:lmao: Copy that!
I guess him eating that hotdog was of greater importance than observation of those final few seconds of the first half Sundayo_O

( that is still pretty much beyond comprehension, yet it happened:confused:)
Picking his nose..was my favourite of all time...never mind Jason's barnyard pictures...they have never been proven to a certainty!!!!:)o_Oo_O

Brown makes me nervous out there. He's got speed, but it seems like he's out of position all the time and just hasn't been victimized yet. The way Reid likes to target the weakest link, I was sure he was going to get a healthy dose of attention from Alex Smith last week.
I really dislike that dilly dilly crap. Can that be barred from the site. Very annoying and gets more obnoxious if you are drinking!! :)

Yeah, he's fast, and he's usually within a few feet of the action, but he's either not quite there, or he's grabbing and either getting called or has you looking around for a flag. I was worried about that Chefs game (and the Eagles are in the same boat), because they like taking those big shots doweled to the speed WRs. I thought sure we were going to see a pair of long TDs given up, but our pressure seemed to keep that under control this week. He did bite on the one double-move, but they didn't connect, so it didn't hurt us.

Last year, he was great. Hard to shake, and right there when the ball got there. Not sure why it looks different right now, but it definitely makes me sweat.
He was really good for a rookie. Great speed and sure tackler. One of his scouting reports mentioned how he uses his hands excessively. It’s like he has trouble “flipping” his hips when a receiver goes by him and his propensity to get caught looking in the backfield.

I really like the kid. Hope it’s just the sophomore thing...

I really like him, too.

I thought he and Jones were both going to really step up this year. They still might. I'm just surprised to see Brown tailing off a bit when I expected the competition to push him further forward.

The defense does feel like it's getting a bit of it's swagger going, though. Maybe it spills over to the DBs here. Especially if Awuzie comes back and they get younger, deeper, and more athletic suddenly.

I’m telling you folks, when this secondary gets seasoned, this D is gonna be nasty. The growing pains are tough but I venture to say we’ve already seen the worst of it.
I agree. At some point it will all slow down and click for Awuzie, Lewis, and Woods. I don’t know if that happens at some point this year or beginning next year, but when it does, that’s 3 skilled young defensive backs.

I sure hope so,we all pretty much came to this growing pains conclusion after the draft and in the lead up to preseason,but I sure never planned on the pain of both those Rams,Packers losses, nope,sure didn't bank on those two,,,,Leary gave it all over and up on us in the Denver game and I'm good,I can deal with that butt kicking ,but to play and dominate like we did and roll out as losers,,,thats some tough lucko_O

or may sit out another 45 months with Miles Austin syndrome

Miles Austin was a bit of an anomaly. He was super fast and could really hurt you deep. He had the speed of a thoroughbred, which makes sense since when he smiled really big he sort of looked a little bit like a horse.

AB is just so handsy... I don't know what it is, whether he doesn't have the change-of-direction speed to keep up so he has to impede, or if it's just something he does without thinking.
Either way, he's not performing as well as last year, for sure.

I can't argue with that but no one hand fights like the Seattle DBs.
