Isaac Yiadom shouldn't be a starter.

If tonight proved anything, it's that Yiadom is a reserve/special teams player only. Carr threw at him early and often and getting down 2 scores early was the result of that.

And Hamilton needs to learn how to catch the ball, not let the ball catch him.

Special teams was rocky. That big return late hurt bad.

Other than that, not the worst performance ever. Need to tighten some things up here and there, but I think this team can be okay.

Problem is we don’t have anyone else other than Yiadom. Have no clue about Callahan and we could move Jackson back to CB but that leaves us super thin at Safety.

We did just get that defensive back from the Pats, Duke Dawson. I can't believe he'd be any worse than Yiadom.

Callahan and James both injured
Wasn’t that their history on their previous teams . Maybe not.

Yes there was a history.

Yiadom is young. He was bad tonight though. He reminds me of Karl Paymah overdrafted on his physical tools but he got better as last year went on so hopefully we see improvement and consistency going forward. We as fans can complain and give up on players all we want but it’s all about learning from mistakes and getting better. Hopefully these guys who struggled tonight do that.

I was having flashbacks to Ray Rhodes trying to figure out Rich Gannon ...

Tyrell Williams was a tough matchup for him, and Williams looked like he may be ready to take Cook's role with the Raiders ..

Fangio didn't do much in the way of helping Yiadom until it was too late ... Yiadom is returning from a pretty serious shoulder injury in addition to still being green out there as far as experience ... He had a nice pick vs Garappolo and I think he's got more of that type of play in him ...

btw ... did Von Miller suit up ?? ... damn, at least Yiadom hit somebody out there

Well, that was coached by design wear out the pass rushers early and then when there good and tired go over the top.

And Early on he was not going to get close by design. Quick passes. directional passes and quick runs.

Smoke and mirrors

Yiadom wasn't that bad - he obviously shouldn't have been matchup with Waller. Todd Davis or Cory Nelson would have been better defenders - especially in the zone.

Cook’s role is now Waller’s. Tyrell Williams plays WR. Jared Cook TE.

He was pretty bad last night. But he hasn’t been this bad since we got him. Last year his first time out there he was awful too then played much better as year went on.

He did not cost the game either if we score every time in the red zone we win

Yes - the results were bad, but he had decent positioning on most of the catches against him. Last night he didn't have the presence of mind or athleticism to disrupt the receptions, but he was in position. This is why I indicated it wasn't that bad - being there is more than half the trick. I think he was intimidated by Waller's size, strength and speed. Let's see if the Broncos can coach him up - or move him around in the protections.

It was bad. As an NFL CB you need to learn how to play the ball. It was bad. Am I worried? Not really, he is young a corner showed he can play last year.

Cook, in his role last year, was Carr's favorite target .. Williams looks to be taking that role this year

DC, sometimes you are too quick to try to correct or knock down what others have to say .. In truth it can get annoying because unless someone is receiving a paycheck from the Broncos or some other NFL team, we're all just fans here ..

Stop trying to be anything more than that, because you're not

Texans cut their starting CB after a bad game this weekend though he may have been in the doghouse but still shows it’s a tough business

You only get 16 of these to try to win. It’s not a try hard league it’s a do good league. As Fangio said, cant help him out all the time.

And who is Karl Paymah ??
