Yeah, I'm most worried about Spags versus Slowik. That's the worst mismatch of the game and possible of the entire NFL weekend.
I sure hope Mixon is able to play. We need him Saturday. He's already missed games in the regular season. Not as many as Al Shaair and Autrey at least, but man, Hunter is the only one of all of our FA pickups who has played every game.
Stephen A., what needs to be said. If he thinks we have no chance, then I am more optimistic than ever.
I'm on board with this for 10-15 plays a game. Put him at the front of the stack and let run deep clear out routes for Nico. Also let him run curls, outs and back shoulder fades. Nothing over the middle.
Hell yes, why not? Pull out all the stops. I remember the Patriots would put Deion Branch in as CB in critical times, this would be like the reverse of that.
Need to copy some of what McVay is doing with the offense. He really caught Flores off guard and pretty much rolled out an unseen playbook for the game vs the Vikes. Really impressive when you watch the film.
That makes me want to draft another defensive rush stopping quarterback sacking stud to make us the most talked about defense for years to come, or even go for another top safety for our secondary. If our first pick could land one of those I'd be as happy as getting a TE, wide receiver, or OL. After all, Gronkowski was a second round pick, and Travis Kelce was a 3rd round pick. Anquan Boldin and Davonte Adams were 2nd round picks, and Cooper Kupp was a 3rd round pick.
