KDawg Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Going to put a touch more effort in this week (but not too much more). Brian Robinson looked great. 4.89 pards per carry is solid. Defensively Hudson, Quan, Forbes, Henry, Harris all flashed a little bit... Which was nice to see. Howell is completely and utterly broken, though. Having said that, the line looked better without Wylie. Again. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say he is the only one on the team that showed any improvement from last year. He took a perceived weakness in his game, catching passes out of the backfield, and turned it into a strength. I think he has a chance to really breakout next year and become one of the top 5 backs in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs+Robinson… *shudder* think of how dynamic one of them would have been on the bench and the other would be in pass pro under Bienemy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I don't know how I feel about BRob as a legit back...he jus seems too easy to upgrade based in what he is right now...not in a rush to replace him yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Defensively and run game, I was initially impressed with their effort and physicality. Howell unfortunately is not the same guy as at the start of the season. I hope he can reboot over the offseason. EB might struggle to get another HC/OC job on any team but the chiefs. He has gotten worse as the season progressed as well but maybe the all-22 says differently. Off topic, Chase better turn it up big time in the playoffs or his FA options will not be extensive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus T Firefly Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I was going back and forth between this game and the Eagles. But Forbes did seem a lot better than earlier in the year from what I saw. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Robinson is probably a Pro Bowler with a better OC and if he doesnt get hurt. I could see him exploding next year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Mexican Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) Best part of the game was watching Purdy and SFs running game (180 yards). I saw nothing that makes me feel good about being a WSH fan. BRob was good in his very limited role but that's it. We are not a good team. Oh, and the Oline only allowed one sack, but Howell has looked worse even as the same line has allowed less sacks. That ocurred more or less at midseason. Something changed drastically: a lot less sacks but Howell has looked worse each game since.

I could see him exploding next year Agreed. In fact, had he not missed a couple games, he would’ve made a case for the Pro Bowl this year with his all purpose yardage total and his TD total. Jay pointed out the deck was stacked against him because the WRs and TEs are bad blockers and this OL lacks strength and athleticism in the run game so they are limited schematically in what they can do. BRob not only showed he is a heck of a pass catcher but he also showed better patience as a runner as the year went on. I know a bunch of you want everyone on this staff gone but props to Randy Jordan and Jennifer King for not only BRob but Rodriguez’s rookie year and Gibson’s improvement through the year. There’s a reason he was one of the few holdovers from Jay’s staff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Forbes did seem a lot better than earlier in the year from what I saw. Yep. It’s a shame he had the ejection, injury and then got lost in the depth chart behind BSJ (due to Ron’s loyalty to his vets and Quan taking control of the nickel spot that was eventually going to be his). The two big plays he gave up were that deep pass to Aiyuk on which he got his hand on the ball and the TD to Aiyuk where Purdy seemed to have nearly 10 seconds to throw the ball I am excited to see him vs Lamb. I’m sure Lamb will have a good game but the question will be how difficult Forbes makes it for him to get those yards 42 minutes ago, El Mexican said: Best part of the game was watching Purdy and SFs running game (180 yards).

Sam is clearly a momentum QB. If his guys are making plays for him, he goes on a roll. If he makes a mistake, things snowball for him. This aspect to his game is scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyHolt Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Trent thought Christian Holmes was coming in for a hug for a former teammate. No Trent, he was woozy about to pass out and fell into your arms and you dropped him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hdf561 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I maintain my thoughts today that I had during the game yesterday. 49ers are good but they are not great. They have a lot of weapons and it took a while for them to put us away. Now some can say “they played down to their competition” bla bla bla reality is you are judged on the games you play. They got beat by the Ravens, and didn’t play great against a 4 win team. Great teams KILL 4 win teams…should have never been close, should have never been tied at any point, and yet beginning of the 4th quarter it was still a winnable game. I mean if they are so good why was a sweating a -14 cover! They are playoff bound and will probably do well, but I don’t think this is a Super Bowl winning team I don’t know if this is a NFC championship team. As for us…Sam ain’t the whole problem…a good coach could make him a very good, and we need just over all better O-line, better play calling, better defensive scheme etc. No matter who they bring in after Ron it’s still gonna be a long long climb. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Sam is not the whole problem and better coaching, scheme etc would undoubtedly help. Question is, we just don't know how much. It's where a good GM and staff coming in would be able to see far better than us. Weird dynamic that we find ourselves in a position to draft a potential top QB this year. I personally think Sam is also very limited due to his height, I just don't think he sees the field all that well from the pocket especially the intermediate routes. Can possibly be overcome if your Brees but I don't think he will get that chance here due to our draft position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this fact is being glossed over He was forced down the teams throat as the starting vet RT. He was always a decent G who played a little T Coaching refused to remove or move him in the lineup even though he was getting his QB pummeled. 11 hours ago, Leonard Washington said: EB might struggle to get another HC/OC job on any team but the chiefs.

The upside with his body type is he is built like a RB and built to absorb hits. I believe he was 230+ at one point in college before trimming down.

AlwaysBeRedskins2Me Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Brob was averaging over 5 yards a carry at halftime. Had 8 carries. Then in the second half he got one...count it ONE carry. That's a massive indictment of EB. The game was still close as well, in the 3rd qtr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If was passing like a madman while getting hit what the hell changed in the second half of the season when sacks decreased. Like drastically. I mean, if logic serves us well his numbers would have become even more impressive. But he regressed drastically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get why we don’t use Gibson and Robinson to wear teams down and set up play action. Both are tough runners and can sneak out into a route.

veteranskinsfan Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I predicted correctly the final score of this game. Just patting myself on the head for finally getting a prediction right. Got food poisoning so could not watch the game. Glad the players did not roll over to the 49ers. They competed evidently by not getting blown out. The Arizona Cardinals players really kicked Philly good. Philly fans were booing them at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
