Yikes not used to seeing Taron get dusted like that

Guys need to start getting benched for crap like what Samuel just did. We are an extremely low margin for error offense because we have zero downfield passing. Can't live with mistakes like that.

Brady just can't get the dumb mistakes out of his offense

Yeah because he left the ground while making the catch... Just make the routine catch. I mean whatever, it's not Elijah Moore's fault he's getting snaps.

Cook is so good

He was supposed to get both feet down on a routine sideline catch

Moore just sucks. It's embarrassing he is still on the team

Keep Cook on the field

Young DBs were the difference on that drive. Sometimes you just have to take a chance and let them play

Greg Olsen broke it down. I'll take his word for it

Not for nothing, since Hairston came in Dalton is not finding anything open downfield

Let's go!!

Looks like Bishop way overran his gap there

Hairston again was hip to hip with his man on that throwaway. Looking good

Looked like good coverage from Hairston there at least

You don't know what you're watching

No Dawkins just made a dumb mistake and left the inside man unblocked

Yeah we don't have a normal drop back pass game... Especially with Palmer missing no one can get open. We need to win defensive battles until Beane does the right thing and trades for a WR.

Runs to anyone other than Cook just don't look the same. That extra half second of hesitation makes all the difference

Lol Hawes took on two defenders there. Beast

That is what this offense has to be. Pound Cook, short/horizontal passes.

There you go. Shut down the run and force the offense to go through Andy Dalton.

Yeah Hairston being activated and expected to play this early is the first sign I've seen in a while that McDermott is feeling some heat. The way he's talked about his "mental reps" made me think we were several weeks away. I wonder if Beane put some pressure on the situation too... His recent draft record has major question marks and he needs a win. They can't afford to be patient and this has forced McDermott to step outside his comfort zone.

Now that's interesting. What exactly does "expected to play" mean? I'll guess some rotated in snaps but White remaiming the primary starter. That is still a huge surprise considering McDermott has been constantly telling the media that Hairston is way behind on practice reps.
