Blinkscout Game lucky 13 ... Falcons and the Last Straw
|
|
I almost broke my 2 day rule and simply posted a stream of expletives on Sunday evening ... figures this would be the game Fisher got the axe ...
I will say that unlike the last regimes that have vacated, I'm pretty happy with his drafting (though I mean on the defensive side along with Gurley and Goff) and we will have players to work with going forward rather than being forced to scour waiver wires from other teams.
I also think that of all the coaches that got fired here, he probably had the hardest job and the worst luck. I wish him luck going forward and a good Montana vacation for now.
Also, the players have said they feel like they let the coach down ... yes, they did. You're adults. It's your job to self motivate focus. While some of the issues were scheme (especially on offense), dropped passes, penalties and blown assignments are all on individuals not being able to manage their own minds.
The Good
1) I'd say every aspect of our dysfunction was displayed in one game. I think you could go through and show every player their weakness.
2) Tavon and Goff seemed to have some chemistry.
3) Pharoh Cooper sighting
4) Michael Jordan looked like a rookie, but one that was only a half step behind.
5) Longacre playing hard (though past the whistle)
6) I'm in 4 fantasy leagues, and in 4 playoffs for the first time.
The Bad
7) Drops.
8) Malcolm Brown fumbling.
9) Higbee not tracking back to the ball.
10) Run defense inside the 5. Wow.
11) My empathy for those that paid human dollars to sit in the stands for that.
12) The first TD was scored faster than it takes to run the entire length of the field.
The Ugly
13) The Offensive line.
14) After you notice that Beasley has an edge on Havenstein, you assign someone to chip and help.
15) Britt's expression after the INT careened off his chest into the arms of a defender on our first drive.
16) The 2017 draft at OT. Ugh.
The Hard to swallow
17) Tavon's contract.
18) Barron's contract if we change defenses.
19) Quinn's contract.
College
20) The bowl games don't really get exciting till the 30th from what I've seen.
MOCK DRAFT
2) Demarcus Walker DE FSU This is going to be a tough pick. The idea that a top end WR and CB will be there also makes this difficult.
3) Ethan Pocic OC LSU
4) King CB WASH
4) Luani FS Wash St.
5) Fred Ross WR Miss St.
6) Josiah Price TE Mch St.
Thoughts and comments welcome ...
