GDT: 49ers vs Lions

[HawkeyeHater]

Stafford is off target today

He typically is in the first qtr, he gets too amped up and losses accuracy......

D cant be on the field All day and play at this level..we need to give em a break

 

[SY8goat]

Run the ball! Give it to GOre n Hunter!

Not assume, but feel. Staley was beat to the outside, meaning Smith could've stepped up inside. I'm not excusing Staley, but Smith could've done more on that.

He just didn't see it man, you gotta get over that. QB's get hit from their blindside all the time. When people say "feel" the pressure coming from their blindside, it just means they see it out of the corner of their eye. We're not dealing with psychics here. Staley got beat, Alex didn't see him great beat and he got the ball taken.

We need to get some of these defenders off the LOS.

Since when does a QB need to see a DE to feel his pressure? C'mon.

 

[Dodub]

Man we gotta get something working on O

I had no idea QBs can't use there feet in the pocket at the top of their drop. God forbid Smith double clutches, steps up a foot, and releases the football.

You can expect this to be my last post about Alex Smith with you in this thread.

So, don't release it on time. Do a double clutch expecting a defender on your back hip and then flip it to VD. The play the designed to be a quickish play to get Vernon the ball. It was on time but Staley failed super quick.

Just got on...how did the fumble happen? Smith get stripped/sacked?

 

[clyde_carbon]

Another flag? Really?

 

[jds_49ers]

This is ridiculous now.

 

[yossarian]

Another goddam fucking flag.

 

[NinersFan80]

so frustrating

 

[SRPnVA]

If we can get through this quarter only down 1 possesion we'll be lucky.

Since always. What QB in the NFL hasn't been hit from his blind spot? QB's don't "feel" anything they see the pressure coming or hear a cue coming from their OL. But I'm done with this ridiculous conversation and returning to the game.

 

[Mozart'sGhost]

Nice hit by Culliver.

Staley got beat. DE grabbed the ball out of Smith's hands. Never hit the ground.

Vaden Bosch beat Staley badly and just took the ball from Smith

Yes, that's the key. Minimize the damage until the 49ers can figure out what they are doing. Don't let the game get out of hand.

 

[Dodub]

Why is the OL "winded"? They've literally did nothing.
