  • I love when people bit** on-and-on about the team's personnel moves, but provide no realistic options as their opinion about what the team should have done, or should do unless it's based purely on hindsight - which is always 20-20.

    Which rookie this year is lighting up the NFL that we should have drafted? Ohhh ya, it's only been one week and our guy hasn't even played a down...

    Am I wrong??

  • Didn't he get a sack in his first NFL snap? yeahh

    Tavon Austin is basically Travis Benjamin.

    But with better hands and more shiftiness.

    I don't know about that. Has Benjamin dropped an NFL pass yet? and he can accelerate insanely fast.

    and Mingo sure is looking good out there in his debut.

  • He doesn't get held on the punt, he blocks it.

    He takes two steps to rush the passer, Instinctively reverses when Flacco hits Smith for a short gain and runs him down from behind.

    I'm loving it.

    The fact that you had to clarify that you aren't is an indictment in itself.

  • You guys arent getting the point that oline is more important right now, I never said Mingo is a bad player just a bad fit on our team since we're bad.

    Better fit on an already established team.

    Another week, another loss.

    BTW, that year the 49ers picked two olinemen in the first round worked out huge for them, they now have an elite oline and likely the best in the league, and of course are a top 3 team in the nfl.

  • What I said, previous. I'm not about to anoit Mingo the second coming of Derrick Thomas- but first play in the game= sack. He's going to get a lot more playing time- really fast. Too bad Weeden & the Wrs suck.

  • Im baffled we didnt keep running in the 4th early on, just pass pass pass

    I'm putting this more on the receivers than Weeden, a few of those plays were sure TDs. I don't know why we didn't play Trich in that play that ogbonnaya lined up in, I'm sick of how we're not utilizing Trich in passing situations since he's our best offensive player.

    I understood your point then. I wanted Warmack, but very few seem to think good guards don't need to be taken when you can get them.

    That said, Mingo looked pretty good today for his first time out. He had a positive impact on several plays.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    OTOH, Weeden overthrew a big gainer to a hugely open Obi. It is what it is.

    The defense is close to being a very good unit.

    The offense on the other hand....

  • I was pleasantly surprised by Mingo today. Hopefully is evolves into something special.

    I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say we're a CB and a FS away from having an elite defense.

  • Mingo is looking really good at dropping back and edge rushing. If there was anyone on the line I was having an issue with it was Kruger. His pass rushing skills consist of a bullrush and seemingly nothing else. If he can bullrush Oher consistently into Flacco's face than he can bullrush anybody in the NFL. If he gets good at just one aux move he might have had several sacks by now cause he gets close based just on sheer strength. However, after the minnesota game and now the Cincy game i'm fine with how he's playing. He's causing qb's to adjust their timer, Mingo can bring the blindside edge rush. Has anyone noticed that teams don't want to run at Kruger "at all"? And when they do they don't really get nowhere?

  • You guys need to understand what depth is, I love our defense right now.

    It is very evident that Weeden was part of the problem with the offensive line, as he was trying to use time that he didn't have. With Hoyer getting the ball out quicker the line has been better.
