Zeroes - Hendershot's holding penalty on a converted 3rd down in the second half could have been a game changer. We dodged a bullet there.

Heroes:

Micah - Balled. No other way to put it.

Armstrong - balled.

DLaw - like rushing into a black hole. McVay spent a lot of plays trying to get that outside zone game going, and Lawrence repeatedly caved it.

Brown - tight coverage and a couple PBUs.

Pollard - you will see his TD run in "play of the year" highlight reels. He generated the only real yardage our offense had.


Zeroes:

Schultz. Invisible again, in a gameplan that wanted to check it down underneath.

Zeke. 3.5 YPC against a run defense that was giving up room.

Pollard's pass blocking. Yeesh.

Tyler Smith. "Zero" isn't fair to him, considering that blocking Aaron Donald one-on-one may be the hardest assignment in football. But it didn't go well either.

He had a highlite reel run breaking tackles last year too. I think against the Giants. He's a threat. Oh yeah. He had that big run earlier this year against the Giants. Not big, but he shrugs off arm tackles.

Pollard is so wasted here. They try make him do what he can't, and don't let him be what they brought him here to be - that RB/WR tweener. Not the 2nd string RB, but the 2nd RB on the field. OK, he can't block. Neither could any of our gimmick backs, though I think Dunbar wasn't horrible. But he's a full sized RB with WR speed and great contact balance.
