Tweet from Broaddus re Mack

[coult44]

Haven't had time to rewatch the game and there will be no coaches film to see. And I don't trust completely what I see during a game. If I get a chance then I'll rewatch it. I trust Callahan and Broaddus reasonably well esp the former.

I usually do also.

I'm concerned too.

His inconsistencies are maddeningly frustrating.

When he has his act together, the guy is very solid. But then he has these gaffes that leave you shaking your head and might get his QB killed.

Pretty much Costa at guard. Both are too inconsistent to be starters. Good backups tho.

I don't think they want to put Costa out there at G. I still looking at a game day lineup of Smith, Leary, Fred, Bernie, Free with Parnell the swing T and Costa the backup G. Add Ski or Arkin at backup G. That's going to change when we lose a starter. If they do go Smith, Leary, Fred, Free, and Parnell then they may want have to put another T out there game day and I don't know who that would be although I'd guess Bell. With three tackles on the field at the same time then expect a 1/3 increase in the chance of injury. One goes down and then you have to have a swing tackle.

That's my thought is that they will keep bell as the swing tackle. If one if the OT goes down Mack will slide in and free will go to tackle. I think they keep Bell Costa and Killer and maybe Arkin or Cook

I don't agree with Broaddus all the time but he's got enough cred for me to respect his opinion. I don't get the hate for him on this right now. For all of you who think he's just a homer find me some other credible opinion that disagree's with Broaddus analysis of Mack's performance vs Cincy. (CBZ poster's do not qualify).

What I meant was Bernie is the guard version of Costa at center. Both show flashes that make you think that there is something there but when you watch the game tape there are just too many inconsistencies. When Bernie is bad, he is flagrantly bad. Meaning his mistakes leads to the destruction or near destruction of the entire play. You hear him speak, he sounds like an intelligent guy who cares about the job and he's got good size and athleticism, I don't know why he can't get it. Maybe this guy is just meant to be a backup.

That would explain why our run blocking is so terrible but the pass protection for whatever reason seems to be okay.

You mean you can't go back and look at the game again and see for yourself? I think what you are missing is he has been a hard defender of Mack since last year. That's why a lot of people are questioning his analysis. How can so many people be wrong and seeing the same thing yet BB sees it different? Also connect the dots. Why move Mack from RG to LG when he's been the RG. If they just wanted to get Parnell snaps at OT all they had to do was plug Free at LG. don't think for a min that Leary isn't going to start at LG. there is more to this and all you have to do is pay attention.

Thanks for making me actually use my brain..took me like 10 friggin mins for me to figure out that you believe the team is looking to replace Mack!!...Or am I wrong..don't tell me I'm wrong. I've had a few beers and the last few sentences of your post read like a chinese puzzle.

Lol just trying to connect the dots bro that's all. It's one thing to get Parnell snaps at OT but its another to move your "starting" RG to LG just to get Free some snaps at OG for a "backup plan" I think if Parnell was healthy for camp this move would've been made weeks ago. I think the wild card as to why it wasn't done in OTA's is they weren't sure if Leary was going to step up. Once he stepped up and won that job it became a whole new ball game and that's why they were working Fred and OG. Now that Parnell is healthy and Leary coming back it all makes sense that they explored this but didn't let it leak out. At least that's how I see it and makes the most sense

   @BryanBroaddus Why is Mack so inconsistent? Great some ok some and awful some. What's up? Love your work.

   Bryan Broaddus ‏@BryanBroaddus
   @jobberone There is far more good than bad in his game. When he gets in trouble it's because his feet are bad. He can sit down on a rusher.
   
   
2. jobberone ‏@jobberone
   @BryanBroaddus Is Mack getting off the snap ok? Mentally? Just not moving his feet at times or confused some and slow to react?

Still gotta wonder how healthy he is and how much that's affecting his play. The problem with him is he has to be in peak condition just to be average but I think he's probably doing exactly what they got him to do which is plug a hole till something better comes along.

i'm starting to lose respect for broaddus.

Lost it along time ago. He is fun to listen to. Just do not make the mistake and think about what he said.

 

[TwentyOne]

It's amazing how consistently bad Bernadeau is.

I was shocked when i saw his play against the Cards. And i was more shocked that some people actually liked his play.

 

[burmafrd]

Well not consistently bad. Just inconsistent.

By the way, how is your Costa prediction going?

Oh. Well like BB said. He isn't bad that often. He and Parnell are really alike in that they look bad on occasion. I do think Parnell doesn't have an in between.

I'm just glad we have three tackles. And we are much better and deeper along the interior. I'm not as worried about the OL at this point as I am DB and DL. And I"m not as worried about those as I was. I actually think this is a contending team although it has to stop the mistakes better. Defensive takeaways are extremely encouraging.

I think our run blocking is fairly good actually. I haven't seen enough yet to be sure of that but I'm very encouraged.

I wonder about his health as well. Supposedly he's doing reasonably well with it. I don't agree about him being in peak condition to be average though. He can be dominating at times and good more often than that. He's just too inconsistent for me. But then so are Smith, Parnell, Free and Fred. Fred has a good excuse while the others don't. They're not as inconsistent as Bernie though. But I do think we have to wait to have 3 or 4 regular seasons games and the coaches film to get a better feel for them all.

Callahan likes Bernie as well. So that makes me wonder why other people have differing opinions including myself although I seem to be well into the minority about how well he plays vs many here.

Not sure how many actually liked his play as much as saying he played reasonably well much of the time with some obvious bad plays thrown in there. People are encouraged by the better line play overall as well as the depth. That's what I'm hearing when I read their posts and I agree strongly with that FWIW.

watching the 49ers oline depresses me,we are hanging onto crumbs and they open up huge holes for their RB.
