I’m not in love with that I’m seeing but we do realize how unfair that is, right? I’m seeing a very trepidatious QB. For whatever reason. He’s not turning it lose. By design? By physical limitations? Mental? I don’t know. But I’d like to see if he and staff can figure it out before writing him off after 7 games. And even less for Nick. His arm strength will always be an issue, even if the accuracy improves. Too much time for DB's to locate/drive on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schematically and how engaged the players are, Gannon actually seems to be doing something. Offense has been flat with like zero rhythm for two weeks. The roster sucks on defense, way they hide that is making people have to grind out their drives, no big plays on DBs who can get beat very easily. Most teams can’t/won’t run as much as the Niners and Cowboys. Their both built to chip. Like it’s stupid but I at least see the idea that’s pushing it. Why he didn’t at least attempt to Mix it up….I don’t know. But I guess it’s like what can they even do with this roster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’ll take time. Just like it took every other QB time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get the best young talent we can and worry about the rest later. Yep, need actual star players that will make plays every week. Have for years.

At least Gannon has had a scheme & identity on defense. I just am not sure our defense is capable of executing that scheme at a high level (nor any scheme as a matter of fact). You play one high with these corners & it's barbecue chicken time for the DAL WR's. I thought he schemed a nice blitz on the Prescott sack & they also scored a defensive TD. Sirianni, on the other hand, I have zero idea what he is trying to accomplish. They literally didn't run a single play with motion tonight. THATS INSANE in todays NFL, especially with a young QB like Hurts. We need to do everything we can to make things easier for him presnap. Sirianni's play action design isn't that good either (tough to be good when you run every play action out of shotgun). Play action is far more effective under center since the defense cannot see the ball as well.

RandyMossIsBoss Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I’ll tell you what’s bumming me out more than anything is Devonta. Or rather, Devonta’s production. He was about the only Eagle I had high expectations for. Sure, hard to produce when the whole offense is a mess like it’s been the past few weeks, poor QB play, poor coaching, poor pass protection, but still I thought it wouldn’t matter and he’d show us flashes each week. Now I’m not breaking down the film, for all we know he is getting wide open, which is why I’ll say his production is disappointing me more than anything. We’ve just been through the ringer as a fanbase w/ highly drafted WRs, so I was really hoping Smith would come in and prove himself instantly, squash all doubts, and have a season that gets him some OROY chatter. Oh well. That was probably asking for a lot w/ this inexperienced coach and QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the tape breakdown of the 49ers DeVonta was open a ton and we didn’t get him the ball, was thrown late or under thrown. What I’m more afraid of is that he may be wasted until we have a QB that can throw with anticipation and with enough arm strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babyatemydingo Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 You know how they say that history repeats itself ..... This reminds me of the 1991, week three Monday night game between the Eagles and the Cowboys. The Eagles won handily, 24-0. At one point, Keith Byars took a six yard pass from Jim McMahon into the endzone and Dan "Slimfast" Dierdorf exclaimed, "He would have scored in touch football." It was a laugher. However, by season's end, the Cowboys had surpassed the Eagles in ability and the standings. The week 16 loss to the Cowboys cost the Eagles a playoff berth, despite going 10-6. The Cowboys didn't even win the division, but did win a playoff game. It was the beginning of an upstart Jimmy Johnson era as they did win a playoff game. Could the same be happening here. Three first round picks ??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
