FentayeJones Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Another Miami Hurricane receiver. I guess signing Jake Long made Burton expendable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRid Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 LaRon Byrd was with Cleveland last year so Shanahan knows him. He got cut by Miami this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRid Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 We have a lot of Wr, but I guess they felt we needed another. I'm confused as to who will play FB if DiMarco gets injured. Shanahan used DiMarco quite a bit against the Eagles and I expect he wants to always use a FB a decent amount. Mooney got injured and he is the only one who even started learning this system.

raysnill1 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 the defense has a long way to go but I was impressed. it was so refreshing seeing guys swarm to the ball. case in point, on that -8 yard run by Murray, Babs was chop blocked to the ground but jumped back up and was the first to get to Murray after Scho missed the tackle. I see now, if we can stop the run every game like we did against the Eagles, we aren't allowing anything deep to happen, so the sacks will come. we just gotta work on the tackling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize that Bradford was leaving zero time for sacks. We were right there on many attempts. We may have a long ways to go but if we're not playing a quick shot offense, he goes down at least 3 or 4 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRid Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 Check out this crap. I guess I need to see it again, but I thought Mathews was no longer defenseless when Moore hit him. Vaughn McClure ESPN Staff Writer Atlanta Falcons strong safety William Moore told me he was fined more than $23,000 for his hit on Eagles receiver Jordan Matthews during Monday night's game. He plans to appeal. Moore received a warning letter from the NFL last season about his numerous illegal hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of control and power hungry. Dude made a legal hit there all in the flow of the play. It's good to see Mo back out there getting after it. He got himself a pic on a nice read and that'll surely get his juices flowing again. The cool thing is we have two pick this year already. One for each of our starting Safeties.

It was helmet-to-helmet, and even though it didn't draw a flag in live action, it looked pretty brutal on replay.With Moore being a repeat offender, I'm not surprised he got fined.That's just the reality of today's NFL after all these concussions.

KRUNKuno Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) So we're just going to ignore the fact that we're signing a receiver when we have Dropsies Magee Hardy who cant even find a way to be active on gameday?I liked Byrd in college as well. Good pickup even if just for depth. Gotta love how the new regime refuses to be satisfied. Edited September 16, 2015 by KRUNKuno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayOzOne Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 That's exactly why they went to the dink and dunk. Bradford was getting killed even though we didn't sack him. The best way to beat a pass rush is to give them nothing to rush at. The second best way to beat a pass rush is to let them push hard for three or four seconds and then make them get back to do it again 20 seconds later. Their pace was furious and even though we're deep on the DL, our guys were gassed. That drive at the beginning of the fourth quarter was strategically significant as the plays made at the end of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
