Week 8: Lamar, Our Hands, and The Coaching

Harbaugh basically just said it was a personnel decision that they're going to keep internal.

I'm probably gonna shoot my guy a text on this one.

"Personnel decision" just means he was benched. Harbaugh rarely if ever, throws any of his players under the bus but you'd have to be pretty dense not to see what's going on. He was graded one of, if not the worst safety in the NFL. You can't keep throwing someone out there that is that bad. So, he puts Washington out there and he drops 3 potential interceptions and gets lit up in the back end as bad as Williams. Who's next?
 
editing this shit cuz I realized I was wrong and mads has been pretty solid. Wtf is wrong with this defense...

Major issue that is fucking us rn is the drop off of Nnamdi and his pathetic 2 sacks this year. I know it might be scheme and idk what his pressures have looked like, but he isn't making nearly enough production to match his price. We all knew last year would probably be his peak but still expected him to dominate, I feel like I rarely notice him anymore.

Always loved him as a player and still do but if you are making 25 mil a year as a pass rusher you need to step up. He's open to criticism now imo. Makes more than fucking Max Crosby. Hopefully he gets back on track or that contract is going to look like Brandon Williams's.

Name one defensive player that is playing better than last year? There isn't one. Maybe Humphrey. Not good

No doubt, just calling him out as a big money maker. Marcus Williams sucks and none of us know wtf is going on. I'm on the theory train that something's up with Roquan / have faith he will rebound.
That leaves us with just one 15 mil+ guy.

Travis jones and maybe kvn have been better but everyone else the same or worse

What's funny is many including myself thought Trenton Simpson would be the problem. I literally haven't noticed him at all, probably a bad thing but still...

It feel like Marcus has quit on the team. There is something going on her with him and Harbs or Orr it seems.

Needless to say ,hes released after this season .100 percent chance.

I feel like he’s been having a really strong season and has been one of the few bright spots on defense. Yesterday was the first time I felt he disappeared

Unsure cuz on mobile but I thought there was a tough cap dead with cutting him this offseason. But agreed, we can slide his money straight over to Hamilton or a new fs. (Maybe Stevens too)

It's truly mind boggling how a defense can first to worst like this.

Can we ship Odafe and a first for Crosby? I'm tired of our failed "athletes first" pass rusher 2nd attempts.

Oweh was the opposite of our usual pass rusher type, we never used to draft athletes and obsessed with sack totals for prospects, the motto was “if you can get to the qb in college you can do it in the nfl too” and it used to fucking infuriate me when they said it in post draft press conferences

Browns interior line is solid. I was honestly surprised he only had 2 sacks I thought it'd be closer to 4. I usually don't have a problem with players not producing stats when young, but I have an issue when you are making Arron Donald money. Pressures are outstanding and useful, but sacks end drives.

IMO one of the biggest reasons we can never close out game drives is we never get a sack under 2 minutes. Myles and Tj always feast in this situations, and a 3rd and 20 ends the game.

Literally as I type this I'm recalling the sack he had on burrow to end the bengals game regulation and taking back some of my critism lol..

He also had a very likely game ending sack vs raiders called back for a facemask even though it was clearly the chest plate he grabbed. Was also robbed of a safety by a loophole that rewards the offense for committing 2 penalties on the same play.

BK has been kind of a monster this season tbh.

Honestly valid points I kinda just don't know who to be angry at and why shit isn't working. You are correct on both of those robberies. He had a great hit stick on baker too
