I was really disappointed in the long ball. That was too bad. We don’t need to do that. He thought he had something, but we don’t need to throw the ball like that. The other one, it was a scramble and he saw [Seattle Seahawks WR] Doug Baldwin and he flashed to throw that ball and he lost track of what was going on. And so, that’s a mistake for us, but the other one, the last time we did that it was against the Cardinals. I think it was the first game or something like that. So, no need to throw the ball like that.
In Pete's presser last night he obviously gave the rah rah stuff over the good parts, but I found this statement a bit telling:
In other words, they are going to be all over that shit in their meetings. Wilson won't be doing that again any time soon.
We wonder why he mostly only hits the near guys in scrambles and that's why. Even if a guy is open it just feels like Carroll in particular is all about not taking those risks downfield. There's a difference in the designed play to Lockett, those timing plays that they practice are going to continue, but the off script attempts to make something happen deep? Not likely to see that again for awhile.
Meh, Ram's fans haven't had much to crow about like ever, so if one of their fans has a moment of stupidity you kind of have to ignore it. It's not unlike a little kid in your neighborhood that is obviously way smaller and undersized talking like he has something on you. You give the lil guy a pat on the head and move on.
Ram's will be a solid 3rd place team this year when it's all said and done. I mean at least they have the dumpster fire 9'ers to ensure they aren't last again.
I thought it looked like Kearse quit on that play anyways.
I thought the same thing -- Kearse slowed up and maybe surprised it was thrown. It wasn't a great decision to lob it into double coverage and maybe the best Kearse could have done was break it up, but it's not like giving the Niners the ball around their 10 hurt us any. They couldn't do squat. I just hope we don't over-correct here and go a few games without taking some shots. Even if they aren't complete, I think there's positive effect from testing the secondary like that.I thought it looked like Kearse quit on that play anyways. Looked like if he'd kept running he'd have been right there at the ball. At the very least he could have tried to be a DB and bust the play up. But near the end he slows right down and ends up a yard short of where he needed to be. Simms even said the same thing during the replay. Oh well. Nothing ventured nothing gained I guess. Wilson even shrugged it off and called it basically a long punt.
Yeah Kearse give up on that play and that's not the first time he's done that this year. Never the less ill advised pass attempt by Wilson. Sure would love seeing more Tyler Lockett and less Kearse. I know folks focus on Graham and not getting enough targets, but I think Lockett is the best target the Seahawks have and would love to see more of him.I thought the same thing -- Kearse slowed up and maybe surprised it was thrown.

Kearse has been a blue collar WR, which makes his giving up on plays more puzzling to me. In the past it has taken WRs a couple of years ( see Golden Tate), but last year we saw that things are a changing, in fact Lockett is actually seeing the field more then I thought he would this early, and he's looked good. More Lockett please.I'll say this about Kearse though, when he catches the ball, he works for the extra yards. Always liked that about him. As for Lockett, we got a steal in the draft. IMO, it usually takes a couple seasons for a receiver to really contribute full time but I really like his maturity and his heads up style of play.

Yeah RW misses some open guys , because after the first read he looking at the pass rush, can't say I blame him because the OL is porous. Then he's running and only seeing half the field. The key is to get the OL protecting good enough for RW to trust it.I want to see this about the passing in this game. I don't mind Russell taking shots down the field but on one of those INT's Richardo Lockette was WIDE open and might have scored himself had Russell thrown it to him and not Baldwin. Twice i saw R. Lockette wide open in that game on what would have been safe throws and Russell missed him.
Sounds good to me. Division rivals having to start over at QB is good news. Having to burn a top pick on one is even better.SF just may have a great shot at the QB from Cal, Jared Goff or QB, Connor Cook from Michigan St...
It's easy for fans to sit high up in the stands or watch on TV and find an open receiver that the QB misses. They all do it. This line simply doesn't pass block well enough for our QB to sit there and scan everything and not miss an open guy here and there.Yeah RW misses some open guys , because after the first read he looking at the pass rush, can't say I blame him because the OL is porous.
