nevermind

I said such high hopes for him but he just didn't get it done. He had some explosive moments last year but this year it's like he forgot what to do, or was just overlooked by the coaching staff. I would have liked to see more jet sweeps and stuff, but if the guy is costing you games because he's muffing punts and dropping passes, it's hard to WANT to get the ball in his hands more.

Chara stabilizes the defensive unit. I dont think we should expect him to be some scoring monster as much as he's gonna be more of a crease clearing presence. He'll also crash the boards a bit, but I can't imagine he's going to be an offensive factor.

🤔🤔🤔

I think they have up til game time to activate him, the story will be if he travels with the team.

Yeah it's so inconsistent, and visibly incorrect at times that it's frustrating. What I want to know is how we got called for 2 roughing penalties against Detroit, one where a hand brushed the helmet of Stafford, and another where Allen (if I'm remembering correctly) landed on top of Stafford in the action of a tackle... meanwhile Smith was getting driven into the ground with regularity against Pittsburgh but it was not called a single time. IMHO the rule book is TOO big. Stupid rules that the refs have to watch for that have literally no effect on the game play get called all the time. The old 12th man penalty while he's running off the field is the dumbest rule in the book. If the 12th guy on defense is 1 step from the sideline and CLEARLY not engaging in the action of the play that should not be a penalty, and the Refs should not be required to watch that action instead of watching the actual play beginning and alerting on an issue that does actually effect gameplay. If they would simplify the rulebook so that rules don't change based on situation... like if an offensive player fumbles forward and it goes out of bounds then the ball comes back to the spot of the fumble... UNLESS he fumbles into the endzone and it goes out of bounds, then it's a touchback.. another stupid rule.

If we were @ Seattle, I bet they flex us. On top of that, Cleveland is playing @ New York so how many Rockefeller Square pictures and videos will we see during commercial breaks. A 'contending' Giants team IN New York 5 days before Christmas gives NBC some serious optics. I GUARANTEE that played a role. + The SNF football game in Week 16 is Titans @ Packers... no chance NBC is giving that game up.

Didnt get a sack here either... so terrible... smh

BUT! Why didnt he get a sack on this pass rush play?

I wasnt sold anything... his pass rushing production is not poor either

Someone tell the next 3rd round WR that they're not doing well enough if they dont match Mclaurins stats

There is no fault... this rotation makes the defense more efficient It's about stopping the opposing offense to give the team a chance to win... stats are a result, not a goal

I believe the shifting TE, no 85, was supposed to chip him and Chase beat him so bad he looked unblocked.

just copy the link and paste it.

He's not, you're ignoring it because it doesn't fit your narrative. If Chase Young is not asked to pass rush on every play, then you can't get mad when he doesn't get a sack. There are a lot of plays that his is not rushing the passer, he's got gap control, run defense, or edge contain. Add to that a fair amount of times the other team is literally gameplanning to slow him down. Additionally he does not play 100% of the snaps because we have the franchise leader in sacks playing the same position he is. Bosa did not have Ryan Kerrigan eating up obvious pass rushing situations from him. Look at Bosa's snap count vs Young... Bosa played 777 snaps his rookie season across 16 games, Young through 11 games has played 423. Bosa played 76% of San Frans snaps... Young has played in 68%. 8 % may not be a ton but there is likely a very stark contrast in the situations he's one the field... hence the analogy of the batter getting ABs. If he's not pass rushing specifically then there's a lack of opportunity for those all encompassing stats you're prioritizing. Young plays primarily on downs that can result in a run or a pass so the assignments and responsibilities aren't "go get the QB." Go back and watch the game yesterday, there were MULTIPLE situations where you could tell Young was intentionally not going up field. He engaged the blocker, then stepped back and jumped into a potential passing lane. More than once he took it away. That's by design because we knew Ben was not going to sit back there and take sacks all game.

nowhere did I say they 'didn't matter.'

no... YOU are bringing up your OPINION about what PRODUCTION provides value. WE are trying to tell you that there IS PRODUCTION that you are choosing to ignore. Stats lie all the time. Jameis Winston broke records in Tampa Bay last year throwing for 5100 yards (319 ypg)... the team went 7-9. Tom Brady is in the same offense and he's thrown for 3300 yards through 12 games (275 ypg) and the team is 7-5 and comfortably in the playoff race. Is Tom Brady not anywhere near Jameis?

Baldy was controlling the screen so he was changing the speed of it, slowing it down and speeding it up...

are you talking about the tweet I shared? That's All-22. Its a subscription package through NFL.com that basically gives you coaches film... hence the break down of the play across the scroll on the top. It's not a broadcast camera.

Pretty sure I saw Chase touch Ben 3 times in this highlight package.... I mean....

😆😆😆😆😆

Haha fair point.
