He would frustrate the hell out of Kyle Shanahan. The 49ers offense is a paint by numbers offense. If you don't paint by the right number Shanahan hates it. He doesn't want ad libers. He wants people who run his plays. Because he is the best play designer in football and he is an arrogant so and so. It is why his best success has been with system QBs.... Schuab in Houston, Ryan in Atlanta, Jimmy and Brock in San Fran. But if Josh could learn to just run Kyle's plays it would be deadly.

Pour it in the turf at Shite Hart Lane?

Eisen is a Jet fan. He is an excellent anchor. Never thought much of him as a play by play guy.

Milano, White, Rousseau, Von Miller, Daquan Jones. I mean those 5, plus Oliver, are our best defensive players. Take 5 of the 6 best defensive players off ANY defense in the NFL and they struggle. I don't think that is a GM issue. It is an injury issue. The only place where you can, IMO, point to Beane based on defensive performance so far is at safety. You expressed that concern in pre-season (and I agreed it was a legit concern) about two old safeties both coming off injury. So far it does look like bringing both back was an error. We look slow back there. That might be a GM mistake. The rest is just injuries that tbh no team in the league would be able to sustain without significant drop off.

I don't think our defense was overrated through 4 weeks. It was playing incredibly well bar some alignment issues in the first game. What happened today was they ended up talent deficient and that is what showed up. Nothing more, nothing less. Not Xs and Os. Jimmies and Joes. If a defense of: AJE - Oliver - Phillips - Vickers Lewis - Bernard - Dodson Elam - Hyde - Poyer - Jackson Played 17 games it would finish bottom or very close to bottom in all categories.

I definitely think the time difference was a factor. It is fine if it is the same for both teams. But it wasn't. Jax had a significant advantage. But the injuries are just bad luck I think.

Nobody ever argued that losing Milano wouldn't be a problem. But Bernard played a good game, again. Even with clowns to the left of him and jokers to the right. I have certainly never told you we'd be find with Dodson or Williams in. In fact before Bernard came out and showed us he can play I called that position a liability based on pre-season. And we didn't have Floyd all day today. He came out of the game too nicked up. We ended the game with a practice squad DTackle playing defensive end on our first unit. We were already down both our starting corners. And our best player on D was gone and replaced by two guys who have no business out there (one not good enough and one currently an overmatched rookie). Add to that Taron missed time... I mean the personnel we had out there at times today on defense was exactly the sort of defense I'd expect a good QB - which Trevor is - to exploit. He had to kill that play if it is the one I think you are on about. That was on Josh. Should have killed the play and it should have been a quick pass out to the other side.

I just don't think we had the horses on defense. We ended up with a practice squad defensive tackle playing defensive end with our 1s and Dodson and Williams splitting time at WILL. But on the decision to fly out late.... I tend to agree. I am sure they went with the sports science and I am no expert but I know I always take like 3 days to get right after that journey. On the penalties.... like I say I didn't see the hands to the face. Will want to watch that back. Ed was round his waist so I struggle to see it. I thought the one in the middle of the field (was that called on Poyer) was a joke. The Jags receiver ran into him. That was egrigous. Equally the RTP they called for the DT on Josh on the Gabe TD drive.... that was a bad call as well IMO. Yes he "landed" on Josh but he didn't piledrive him to the ground to my eye. He just completed the tackle.

Bernard was. It was a shambles at the will. Dodson and the rookie were all over the place. Out of position, slow to react, biting on fakes.

He didn't have the momentum. He was trying to come back to the ball. The DB was attacking it. Just the laws of physics favoured the defender. Would have been an incredible grab if he came down with it.

Maybe. Will watch back. My instinct was flag.

I think he hit Lawrence after the ball had gone.

That may well be the case. That is something I immediately thought but it was a definite underthrow. There may well be a reason.

He should have recongised they were in a ton of man and ran some man beating concepts. He was still running our dink and dunk vs zone offense.

The first one I am happy to look again but I can't see it. He was around TLaw's waist. Either they called it on the wrong person or it was a phantom penalty. Again right under my nose in that endzone. Maybe I will see it when I watch back. The 2nd one was RTP but he was just trying to make a play. I will never kill a DT for that penalty there.

Josh underthrew the pick. Definitely. Was right in front of me and Diggs had to come back 3 or 4 yards to even compete for that ball. If he gets it out in front it is a touchdown. Other than that play though I am not putting any of the rest on Josh. OL had its worst game. Drops all over the place. Run game never got going. And confusing gameplan... against a team running a lot of man we ran no outside rubs, I didn't see a single crosser.... that is "playing against a man team playcalling 101".

I'd add Oliver and Bernard. Those two were very good. The rest... meh.

This is right but both he and Hyde do look slow.

Because Angeball needs it.

You have managed to make me feel worse not better 🤣🤣

I feel deflated, man. Two silver linings: 1. I could walk home. 2. The mighty Gunners made the walk home a successful one.

Think that is the season. Sorry to be negative. But in two weeks we lost oir 2 best defenders. Von clearly can't go yet. And our safeties are just too far gone. Ed Oliver, AJE and Bernard were brilliant. Not enough around them.

How you doing in here without me guys? I am shoutboxing as easier from in stadium. I am knackered. No idea how you guys do this 8 or 9 times a year.... sweating, voice has gone.... only half way through 😂

Milano is seriously injured. He couldn't put any weight on it at all. That might be his season.

I am more nervous than I ever am watching at home. This is like AFCCG level nerves.
