The good news is we are only down 7 having turned it over twice. Cut the TO's an it's probably a tie. Also, we have had Chesson open deep twice.
Bad news is the TO's and the fact that Rudock couldn't hit Chesson.
September 3rd, 2015 at 10:04 PM ^
Pass pro has been good. We nned to open it up and get Rudock in rythym. I'd like to see a 2 minute offense series in the 3rd quarter.
September 3rd, 2015 at 10:04 PM ^
The idea that the run blocking improved last year was always wishful thinking. What happened was the sked got easier. If you look at the seven common opponents in 2013 and 2014, we actually ran the ball worse.

So are you saying opponent is the stratifying variable?
September 3rd, 2015 at 10:05 PM ^
I wonder if you don't go ahead and put Morris in just for the simple fact that he can put the deep ball on the dime.
September 3rd, 2015 at 10:05 PM ^
The run defense is solid.
The pass defense isn't bad. There haven't been any egregious breakdowns, although Peppers has looked like a freshman in coverage. Lewis looks good.
The run offense does not exist.
The pass offense has been hot garbage. Rudock had two horrible interceptions and two horrible overthrows on gift-wrapped touchdowns. I trust that he just played the worst half he'll play all season.
The special teams are adequate.

Special team almost got a block at the beginning?

Not sure if I should be happy or sad about being down 7.
Rudock had two open looks at Chesson that he missed. He threw two interceptions, one that was his fault and the other he gunned at Perry after he overthrew Chesson.
September 3rd, 2015 at 10:06 PM ^
Lack of running game is crucial. We need to get drake out there. Try Isaac more...

Rudock has really screwed up a few times. Jehu had a for sure touch down and another deep catch that rudock just biffed. I hope Ty Isaac gets some more run. I'm confident though, the defense has been FANTASTIC.
September 3rd, 2015 at 10:08 PM ^
Throwing with the wind on that one, just missed him

It'll be interesting to see how long we stick with trying to run between the tackles in the second half... It's not working well, and time will become a factor quickly if we can't come up with seven points in a hurry (and that doesn't seem like a stretch right now.)
September 3rd, 2015 at 10:09 PM ^
Yah. Need some completions to maybe open up some running room. This game is on the QB. Has to play better to win

after the past 2 years I'm out of complaints. this team looks better prepared for gameday.
September 3rd, 2015 at 10:07 PM ^
Making changes at QB is the most annoying/overrated thing fans demand for...
Don't get me wrong, you can't put up with nothing forever. But the first INT was clearly on Perry and the 2nd may have too although it looked like a high pass.
No excuse for the missed deep balls, but he's commanding the huddle and he actually looks like a QB out there.
Let's see if he can settle in before we pull him.
If it's the start of the 4th and you're still not getting anything. Give Shane a drive or 2 just to see what he can do.
I think the passing play calling has to be a little better. Rudock is great at the short throws...give him more.
Rudock is the kind of QB that should be 10 for 12 for 90 yards and 1 TD.
Short throws!
September 3rd, 2015 at 10:09 PM ^
All they've done is short throws! Get Darboh more touches

No excuse on missing Chesson not once, but twice! We complained about Shane and honestly so far Rudock hasn't shown to be that much better.

If you have absolutely no run game, you could put Tom Brady in there and he's going to throw picks. The issue isn't the QB, it's the same issue that has plagued this team since 2007, no o-line and no stable running back. If you don't have a run game and your QB is anyting less than a throw-god, you are going to get hammered. Here we are, another year, another shitty run game. It's going to be a long season unless Harbaugh can work a miracle.
September 3rd, 2015 at 10:07 PM ^
He doesn't look that good. He doesn't make guys miss and he doesn't have the speed to make big plays.
If we can figure out how to score 17 in the second half, I think we win it.
September 3rd, 2015 at 10:07 PM ^
Half-time adjustments???? Is that a thing? Can we do this?
September 3rd, 2015 at 10:08 PM ^
I think this announcing team is pretty good. Color me surprised (like Cowherd's hair).
September 3rd, 2015 at 10:14 PM ^
... if you mean the guys in the booth. When Utah had the 4th and 1 at the end of the half, one of those guys was saying that we should let them have it? Huh? After them carrying on 20 minutes earlier about how their FG kicker is the besat kicker in the world?
September 3rd, 2015 at 10:08 PM ^
Peppers/Rudock two worst guys on field. Good news is that should be pretty fixable at halftime. Love to see Rudock connect on one of those deep balls -- guys wide open
September 3rd, 2015 at 10:09 PM ^
One thing I've noticed is that we've been getting receivers open all night, for all the speculation that we might struggle there. Rudock's either missed them or thrown at the covered guy. He's locking in on people, which isn't what I expected out of him.
September 3rd, 2015 at 10:09 PM ^
Take some pressure off Rudock. D needs to force another turnover to even things up. Down 7, that's OK given first game issues.
September 3rd, 2015 at 10:10 PM ^
I just hate seeing our linemen getting blown up off the ball. Our last drive saw a whiff due to a swim move and a right guard getting pushed back by a DT who was on his KNEES. It's fundamentals we're still lacking

This would be the third year of a subpar o line. At somepoint I guess we have to say that they just dont have the talent. Hopefully, they improve over the season though.
September 3rd, 2015 at 10:10 PM ^
Strong, Fast, Smart. Love the way they reacted to the screen at end of half. Everyone saw it and reacted the right way. Nice.

Morris is not the answer right now. Put Rudock in the shotgun and let him hit some quick passes and get in rhythm.

If we put Morris in what happens? We have another QB with opening season jitters, who has a propensity for turnovers to start with?
Keep Rudock in, he will settle down in the second half.
September 3rd, 2015 at 10:14 PM ^
for third and long passing game. We don't have the play makers at QB or receiver to make it happen. We need to mix up the play calling and try to surprise them or keep them off balance.
