Steve Clinkscale Appreciation Thread
I know there are a lot of appreciation threads right now. But I personally have never seen a bigger transformation mid-season than what has happened with D.J. Turner. And it's not like Vincent Gray hasn't made huge strides as well. Clinkscale has worked magic with a group that was expected to give up roughly 400 yards to Ohio State's uber talented wide receivers.

That performance by our DBs again the best three WRs in the country was nothing short of phenomenal. The few downfield catches were all unbelievable catches by future first round picks who were well-covered. Well done Coach and men!

Their receivers are pretty miraculous.
Stroud was great when clean, as advertised.
But if they called holding properly, Stroud would never have been clean.
The defense was excellent at every level... some poor tackling is my only criticism... but on the whole, it was a WOW day for our defense. Fantastic.

Yes, this. In terms of overall talent and experience the least of any secondary in Harbaugh's tenure. They have over-achieved this year, playing with discipline and resiliency.
No shame in what OSU gained on them that is an elite trio of receivers...and each of them made huge plays facing excellent coverage.
Such a deserving win for Gray and Hawkins. Really happy for them.

Came for the sentiment, stayed for the self-own.
