Things that got exposed

[kskboys]

1. Pollard. I still like him, but he absolutely is not an up the middle RB. Desperately need a pounder to side him. Going into the season w/ him as the starter and two more little dudes as backups never made sense.
2. DT-3 tech. Hankins was beastly last night, but the play of the guy beside him was just poor. I like Osa and Golston, I do, but they need to be the rotational guys. We need that guy, the one who consistently pushes the pocket and disrupts the QB. That is one of the reasons Micah was ineffective last night, not enough push up the middle. Mazi was a start, but we need to start building up the DLine w/ topnotch disruptors. Average is not getting it done.
3. WR. I like Lamb, but he's more of a 1B type WR. Need that monster there.
4. LB. Need better ones.
5. TE. I like Fergie, but we miss that getting open ability that Schultzie brought. I know, I know, y'all hate Schultzie, but we are missing the one thing that he does at a very high level: Getting open. It continually amazes me how that is so underrated by so many fans. He killed it for Houston yesterday, BTW.
6. S. We do have decent ones now, but we're still missing that CF ballhawk type FS.

Anything I missed?

Yea the most important and obvious of them all…the qb

Cornerback since diggs has gone down has been meh. Bland is a good ballhawk but our coverage has dropped.

and this

lack of discipline
not playing smart
those two against a superior opponent and you don't stand a chance

Defense got exposed big time. They set the tone to that game by letting the 9ers March right down there throat opening kickoff. Punched them right in the mouth on that drive. I know offense didn't help much at all, but that was the first drive, Defense was fresh, no excuses. The defense played themselves this game.

Incorrect. That was exposed a long time ago, and I'd really like to have a few convo's about something else. There are plenty of Dak threads to voice your opinion.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

The run game is a McCarthy problem.

There is no creativity to it. No motion. No misdirection. If we are lined up under center it's a run. If we line up shotgun it's a pass. Then we force Pollard into a pile of bodies.

I'm still thinking that Parsons might have been exposed as DE. Too many times last night I saw the RB run right by him.

Yup, and Polly is simply not an up the middle RB.

Noticed how big 9ers Linebackers are compared to ours? We can't be a physical Defense with safties at the linebacker position smh

Yep a lot of the other issues become non-issues if you fix that one

Agree. S's at LB only work if the other team goes Passpasspass. Maybe when we play KMO!!!!!

 

[glimmerman]

Our O-Line has not had time to gel. Dak ran for his life all night and refuses to take off with it like he used to. Holds the ball too long.

Defense just can’t stop the run. We had no pressure. And secondary played poor.

Bottom line is niners have a team that can beat us 8 out of 10 times. If we stopped the run we could have beater them.

Our O-Line will get better. That’s the only good thing.

You guys might want to be careful about bringing that up in a thread not about him. You might get some time off.

I disagree, Dak wasn't exposed he has always been that way but some people ignore the fact. He averages 1 TD per game this season, guess how many TD passes he had against SF? In the last 2 games against SF Dak has thrown 5 ints.

Yup. OP just looking for other scapegoats. Imagine thinking Lamb got exposed when he has garbage at QB

Stopping the run needs better players at UT(3tech). That's what you're seeing.

Incorrect, and you, my good sir, are better than this. Accusing me of this is very weak.

 

[Pass2Run]

I didn't notice us rotating Parsons much. He's always on the field. And we relied on him too much, and they dismantled his game, on most plays.

I would still like to see Parsons at LB against teams like San Fran. I can see why they'd use him at the edge mostly against the Eagles. But if we play the 9ers again, I want Parsons at LB. JMO.

The only scapegoat was McCarthy. He knew it was himself, too. It was the first thing out of his mouth. That makes two games. I'm pretty sure Dak misses Kellen Moore.
