Geno’s cheesesteaks

Anyone else ready for this "Give them their flowers" phrase to hit the dustbin of history?

I don't see anything hardly worth watching today except San Fran v Philly. My money is on the Eagles. Not just being a home game, but I think they're the best team in the league. Which makes next week's game so big. I'm not worried about our defense being up for it. But our lack of a solid running attack really concerns me. It's something we didn't address in the off-season and I think we're really going to regret it.

I'll take the other side. Except for a couple weird weeks, SF has been far more impressive than Philly. I think the Eagles get spanked two weeks in a row starting today.

I hope you're right

Never thought I'd say this, but I'm not concerned about Dak in next week's game. McCarthy has done an excellent job, and Dak seems to have settled in to a much higher level.

4. It's not the injury, he was never that good to begin with.

Maybe, but his first 3 years, especially season 2, he was a good WR2.

I would expect struggles if he were WR1, but I still feel it is injury or rehab related. He just fell off a cliff production wise. He can't even do shit as WR3.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Nice change from the Niner playoff game last year where Warner too often said he didn't even understand the concepts of what we were trying to do.

This is maybe the first one of these I remember seeing where I'm encouraged by our coach and QB.

But we seemed to be running him a lot on either sideline routes or 50/50 balls with him. I don't ever remember him being a dynamic receiver where there were a lot of things we could do with him. And his numbers were declining long before the ACL injury.

Yes, very much.

It doesn't even make that much sense. How many times have you ever gotten flowers for doing something well? Never? Oh. Me either.

Just another lazy trendy saying where it was maybe clever the first time someone said it but then instantly died and became stupid and lazy when copied.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Not just being a home game,

That's my big concern. Historically teams traveling west coast to east coast don't tend to do well.

I don't know the source, but it feels like a malaprop that caught fire on social media and now people think it's legitimate.

A good WR2? Maybe a pretty good 3.

What irritates me with him is the lazy routes, which causes breakups and interceptions. I get that it's not the most fun thing to run 30 routes a game hard when you only get a target or two, but that's life for that position. That guy needs to always play hard and do the dirty work, which I don't think Gallup is suited for. That's why I like Brooks. He does strike me as that guy.

4. It's not the injury, he was never that good to begin with.

I also think as great of a guy as he is, he doesn't work very hard at route running. He makes cool catches but his routes are just lazy which makes me think his work ethic isn't very good.

No it wasn't. Somebody posted a clip where they stated that the throw was probably meant for Gallup. Go back and watch the play again. Gallup had posted up the CB and was facing the QB. Turpin had to jump pretty high to make the catch. If the ball made it past him, it would have still been waist high or better when getting to Gallup.

so I did, and you're right. The camera angle allows you to see that the trajectory would carry the ball far enough to reach Gallup.
A different camera shot facing the endzone from behind Turpin made it look like there's no way the ball makes it to Gallup.

Today is a perfect Red Zone day.

There's not a single "must watch" game in the 1:00 window.

They just showed a pretty surprising stat on NFL Network.

The 49ers under Kyle Shanahan are 0-37 when trailing by 8+ points entering the 4th quarter.

Probably from having relatively spare QBs? And because they're so dependent on play action and the threat of a running game.
