Where is the Jimmy G from last year? he seems off (@JWalizerJr)Well, where is Marquise Goodwin? Garoppolo’s favorite target got hurt 17 snaps into the season opener. Garoppolo played best Sunday in an up-tempo approach but he dropped anchor in the pocket for six sacks. Enough throws are sailing off mark to cause concern, but he’s still settling into a complex offense. He won’t be “off” too long.
Is Jimmy g taking sacks because he is holding the ball too long waiting for someone to come open or was Detroit secondary that good at covering (@paz1326)
Yes. And yes, although the Lions’ holding habit caught up to them and took away a fourth-quarter interception.
Can you see Thomas and Armstead getting less playing time moving forward? (@money102974)
Thomas already is playing less than 50 percent of the snaps, so if he plays less, he may as well be inactive. Armstead is faring OK as a run stopper but needs more pass-rushing presence, as does the whole defense.
