You know how I know we’re gonna get roasted?

They’re throwing screens all goddamn night.

Also, the Steelers... lots of misdirection, sweeps, jets, options, and screens.

I’m worried, VERY worried. Wink better get these fuckos in the film room and teach them about contain and discipline up front

Did I just hear Harbaugh say we had good communication with Tony Jefferson on the field wearing the green dot?!?!

I'm not really sure where to post this, but I almost want to remove myself from social media completely. Between the negativity from certain posters on this site and the hive mind that is Reddit, it just gets incredibly frustrating.

Just wanted to vent a little bit. Apparently it's the hot new thing to just absolutely roast Tony Jefferson more than offenses already are. And I get it, he's not playing well, but it's gotten a bit absurd. I just want to vent these two examples.

So, on Seals-Jones 56 yard reception, Marlon let Seals-Jones go when he completely bit on the pump fake to the flat. Apparently this was 100% Tony's fault because he was wearing the green dot and therefore it was miscommunication. It doesn't matter that 10 other guys all fulfilled their responsibilities correctly and knew the play- Marlon being overaggressive or just not knowing the play (truly, likely the former) is Tony's fault.

On Seals-Jones touchdown catch, Tony appeared to be in man coverage, but due to really good route combinations (never thought I'd say that about the Browns), he got caught up in traffic. The Browns used Demetrius Harris and Seals-Jones in a stack formation on the right side of the formation with Odell Beckham Jr on the left side and some other receiver who is irrelevant. Harris releases off the LoS and runs a corner route, but due to his positioning in the stack (first receiver to release is always inside), Harris directly cut off the route that Jefferson would take to cover Seals-Jones. Additionally, OBJ also ran across the formation, meaning Seals-Jones and OBJ were running across the formation and bringing traffic through, likely freeing one of the two if Jefferson had managed to fight through Harris. Anyway, Jefferson got largely taken out of the play. So what's the issue? Kenny Young. On the play, Kenny Young is in a middle zone and has two crossers coming across his face. Young, like the smart man he is, decides to follow OBJ who is completely blanketed, and doesn't react whatsoever to Seals-Jones who is running wide open. But hey, it's not Kenny Young's job in a zone defense to pick up the crosser that ran straight across his face.

you can put it here in in the post game thread. It's fine.

Absolutely Kenny Young's fault regarding the TD to Jones and Humphrey admitted fault on the 59 yarder to Seals Jones as well.

Tim Williams getting cut is pretty surprising. Seems like the FO is, again, sending a message about players without production.
