Most of our defense didn't show up for this game either mentally or physically. The Rams "O" dictated to our "D" pretty-much the entire game.

He's made several stupid penalties this year, just letting his emotions get the best of him.

Several? That may be a bit of an exaggeration - not that "emotional [stupid] penalties" are acceptable in any quantity and Goldson's yesterday certainly falls into the dipshit category.

Just for the sake of clarity, however, his penalty came on 1st down so it didn't extend the drive but it did put them into FG range.

Some of them have been pure BS though, like getting penalized for talking shit to Lynch after a tackle for a loss... IN CANDLESTICK. That still pisses me off, what he did there was the same as that guy standing over Smith after he drilled him on that run to the left sideline. This is the NFL, they talk shit after big hits.

Plus, Goldson draws a lot of BS illegal hits to the helmet when replays typically show him hitting the guy cleanly pad-to-pad.

He does dumb stuff of course, but I don't like him getting a bad reputation for the penalties I just mentioned.

Just to put a number on it. Goldson has been flagged 4 times this season.

Are those personal fouls?

I didn't even have to look into the thread to know who you were talking about. He's a fuckin' idiot.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Are those personal fouls?

For Goldson? Those are all total penalties for the season. It just so happens that all of Goldson's penalties this season are of the personal foul variety.

2 unnecessary roughness calls vs. Minnesota. Both came on the same drive, which Minnesota ended up scoring on (2-yard TD pass to Kyle Rudolph). More on Goldson's reaction to one: 49ers get extra timeouts, Goldson disputes roughness call

1 unsportsmanlike conduct vs. Seattle on their first drive of the game. Called for jawing off to Lynch after tackling him on a run play. Harbaugh on that call: 49ers Blog and Q&A: Harbaugh questions physical play by Seattle cornerbacks

1 unsportsmanlike conduct vs. St. Louis in the middle of their 2nd drive in the 3rd quarter. Called for removing his helmet.

 

[h0ckeysk83r]

Not good seeing him miss these.

But I think he can shake it off and get back on track

Wow, Chris, Yeoman's effort on the research - Well Done!! I completely forgot about the Minnesota fouls - I agree with Dashon on the second PF on the drive, which was unquestionably a bad call. Nevertheless, even 3 PF's seems like a lot. I wonder how it compares to the league average for safeties. (No, please don't research that )

 

[imac_21]

I blame Goldson for taking his helmet off and extending the Rams drive that they scored a FG on.

They need a baby sitter out there to watch him, play is over have Sopoaga go sit on Goldson; don't let him do anything stupid.

I like using Sop for that. At least then he's doing something.

I'm not curious enough to go look considering the time it would take. But it did make me curious to see where Goldson ranks among safeties for total penalties, whether they are of the personal foul variety or not.

He's tied for the league lead for most penalties by a safety. My guess is that he's probably the leader for most personal foul penalties by a safety as well. At the very least he is in a tie for that title as well.



Most penalties by NFL safeties so far this season

Charles Woodson - 4 (1 of which was declined)
LaRon Landry - 4 (1)
Dashon Goldson - 4
Bernard Pollard - 4
Malcolm Jenkins - 4
Michael Griffin - 4
Ronde Barber - 3
Roman Harper - 3
Patrick Chung - 2 (1)
Ryan Clark - 2
Kam Chancellor - 2
Rahim Moore - 2
Ed Reed - 2
Tyvon Branch - 2
Madieu Williams - 2
Dawan Landry - 2
Harrison Smith - 2
Yeremiah Bell - 2
DeJon Gomes - 2
Eric Berry - 2
Charles Godfrey - 2

Those are all the players that have had more than 1 penalty this season. Another 33 safeties have one penalty exactly called against them this season.

I like the Gators kicker in the late rounds.

Caleb Sturgis*|*Florida,*K*:*2013 NFL Draft Scout Player Profile

He made a 56 yarder against Georgia.

I wish we had time to hold out for Austin Rehkow - Spokane HS kicker - 67 yarder

 

[tallglassofwater007]

As far as Goldson is concerned, last year he had some dumb personal fouls as well. But the one vs Seahawks I am not going to fault him for that. That is just something guys do. On the scramble when smith got hit hard vs the Rams, Dunbar stood over him yelling shit. That pissed me off, for one because you are talking to a QB (who was diving by the way) It wasn't exactly Frank Gore coming at him. And he didn't get a penalty when Goldson did for the same thing.

 

[TheNinerMind]

I'm ready to bring in competition. I now expect him to miss.

 

[h0ckeysk83r]

Ya this is not good coming into the playoff run and playoffs

 

[BINGO]

He's going through a phase. Eventually he'll regain his 2011 form at some point in December

 

[Arete Tzu]

I really wanted to give akers the benefit of the doubt after his first few misses, but he has forced me to accept that last year was a fluke. Pozz was right to maintain his fear of him.

 

[h0ckeysk83r]

I think he can.

I sure hope so anyways lol

 

[tomikcon1971]

If Harbs is going to be consistent, he brings someone in for a look. He did it at QB. Why exclude other positions?
