What the hell is with Shanahan. Brings in Lance again on 3rd and one for a an run? Lance is way too timid and gets hit for no gain. Shanahan is an idiot. At least give Lance a shot at it
Despite the garbage time TD's we gave up; we dominated the game on both sides. Honestly the late TD's the Lions got to even make the game look competitive was probably good for the coaching staff. It will be a lot easier to keep the team focused and get guys to work on the things that needed to be improved.
The offense should've looked good seeing as how the Lions are one of the worst Ds in the league.
Grop looked good until halfway through the 3rd quarter, when we took our foot off the gas.
--What was with Trey's running plays all seemingly inside the tackles? Wasn't a fan of how we used him.
Running game looked great.
--Mostert promptly go hurt. These small injuries are the only thing holding him back.
--Mitchell looked like a starter out there.
--Hasty did well in relief too. We're gonna be ok at RB.
--Sermon was a healthy scratch. Not a good look for your 3rd rd pick, but he'll get some PT next week.
Our WRs looked pretty good, with a missing man.
--Deebo blew the eff up, nearly 200 yards. His run after catch ability is crazy.
--Sherfield was the #2 WR. got a few catches and a TD. Looked like he belonged out there.
--Aiyuk barely played and wasn't targeted. Is it b/c of his drops in TC/PS? Shanny sending a message?
--Kittle another typical game for him--good catches and RACyds.
Overall, the OL played well, but Brunskill and McGlinchey were shaky in pass pro.
--Mack was definitely better than anything we had at C for the last couple of years.
On the DL, can someone stop the run up the middle, please?
--Kinlaw was out and his run stopping was missed. Considering his knee condition looks chronic...
--Street and Kerr and Jones didn't look bad inside, but weren't the run stoppers Kinlaw is
--Bosa was mostly contained, but got a sack
--Ford had some plays too. A sack and forced 2 penalties. More that we got from him all of last year.
Nice to see our lack of depth and poor drafting at CB hit us in the face so early. Maybe the FO will pay attention this time.
--Ambry Thomas was just as bad as he was in the PS.
--We keep bringing D.Johnson back at CB, and he keeps playing poorly. Will we learn?
--Verrett, looks like he's out for the year. He was our best CB by...a...mile. Gonna be a sore spot all year.
--Lennoir was surprisingly good out there. Will he be another late rd find that makes up for early rd misses?
