Still think we should all go and get some shots together.
I offered this morning and had a great time!
Awe, I missed it. I didn't see your post. I slept in today because the I had the day off.

They are always 5 yards beyond the QB or they are stuck by the Tackle. We either have trash DEs or we have terrible coaching. Or maybe it's a bit of both.
But dang, I'm so tired of watching Walker or JHA running 5 yards beyond the QB and letting the QB easily release out of the pocket. Can we not find a coach that can fix those tendencies of the players???
Oh no, the players are trash. But then why were they so good last year? Oh well they were on a contract year. Oh so it's a GM problem? Well no, because we got good players. But they are playing like [BLEEP] now. Well the players suck. But what about the coaching? No. The coaching is fine. But they aren't as successful as prior years... Well the GM is bad. But these are the players we had. Well, clearly they are not good. But they were good in previous seasons...
No. You. NO YOU. No. What about YOU????
It's like that Breakfast Club scene... We're just all going around in circles when it's obvious what the problem is. (Hint, it's not the players)
This is because there's no interior rush. Ends target a spot, they count on the interior guys to push the QB to that spot. Ours let them step up the the line and run for 20 if there's nothing open.
No matter how much you cry, coaching does not fix weak and soft interior play.
BINGO!
we are spongy in the middle. We spent a heap of capital in both FA and darft and fixed nothing on the interior. Seriously, why don't we fire the scouts and just get a roulette wheel or random number generator and try that instead?

I said earlier that it's just Baalke's philosophy to take high potential guys higher than he should which means our rookies are rarely ready to play the first year. BTj is really the only one I can think of who had any kind of first year impact, all the rest had little impact regardless of how many snaps they actually played. I expect the same of Smith and Jefferson, both will likely be very strong in the middle in another season or two, but neither is what was needed today, that should've been taken care of in free agency and it was a half-hearted effort there at best.
