    Maybe it was because of Griffin. Hoping so.

    That's a part of my theory as well.

    1. Griffin plays deep center field.
    2. George Wilson was in Griffin's spot.
    3. Wilson is typically our tight end coverage specialist who plays man-up on the other team's receiving tight end.

    I noticed Wilson exclusively covering the tight end didn't happen today and there was a lot more zone than usual.

    Williams/Gray had no answers for the Niners and was very average most of the game yesterday.

    I like Casey but the guy disappears at times. Hill is okay but the DTs were pushed around most of the game.

    I said it in another thread but want to watch the All-22 because McCarthy looked to struggle getting off blocks.

    I saw a lot of poor open-field tackling yesterday. The defense needs to play better if they want to find themselves in that #6 playoff spot.

    I was just really disappointed that we let their qb throw all over us. That was a joke.

    Historically we've been awful after the bye - hopefully that played a part.

    Pretty uninspired play. Casey made a couple of plays, but the Rams basically did what they wanted.

    I think they really missed Griffin. I hope.

    Zac Stacy is also pretty legit. How many times did we absolutely blow up a play and he still got 3 or 4 yards. ...or he stretched those 4 yard gains into 8 yard gains.

    He plays hard, gives 110% on every carry -- wouldn't that be nice to have? :cj:

    Akeem Ayers is the guy i'm most disappointed in. Barely average he is on pace to have half as many tackles as last year and he has less impact as a edge rusher.

    He really is not outstanding in any area of his game and good blocking TEs handle him on run plays.

    We have been waiting for this guy to emerge into a total stud but he's not.

    I thought at the beginning of the year, everyone was excited for Ayers because he was supposed to be our pass rusher???!!! What ever happened to that? For some reason Williams pulled the defense back the past couple of games. I really want to see the defense we had to start the year with! It seemed the scheme was to pressure pressure pressure, but we got away from that. I'm sure they have their reasons, but I love the pressure defense better
