle of the field, who could turn and face the ball as it was being thrown. Being adept as a viable deep ball WR may or may not be in his wheelhouse, as strange as that might sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it would be great if he could do all those things at an high level, but that's not what he is. He was already a solid 3rd or 4th option and to me he clearly looks better in his route running.

With the news of Dion being called up I’m not sure why they’d wait at RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
757-NINER Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Promoting Jordan makes zero sense at the point. Much rather they would have kicked the tires on Matthews. You already know what you have in Jordan...basically nothing. Even though I think Matthews is pretty much done, that's still more than what Jordan can provide. And maybe in a 3rd down role like we used Ford last year, he could salvage some of his GB form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he's just not good. At least Clay used to be good. Jordan has never been anything. He's just been there, if we're being honest If it were me, you sign a Clay or a Sheard and you have them and Ansah as you're nickel specialist. They come in as the DEs on obvious passing downs, while AA kicks inside. You can have Hyder and AA as you're ends in base. I think they're just being cheap honestly, not wanting to sign a vested vet and then having to cut him when Blair returns but still pay him for the remainder of the season. They're trying to bide time until Blair or Ford can return, with Jordan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does make sense, but I don't think they are doing it for that reason alone. We are trying to win the Superbowl still, I think they just already had Jordan in the building and are giving him a shot In kocerek we trust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
