We held our own vs Hunt. That bogus TD off McGills hands and the long bomb to Hill screwed us. But for the most part I felt our D was better than usual.

NickButera Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Apparently he played 90% of the snaps and was relaying calls. I know we all viewed him as a 2 down LB, and we only had 3 active LBs today so we didn't have a choice.... But does change our view of what he can do? Maybe a little more than we thought. Too bad he can't run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad he can't run Yeah I started to change my opinion watching some of his games this season, he's not good in coverage but he doesn't suck either because he has great instincts. He's coming off an Achilles's injury so he might improve as the season goes. He's excellent in run d and blitzing though the way he bends into running lanes and avoids blockers is a thing of beauty. With our current linebacker situation he's a every down player hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Bowman was excellent. Absolutely fantastic. Might not be our future due to injury concerns and age but the dude is easily 15x better than Lee or James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do like how he plays and I'm pumped that we have a leader to help the young guys this year. It will only make them better. He bounced off Hunt and Kelce a few times instead of wrapping and making tackles and, of course, the TD to Kelce early but overall played a good game.

In fairness, how many ILBs can cover the best TE in the NFL on a corner route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know one for sure that can't. If he had better lateral quickness he may have been able to get in position. Smith had a nice big window because Bowman was completely flat footed. That was what we all knew though coming into this. He would struggle in coverage. He just missed more tackles than I thought as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Bowman has a future with this team playing the way he did. I still think we can draft a linebacker next year, but I'm happy with what he brings to this team. He's gonna help us win some games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
