Is this good?

Its dumbfounding that some folks think Geno is a quality QB.

Its also worth noting that while while both QB's were pressured the same amount of times, Purdy was pressured on 14/28 attempts (50%) and Geno was pressured on 14/52 attempts (27%)

I don't know how many times the Hawks used play action. But they could not get their running game untracked despite the 49ers playing a lot of backups.

So in a pure drop back game, the bar is much higher.

The reason he's not fired is changing the ST coach midseason won't make much of an impact. There are only like two ST coaches so you really don't have a lot to choose from to replace him.

Kyle will likely move on from him this offseason though unless we see a dramatic turnaround with STs.

Might influence the way they draft and we might see later round picks being used for specifically their ST value and not their positional value.

The bigger question is why did he keep his job this season? Our coverage units have been a problem for years, and they've only gotten worse.

I agree he should've been canned this past offseason.

I will be fair though and I do think this team should put a little more emphasis on ST value when it comes to building the roster.

Maybe it's me but it feels like we throw the scraps of the roster to Special Teams and don't really have any sort of guys that really excel at it. A lot of teams with great special teams have guys who are great special teamers and not just "Well you're our 5th DB so you gotta play ST".

Makes me miss the Tony Montana days of special teams under Harbaugh as those guys had an identity and it seemed like it was a matter of pride to be on the unit.

DFF and Odum were brought in specifically for their STs ability. We had the LB Ezekiel Turner, I want to say, who got beat out by Bethune. I'm assuming STs were part of that. Patrick Taylor was largely a STs add. He didn't get a single snap until Mason went down.

I think it's coaching way more than roster construction. Granted we've got guys like Winters and Mustapha who, in a perfect world, would be playing STs rather than starting at this point. And when those guys get pulled up, others have to play STs. But we were pretty healthy last year and our coverage units were still bad.

ill take the dub but that was *way* too close in a game we're +3 in TOs.

We had to make it interesting in that third quarter and stupidly give up a return TD and a 95+ yard TD drive. Team is bizarre this season with how dominant it is in first halves and how they completely forget how to play in second.

I was reading somewhere that on that long Gurendo run the sidelines were telling him to get down but I'm still of the mind that it was better to score in the scenario.

Sure it worked out because we forced two TOs out of Seattle and got a TD anyways but we were really rolling the dice.

And maybe I'm wrong here but the score at the time was 29-24 so if we run 3 times and don't get it in we kick the FG and make it 32-24. That's an 8 point lead and still makes it a 1-score game.

Going up 36-24 makes it a 2 TD game so wouldn't the preferred scenario be to give Seattle the ball with all their TOs and force them to score a TD and get an onside kick vs giving Seattle 0 TOs but only needing a TD and 2pt conversion to tie the game?
